Gujarat Election: BJP Promises To Create Gujarat A $1 Trillion Economy

Sayani ChakrabortyNovember 30, 20220

With the long-awaited release of the BJP's election platform, it's time to take a closer look at the poll-promises fight taking place in the Gujarat assembly elections. With promises to create a Uniform Civil Code, a bill to seize the assets of rioters, a deradicalization cell within the police force, and stringent limitations on religious conversion, the manifesto plays to the Hindutva gallery. That's not just empty talk. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has demonstrated that these kinds of promises resonate with a certain subset of Gujarat voters, and neither the Congress nor the occasional Hindutva-lite excursions by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) have offered an effective response. Despite BJP's seeming dominance in shaping the terms of public debate across sectors, there is one a...

SC Upholding EWS Quota Shows Its Ignorance Of Socio-Economic Fairness And Equality

Sayani ChakrabortyNovember 24, 20220

In 1985, Justice Chinnappa Reddy ruled that quotas should be utilised for equality, not charity. His ruling explains the social justice goals of Indian reservations clearly and movingly. The fact that the judiciary, which had previously rejected such notions of social justice, finally accepted the view of politicians and the majority of Indians regarding the need for vertical reservations in jobs and education to create a truly equal India is a landmark decision that will continue to symbolise this. Consider the Supreme Court's ruling in Janhit Abhiyan v Union of India (2022), which upheld the 103rd amendment in the context of reservations for economically poorer sector (EWS). By upholding the 103rd amendment, the Court implied such reservations are for charity, not parity. All thre...

Arpita SarkarNovember 23, 20220

In his latest dig at Rahul Gandhi, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sharma said the Congress leader's face has changed. He looks more like Saddam Hussein. Himanta Biswa Sarma said, "I told in a television interview a few days ago that there is no problem with Rahul Gandhi's new look. But if you have to change your looks, then at least make it like Vallabhbhai Patel or Jawaharlal Nehru. Even better if you look like Gandhiji, but why do you look more like Saddam Hussein now?"
