Most people at their first consultation take a furtive look at the surgeon’s hands in the hope of reassurance. Prospective patients look for delicacy, sensitivity, steadiness, perhaps unblemished pallor. On this basis, Henry Perowne loses a number of cases each year. Generally, he knows it’s about to happen before the patient does: the downward glance repeated, the prepared questions beginning to falter, the overemphatic thanks during the retreat to the door.

1.  Other people do not communicate due to their poor observation.

2.  Other patients don’t like what they see but are ignorant of their right to go elsewhere.

3.  But Perowne himself is not concerned.

4.  But others will take their place, he thought.

5.  These hands are steady enough, but they are large.

Trade protectionism, disguised as concern for the climate, is raising its head. Citing competitiveness concerns, powerful industrialized countries are holding out threats of a levy on imports of energy-intensive products from developing countries that refuse to accept their demands. The actual source of protectionist sentiment in the OECD countries is, of course, their current lackluster economic performance, combined with the challenges posed by he rapid economic rise of China and India – in that order.

1.  Climate change is evoked to bring trade protectionism through the back door.

2.  OECD countries are taking refuge in climate change issues to erect trade barriers against these two countries.

3.  Climate change concerns have come as a convenient stick to beat the rising trade power of China and India.

4.  Defenders of the global economic status quo are posing as climate change champions.

5.  Today’s climate change champions are the perpetrators of global economic inequity.

Mattancherry is Indian Jewry’s most famous settlement. Its pretty streets of pastel coloured houses, connected by first-floor passages and home to the last twelve saree-and-sarong-wearing, white-skinned Indian Jews are visited by thousands of tourists each year.

Given the cultural and intellectual interconnections, the question of what is ‘Western’ and what is ‘Eastern’ (or Indian) is often hard to decide, and the issue can be discussed only in more dialectical terms. The diagnosis of a thought as ‘purely Western’ or ‘purely Indian’ can be very illusory.

1.  Thoughts are not the kind of things that can be easily categorized.

2.  Though ‘occidentalism’ and ‘orientalism’ as dichotomous concepts have found many adherents.

3.  ‘East is East and West is West’ has been a discredited notion for a long time now.

4.  Compartmentalizing thoughts is often desirable.

5.  The origin of a thought is not the kind of thing to which ‘purity’ happens easily.
