Racism, Old and New

I examine affirmative action, political correctness, and the assumption that discrimination qualifies as racism only when its victim is non-white.


Branding vs Value Creation

In this Marketing Mastermind article, I argue that genuine branding must arise from honest products, customer education, organisational values, and real value creation.


Come to Canada and Complain

I examine how some immigrants criticise Canada while idealising the countries they chose to leave, focusing on university tuition and public education.




Democracy of Pressure Groups

In this July 2003 report, I examine activist pressure groups, their hostility toward markets and profit, and the difference between genuine freedom and political pressure disguised as public interest.


Rules vs Reality

A short reflection on the difference between formal rules, stated principles, and the reality of institutional conduct.

In this article published in The Pioneer on 9 August 2002, I examine how caste-based reservation attempts to remedy historical discrimination by imposing a new system of unequal treatment.
