‘The Show Must Go On’ Says China As Sri Lanka Engulfs In Political Anarchy

Agamapar ChadhaJuly 16, 20220

As many have quoted, the Chinese' debt trap' may have led to China axing their leg as Sri Lanka collapses and gets quagmired in political and economic free fall. The Rajapaksa brotherhood that ran the country Gotabaya and Mahindra Rajapaksa, subsequent former president and later prime minister, have backed multiple projects by China for the last two decades like the Lotus tower, for example. China has also commanded some Hambantota ports for almost a century. China's main interest is to undermine and control strategic locations in Asia to undermine India and any Western allies in the region. Using an island nation on the coast of their belligerent gives China more autonomy over the area. However, the effect and tensions of these moves seem to unfurl with the Rajapaksa brotherhood ma...

Agamapar ChadhaJuly 16, 20220

Germany is the most prosperous country in the EU, known for its efficient working class and job opportunities for students. It is a haven for young and talented individuals to harbour their ideas, inventions and developments. But this dream is a nightmare for Germans who, with age, grow weary and naturally become unable to support the economy. The retired German struggles to make ends meet as they are cast off financially like dried-out branches, living on the outskirts of the major cities with no sense of dignity when they pick up bottles to get paid a few cents if they are lucky. N.G.O. organisations and other charitable support groups are their only source for getting aid. The Federal Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs reported that 48% of German retirees, i.e. more than 8....

Nation Seeks Clarity From Indian Court Over Court Judgement On Zakia Ahsan Jafri

Sayani ChakrabortyJuly 15, 20220

More than 450 pages of "annexures" are included in the Supreme Court of India's ruling in Zakia Ahsan Jafri v State of Gujarat (2022). For those who don't know what they're looking at, it would appear like Narendra Modi and Amit Shah were acquitted after a lengthy trial in which they were charged with crimes against humanity. It's not, unfortunately. It is, ironically, putting together all the facts and evidence to prove that these two political leaders do not need to face any criminal charges. When the Court dismissed the necessity to look into the circumstances behind Judge Brijgopal Harkishan Loya's death, it used the same manoeuvre (Tehseen Poonawalla v Union of India [2018]). In both the Loya and Jafri cases, the petition was to begin an inquiry rather than to reach a conclusion on...

Opium Production In Afghanistan: US’s Lost War Because Of Drugs In Afghanistan

Agamapar ChadhaJuly 15, 20220

American handling some or mishandling by others of the terrorist-ridden state of Afghanistan saw America removing American troops leaving the Afghan forces at their own devices, and informally ending the Afghan. Campaign after more than 20 years of conflict made Afghanistan the most protracted battle in which the U.S.A. has been involved. Many experts have pointed out religion, race and other factors benefitting their terrorist nemesis Taliban and their use of Guerrilla warfare to force the U.S. leaving the region. However, one overlooked factor that deadlocked Americans from stabilising Afghanistan was the opium poppy. After a four-year brutal conflict with the Soviet Union in 1979 led to the decimation of 10% of Afghanistan's population. During the battle, the resistance groups called...

Palaniswami Outsmarts Panneerselvam? A Cult Leader Likely To Win Next Election As Per AIADMK

Sayani ChakrabortyJuly 15, 20220

Edappadi K Palaniswami seized leadership of AIADMK and expelled O Panneerselvam after an unusual experiment in Indian politics: a party jointly governed by two leaders. The partnership between EPS and OPS was first established in 2017 and has been going strong ever since. As the chief minister of Tamil Nadu and a co-convener of the AIADMK, EPS and OPS worked together to remove an imprisoned VK Sasikala. A four-year prison sentence that began in February 2017 snatched control of the party from her hands after Jayalalithaa's death in 2016. AIADMK's tumultuous history is unique in Indian politics. Sasikala has a soft spot for OPS and EPS in her music collection at one point or another. Even though OPS is now in disgrace, she had already chosen him as her successor on two previous times...

Digging Deep To Dissect The Colossal Chaos In Maharashtra

Sayani ChakrabortyJuly 15, 20220

The BJP-Shiv Sena combo won India's 2019 parliamentary and Maharashtra state legislature elections. Every seat has a poster of Narendra Modi or Devendra Fadnavis. Both parties' candidates lauded the double-engine sarkar's quick expansion, iron-fisted law and order, and focus on Hindu nationalism. Even Uddhav Thackeray attended rallies where the BJP's national leadership promised that Modi and Fadnavis will rule the government if Maharashtra was re-elected. Sharad Pawar, Sonia Gandhi, and Sanjay Raut urged Uddhav Thackeray to forge an artificial coalition with the NCP and Congress. Thackeray's NCP and Congress allies rapidly took control, leaving Thackeray and his son Aaditya as bystanders. Maharashtra had three years of NCP-Congress governance before 2014, and it saw frequent ter...
