The opposition parties of India brought economic activity to a halt in their protest against rising fuel prices. There is a mismatch between India's economic aspirations and political culture. The values of the political class and middle class are entirely different. The middle class is largely apathetic to politics, and mostly don't engage in it, writes Sadanand Dhume in The Wall Street Journal.

Pakistan's significance in fundamentalism goes beyond its status as a safe haven for Al-Qaida and potential exporter of Armageddon.

A popular theory holds in Pakistan that their country is under threat from what the worldlier of Islamabad's residents call the American Kosher Deli - an alliance of Americans, Israelis and Indians, whose capital is New Delhi. In the faith-obsessed imagination, religion is the defining feature of every person, country and culture. By this logic, non-Muslims are inevitably hostile to Islam, writes Sadanand Dhume. |
