Russia-Ukraine Tensions: India Suggests Peaceful Solution

Pooja YadavFebruary 22, 20220

India is trying to opt for a balanced and preventive approach in the ongoing Russia-Ukraine crisis. Earlier, India remained silent and was appealing to sort out the differences between the countries peacefully in the international community. On January 30, 2022, India abstained from voting in UNSC when the US demanded the Russia-Ukraine crisis discussion. India neither voted in favour of it nor against it. The response, however, was not surprising for many experts as in 2014 when Russia attacked Crimea, India abstained from voting in UNSC on the resolution passed by the US. The country had passed a resolution against Russia in the UNSC. Russia took India's step as a pro-Russian view. India boycotted the Winter Olympics in China where Russia aimed to promote its views on Ukrai...

AAP Hits Ground For Poll Battle: Can Arvind Kejriwal Emerge As BJP Alternative Nationally?

Monomita NagFebruary 21, 20220

Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal's AAP is in a poll battle in three states Punjab, Uttarkhand and Goa. Hence, this is perhaps his biggest effort to spread the footprints of his party in a couple of states. Can people see it as an alternative to BJP at the national level in future? There has been an abysmal fall of Congress and it has become a fringe player in almost all the states except a very few. As long as it is unable to bring to fore a popular and acceptable leader, it will continue to shrink further. Hence, Kejriwal can fill the vacuum if he can notch a success in the 2022 elections and he will be able to establish himself as a significant political force in the country. His success will give the message that the Opposition to BJP is a  young, agile leader. He is already ...

Mamata And Nephew Fall-Out May Create Setback For TMC In National Expansion

Monomita NagFebruary 21, 20220

There is a growing rift between Mamata Banerjee, the CM of West Bengal and her anointed successor and number 2 in the party hierarchy, her nephew Abhishek Banerjee. Her displeasure was quite clear when she made a very important statement at the airport while leaving for Lucknow that she would not go to Goa to campaign for the election, as somebody was already doing that. This harmless word 'somebody' indicated that everything in Goa now has to be handled by Abhishek independently, and she had withdrawn herself from there completely.  But it is well known that TMC is running a high decibel poll campaign there as a part of its national expansion programme. It is understood that, of late, her nephew opposed certain decisions of Mamata and also tried to chalk out a new plan for the p...

Monomita NagFebruary 20, 20220

Indian students studying medicine in China are facing a queer problem. They can study medicine but cannot practise practicals that are indispensable in medical education. This is because China had banned visas for foreign students studying there in view of the COVID-19 pandemic. It is estimated that this visa ban has affected about 23,000 Indian students who had enrolled themselves to study medicine before the pandemic.
