...hour motorbike ride along dirt roads south of the town of Dantewada, across rivers where women beat their clothes against rocks and through villages full of thatched and terracotta-roofed huts, scrawny chickens and children with distended bellies (a classic sign of malnutrition), we set off by foot deep into the forested hills...

Of course, it's hard to find people these days who think the price of oil is set to plunge, but a deep recession in the developed world - led by the gas-guzzling U.S. - could lessen demand and drive the price down more sharply than many expect...

He can, no question, come across as a bit cocksure in the rightness of his judgments. But he swims in deep waters. He is convinced, he told me, that in the rich world, "without spiritual values, there is an emptiness that cannot be filled by material goods and wealth." He understands that faith is what gives meaning to the lives of billions, and he passionately believes that the world would...
