The only Indian president I can claim to have known personally was Kocheril Raman Narayanan, the tenth president, holding office from July 25, 1997, to July 25, 2002. He was previously India’s ambassador to America when I worked in Washington D.C. as a journalist and we often dined together at his home in the company of his delightful Burmese-born wife, Usha.

In view of the revival of the controversial issue of “one nation, one election”, I reproduce below an analysis which I penned when the Narendra Modi government raised the issue. Five years later, the essay is perhaps more relevant today than when it was first written.

In view of the historic case being argued before the Supreme Court on the legality of the abrogation of Article 370, I reproduce below an essay on the genesis of this bond of faith between India and the people of Jammu and Kashmir in the historical perspective of the times and circumstances in which the Article was enacted. This piece was published almost a month before the abolition of the Article on August 5, 2019.
