Urban Voting Is Low Because Politicians Have Few Middle-Class Promises; Read Here

Sayani ChakrabortyDecember 7, 20220

There were no soft words from the EC. From Shimla to Surat, "urban (voter) indifference persists unabated," it proclaimed on Saturday. The turnout in Shimla was 11% lower than the statewide average of 75.6% in Himachal. The pattern of lower voter turnout in Gujarat's cities compared to the state's rural parts continued in the first round of voting. Urban voter participation in Gujarat's first round was also down from the 2017 average. The city's more affluent residents stayed home during the recent municipal elections. This is an ongoing pattern. A larger proportion of urban residents voted in the first three decades of elections. Inequality in voter participation between urban and rural areas has grown since the 1980s. In India, 60% of GDP and a sizable share of taxes come from urb...

Challenges For India As It Assumes New Position As G-20 President

Sayani ChakrabortyDecember 6, 20220

There were two major conclusions from the recent G-20 summit in Bali, Indonesia. As a major development, India has presided over the G-20 in 2023. This increased Prime Minister Narendra Modi's credibility as an innovator. It is important to note that all of Prime Minister Modi's proposals and remarks made during his talk were prominently mentioned in the final joint declaration, signalling that India's voice can no longer be disregarded. As the two-day summit came to a close, it appeared that the world's leading economies agreed with India's stance on global concerns including the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. To that end, the final conclusion of the G-20 summit chimes with PM Modi's conviction that we are not living in a time of war. In this way, the importance of Indi...

Gujarat Election: BJP Promises To Create Gujarat A $1 Trillion Economy

Sayani ChakrabortyNovember 30, 20220

With the long-awaited release of the BJP's election platform, it's time to take a closer look at the poll-promises fight taking place in the Gujarat assembly elections. With promises to create a Uniform Civil Code, a bill to seize the assets of rioters, a deradicalization cell within the police force, and stringent limitations on religious conversion, the manifesto plays to the Hindutva gallery. That's not just empty talk. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has demonstrated that these kinds of promises resonate with a certain subset of Gujarat voters, and neither the Congress nor the occasional Hindutva-lite excursions by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) have offered an effective response. Despite BJP's seeming dominance in shaping the terms of public debate across sectors, there is one a...

RaviNovember 29, 20220

As the Indian actress Richa Chadha goes on to confront the outrage over her insults at the Indian Army, the BJP has likewise jumped into the matter in order to teach her things that must be esteemed in India. BJP's National representative Sambit Patra, during a press conference, stated that all Indians must reinforce the Indian Army. Still, some of the 'tukde-tukde' group's associates try to libel them and the nation. "I am shocked. There are some subjects in India that no one should have doubts about. Standing with your Army, motivating your Army, believing in your Army, feeling proud of them, feeling proud of India, why being frustrated over this, why feel ashamed over this?" Patra stated. "But it is shocking that there are few tukde-tukde gang members who repeatedly speak against Ind

SC Upholding EWS Quota Shows Its Ignorance Of Socio-Economic Fairness And Equality

Sayani ChakrabortyNovember 24, 20220

In 1985, Justice Chinnappa Reddy ruled that quotas should be utilised for equality, not charity. His ruling explains the social justice goals of Indian reservations clearly and movingly. The fact that the judiciary, which had previously rejected such notions of social justice, finally accepted the view of politicians and the majority of Indians regarding the need for vertical reservations in jobs and education to create a truly equal India is a landmark decision that will continue to symbolise this. Consider the Supreme Court's ruling in Janhit Abhiyan v Union of India (2022), which upheld the 103rd amendment in the context of reservations for economically poorer sector (EWS). By upholding the 103rd amendment, the Court implied such reservations are for charity, not parity. All thre...

European Parliament Condemns Russia, Designates As ‘State Sponsor Of Terrorism’

RaviNovember 24, 20220

On Wednesday, The European Parliament declared Russia as 'a state sponsor of terrorism', contending that its military attacks on civilian targets in Ukraine, such as hospitals, energy infrastructure, sanctuaries, and schools, infringed international law. European legislators voted in support of a resolution labeling Russia as a state sponsor of terrorism. The tactic is basically emblematic as of now, as the European Union doesn't have a legitimate set of policies and systematic processes to support it. Nevertheless, the global alliance has already charged unparalleled sanctions on Russia for its intrusion in Ukraine. Moscow, the capital of Russia, responded furiously to the European Parliament's judgment. "I propose designating the European Parliament as a sponsor of idiocy,"

Amit Shah Takes A Jibe At Congress; Says, ‘Tribal Communities Firmly Stands With BJP’

RaviNovember 22, 20220

On Sunday, Union Home Minister Amit Shah stated the tribal communities of India persistently stand with BJP. While addressing a public rally at Dediapada in South Gujarat, Amit Shah remarked, "Previous Congress governments did not work nearly as much in decades as Modi-ji for the empowerment of our tribal communities. This is why our tribal brothers and sisters today stand firmly with the BJP." Amit Shah further denounced Congress for 'deluding' the people of India. "There is a BJP government in Gujarat since 1990 and the Congress is saying that the work of the Congress speaks for itself. What work is it talking about when it has not been in power in the state since 1990? The Congress misleads people. A party, which has not been in power for ages, has no work to boast of. It should

PM Modi Opens Up On Narmada Protest, Takes A Jibe At Rahul Gandhi & Activist Medha Patkar

RaviNovember 21, 20220

Recently PM Modi took a jab at Rahul Gandhi for participating in a march with activist Medha Patkar during 'Bharat Jodo Yatra.' Modi's main concern was their campaign that was held against the Narmada dam project, which he stated had been Gujarat's lifeline. While addressing a rally in the Rajkot district of Gujarat during the state elections, PM Modi stated, "a Congress leader was seen taking out a padyatra with a woman who stalled the Narmada dam project for three decades." PM Modi communicated that the Sardar Sarovar Dam construction project over the Narmada river was delayed for around three decades due to legal encumbrances by activists like Medha Patkar. He further blamed Medha Patkar for slandering Gujarat. "Ask the Congress when it comes to demand your vote that you ar

No Support, Shashi Tharoor Still ‘Outsider’ For Congress In Kerala: Deets Inside!!!

SHIVANI UJJAINWALNovember 21, 20220

Shashi Tharoor has also irked a sizable contingent of state leaders. If the suggestions from the party about his possibilities if he runs for the AICC president seat are any indication, Thiruvananthapuram MP Shashi Tharoor, a former diplomat-turned-politician, still remains an "outsider" within the Kerala branch of the Congress. While the majority of Congressmen preferred to criticise Tharoor in private, senior Congressman K Muraleedharan, who has been travelling with Rahul Gandhi around the padayatra, told TNIE that only the official candidate would receive the support of the state's leadership. “Tharoor has neither sought the support of the state Congress leadership nor held any talks with the stakeholders here. This reveals the lack of support he has from the state unit,” said Mu
