Ten Greatest Leaders of the World
Winston Churchill
The master statesman stood alone against fascism and renewed the world’s faith in the superiority of democracy
The avatar of fascism posed the century’s greatest threat to democracy and redefined the meaning of evil forever
He led a mass struggle for racial equality that doomed segregation and changed America forever
Brazenly defying the West, he revived Islam’s faithful and authored a new form of religious government. The prescriptions were often chilling
Driven by ideological zeal, he reshaped Russia and made communism into a potent global force
As the world’s most famous prisoner and, now, his country’s leader, he exemplifies a moral integrity that shines far beyond South Africa
The most tireless moral voice of a secular age, he reminded humankind of the worth of individuals in the modern world
Parliament session starts, ‘fireworks’ expected
The economic crisis will be the big issue after Parliament reconvenes on Friday even as the session is expected to be a short one.
The session is also expected to be stormy with the United Progressive Alliance Government facing fire from the Opposition on many other issues.
With General Elections next year and five states going to polls starting November 14, there are many issues like the global financial crisis and its impact on the Indian economy, terror attacks, communal riots, price
rise and the Indo-US nuclear deal, which the Opposition will try to raise.
It could also be the last session under the leadership of Manmohan Singh.
But with elections for Assemblies of Delhi, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Chattisgarh and Mizoram already announced, there are many who feel that there is no point of continuing with a month-long session.
So it might well be cut short by at least 10 days to allow leaders to campaign aggressively in a poll that is already been billed as mini General Election.
“Whenever we need to have something, we will discuss it. There is no hard and fast position on that because political exigencies can definitely come,” Parliamentary Affairs Minister Vayalar Ravi said.
An estimated Rs 25000 are spent per minute on Parliament’s activity.
