		<description><![CDATA[Guest Post by SHASHANK KELA Years ago, after the fall of the Berlin wall and the collapse of communism, a faux philosopher announced the end of history. What he meant was the permanent victory of capitalism and its correlate, liberal democracy. Unfortunately history has an unkind habit of rolling right along, throwing a sucker punch [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kafila.org&amp;blog=2985212&amp;post=8310&amp;subd=kafilabackup&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This blog post is not about the arbitrariness and authoritativeness that the municipality, development authorities, police and other government officials are displaying with regards to the road widening issue. Without a slightest doubt, the authoritarian and arbitrary behaviour of these government authorities must be publicly condemned and opposed. But, we also need to focus our energies into understanding why road widening is being promoted and executed in Bangalore with the frenzy and arbitrariness that we are seeing currently. ....<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kafila.org&amp;blog=2985212&amp;post=8308&amp;subd=kafilabackup&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

But Ashraf does not grudge the throw of the dice that has made him a safediwallah with a mazdoor’s body. A small man’s body can do things that a slenderchamak-challo cannot even contemplate.
