Elavalagan, May 19, 2020 American President Trump again and again calls COVID-19 a “Chinese virus”. His March 18th tweet went saying “I always treated the Chinese Virus…” Then again he justified his “Chinese virus” terminology during a press conference on the same day. Again on March 19th he vigorously defended his use of the term […]
(Elavalagan, Nov 19, 2019) One of the excessively glorified present-day phenomena is democracy. It has been sold like a magical powder that would give any nation the best ever possible government over all other methods. And of course in theory democracy sounds smart, just, wise, and whatever other glorifying description one may have for it. […]

July 13, 2017, Alagan Elavalagan Even asking this question may give a strong heartache to some, though it may be a politically motivated one. So, it is better that we clarify the matter first.

By Elavalagan, December 16, 2016 From the individual nations to the United Nations, the message is clear: terrorists are evil! There is no second guessing on that, period. Every human of the world is expected to stand up against terrorists, reject them, and stop them. That is the expected resolve of a civilized world. But […]
By Elavalagan America is ready and willing to move production of its F-16 fighter jet, the Fighting Falcon, to India. And it appears India too is considering it. This move wouldn’t just be a move to low-cost manufacturing. Instead it would be a full-scale transfer-of-technology move. This idea would be unimaginable about 40 years ago, […]
Death of UN vs. Birth of Palestine By: Elavalagan, October 23, 2015 Which will come first, the birth of Palestine or the death of the UN? The United Nations (UN) as we know it today will not last forever. It wasn’t the first global organization of this kind and it won’t be the last either. […]
