Satellites Catch China Bombing Japanese Aircraft: A Showcase Of Dragon’s Missile Power?

Vikas DeshwalJuly 18, 20220

A report said that the area is considered under Chinese army control, and several things resembling US warships have also been noticed there. It might have been used to practice missile strike training on debatable targets in Japan.  Many reports said that satellite images taken of the same area in mid-May showed an object that resembled an E-767 aircraft of the Tokyo Air Force.  The fighter jet is an airborne warning and control system (AWACS) of the country's Air Force. The new photo, taken on July 13, shows the object's destruction, debris, and black burn marks.  As of July 2, the thing was still visible in previous satellite pics, the report states. The exact timing of the event is fuzzy due to the weather, making it difficult to take images on some days. However, it looks like t

Nation Seeks Clarity From Indian Court Over Court Judgement On Zakia Ahsan Jafri

Sayani ChakrabortyJuly 15, 20220

More than 450 pages of "annexures" are included in the Supreme Court of India's ruling in Zakia Ahsan Jafri v State of Gujarat (2022). For those who don't know what they're looking at, it would appear like Narendra Modi and Amit Shah were acquitted after a lengthy trial in which they were charged with crimes against humanity. It's not, unfortunately. It is, ironically, putting together all the facts and evidence to prove that these two political leaders do not need to face any criminal charges. When the Court dismissed the necessity to look into the circumstances behind Judge Brijgopal Harkishan Loya's death, it used the same manoeuvre (Tehseen Poonawalla v Union of India [2018]). In both the Loya and Jafri cases, the petition was to begin an inquiry rather than to reach a conclusion on...

Palaniswami Outsmarts Panneerselvam? A Cult Leader Likely To Win Next Election As Per AIADMK

Sayani ChakrabortyJuly 15, 20220

Edappadi K Palaniswami seized leadership of AIADMK and expelled O Panneerselvam after an unusual experiment in Indian politics: a party jointly governed by two leaders. The partnership between EPS and OPS was first established in 2017 and has been going strong ever since. As the chief minister of Tamil Nadu and a co-convener of the AIADMK, EPS and OPS worked together to remove an imprisoned VK Sasikala. A four-year prison sentence that began in February 2017 snatched control of the party from her hands after Jayalalithaa's death in 2016. AIADMK's tumultuous history is unique in Indian politics. Sasikala has a soft spot for OPS and EPS in her music collection at one point or another. Even though OPS is now in disgrace, she had already chosen him as her successor on two previous times...

Digging Deep To Dissect The Colossal Chaos In Maharashtra

Sayani ChakrabortyJuly 15, 20220

The BJP-Shiv Sena combo won India's 2019 parliamentary and Maharashtra state legislature elections. Every seat has a poster of Narendra Modi or Devendra Fadnavis. Both parties' candidates lauded the double-engine sarkar's quick expansion, iron-fisted law and order, and focus on Hindu nationalism. Even Uddhav Thackeray attended rallies where the BJP's national leadership promised that Modi and Fadnavis will rule the government if Maharashtra was re-elected. Sharad Pawar, Sonia Gandhi, and Sanjay Raut urged Uddhav Thackeray to forge an artificial coalition with the NCP and Congress. Thackeray's NCP and Congress allies rapidly took control, leaving Thackeray and his son Aaditya as bystanders. Maharashtra had three years of NCP-Congress governance before 2014, and it saw frequent ter...

Japan Considers Changing Constitution: A Pandora’s Box To Be Unleashed

Vikas DeshwalJuly 13, 20220

Japan's ruling party, led by Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and its alliance partner, scored a significant victory in a recent election. At a press conference on Monday, Kishida said that he wants a smooth parliamentary debate in the short moment over four constitutional amendments suggested by the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), including writing the amendment for Self-Defence Forces into article 9 of the Constitution. Many experts think the barriers for Tokyo to change its Constitution have been cleared, and the likelihood of constitutional changes is more than ever before. The current Constitution of Japan was implemented in 1947, and its ninth article clearly stated that "land, sea, and air forces, and another war potential, will never be formed" and "the right of the belligerence o

Snehashish RoyJuly 12, 20220

The Assam government has recently officially identified five sub-groups of Muslims in Assam, namely, Moriya, Goriya, Deshi, Julha and Syed as indigenous.

Pooja YadavJuly 12, 20220

India could be a great country filled with diversities of several types. People profession different religions and have different modes of worship, speak different languages, wear different dressed, and have different eating habits board it. But in spite of this fascinating diversity, there certainly runs through them an explicit thread of unity. This unity in diversity is clear to any intelligent observer in every nook and corner of the country.

Secularism means non-interference within the religious affairs of any community and equal respect for all religions. Under the Constitution of India, everybody is absolved to practice the faith o...

Vikas DeshwalJuly 12, 20220

Three states and as many Union Territories talked about the problems of river water sharing, the safety and development of women empowerment, arranging fast-track courts, cyber security and the issue of building up rural banking with union Home Minister Amit Shah during an assembly of the Northern Zonal Council in Jaipur on Saturday.

UK Loses Its Global Hegemony Amid Internal Politics; What’s Its Way Forward?

Vikas DeshwalJuly 12, 20220

  UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced his resignation last week. The country could enter a period without a long-term prime minister, as the UK has broken down to find a way to retain its national power from reducing after Brexit. No leader can effectively fix the UK's internal separation while seeking to use the Russian-Ukraine crisis as an opportunity to maintain the country's global influence, which has proved insufficient for England to solve its internal crisis, as experts said on Monday, as many leaders jostle to replace Boris Johnson in a stuff race.   Conservative members of parliament are rising to put their identity forward in the competition to triumph Boris Johnson as Conservative leader and prime minister. A schedule for the Tory leadership competition is due to

Deal Or Dialogue: Democracy Is On The Verge Of Collapsing, Who Is To Blame In Politics?

Sayani ChakrabortyJuly 11, 20220

Defections from Maha Vikas Aghadi or the Great Development Front coalition government have been widely seen as a sign of self-interest by those who defected from them. It has always been difficult to determine who is to blame in politics based on the diversity of group/sectional interests. The solution to this critical issue may be summarised thusly: Both of them are to blame. However, their flaws vary in kind. There's an ethical obligation on major political parties, for example, to align their policies with constitutional ideals, party programmes, and the backing of smaller political groupings. In order to improve the country's image abroad, it is incumbent upon a party with significant numbers and financial clout to put together a government that adheres to fundamental democratic ideals...
