Khare's wizardry

Khare is back with his histrionics. I have never seen him ask tough questions, especially of Congress, which he grudgingly acknowledges is beyond its expiry date. Here he comes out with the Khareish brilliance to suggest that India won the world up in 1983 because of Indira Gandi.
