	The Hindu : Madhavrao Scindia, 1945-2001
		TO SAY THAT the death of Madhavrao Scindia is a loss to the Congress is to understate the overwhelming tragedy of his sudden unforeseen departure.
		Scindia's death is a loss to the polity itself - a fact that is accentuated in these distressing times when a dismal mixture of mediocrity and manipulativeness seems essential for political success.
		Narasimha Rao, one of Scindia's main ambitions was to establish himself as a meritocrat.

	He's history now -- Madhavrao Scindia
		Scindia met as many party legislators and workers as possible as part of his stock-taking exercise to get a first-hand assessment of the party's position in the face of an imminent split.
		Scindia remarked that the Congress had made a mistake in that ``we forgot the history and political record of Pawar who is known to have stabbed his leaders in the back".
		Scindia also clarified the disciplinary action against the trio was not taken not only because of the letterthey sent but also because ``they tried to exploit this and broadcast it to the whole nation'' though the issue was discussed threadbare in the Congress Working Committee.

		The death of Madhavrao Scindia in a plane crash is a big blow for Congress chief Sonia Gandhi, who is running out of senior, loyal leaders to advise her.

		Scindia was one person who belonged to the class she was comfortable with, had the political experience she valued, the mass appeal that made him an asset, and most importantly the loyalty that she could lean on.

	The man to emulate
		Madhavrao belonged to a rare breed of politicians who combined high qualifications of birth, education and upbringing and above all, a clean personal life and total probity in public life.
		Madhavrao could have afforded a lavish existence on his vast family fortune and could have indulged in the wasteful pastimes that many of his ilk were prone to.
		None can forget Madhavrao Scindia's lasting contribution to the working of the Indian Railways through the introduction of large-scale computerisation — no mean change in a bastion of colonial vestiges.

	The Hindu : Remembering Madhavrao Scindia
		The national political discourse has lost one of the fewer and fewer voices who are committed to preserving the basic pluralism and forward-looking liberalism of the Indian nation state as originally conceived of when India became independent and it was decided to run it as a democratic and secular state.
		While other former maharajas were inclined to dwell in the yesteryears of the princely era, in their dilapidated and damp palaces, Scindia was reluctant to cling to imagined privileges, preferring to roll up his sleeves and getting to work as a latter day technocrat.
		Yet it was also true that Scindia shied away from the sharp-edged critiques of the present political crises that are preferred by the Left parties.
