The two engine has two different metaphorical attribution. One is motivated by the need to accumulate private money through technology and market tricks, while the other is motivated by the desire to induce a soporific coma in the public consciousness with respect to the lived realities of the day, despite the fact that the two engines go in different directions. The president of the governing Bharatiya Janata Party in Himachal Pradesh has, as expected, once again issued the promise of a "double engine ki sarkar" (two-engined administration) to woo voters ahead of the state assembly elections. In spite of the right-wing appeal of this metaphor, it has surprisingly escaped the scrutiny it deserves despite having been around for quite some time. The most glaring problem is that this g...

Sayani ChakrabortyAugust 23, 20220

Politics cynicism is rising. The public has witnessed countless reenactments of "Operation Kamal," so instances of obvious and merciless displays of money or power are plentiful. When Bihar struck on August 9, 2022, Jharkhand was suspected. Nitish Kumar resigned the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance in 2013. (NDA). Kumar resigned from the NDA on May 18, 2014, citing ideological concerns after the Lok Sabha election defeat. In June 2015, he formed the Mahagathbandhan with RJD and Congress (grand alliance). Mahagathbandhan won the assembly elections, and Kumar and Tejashwi Yadav took power. After two years, Kumar resigned again. The BJP supported the governor within hours, and he entered office the following day. The NDA won the 2019 Lok Sabha elections after establishing a government ...

Sayani ChakrabortyAugust 23, 20220

The long-awaited Electricity Amendment Bill 2022 was tabled in Parliament (Lok Sabha) on August 8, 2022, despite opposition from political parties, employees, and engineers of state-run distribution companies. (DisComs). The bill was referred to the House Energy and Commerce Committee for further feedback. The right side of the markets debate views this measure as a reformist solution to fix India's electrical system, which has suffered for four decades despite reforms owing to distribution companies' poor financial health, operational inefficiencies, and large AT&C losses. The economics and politics of India's 'grid' must be investigated to understand opposition to planned modifications to the Electricity Act 2003. The federal government and states control India's electrical bu...

Election 2024: Congress Needs To Find Sonia Gandhi’s Successor Soon To Be More Serious In Political Battle

Sayani ChakrabortyAugust 22, 20220

The election of a new Congress president began yesterday, and if all goes according to plan, the party will choose Sonia Gandhi's successor by September 20. Many things have changed politically in the nation since she became president of Congress in 1998. Her leadership has previously kept up with the changes, but she has been unable to properly refashion it for a BJP-dominated political scene. The fact that Congress hasn't been able to win any state elections since Sonia became president for a second time in 2019 is indicative of this. After Rahul's disastrous 2019 election season, in which the BJP came dangerously near to matching the Congress party's 1989 vote total, she returned to her former post. Sad to say, Rahul's repeated expressions of apathy have dampened the party's call...

Sayani ChakrabortyAugust 22, 20220

There has been a tremendous increase in the value of cryptocurrencies over the last few years, and the market size of cryptocurrency is projected to expand to more than $1080 million by 2026. Since then, this innovation has skyrocketed and gained widespread interest. To date (2021), 97% of global tyre users have indicated trust in and optimism about the digital asset.

Since 2013, the market for cryptocurrencies has grown by more than 90%, and there are now more than 4000 different kinds of cryp...

Threats To Future Of Handloom Industry And Indian Heritage

Sayani ChakrabortyAugust 18, 20220

English artisans resisted the widespread adoption of mechanisation at the turn of the nineteenth century out of concern that they would be rendered obsolete. This event is known as the Luddite uprising. Since then, handicrafts like weaving have been threatened by the rise of the machine age. Every Bengali child born in the 20th century has memorised Rabindranath Tagore's folk-rhyme "The house of the weaver, turned into the house of frogs; Eating, singing happily ever, The tadpoles of croaking frogs," which eloquently depicts the plight of the handloom weavers (Tanti in Bengali). The song describes how handlooms became extinct with the invention of the power loom. The weavers had given up their jobs. Due of the lack of handloom, their workplace has turned into a frog breeding ground. ...

Opposition Abandons All Hope Of Defeating Modi Almost Halfway To 2024

Sayani ChakrabortyAugust 18, 20220

The present political opposition in India needs even a sliver of this famous quote to be successful. It's hard to discern whether the opposition's demise was due to ineptitude or the government's pro-people measures. Weak political opposition is bad for democracies, but in this instance, it's the opposition's lack of interest in the people. Speculation abounds over whether the opposition parties would challenge Mr. Modi and his party in 2024. The fact that this topic is being raised two years before the next general election shows the opposition parties' instability. They should respect voters' will. The concerns are more important because the BJP, despite being in office for eight years, continues to bat first, which the opposition should do. The opposition has corruption charge...

It’s Maha Time: Next Important Test For BJP-Shinde Will Be Municipal Elections

Sayani ChakrabortyAugust 17, 20220

It took six weeks of discussions, but the BJP has secured crucial positions in Maharashtra's newly expanded government. Though nine ministers were sworn in from both parties, the BJP has received the more prestigious ministries due to its larger majority in the legislature. Devendra Fadnavis, the state of Maharashtra's deputy chief minister, is a strong figure in the state's government. As most of the BJP's portfolios were handled by NCP and Congress in the MVA government, the 40-MLA Eknath Shinde faction might take solace in the fact that a certain equilibrium continues. However, the Shiv Sena has been weakened and fractured as a result of their continued time in office. There will be grumbling even within the BJP, as most ministers have been given far smaller portfolios than th...

Economy, Corruption, Politics And The Path Towards New India

Sayani ChakrabortyAugust 17, 20220

Recent weeks have demonstrated how "family first," "corruption first," and "freebies first" policies have wreaked havoc on economies in and around India, most notably Sri Lanka. Without naming any one state, political party, or individual, Prime Minister Modi sounded a note of caution about the dangers of populism and quick fixes in politics. In the past, many notable people and organizations, including the United States Supreme Court, have offered their thoughts on this topic. Instead of a "free for all" approach, which is unfair to the most deprived and perhaps nothing more than a gimmick because usually such schemes can never be implemented or sustained for a long time, any competent administrator would support the idea of ensuring that his or her government ensures targeted, foolpro...
