Is Rahul Gandhi Simply Following In Footsteps Of PM Modi?

Sayani ChakrabortyMarch 7, 20230

On January 30, Congress president Rahul Gandhi completed his Bharat Jodo Yatra (BJY) in Srinagar. He was satisfied after five months. After walking nearly 4,000 kilometres, the final ceremony in Srinagar had to go smoothly despite the bitter cold and snow. He was happy to play snowballs or sheen mubarak with his sister Priyanka. He originally planned to end his Ekta Yatra at Raj Ghat, but the day before he decided to hoist the national flag at Lal Chowk, like Dr. Murli Manohar Joshi and PM Narendra Modi did in 1992. Rahul Gandhi waved the flag at Lal Chowk after dismissing it as a BJP-RSS stronghold, resembling Modi twenty years earlier. In December 1991, during the height of J&K terrorism, Modi organised Dr. Murli Manohar Joshi's Ekta Yatra from Kanyakumari to Kashmir. After...

Sayani ChakrabortyMarch 7, 20230

How to mitigate the harmful effects of disinformation spread via social media. Learn from Tamil Nadu's example. The state apparatus lost no time in responding to the rumor-mongering that migrants from north India in TN had endured "attacks" when the video message initially surfaced in Bihar streams. In direct contacts with migrants and also on social media, the CM, ministers, police, and governor, and industry staged a rapid and strong reaction to quash the rumours and ensure Hindi-speaking migrants of their safety in TN. In response to a tweet from the Bihar chief minister expressing worry about news coverage of the incident, TN police said unequivocally that both video messages were staged (one was an earlier grab of two locals fighting, the other, also dated, was of two migrant g...

SHIVANI UJJAINWALMarch 7, 20230

He stated, "After 75 years of Independence, someone changed the face of government schools so that poor kids could get the same education as rich kids and that person was Manish

The Rationale Behind Naming India’s Public Parks After Its Diverse Flora And Fauna Instead Of Historical Figures

Sayani ChakrabortyMarch 3, 20230

What if, instead of naming our public areas after kings, netas, and nobles of varying types, we looked to India's incredibly rich flora and fauna, its magnificent rivers, and its majestic mountains? A public interest litigation (PIL) seeking a renaming commission focused on "ancient India" was properly dismissed by the Supreme Court. India, however, need a fresh approach to naming that is not constrained by any one particular interpretation of the country's troubled past. The urban population share is projected to rise to 50% by 2050, with an increase of 416 million people to urban areas. That calls for a massive investment in new facilities. Whenever anything new is built or a new street or plaza is created, it naturally requires a new name. Without a new approach to names, this pr...

J&K’s Elections On Hold: Politics Is An Integral Component Of The Solution To Targeted Killings

Sayani ChakrabortyMarch 3, 20230

Assaults on civilians have begun in Jammu and Kashmir, and another Kashmiri Pandit has been murdered. Those seen as government allies, including Kashmiri Pandits, non-Kashmiri migrant workers, and locals, were killed in a terrorist rampage last year. Targeted assassinations are a disturbing reminder of what still haunts Kashmir, even if the J&K police had termed 2022 a successful year of anti-terror operations (172 terrorists were neutralized). Tragically, due to the frustration of terrorists and their Pakistani sponsors with the success of the combined security system and the government of India's (GoI) focus on the relocation and jobs project for the community, Kashmiri Pandits are once again prominent terror targets. After Article 370's repeal in 2019, it helped maintain a re...

Multilateralism Is In Crisis Today, Says PM Modi In A Video Message At G20 Meeting: Deets Inside!

SHIVANI UJJAINWALMarch 3, 20230

According to the prime minister, recent financial crises, climatic change, pandemics, terrorism, and wars have demonstrated how inadequate global governance has been at fulfilling its two main objectives. The G20 Foreign Ministers' conference began off on Thursday at Rashtrapati Bhavan with a video message by Prime Minister Narendra Modi where he highlighted the need for 'unity of purpose' as well as 'unity of action' at a time when "multilateralism" is in a condition of "crisis". The financial crises, climate change, pandemic, terrorism, and wars of the past few years, he claimed, have demonstrated unequivocally that global governance has failed in both of its goals. “We must also admit that the tragic consequences of this failure are being faced most by developing countries”.

Manish Sisodia Moves Supreme Court Challenging Arrest By CBI In Delhi Liquor Policy Case: Checkout Deets!!!

SHIVANI UJJAINWALFebruary 28, 20230

Today the SC, the appeal for an urgent hearing is probably going to be raised. Manish Sisodia, the leader of the Aam Aadmi Party and deputy chief minister of Delhi, has filed a lawsuit in the Supreme Court contesting the CBI's decision to arrest him in connection with the Delhi liquor policy issue. It also stated that the petition for an urgent hearing will likely be considered in the SC today.

The investigating agency asserted that the policy, which reportedly served to favour those with connections to the AAP, had flaws in b

Recent Online Ruckus Between IAS And IPS Officers Reveals A Bigger, Alarming Trend; Read Here

Sayani ChakrabortyFebruary 27, 20230

Since hostile online interactions are the norm these days, it takes something extraordinary to catch our attention—and what IPS officer D Roopa and IAS officer Rohini Sindhuri have served up is something truly shocking. The conflict between the two senior women bureaucrats in Karnataka has been so public, ugly, and embarrassing that it has even affected the state administration. Opponents have sought to portray this disorderly brawl as evidence of a weak government in the midst of an intense election season. Both cops were swapped out yesterday in a move that appears to be a counter. What this shocking conflict has shown, however, is a bigger, troubling shift in the culture of civil service brought about by engagement in social media. There are 22% less IAS officers in the countr...

Congress’ 2024 Alliance-Building Will Be Shaped By Nine Assembly Elections This Year

Sayani ChakrabortyFebruary 27, 20230

The Congress party's likely strategy for the Lok Sabha election of 2024 was made clearer at the party's plenary session held in Raipur. For the year 2024 in particular, its strategy for establishing partnerships has become crystal clear. By stating that a third front would help the NDA, Congress effectively conceded the lead to the BJP. Concern about a third front can be understood as a metaphor for the current state of politics. South and east Indian regional parties are extremely powerful in state politics. As an example, all of Andhra Pradesh's 25 seats in the 2019 LS election were won by regional parties. Most importantly, no political faction will give up ground voluntarily. On a national scale, alliances may also be forged after the election. Because defending their state's...

Adiba GhausFebruary 24, 20230

Fracas started at the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) House session between BJP & AAP members.

In India, Anarchy Is Inevitable When Armed Civilians Are Given Police Powers

Sayani ChakrabortyFebruary 24, 20230

After the bodies of two Muslim men were found inside an SUV that had been set on fire in Bhiwani, Haryana, the previous week, their families have made serious allegations against the local police force. The two men were beaten up by members of the Bajrang Dal because they were suspected of smuggling cows, but it is alleged that police in Haryana witnessed the incident and assisted the men in getting across the border from Bharatpur, which is located in the state of Rajasthan. It is not the question of whether or whether the law was breached that is at issue in this instance; rather, it is about how much latitude police allowed non-state actors to engage in cruel vigilante action in the name of the Haryana Gauvansh Sanrakshan and Gausamvardhan Act, which was passed in 2015.
