Unveiling Effective Leadership As Cornerstone Of Culture And Modern Civilisation

Sayani ChakrabortyAugust 29, 20220

After a successful performance of Beethoven's violin concerto, the world-famous musician remarked, "I have a beautiful score, a magnificent violin, and a very fine bow. I can stand away after I've put things together. Great music, like most circumstances and fields in which effective leadership is required, demonstrates this truth. The best leaders are those who can step aside and let their followers take the reins when the time is right. For instance, the late Thomas Roberts, SJ, archbishop of Bombay, is a great example of empowering leadership within the Catholic church. He realised that the church in Bombay would benefit from local leadership following Independence and thus removed his subordinate, Valerian Gracias, from his position as bishop. This set the stage for a peaceful t...

A Loss Of Privacy For Personal Information: An Insight Of Personal Data Protection Bill, 2019

Sayani ChakrabortyAugust 25, 20220

The Personal Data Protection Bill, 2019 was abandoned after years of development. A "full legal framework" to safeguard people's data lacks precise timetables and guiding principles. The federal government removed the Personal Data Protection Bill, 2019 (PDP Bill) from Parliament during the 2022 monsoon session. "Big tech" refers to US-based IT giants. The union government recently abandoned the third draught of the PDP Bill, which followed the 2018 Justice B N Srikrishna Committee suggestion. The union minister for electronics and information technology's statement in parliament that a thorough legal framework is being worked on is not convincing (JPC). Given the US government's backing for multinational digital technologies or "big tech," it's probable that pressure from outsid...

New Administration And Difficulties Of Mahagathbandhan’s Goals

Sayani ChakrabortyAugust 23, 20220

Politics cynicism is rising. The public has witnessed countless reenactments of "Operation Kamal," so instances of obvious and merciless displays of money or power are plentiful. When Bihar struck on August 9, 2022, Jharkhand was suspected. Nitish Kumar resigned the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance in 2013. (NDA). Kumar resigned from the NDA on May 18, 2014, citing ideological concerns after the Lok Sabha election defeat. In June 2015, he formed the Mahagathbandhan with RJD and Congress (grand alliance). Mahagathbandhan won the assembly elections, and Kumar and Tejashwi Yadav took power. After two years, Kumar resigned again. The BJP supported the governor within hours, and he entered office the following day. The NDA won the 2019 Lok Sabha elections after establishing a government ...

Election 2024: Congress Needs To Find Sonia Gandhi’s Successor Soon To Be More Serious In Political Battle

Sayani ChakrabortyAugust 22, 20220

The election of a new Congress president began yesterday, and if all goes according to plan, the party will choose Sonia Gandhi's successor by September 20. Many things have changed politically in the nation since she became president of Congress in 1998. Her leadership has previously kept up with the changes, but she has been unable to properly refashion it for a BJP-dominated political scene. The fact that Congress hasn't been able to win any state elections since Sonia became president for a second time in 2019 is indicative of this. After Rahul's disastrous 2019 election season, in which the BJP came dangerously near to matching the Congress party's 1989 vote total, she returned to her former post. Sad to say, Rahul's repeated expressions of apathy have dampened the party's call...

It’s Maha Time: Next Important Test For BJP-Shinde Will Be Municipal Elections

Sayani ChakrabortyAugust 17, 20220

It took six weeks of discussions, but the BJP has secured crucial positions in Maharashtra's newly expanded government. Though nine ministers were sworn in from both parties, the BJP has received the more prestigious ministries due to its larger majority in the legislature. Devendra Fadnavis, the state of Maharashtra's deputy chief minister, is a strong figure in the state's government. As most of the BJP's portfolios were handled by NCP and Congress in the MVA government, the 40-MLA Eknath Shinde faction might take solace in the fact that a certain equilibrium continues. However, the Shiv Sena has been weakened and fractured as a result of their continued time in office. There will be grumbling even within the BJP, as most ministers have been given far smaller portfolios than th...

