It was odd that, despite Congress' strained relations, the other opposition parties remained silent or designated themselves as "like-minded" groups. After two years in office, Narendra Modi's second term is coming to a conclusion. Second, Rajiv Gandhi's assassination has been 30 years ago. Time to look at the political futures of India's two main political parties, which will both be celebrating their 100th birthdays in the summer of 2024. Our focus is on the present, and we won't linger on the past. The past may not always give the best indicator of the future in both mutual fund investing and politics. All non-Congress opposition parties with more than a 1% vote share don't sum up to 20% of the total vote, which was the Congress's total. This is true even for UPA allies like DMK and ...

Blowing winds of change in BJP. Will the party see a change in it’s policies?
1 / 2How has the recent statements of Nupur Sharma and Naveen Kumar Jindal created problems for the party? Never had BJP found the Muslim world breathing down its neck so hard than in the past few days. It started with Qatar handing over an official note to the Indian Ambassador Dr. Deepak Mittal and expressed anger over the comments on Prophet Muhammad in TV by Nupur Sharma. In chain reaction more countries from the Islamic regions from UAE, Kuwait to Indonesia joined in the protest. As the day passed it got more embarrassing for BJP to handle the fresh crisis. We are aware while during one TV debate Nupur Sharma made an overboard statement about the Prophet Muhammad sahab. Although in her defense she admitted her mistake. In her defence she commented, "it is a natural reaction agai...

As a consequence of Nitish Kumar's disobedience of his party leader and Union minister R.C.P. Singh about a Rajya Sabha seat, the BJP-Janata Dal (U) alliance in Bihar has been placed into a state of tension and doubt. This has caused the coalition to be in a position of uncertainty. Nitish Kumar's activities have directly contributed to the growth of tension and uncertainty in Bihar as a direct consequence of the fact that both parties in the state are vying to create an alliance government as quickly as possible. Because of what has transpired, Singh will be obliged to step down from the position he now holds. On the other hand, Mr. Kumar's choice to turn down Mr. Singh's application for the office of Union minister is more than just an oversight on his part. It is quite permiss...

Read MoreIf I Speak Hindi, I Will Become A Slave: DMK Leader TKS Elangovan
Forcing the people of the southern states to speak Hindi means imposing 'Manudharma' on them. The remarks came in the wake of remarks made by Union Home Minister Amit Shah on behalf of Hindi on the issue of "One Country One Language", a leader of the ruling DMK in Tamil Nadu. His question is, even though Hindi is not the mother tongue, what will happen if Bengali, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and Maharashtra are developed states, but still developing states use the mother tongue of Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, and Bihar? Opposing the argument that increasing the use of Hindi would increase employment opportunities, the DMK leader quipped, "Hindi is spoken in places where people sell Panipuri." I will end up as a Shudra, that is, a slave." Shah recently questioned the use of Hindi as the...

Read MoreAt a time when the country is embroiled in a heated debate over the genocide of Kashmiri Hindus in 'Kashmir Ghati'. It also happened before, in 1990, but it has increased since the repeal of Article 370. It's time to ask: Why do we see such hostile behavior toward people who speak out about Hindu persecution and violence? Why are there so many attempts to whitewash the brutal killings that Hindus have faced and continue to face simply because they are Hindus? In such a situation, it is not wrong to worry about the safety of Hindus in Kashmir as their lives are in danger. Since the time of the Independence of India, Kashmir has been embroiled in a conflict fuelled by colonialism. It includes issues related to geographical boundaries, socio-religious, and terrorism. A small portion of th...
Read MoreThe criminalization of politics entails criminals participating in politics, which includes criminals running for office and being elected to the Parliament and state legislatures. It occurs primarily as a result of the link between politicians and criminals. The rate of crime in today's world is increasing every day. Crime occurs in various forms, but it affects the entire society as well. The crime is committed by one person, but it affects all people. Politicians are cunning, crooks, and deceivers; if you hear this line from the common public, it is not surprising. Despite this, the same people give their vote and support to these crooked leaders. People don't understand this thing that they are 'vote banks' of any political party and leaders use them only for voting purposes. Accordi
Read MoreThe history of India has been rooted in morality and virtue, but today we are living in a country where politicians openly misuse their power. We are well aware of how money-related scams have badly affected every part of this nation. Politicians do not understand that such incidents promote mistrust among the people, render policies ineffective, and undermine the integrity of the country by jeopardizing its democratic system of the country. Money laundering is the process of concealing or masking the source of unlawfully obtained funds so that they appear to come from legitimate sources. It's often linked to much more serious crimes like drug trafficking, robbery, or extortion. The Indian Monetary Fund (IMF) has claimed that global money laundering is estimated to be between 2% ...
