Welcome

An introductory post at the beginning of a new blog is probably useless, so I shall keep this brief. Functioning Anarchy will be a space where two Indian students in the US discuss, analyze and report on developments back home; largely political, but not forgetting those other great Indian pursuits, cricket and the Hindi film. The contributors: Ashish Mitter, freshman at Yale and first-time blogger and, for now at least, styling himself "Backbencher"; and myself, Keshava Guha, freshman at Harvard with erratic attempts at blogging, political and apolitical, behind me.

Our blog title is from John Kenneth Galbraith's description of India as "a functioning anarchy"; there can have been few more accurate ones.
