Bad to worse
* This refers to At UN,Pak again plays the victim, (IE,September 29). With enormous aid and grants from the US over a long period,Pakistan ought to have been progressive. But that was not to be. Pakistan has had ample opportunities to improve relations with India through trade,sports,etc,but its consistent patronage to terror against India has further harmed relations. What is scary is the ramification of its nuclear arsenal falling in the hands of terrorists.

No backing out
* This refers to State of drift (IE,September 30). First of all,the Congress should not have committed to the separation of Telangana from Andhra Pradesh without consulting other political parties. When they had done so,they could not keep that sensitive issue under the carpet for long. It is already on the backfoot after Jaganmohan Reddy formed his own party and took with him many Congress heads.

Wrong choice?
* In India returns to Hindu growth rate talk (IE,September 30),James Lamont has expressed the anguish of every Indian who voted the Congress to power. At that time,Manmohan Singhs credentials oushone those of his competitors. Sadly,the high hopes vested in him seem to have been belied. But such is the admiration that he commands that people still do not see him as the reason for the slowdown in reforms. It appears though that control has slipped from his fingers.

Mindless action
* Apropos the editorial Wronging women (IE,September 30),the Jammu and Kashmir government has made a blunder and must initiate corrective measures immediately to contain the damage. The trauma of rape victims is further compounded with this foolish and insensitive act. The government must be taken to task for this. Now the victims could be exposed to the public gaze for no fault of theirs.

One ban fits all?
* This refers to Pesky SMSes blocked,messages capped at 100 pages a day (IE,September 27). TRAI should consider nuancing this restriction. The indiscriminate ban on sending more than 100 text messages per day will adversely affect service providers like online travel agencies and free group SMS sites. Many online transactions need verification through phone calls or text messages and the current ban will surely impact their business adversely.
I think this is an action taken without sufficient research and consultation with all stakeholders. I agree with TRAI that those who send unsolicited text messages in bulk must be penalised to stop them from harassing people.
