Volker Perthes, director of the German Institute for International and Security Affairs, an independent think tank, says the photos - and the response to them - demonstrate how unprepared Germany has been to find itself in a far more violent and unpredictable conflict than...

For much of their 138-year history, the Tata family companies were the heart of India's insular business establishment - the last business group you'd have turned to for radical thinking, or owning anything abroad.
