Governor-State Disputes Are Most Detrimental To Institutions; Read Here

Sayani ChakrabortyOctober 27, 20220

In order to resolve the dispute between the Kerala government and governor Arif Mohammed Khan, the Kerala high court had to step in and block Khan's effort to fire the vice-chancellors of nine state institutions. Khan has yet to sign a law that would limit the governor's authority as chancellor of public colleges. The legislatures of Bengal and TN have already enacted laws that would have made chief ministers, rather than governors, the official chancellors of their respective states. Political interference in academic institutions is central to the problem. When a compliant governor is in charge, there are no issues. This spoils system has been thrown off by aggressive governors appointed by opposing parties, such as Jagdeep Dhankhar in Bengal, RN Ravi in Tamil Nadu, and Khan in Ke...

Indian Rupee Depreciated Or Dollar Appreciated?: An Analysis

Pooja YadavOctober 21, 20220

The finance minister was recently lambasted by opposition parties for saying in the United States that the strengthening of the dollar was to blame for the rupee's decline in value. The US economy is performing better than other economies at a fundamental level. The American employment market has done exceptionally well, and sectors like services have remained resilient despite very high rates of inflation. This has boosted market confidence and allayed worries about things like a decline in the housing market. The value of the Indian rupee to the US dollar is determined by supply and demand. The value of the Indian rupee decreases when demand for US dollars increases and vice versa which is a very basic concept of economics. The demand for the dollar will be larger than th

Collegium And Issue With Court Proceedings: Questions On Mechanism Of Judiciary

Pooja YadavOctober 20, 20220

Justice UU Lalit, when suggested Justice D Chandrachud as his replacement when the mechanism intended for the collegium of the Supreme Court and described in the 1999 Memorandum of Procedure, was put into motion by the present Chief Justice of India (CJI). Because of this, the institution of the "collegium" system, which controls nominations in the higher judiciary, has once again gained attention. The term 'Collegium' refers to a system for the appointment and transfer of judges within India's higher courts that was created as a result of Supreme Court (SC) rulings rather than a statute approved by Parliament or a provision in the Constitution. The collegium has frequently been referred to as an extra-constitutional or unconstitutional group that was established as a result of Sup...

Malnourishment Among Indian Women: A Challenge At Hand After 75 Years Of Independence

Pooja YadavOctober 20, 20220

Among developing nations, India has one of the highest rates of malnourished adult women. Add to it the fact that many new mothers in India are adolescents, 75% of whom are anaemic, and that most gain less weight during pregnancy than is healthy (5 kilograms on average compared to the global average of close to 10 kilograms). Food is not a choice. Eating nutritious meals is essential for survival and growth. The right to food is an essential component of the right to life. Given that 1 in 4 Indian women of reproductive age are underweight, the denial of their right to food frequently has at its root the glaring lack of gender parity. Women and girls live under incredibly harmful gender-based social norms every day, which frequently results in them "eating last, eating last, and eati...

Are Political Parties In Maharashtra Treating Voters Fairly?

Sayani ChakrabortyOctober 19, 20220

The BJP has pulled their candidate from the upcoming by-election in Andheri, Maharashtra. It's the first major election in the state since the MVA administration fell because to infighting within the Shiv Sena. As a result of the BJP's vote, the Uddhav Thackeray faction of Shiv Sena's nominee, Rutuja Latke, is virtually certain of victory. Ramesh Latke, the victor of the last election, has passed away, necessitating a by-election. BJP withdrew their candidate after being publicly lobbied by rival political parties to do so. The reason for this is that it is the political custom in Maharashtra to provide uncontested victories to the surviving relatives of candidates who have passed away. There is a catch here. Among the lawmakers that asked the BJP to withdraw its candidate was Sh...

Sayani ChakrabortyOctober 17, 20220

Decoding Capabilities Of Modi Regime With Regards To J&K’s Frontier Regions In India

Sayani ChakrabortyOctober 12, 20220

The borders represent authority symbolically and geographically. Watchtowers, barbed wire, and fences demonstrate the nation's supremacy. The border determines a state's bounds and people's identity. People on either side of the erstwhile Jammu and Kashmir border have few ties. India and Pakistan's tensions leave border residents in an uncomfortable situation. These people have particular requirements because they face distinct challenges. Along J&K's common border with Pakistan are the IB and the LoC. Since 1947, terrorist acts and cross-border shootings have caused concern. As a result, the economy, agriculture, livelihood, education, etc. suffer. To secure their safety, border residents must increase their 'capability development.' The Indian government is working on sever...
