The Last Reason
Very well written piece.
As I understand it, the basic thrust of the article is that army men are also human beings - and that they are fighting our wars, and bearing our burdens, for us. While we go about our ways, concerned only with mundane matters, and unconcerned at the human toll.

I have written another Sci-Fi short story - "The Trouble with Clones". Though, strictly speaking, it is not a robot story, I hope you like it as well.

Domestic Servants
Sheela Singh's resolve must be commended, because when many people achieve name and fame, they tend to forget their humble beginnings.
I think the way forward is to treat domestic service as employees - with all the rights and priviliges (as well as responsibilities) we give to employees in the private sector. Which must include, of course, a minimum wage and a decent standard of living.
Because, in a poor coutry like India where there is a great deal of unemployment, many persons are forced to take up domestic service as a livelihood.

I, THE FRUIT OF A FAILED MARRIAGE [SHORT STORY]
I wonder if you have read "The Continent of Circe" by Nirad C. Chaudhuri? He has a lot of very interesting things to say about borders, and about the creation of Bangladesh.

War And Capitalism
I think most nations look after their enlightened self-interest (or what they perceive to be their enligtened self-interest), irrespective of the nature of their political or economic system.

OLD ISSAC'S GOOSE
I read in a book that when Mileva and Albert Einstein separated, he promised her the proceeds from the Nobel prize - even though he hd not yet been nominated for the prize! So certain he was in his mind that he would go on to get it...
