		<description><![CDATA[(An edited version of this article has appeared in the 10 Nov. Edition of DNA India and may be accessed here) The recent statements of Dr. Manmohan Singh at the G20 Summit are extremely unnerving. That the Prime Minister of the country- being a prominent economist himself- should say that inflation is good as it [...]

		<description><![CDATA[In the current issue of EPW, I respond to a rather shocking assertion made by a Mumbai-based rights activist &#8211; that the 9/11 attacks were orchestrated by the US military-industrial complex as a pretext to go to war.
