What do Britons have in common?

--------------
April 14th, 2009

What a dumb question to ask!
This question and similar ones are usually thrown into the political and media circles to re-visit the exhausted subject of integration. Ever since 9/11 and more particularly after 7/7, the debate about being British and its ramifications have started to become more imposing and trying to shape a dominant  public opinion [...]

Miliband told to mind his own business

--------------
January 21st, 2009

When Foreign Secretary David Miliband had visited India, little did he know his views on the Mumbai attacks would cause a media furore. His comments on the issue of Kashmir sparked a scathing attack on the foreign secretary from the Indian media as well as the India’s foreign ministry reacting strongly, saying India did not [...]

We [...]
