Vikas DeshwalJuly 25, 20220

Amid the continuing political theatre in Maharashtra, which saw Shinde revolting against the one-time chief minister and Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray, Amit Thackeray said he is not contesting with anyone. As Shiv Sena’s Shiv Sanik Aaditya Thackeray is on a Maharashtra excursion to ensure the future of his party Shiv Sena which is working following the revolution by current CM of Maharashtra Eknath Shinde, his uncle and Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray’s son Amit Thackeray has been silently proceeding around the Maharastra for the last two months in his “Mahasampark Abhiyan” – a request to rebuild a nearly extinct student branch of his group. “My request to youthful boys and girls is that they should enter our student branch as we are the only party, which offe

Transparency International's Corruption Perceptions Index, 2022 places India 85th out of 180 countries. Corruption refers to the destruction, degradation, or ruination of society or the nation.

Congress Steps Towards Oblivion: A Look Back At Party’s Initial Ideologies

Sayani ChakrabortyJuly 23, 20220

The present plight of the Congress party has been worrisome as the party's reputation, power and leadership skills have been denounced and thrown away into the abyss of identity depletion. With every election, the party is losing seats and reputation. Let us look into a brief history and main ideologies and purpose of this national party that once ousted the foreign power from the land of Tiranga. One of India's two main political parties, the Indian National Congress (INC), has a long and distinguished history. AO Hume, or Allan Octavian Hume as it is most often known, created the party in 1885. As one of the world's oldest political parties, it was instrumental in India's war for independence.

Symbolism And Importance Of Political Symbols

Sayani ChakrabortyJuly 23, 20220

A society still reliant on cultural symbols for self-awareness and political expression must find or create and rally behind symbols that convey ideas that are both emotionally and logically charged. Images or cultural symbols that, on the other hand, represent peace and nonviolence would always be appealing to individuals who have a long-term stake in the safety and security of humankind. However, the politicisation of particular symbols as aggressive and ferocious relies on the political ideology of individuals desiring such symbolism. The leaders encourage us to look at symbols of compassion, love, and friendship in the Buddhist tradition as a normative approach. Dhamma chakka, also known as the dhamma chakra, is a Buddhist symbol with deep significance that may guide both the state's u...

Sri Lanka’s Plight Concerns India: Detangling Impacts And Intertwined Areas

Sayani ChakrabortyJuly 22, 20220

India has long been concerned about regional instability. As Sri Lanka's nearest neighbour, India has provided a US$ 3.8 billion credit line of vital products as the economic crisis deteriorated in April. Several efforts have been made to pull India into the political turmoil and depict it as a Rajapaksa backer. During the protests, social media messages linked India to the Rajapaksa dictatorship. The Indian High Commission in Colombo responded on Twitter. The MEA Spokesperson denied these rumours. MEA said India stands with Sri Lankans as they seek prosperity and growth via democratic processes, existing institutions, and constitutional framework. Sri Lankan TV showed a water cannon used on protestors on May 7 and said it was bought using a $1 billion Indian credit line. The Ind...

Indian Parliament: ‘Violence’ And ‘Vocabulary’ Restricted, Severely Reprimanded Here!

Sayani ChakrabortyJuly 20, 20220

Pompous Pradhan aka Dankapati once existed. Over a hundred years, he had brushed off his opponents' taunts with a Teflon-coated shield. He had a habit of returning favours in kind. As a result of the support of media sources, his outbursts were exaggerated and his opponents were demonised. But one day he realised that the two Houses of Parliament were on an equal playing field when it came to name-calling. Meanwhile, adversaries like Jumlajeevi, Vinash purush, tanashah, corrupt, Superspreader, Shakuni, and Jaichand were able to describe him and his henchmen using the most derogatory terms, including "Superspreader". As we all know, the truth is painful. His excellency and his subjects may now be described using a large list of phrases that are forbidden in both Houses. Members of Pa...

Local Elections In Indian Electoral System: An Examination On Obligations

Sayani ChakrabortyJuly 19, 20220

The biggest democracy in the world, India, boasts of its democratic framework and the system of elections that assures the preservation of the people's right to pick a government of their choosing. The fact that elections are a common characteristic of democratic systems across the globe, however, does not mean that they must be completely fair, free, impartial, transparent, and inclusive. On the basis of universal adult suffrage, Indian elections are conducted. Any Indian citizen who is at least 18 years of age is eligible to register as a voter on the country's electoral roll. Reservations are made for women, Scheduled Castes and Tribes, Other Backward Classes, and those from the Scheduled Tribes and Other Backward Classes. The most crucial aspect and condition for allowing the genera...

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...
