In the 1950s, India’s foreign policy towards China was incredibly utopian—utopian because the Indian government was being led by fools who were convinced that communist regimes are kind and nonviolent, and that they would never invade other nations. What else can one conclude after reading the praise that the Indians who held powerful positions in the government of that period were bestowing on China’s Chairman Mao Zedong. K. M. Panikkar, India’s ambassador to China from 1948 to 1952, wrote a book called *In Two Chinas: Memoirs Of A Diplomat* (published in 1954). In 1952, he met Ma... read more

Sustainable Practices, Less Chemical Fertilizer Lead To Higher Crop Yields
In farming, high crop yields are often associated with the use of human-made fertilizers.

In the remote rural village of Dauphin, in the Canadian province of Manitoba, economists tried out an unusual experiment.
