UK banks: Nine months is a long time in UK banking. When Royal Bank of Scotland and Lloyds Banking Group signed up for state insurance on a combined £585 billion of their suspect loans in February, each was assumed to be a basket case. Now the full details of the insurance scheme and enforced state aid disposals are public, it"s clear that RBS is in the worse shape.

So, it is not surprising that both M Bharath Bhushan and N Venugopal — editors of this slim and eclectic collection of essays on various facets of Telangana life, culture, politics and economics — labour hard to link the two and, in the process, denounce the mainstream separatist leadership.
