Election watchers in Pakistan realise that much would depend on the extent of the BJP’s mandate and who its allies would be in an expected coalition government.
Pakistanis have been watching the election scene in India with considerable trepidation. The intellectual elite and some sections of the media are aware that détente has progressed better whenever strong leadership has existed in both countries. However, an almost visceral dislike of Narendra Modi seems to blur perspectives, not only on account of the 2002 Gujarat riots but also in expectation of a turn towards ultra-nationalism, accompanied by chest-thumping, anti-Pakistani belligerence and a revival of Hindutva politics.

Diversity and inclusion have been steadily gaining traction in corporate India in recent years. Much of this is centered on gender diversity, and companies are beginning to realize the business imperative of hiring women and creating an equitable work environment. But there is another aspect that human resource managers in India need to wake up to: The importance of effectively managing a multigenerational workforce.
One may argue that organizations across the world have always had to manage a multigenerational workforce. While that is true, India’s demographics are creating some unique challenges. Even as the world is graying, India is getting younger. By 2020, the average Indian will be only 29 years of age compared with 37 in China and the U.S., 45 in Western Europe and 48 in Japan.

INVESTIGATION That great gurgling noise you have been hearing over the last few years is the sound of Rs 3,00,000 crore of investor money in realty shares going down the drain.
Where did the money go? After all, even drains empty out into the sea. In the case of real estate, we know roughly where it went – into the pockets of politicians and their cronies - but cannot quite prove it.
The real estate business is simply not kosher and any commonsense understanding of visible signals can tell you that. For example, as the Sensex is hitting new highs, the BSE Realty Index is barely off its all-time lows.
