"India's ruling party ponders leader" from Wall Street Journal

"NEW DELHI - In a nation where government decisions can take years to slink through the bureaucracy, and policy pronouncements often are riddled with jargon and grammatical errors, Palaniappan Chidambaram is an anomaly: He hates delays and he doesn't tolerate typos.

Mr.Chidambaram also is one of the most powerful politicians in India, tapped as home minister- the nation's top domestic- security position- after the November 2008 Mumbai terrorist attacks, following a two-decade career in top economic posts, including minister of finance.

In just over two years, he has formed a broad power base while managing a huge portfolio that includes combating Pakistan-based terrorists and home-grown Maoist rebels, tending to unrest in the disputed Himalayan region of Kashmir, and demanding that Research In Motion Ltd. open its BlackBerry corporate email service to wiretapping."