Economy, Corruption, Politics And The Path Towards New India

Sayani ChakrabortyAugust 17, 20220

Recent weeks have demonstrated how "family first," "corruption first," and "freebies first" policies have wreaked havoc on economies in and around India, most notably Sri Lanka. Without naming any one state, political party, or individual, Prime Minister Modi sounded a note of caution about the dangers of populism and quick fixes in politics. In the past, many notable people and organizations, including the United States Supreme Court, have offered their thoughts on this topic. Instead of a "free for all" approach, which is unfair to the most deprived and perhaps nothing more than a gimmick because usually such schemes can never be implemented or sustained for a long time, any competent administrator would support the idea of ensuring that his or her government ensures targeted, foolpro...

India In Search Of Equality That Can Stand Up To The Test Of Time

Sayani ChakrabortyAugust 12, 20220

Many people say things like "we are the first political party that has made it possible for a person from the underprivileged socioeconomic classes to be elected to the highest position in the nation" in reference to the elections conducted to determine India's 15th president. What follows, at least for some, from such an expression is as follows: Because this claim would obliquely suggest that a politically correct party or coalition of parties occupy a special and perhaps superior moral position to give meaning to inclusive democracy by supporting, in this case, an Adivasi who has been historically excluded from occupying the highest public office Some of the politics of symbolic presence is likely to argue that producing the election outcome in favour of an Adivasi or a Dalit woul

Sexism In Kenyan Politics: Political Patriarchy Tries To Cower Women With Power

Agamapar ChadhaAugust 8, 20220

Much like any politics, Kenya is filled with pompous attitudes, incorrigible remarks and comments. But, what is more, specific in Kenyan politics is the targeting of female politicians and candidates who are bullied by the patriarchal opponents and the public as being equivalent to sex workers and are subjected to being sexually harassed. In 2017 the political representation of women only accounted for 21%. According to a report by the Independent Electoral Boundaries Commission, the Percent of women vying for senate, national assembly, and governor seats had increased from 7% in 2017 to only 11% in 2022. In December 2020, a political party official in Kenya made vulgar comments to a female parliamentarian. While campaigning for their political side, he commented that she was “not a...

Bihar In Need Of Economic Development: A Critical Analysis

Pooja YadavAugust 8, 20220

The name of the state, Bihar, comes out of Vihara– a word from Sanskrit and Pali monastic literature meaning abode. However, for several of Bihar’s–more than 100 million– people, the goal of life has become to settle elsewhere. It’s not only an etymological tragedy to start with but also a way of pain that folks from the state have, over the years, normalized. they need to acquiesce to the actual fact that the worth of success begins with the loss of home. If Bihar was a rustic it'd be the 12th most populous country in the world, sandwiched somewhere between Japan and Ethiopia. If time will be a measure, Bihar’s per-capita income today stands at but the per-capita of India in 2009-10. One in three Bihari lives under the yoke of the poverty level. Unemployment reigns high.

New Vice President, Old Politics: How Can Opposition Defeat BJP?

Sayani ChakrabortyAugust 8, 20220

Jagdeep Dhankhar's emphatic win in the vice-presidential elections is another indication of the BJP's supremacy in national politics. BJD and YSRCP, two "neutral" regional parties, were more likely to vote for Dhankhar than disenchanted opposition parties. In presidential and vice-presidential elections, the national ruling party always has an advantage in capturing votes from parties that are not completely aligned with it. Regional parties understand that a vote against the Centre isn't worth the effort of antagonising these two positions, which have little political value. But the near-disaster of the monsoon session should prompt the BJP to rethink its strategy. Legislators will always have dissenting views, regardless of who is in charge. In parliamentary politics, legislation,...

Indian Politics of Defection: An Uninteresting Variant Of Dissidence

Sayani ChakrabortyAugust 2, 20220

Defections from various political parties and the resulting deviation from norms such as "loyalty is not sellable," "pluralism is to be considered worthy of respect," and "politics that endorses improvement in the spheres of non-coercion or increasing but reasonable degrees of freedom" have recently led to the melancholy expression, "we were wrong in supporting, promoting, and protecting these defectors." Congress MPs in Madhya Pradesh (MP) and Karnataka as well as the Shiv Sena in Goa and, more lately, Maharashtra are heard using these kinds of rhetoric. Is the act of defection becoming the new standard for doing politics in India? This raises the most basic problems. What is the reason for the violations of the above-mentioned norms? And who is responsible for this? The act of def...
