Towards Good Governance - 1
Dr.Rao VBJ Chelikani Bad governance by the governments and political instability are the main characteristics of all developing countries for the past seventy years, ever after their liberation from colonial domination.

Borders Have No Sanctity but Human Societies Do Have
Dr Rao VBJ Chelikani Land has been the common heritage of humankind to be enjoyed by all along with other live organisms which have been enjoying this common property much before the human species.

If it continues, we will not be able to build a society to live in Liberty, Equality, F…
