Trivia
Two individuals - Ms. J. Jayalalithaa and Mr. K. V. Kamath -
dominated the headlines yesterday.
Ms. Jayalalithaa regained her right to Tamil Nadu CMship after
Karnataka High Court exonerated her all charges of holding disproportionate
assets. The verdict came two days after Mumbai High Court showed exemplary
promptness in admitting Salman Khan's appeal against lower court order and
granted him bail pending decision on his appeal.
Because of these decisions, a large section of society is
raising question on the entire justice delivery system, blaming it to be
squarely pro rich & powerful.
The appointment of Mr. K. V. Kamath as first chief of US$100bn
BRIC Bank has also surprised some. The outburst of Deepak Parekh and Arun
Shourie against the government (both were speculated to be front runner for the
post) had made it clear that they are not in the reckoning.
The question that is bothering some at Raisina Hills is what
made Kamath supersede Subba Rao, Bimal Jalan and Urjit Patel. Raghuram Rajan
had already denied his interest or consideration.
