Indian Cabinet and Politics is in a sense a pioneer work inasmuch as it is the first analytical and empirical study of the actual working of the Indian Cabinet.
The first chapter, the Place of Cabinet in the Indian Political System, defines the Cabinet in terms of Power Mechanism and goes on to analyze the dynamics of power through the Cabinet and the Prime Minister and the Ministerial changes.
The Chapter on Cabinet Reforms, the proposal of an alternative model, in particular, is an original contribution of this study.

The Cabinet Committee on WTO on Thursday finalised the Indian stand for the forthcoming Doha ministerial conference opposing launch of a new trade negotiation round in the World Trade Organisation unless a consensus is reached among the member countries.

 Indian security cabinet to meet to decide on sending troops to Iraq   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
India's security cabinet was to meet here Monday to discuss sending troops to Iraq as part of a US-led stabilisation force, amid media speculation that New Delhi will stall for time by seeking more "clarifications" on the issue.
Reports in all major Indian newspapers said New Delhi was unlikely to come out with a clear-cut "yes" or "no" after the meeting, preferring to couch its refusal instead in polite language -- seeking more time to decide.
An Indian refusal to send about 17,000 troops in response to a request by Washington conveyed here in May would likely displease the US administration, which has dispatched several envoys to allay Indian concerns, reports said.

English is the co-official language of the Indian Union, and that each of the several states mentioned above may also have another co-official language.
The northern Indian languages from the Indo-European family evolved from Old Indo-Aryan such as Sanskrit, by way of the Middle Indo-Aryan Prakrit languages and Apabhramsha of the Middle Ages.
There are those scholars who believe the scripts of the Northern languages (like Sanskrit, Bengali, Hindi and Punjabi) to be distant derivations of the Aramaic alphabet, though this is a disputed theory primarily because the number and grouping of sounds and letters are so radically different.
