I started to write a memoir in 1998, and then shifted attention to a different project, examining the working of the Indian diplomatic system, which emerged as Inside Diplomacy, 2000. Though my recollection shaped that and subsequent writing, a thought persisted that I should tell my full story. I played a small role in the formation and execution India’s foreign policy. It is a great honor to work in the Foreign Service (IFS), to receive the President’s Letter of Commission as his envoy to a foreign state. Regardless of the work assigned to each person, we get to deal with an enormous range of issues in the course of a typical 30-plus-year career, from the day of entry into the Indian Foreign Service, right up to the date for ‘superannuation’—a word we Indians have uniquely made our own, meaning the end of an official’s working career. In India that used to happen at the age of 58, and I ended this career in July 1995 (that age bar rose to 60 in 1997). That relatively early age means that we get a chance at a second career, or a pursuit of a personal vocation. I have an allergy to the word ‘retirement’; it implies an end of activity, which is increasingly inaccurate in our time, when people are active into their 70s and later—till that ‘great retirement’, to meet our Maker, or attain heaven, or whatever. Friends, many of them Service colleagues, have seen and commented upon different chapters. I am beholden to Geoff Berridge, Chandra Chari, Kiran Doshi, Ranjit Gupta, and Suryakanthi Tripathi for their comprehensive assistance. Others x Diplomacy: At the Cutting Edge that have read and helped to improve different chapters include: Kamal Bakshi, Avtar Singh Bhasin, Rajiv K Chander, Satish Chandra, Ramu Damodaran, Chinmaya Gharekhan, Vivek Katju, MK Krishna Kutty, Edward Marks, Aly Nazerali, MK Rasgotra, Sharat Sabharwal, HHS Viswanathan, R Yogeshwar, and some others that chose not to be named. All of them have helped to add vital details, fill out omissions, and correct the text. I remain responsible for the errors that have persisted despite these efforts. I am immensely grateful to Chandra Chari for editing this book, not just for improving the text, but also offering many fine suggestions. My thanks are also offered to Manas Publications, the publisher of my first book, for helping with this book as well. The immediate family has been an ally and source of inspiration in all my writing efforts. This time, they have also been active collaborators, and trenchant critics too, sometimes telling me, ‘Surely you can’t write that…’; or, ‘Why have you left out…’. I have depended on Mimi’s memory to guide me with facts and filling out incidents of which my recollection had turned hazy, besides setting me right on details. Ajit and Priya, who were with us at seven of our overseas assignments, have chipped in with their stories. Priya has also helped with proofreading, editing and text improvements. Deepika has joined them in critiquing the text. I offer profound thanks to them, as always.

  • Politics of Coalition in India
    Journal of Power, Politics & Governance March 2014, Vol. 2, No. 1, pp. 01–11 ISSN: 2372-4919 (Print), 2372-4927 (Online) Copyright © The Author(s). 2014. All Rights Reserved. Published by American Research Institute for Policy Development Politics of Coalition in India Farooq Ahmad Malik1 and Bilal Ahmad Malik2 Abstract The paper wants to highlight the evolution of coalition governments in india. The evaluation of coalition politics and an analysis of how far coalition remains dynamic yet stable. How difficult it is to make policy decisions when coalition of ideologies forms the government. More often coalitions are formed to prevent a common enemy from the government and capturing the power. Equally interesting is the fact a coalition devoid of ideological mornings survives till the enemy is humbled. While making political adjustments, principles may have to be set aside and in this process ideology becomes the first victim. Once the euphoria victory is over, differences come to the surface and the structure collapses like a pack of cards. On the grounds of research, facts and history one has to acknowledge india lives in politics of coalition. Keywords: india, government, coalition, withdrawal, ideology, partner, alliance, politics, union Introduction Coalition is a phenomenon of a multi-party government where a number of minority parties join hands for the purpose of running the government which is otherwise not possible. A coalition is formed when many groups come into common terms with each other and define a common programme or agenda on which they work. A coalition government always remains in pulls and pressures particularly in a multinational country like india.

In the second half of the 1970s, Brian Eno, Larry Fast, Mickey Hart, Stomu Yamashta and many other musicians blurred the lines between rock and avantgarde. Brian Eno (34), ex-keyboardist for Roxy Music, changed the course of rock music at least three times. The experiment of fusing pop and electronics on Taking Tiger Mountain By Strategy (sep 1974 - nov 1974) changed the very notion of what a "pop song" is. Eno took cheap melodies (the kind that are used at the music-hall, on television commercials, by nursery rhymes) and added a strong rhythmic base and counterpoint of synthesizer. The result was similar to the novelty numbers and the "bubblegum" music of the early 1960s, but it had the charisma of sheer post-modernist genius. Eno had invented meta-pop music: avantgarde music that employs elements of pop music. He continued the experiment on Another Green World (aug 1975 - sep 1975), but then changed its perspective on Before And After Science (? 1977 - dec 1977).
