The border and Bangladesh It is baffling why Bangladesh should be concerned if India is erecting fences on the India-Bangladesh border. Govardhana Myneedu, Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh The Governor, actions The repeated Quixotic antics of certain Governors grossly erodes the respect one accords to the posts they have been enjoying all along.
