Will new masters make the right moves?

Will we see more innovations or have we already reached the dead end? Luckily, the first signs have been positive: the transfer of power has been smooth, swift and sweet; the acrimony of the last three years was also swept aside and Sharad Pawar and Jagmohan Dalmiya even smiled at each other, even as older foes cheered on. We, of course, don’t know if it is just the ominous lull before a storm; we can’t even say if Dalmiya will really be forgiven for his trespasses or if the all-out attacks against him will be forgotten quickly enough. Indeed, it is not yet clear if a new power-equation is already emerging... to clip Lalit Modi’s wings.
