Dialogue over conflict
It is shocking and distressing that the conflict between Israel and Iran is widening. If the United States gets involved in it, the possibility of a wider war would be inevitable. Iran should give up its ambition of becoming a nuclear power and Israel must respect the sovereignty of Iran. It is only through diplomacy and dialogue that conflict can be resolved. Not through guns and fire.

Incident in Australia
The bizarre treatment meted out to Gaurav Kundi, a resident of Adelaide (Inside pages, June 16), is an example of barbaric measures undertaken by a law-enforcing agency. There needs to be action taken in consonance with the canons of law.

Sports education
The BCCI has done excellent work in developing the infrastructure and coaching facilities for cricket in India. The IPL has done brilliantly in giving opportunities for young cricketers to showcase their talent. The IPL has also enriched BCCI in a big way, in having a very large corpus of funds. However, India has still to set up world-class universities to train young men and women in the disciplines of sports medicine, sports psychology and counselling, and sports administration. It would be great if the BCCI could think big and set up a world class university in the national interest. Collaboration with a leading university in Australia or the U.S. will ensure the best in this specialised area.
