The tasks before the nation just keep increasing even as the time available to complete them is shrinking with elections round the corner. The finance ministry is engaged in bringing down the current account deficit, and the Reserve Bank of India with inflation. But the gross domestic product has an unlikely saviour in the high ground level inflation that props it up by at least 20 per cent. Political parties are not behind. If one attends to majority concerns, the other nurses the minority affairs. The media is equally eager to share the nation's judicial burden. Their studios have been refitted as fast track courts that can come with same-day judgements on crimes of every description. Everyone is doing their best to unwind the tangled web of a nation beset with problems.
