Would-be hero poisoned by his own sting
Article Abstract:
Informing the UK ministry of defence about the supply of arms to terrorists in northern India has led to Peter Bleach, a former military intelligence officer, being arrested by the Indian authorities. He has been charged with 'waging a war against India,' and could face the death penalty. He fears that the Indian authorities may sacrifice him in order to cover up their inefficiency in dealing with the terrorists after he carefully laid a trap.

Tales of the city
Article Abstract:
People visiting India for the first time will experience a severe culture shock. In Delhi, in particular, everywhere is extremely crowded, and travellers often spend as little time as possible there before moving on to other destinations. However, it is worth taking the time to look at Delhi more closely. Some parts of the city have remained virtually unchanged for centuries, and it is possible to forget the pressures of modern life there.
