	Mani Shankar Aiyar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mani Shankar Aiyar (born April 10, 1941, Lahore) is a controversial Indian politician.
		Aiyar's remarks created confusion as well in the ruling party; the official spokesman, Anand Sharma, noted that the Congress Party did not consider Savarkar either a freedom fighter or a patriot; a few days later, the Prime Minister dissociated himself and the cabinet from that view.
		On elevation to the Cabinet he again annoyed many in a TV interview with noted journalist Prabhu Chawla in which he made impolite gestures with both his thumbs.

		New Delhi: Petroleum Minister Mani Shankar Aiyar is expected to suggest a steep hike of upto Rs 50 per cylinder in domestic LPG price and two different rates for kerosene from 2006 to cut losses the oil firms incur on selling the two mass-consumed cooking fuels.
		Aiyar is likely to tell the high-powered Energy Coordination Committee, chaired by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, next Friday (December 16) that the over Rs 110 per cylinder loss on selling domestic LPG can be bridged by raising price by Rs 50 on January 1 and then again on July 1 next year.
		Aiyar's idea of dual pricing of kerosene was its use as adulterant in diesel, a problem Manjunath had sought to deal with when he was allegedly killed by a petrol pump owner.

		In the Cabinet reshuffle, Mani Shankar Aiyar was stripped of the Petroleum, Oil and Natural Gas portfolio at a critical juncture in the trajectory of India's energy economy.
		Sensitivity to this consideration demanded that Manmohan Singh should not have stripped Mani Shankar Aiyar of Petroleum Ministry especially if he wanted to avert giving the impression that he was acting under U.S. pressure, or out of an urge to please Washington.
		Mani Shankar Aiyar's demotion must be seen in the larger context of mounting U.S. pressure on numerous issues, including intellectual property, industrial policy, and negotiations under the World Trade Organisation, as well as the recent aide memoire against India's purchase of a Syrian oilfield jointly with China.

		Ironically, Aiyar is using the print media to attack his opponents for using the media to propagate their achievements.
		Sir — Perhaps Mani Shankar Aiyar needs to be told that it is peculiar to throw sermons on how to run the country at the opposition; it is idiotic not to have done anything despite having been in power for more than 50 years.

		To the extent that it is used to describe Jayalalitha's corruption, it is closer to the amount of money she allegedly procured by bribes and extortion than the number of cases that have been registered against her.

	Why Mani Aiyar is wrong (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		In Aiyar’s utopia, every religious community would try to be secular internally (that is, viciously self-critical), but would seek to be “liberal” (that is, uncritical) when it comes to other communities.
		Aiyar’s prescription of secular fundamentalism is, in fact, a recipe for reviving precisely the kind of anti-Muslim hatred that he claims to despise.
		Aiyar’s secular fundamentalism is evidence that he hasn’t understood the roots of the problem.
