It signals a generational change and Modis complete takeover of the party. A publicity hound triggers a political storm by meeting Indias most-wanted fugitive across the border. But was there more to it than meets the eye, asks the Big Story on Ved Pratap Vaidiks now-famous meeting with terror mastermind Hafiz Saeed in Pakistan.

The Sport section story, The Germany We Can Admire, highlights how the globalised German team that lifted the World Cup is emblematic of a country that has shed its horrid past. Shekhar Guptas column National Interest says the response to the Hafiz Saeed-Ved Pratap Vaidik meet exposes us as an unthinking, jingoistic, under-employed nation. The story, Eternal Empire of the Living God, deals with how the Sathya Sai Baba empire is thriving despite the godman’s death three years ago. If you stare at your mobile phone every 10 seconds, hear it buzzing even when its not, beware, says the story, Hooked to the Handset.
