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

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...

Unseen War Between Israel And Iran: One Of Many Disputes In Middle-East

Vikas DeshwalJuly 9, 20220

Of the many disputes in the Middle East, the one between Israel and Iran is the most undesirable explosive. Leaders of Iran oath to destroy Israel and are distrusted of tracking nuclear weapons that would back the warning. Israel, believed to have such deadly arms, has done whatever it takes to prevent Iran from gaining them. For years, the two have been unavailable in an unseen war, quietly striking each other ­on land, by air and at sea. They have mainly to avoid open fights that would risk an upsurge to all-out war, But lately, the argument has become more remarkable. An Iranian army official said Israel was likely behind an Oct. 26 cyber attack on gas stations in Iran nationwide. What Is The Reason Behind The Dispute Between Israel And Iran?

Vikas DeshwalJuly 8, 20220

India's Tejas light combat aircraft has appeared as the first option for Southeast Malaysia to replace its fading fleet of fighter jets. The Chairman and MD of HAL, R Madhavan, said to the reporters that Malaysia has smalled down on the LAC Tejas notwithstanding the tough competition from China's JF-17 jet, South Korea's FA-50, and Malaysia has narrowed down on the Indian aircraft notwithstanding the stiff competition from Russia's Mig-35 as well as Yak-130, China's JF-17 jet and South Korea's FA 50.  India has provided to put up an MRO (Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul) facility in Malaysia for its Russian-origin Su-30 fighter fleet as it is facing difficulties in getting spares for the aircraft from Moscow, given western sanctions against Russia.

Watch Out For Boris: Change In UK’s Leadership Has No Bearing On International Politics

Sayani ChakrabortyJuly 8, 20220

Following a slew of controversies, Boris' own party eventually decided it had had enough of all the loud theatre and decided to skip the performance. Boris Johnson stepped down as thr Prime Minister of the UK and leader of the Conservative Party yesterday, following in the footsteps of many other prominent cabinet members who had already quit. His party will now vote for a new leader, and the country will perhaps look forward to more policy stability about important problems. A change in leadership in the United Kingdom, however, is both interesting and of little relevance given the country's little impact on the political landscape of the rest of the world. It is a fascinating morality tale that has ramifications for other democracies to see how a leader who led his party to its...

Why Twitter Reached Karnataka High Court Against The Government of India Once Again?

Gunjan ChaudharyJuly 6, 20220

Micro-blogging platform Twitter has approached the Karnataka High Court on some orders of the Government of India. Twitter has expressed its inability to comply with some orders issued by the government in June this year and has sought direction from the court in the matter. After this move of Twitter, it is believed that the dispute between the government and the social media company may increase once again. In fact, since the introduction of new IT rules, the central government has been continuously warning these companies to work within the purview of the law. However, the government continues to face off with Twitter over several rules. What is the latest controversy? In June, the central government ordered Twitter to remove some content. This order was given under the new IT Act. Tw

Bulldozer-Led Demolitions Among India’s Extralegal Penalties; Risk To Losing Public Confidence

Sayani ChakrabortyJuly 6, 20220

Modern jurisprudence holds that sanctions should fit the offence and that criminality is influenced by society. A court system that ignores current jurisprudence risks losing legitimacy and public confidence. A political perspective of the judicial system would also reflect public opinion, mass media, and the demands of dominant political parties and economic elites. This fused political system affects India's rule of law. The police and courts, the municipal corporation and civil administration, the media, and the universities have little to no operational independence. A political apparatus makes the rule of law more arbitrary. The arbitrariness of India's politicised judicial and civil systems may be seen in the rising use of bulldozer-led demolitions as extralegal penalties. ...

Poor Design, Role Of FPOs Effects Food Security; Lacks Clarity, Raises Serious Questions

Pooja YadavJuly 4, 20220

To make any policy work better in an expected way, it is very important to have a specified and well-structured design then only one can expect a success rate. However, when it comes to farmers' bills and their design and the poor role of Farmers Producer Organisation (FPO), a collective approach is required. When the concept of FPO was introduced, the makers forgot to clarify certain terms and reliability and what it actually explains. for example flaw within the farmer's Act and FPOs is that basic aspects of contract farming like acreage, quantity, and time of delivery aren't specified which is mandatory for any law regulating it as these constitute the building blocks of the activity that's being legislated. the govt advertisement claims that farmer can withdraw from contract arrange...
