Urban Governance: The Area Where India Lags Most

Snehashish RoySeptember 16, 20220

The fact that Bengaluru lacks an elected government significantly worsened the issue as the city experienced severe flooding over the previous week. The state government presently appoints bureaucrats to oversee the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike council because the tenure of the previous elected council ended in 2020. One of the major cities in the globe is Bengaluru. More than eight million people live in the Greater Bengaluru region, which is comparable to the population of Switzerland. The fact that it lacks an elected government is, to put it simply, astonishing and highlights what is likely India's worst governance weakness: a lacklustre, essentially nonexistent autonomous urban governance. What's visible in urban governance? India has 675 million urban residents. This f...

SHIVANI UJJAINWALSeptember 15, 20220

Arvind Kejriwal, the national convenor of the Aam Aadmi Party and the chief minister of Delhi, reacted to the eight Congress MLAs joining the Bharatiya Janata Party on Wednesday by blaming the latter for not being able to protect its MLAs across the nation. “BJP is breaking MLAs by giving crores of rupees to them across the country in the name of Operation Lotus, this is wrong.  But the fault is also of Congress,” Kejriwal said addressing a press conference in the national capital. They could not break our MLAs in Delhi-Punjab because we expose them, but Congress has failed to save its MLAs,” he added.

Jesus Row: Rejection Of TN Temples Likely To Impact Rahul Gandhi’s Campaign

Sayani ChakrabortySeptember 12, 20220

Rahul Gandhi's question, "So, Jesus Christ is a form of God" went viral minutes after chatting with the controversial Christian preacher George Ponniah from Kanniyakumari. After hearing the priest's response—"He's a genuine God... God exposes him as a man, a human person, not like Shakti or this power." There was widespread shock and fury in Congress. It was thought that this exchange was enough to derail the Congress' 'Bharat Jodo Yatra', at least in the northern part of the country. Perhaps Rahul wasn't given enough context before meeting with this controversial, "arrogant" preacher who thought he was the only one who could win over Christian voters in the Kanniyakumari area. Others thought that rather than publicly spectacle himself, he might have asked his Catholic mother Sonia some...

Understanding Complicity Between Colonial State And Subaltern Class

Sayani ChakrabortySeptember 12, 20220

In studies of the experiences of India's poor and disenfranchised in the modern era, historians have often portrayed subalterns and the colonial state as antagonistic. Historians affiliated with the Subaltern Studies Collective were correct in their assessment that subaltern awareness existed outside from or in opposition to colonial modernity and its different institutions. They believed that genuine opposition to western social and political patterns originated in a separate subaltern domain that was unfettered by the colonial authority. That's why they zeroed in on the most spectacular instances of peasant uprising against the zamindar, sahukar and sarkar complex. The subaltern became a symbol of resistance in their hands. However, the history of colonial India is rife with examp...

Don’t Compare Sikh Turban, Kirpan With Hijab, Says Supreme Court: Report Suggests

SHIVANI UJJAINWALSeptember 9, 20220

Comparing people to Sikhs might not be appropriate, according to Justice Hemant Gupta, because the Constitution recognises the right to carry a kirpan. The judge noted, "So don't compare practices." As a five-judge Supreme Court panel ruled that wearing a turban and kirpan is acceptable for Sikhs, the Supreme Court stated on Thursday that there is no connection to be made between the turban and kirpan worn by Sikhs and the hijab. According to news agency ANI, the comments were made as a bench of Justices Hemant Gupta and Sudhanshu Dhulia heard different petitions contesting the Karnataka High Court decision upholding the hijab ban in educational institutions. Advocate Nizamuddin Pasha, who is studying Islam and Arabic and is representing one of the petitioners, attempted to compare

SHIVANI UJJAINWALSeptember 8, 20220

On Thursday, the historic 3 km (1.8 m) long avenue in Delhi, the capital of India, will be reopened by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. It cost about 6 billion rupees ($75 million; £65 million) to renovate the road, which serves as the site of the Republic Day celebrations. It is a component of a broader redevelopment programme that also calls for the construction of a new parliament building and mansions for the vice president and prime minister. Around 200 billion rupees is the estimated cost of the entire project. In order to renovate the area in central Delhi that is home to important government buildings, PM Modi's administration proposed the Central Vista project in 2019. Leaders of the opposition sharply criticised the initiative, citing both aesthetic and budgetary issues. Along
