| | Forgotten Story of Indian Slavery |
 | | Africans and Indians did exchange slaves as commodities, but Europeans introduced an international market economy for labor, as colonial plantation societies developed an insatiable demand for workers, spurring the African slave trade as well as various forms of bond labor for impoverished Europeans. | | | For the enslavement of Indians forces us to rethink not only the institution of slavery, but the evolution of racism and racist ideologies in America. | | | Our historical mythology posits that American Indians could not be enslaved in large numbers because they too readily succumbed to disease when exposed to Europeans and they were too wedded to freedom to allow anyone to own them. |

| | It is already evident that the Indian economy has become more dependent on imports which has brought with it constant pressure on the value of the Rupee, leading to recursive bouts of high inflation. | | | This is because for some sections of Indian society and the Indian diaspora, globalization has come as something of a bonanza. | | | Those who have been taken in by promises of "partnership" during Clinton's much hyped visit to Indian might note that in spite of all the tall claims, FDI in the months following Clinton's visit actually fell, the trade deficit widened to a new record, and the rupee has shrunk in value. |

| | The decision is widely believed to be targeted at the influx of Indian IT professionals there, and a move triggered by the downturn in Germany's IT sector, which in turn is because of the slump in Europe's largest economy that has caused many German software engineers to lose their jobs. | | | But according to the Press Trust of India - the Indian news agency - a Malaysian police officer said later that some 164 Indians had been picked up after the raid on a building and close to 100 were immediately released on the intervention of the high commission and proof that they had valid visas. | | | Apart from the foreign office, the Indian IT industry, led by the software industry lobby NASSCOM, reacted sharply to the incident, describing it as unwarranted "mental harassment" of Indian IT professionals. |

| | Thanks to a booming economy, as well as Vajpayee's trip to Pakistan, India's most popular Prime Minister of the past decade has won over a wide spectrum of Indian votersand his party looks set to cash in on that appeal by calling general elections as early as April, five months before the scheduled date. | | | In Lucknow, Muslims say that they believe Vajpayee's sensitivity to their concerns stretches back to his tenure as India's Foreign Minister in the late 1970s, when he took steps to make it easy for Indian Muslims to work in the Middle East. | | | Even as the party touts Vajpayee as its benign, paternal face at the national level, it allows some of its local leaders to ignore any harassment of Muslims by Hindus in their states. |
