Who today in India is making the most vociferous case to let the markets function and for the government to play facilitator rather than bully?
I'd argue it's not any bureaucrat, policy wonk or columnist in Delhi, but a group of farmers protesting in nearby Uttar Pradesh against their government's approach to land acquisition for the Yamuna Expressway project. The project, when completed, will create a six-lane, 165-kilometer freeway that will cut travel time from New Delhi to Agra to two hours from at least four. Last week, as protests flared, at least four people, including two policemen, died in the violence.
This is the next chapter in an ongoing saga, punctuated by the arrest of Rahul Gandhi, a Member of Parliament and office bearer of the Indian National Congress who last year had promised to be the farmers' "soldier in Delhi". Mr. Gandhi has been released on bail.
Last September, in the wake of violent protests over the same project, the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati announced a new land acquisition policy which would raise the amount per square meter each farmer would receive, although crucially this would remain set by the government.
So what do the farmers want and does it make sense? And can their actions be construed as anti-development?
Unlike in some other disputes such as the Vedanta bauxite mining project in Orissa that the government rejected, the issue here is not principally about farmers or tribals not wanting to sell their land. The farmers' objection is that the government's approach of fixing the price grossly undervalues their land, which will presumably jump exponentially in value when c [...]
One of the most attractive features that Facebook offers to their users is the photos albums. This feature allows the users and all of their friends to upload unlimited pictures to share with their personal networks.
In addition to this users can also create Facebook "tag" photos. Through 'Tagged" pictures person's profile is connected to the particular picture they appear in or tagged in. Using the unique feature we can easily view the pictures of those specific people and also reach to their profile pages quickly, all without having to search through a photo album.
While it's wonderful getting all of these photos online, it can not be guaranteed that they will always remain available. There is a chance to lose access to these pictures if Facebook removes any of the photo albums, if the internet is down, or if the person who uploaded the pictures decides to remove them. So the users often seek for a solution that would make it possible to save all the Facebook pictures individually.
In this article we will guide you how to download your Facebook Tagged photos without any difficulty.
First visit the website of fb DOWNLOADER and click on the Download button. After the software download is finished then you can move to start downloading your photos. The software gives the u [...]
Election results for the states including Tamil Nadu and West Bengal were announced Friday. It was no ordinary Friday: It was Friday the 13th. But for the women who were voted into power yesterday, it was a lucky day. Mamata Banerjee's Trinamool Congress Party broke the long run of the Communist Party of India (Marxist), who had been at the helm of the state for over three decades. Communist-led coalitions lost not just in West Bengal, but in Kerala as well. In Tamil Nadu, actress-turned-politician J. Jayalalitha's AIADMK swept the DMK out of power, a party which has been the focus of corruption allegations.
India Real Time presents a selection of editorials, commentaries and opinions on the state elections from Indian newspapers.
Political analyst Mahesh Rangarajan, began his Saturday editorial in The Times of India with an apt phrase from the bible – "How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle/ O Jonathan thou wast slain in thine high places" – to comment on the loss of the CPI(M) and the DMK. Mr. Rangarajan wrote that the voters did more than just "unseat incumbent governments," adding that the results will force the parties to "rethink the fundamentals of its ideology" and lead many others to "ponder the perils of putting kin and clan in charge of p [...]

Individuals suffering from the problem of cystic fibrosis can take a sigh of relief with the discovery of a treatment for this problem. Recently, Sanofi-Aventis BioTalent Challenge was conducted during which a student presented a new kind of drug. This drug has been discovered with the help of a supercomputer system.
The student who is honored with this discovery is Marshall Zhang who studies in eleventh grade at Richmond Hill's Bayview Secondary School. This brilliant student has carried out his project under the guidance of his mentor, Dr. Christine Bear. She works as a researcher at the hospital for Sick Children's Research Institute in Toronto.
Marshall Zhang shares his experience and events that led to the discovery of treatment for Cystic Fibrosis. Using supercomputing network he figured out the action of two different compounds against the protein that causes the disease in human beings. When he carried out the experiment it was observed that both the chosen compounds acted on the protein but the position at which they acted was different. Following this finding, it was not difficult for Zhang to infer that these compounds can be used together for fighting back the causal defective protein for this disease.
The findings until this point were only in theory and he still had to confirm it by applying on living cells. He carried on his experiment further and it came ou [...]
