Datun is for all; On sentry duty; The cane packs a sting; The big layoff; Just not in the swing of things

Congress president Sonia Gandhi and PM Manmohan Singh though maintained an air of solemnity despite the swelling ocean of people. The PM said he had come as a pilgrim and went on to remind everyone how Gandhiji had come to Dandi at the invitation of a Muslim family—showing how India stood for the unity of all. Sonia did one better, drumming it in that the major threat to India today was communalism. She talked of the spirit of Gandhiji, saying India’s heritage is all about gyan, aapsi ekta and vivek. You could say the yatra was another way of restoring Gujarat’s pride.
