Pilgrim's progress -
Hindu
The Supreme Court's order that the Haj subsidy be phased out will be welcomed by almost everyone, including the majority of Muslims, because it strikes at the heart of a dysfunctional management system that is run in the interest of politicians and self-styled community leaders and not the average pilgrim. Haj is the fifth pillar of Islam and every Muslim is enjoined to perform the pilgrimage at least once in her or his lifetime provided she or he is physically fit and has the financial means to discharge this obligation.

Verbatim |
 The UPA 2 government was conceived in corruption – and never really recovered from that taint. Right from the day the election results came in, the back-channel negotiations began for the reappointment of A Raja as Telecom Minister to advance the interests of certain telecom majors (in return for illegal gratification). It was an enterprise which set the stage for India’s biggest corruption scandal and virtually set the political tone for the rest of the four years. As subsequent exposes have established, Manmohan Singh and other key Ministers knew full well that mischief was afoot, but pointedly looked the other way. That was the beginning of the slide, and the UPA government in general – and Manmohan Singh in particular – was mortally wounded from that episode. But rather than press ahead with remedial action, the government slid further into the cesspool of corruption.
