THE Indian hockey team has brought laurels to the country by winning the so far elusive Asia Cup 8216;India shut out a ghost, are Asia No. 18217;,
IE, September 29.

The convincing manner in which they beat Korea in the semi-final and the way they overcame Pakistani opposition in the final are really praiseworthy.

All credit to the players as well as the coach. The way in which they scored in the dying moments in both games shows how much the team has improved since the Champions Trophy, in which they repeatedly lost the advantage in the last few minutes.

Performances like these will help lure crowds away from cricket stadiums to hockey games.

I WOULD like to ask Arun Jaitley what he is doing to revamp the
judiciary 8216;Austerity is one thing, eulogising poverty quite another. We need to get out of this8217;, IE, September 29. We have to remember that justice delayed is justice denied.

It is a matter of shame and great concern that so many cases have been pending for decades. Because of this, people are not afraid of the law and think that they can get away with anything.

I HAVE come to feel that Praveen Togadia is a covert agent of some foreign anti-Indian agency. His utterances seek to destroy the fundamental foundations of the Constitution of India along with its religious-cultural identity.

Linguistic truisms

THIS is the best decision the Left Front has taken since coming to power in West Bengal 8216;Britain returns to Bengal: for English8217;s sake8217;, IE, September 28. Every Indian must realise that in the age of globalisation, English is an
international language and fluency is necessary for success.

Gender of faith

RENUKA NARAYANAN has very clearly and very honestly compared the contemporary Indian male sectarian gurus or swamijis with simple Amma, who teaches her devotees to love nothing but nature 8216;The Mother of all Ammas8217;, IE, September 28.

THIS is the best analysis of the Indo-Pak relationship I have come across 8216;To Islamabad via Washington8217;, IE, September 29. The fact of the matter is that Pakistan stands for everything which is contrary to Indian culture and ethos.

We should face this unfortunate reality and mould our policy accordingly, paying more attention to our own problems rather than to the illusive peace talks.
