Sayani ChakrabortyJuly 23, 20220

The present plight of the Congress party has been worrisome as the party's reputation, power and leadership skills have been denounced and thrown away into the abyss of identity depletion. With every election, the party is losing seats and reputation. Let us look into a brief history and main ideologies and purpose of this national party that once ousted the foreign power from the land of Tiranga. One of India's two main political parties, the Indian National Congress (INC), has a long and distinguished history. AO Hume, or Allan Octavian Hume as it is most often known, created the party in 1885. As one of the world's oldest political parties, it was instrumental in India's war for independence.

Indian Parliament: ‘Violence’ And ‘Vocabulary’ Restricted, Severely Reprimanded Here!

Sayani ChakrabortyJuly 20, 20220

Pompous Pradhan aka Dankapati once existed. Over a hundred years, he had brushed off his opponents' taunts with a Teflon-coated shield. He had a habit of returning favours in kind. As a result of the support of media sources, his outbursts were exaggerated and his opponents were demonised. But one day he realised that the two Houses of Parliament were on an equal playing field when it came to name-calling. Meanwhile, adversaries like Jumlajeevi, Vinash purush, tanashah, corrupt, Superspreader, Shakuni, and Jaichand were able to describe him and his henchmen using the most derogatory terms, including "Superspreader". As we all know, the truth is painful. His excellency and his subjects may now be described using a large list of phrases that are forbidden in both Houses. Members of Pa...

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...

Sri Lanka Crisis: Former Dynasty Preparing Its Return Amid Political Turmoil

Alankrati VermaJuly 13, 20220

For many years, the Rajapaksa dynasty in Sri Lanka dominated the island country with an iron grip, instilling fear among political opponents, journalists, and other people they saw as threats to their authority. They are currently being driven out of their houses and out of power by demonstrators. Following months of mass demonstrations against rising costs and shortages of necessities like food and petrol, President Gotabaya Rajapaksa, 73, is set to step down on Wednesday.   Protesters who were yelling "Gota Go Home" forced him to leave the property on Saturday after compelling him to spend the previous few days locked up at his official beachfront mansion. The turmoil revealed the public's rage against Rajapaksa, whose three-year rule has left Sri Lanka beseeching th

Deal Or Dialogue: Democracy Is On The Verge Of Collapsing, Who Is To Blame In Politics?

Sayani ChakrabortyJuly 11, 20220

Defections from Maha Vikas Aghadi or the Great Development Front coalition government have been widely seen as a sign of self-interest by those who defected from them. It has always been difficult to determine who is to blame in politics based on the diversity of group/sectional interests. The solution to this critical issue may be summarised thusly: Both of them are to blame. However, their flaws vary in kind. There's an ethical obligation on major political parties, for example, to align their policies with constitutional ideals, party programmes, and the backing of smaller political groupings. In order to improve the country's image abroad, it is incumbent upon a party with significant numbers and financial clout to put together a government that adheres to fundamental democratic ideals...

Watch Out For Boris: Change In UK’s Leadership Has No Bearing On International Politics

Sayani ChakrabortyJuly 8, 20220

Following a slew of controversies, Boris' own party eventually decided it had had enough of all the loud theatre and decided to skip the performance. Boris Johnson stepped down as thr Prime Minister of the UK and leader of the Conservative Party yesterday, following in the footsteps of many other prominent cabinet members who had already quit. His party will now vote for a new leader, and the country will perhaps look forward to more policy stability about important problems. A change in leadership in the United Kingdom, however, is both interesting and of little relevance given the country's little impact on the political landscape of the rest of the world. It is a fascinating morality tale that has ramifications for other democracies to see how a leader who led his party to its...

Judiciary As Important Pillar For Constitutional Frame work: An Analysis Of Its Functionality

Pooja YadavJuly 6, 20220

Every country stands safe on three important pillars that sustain it – the political leadership, the chief machinery and therefore the judicatory. Each of those three systems isn't only complementary to the opposite two but is additionally a form of watchdog to confirm that the opposite two systems don't go astray. The judicature, however, enjoys the highest position because it's almost independent of the control of the opposite two systems. The judiciary, according to the Constitution, has been given wider powers. a trial has been made by the founding fathers of the Constitution to supply full autonomy to the judiciary in order that the method of meeting out justice to at least one and everyone is free and fair. The role of the judiciary was brought into focus when several cases...

Bulldozer-Led Demolitions Among India’s Extralegal Penalties; Risk To Losing Public Confidence

Sayani ChakrabortyJuly 6, 20220

Modern jurisprudence holds that sanctions should fit the offence and that criminality is influenced by society. A court system that ignores current jurisprudence risks losing legitimacy and public confidence. A political perspective of the judicial system would also reflect public opinion, mass media, and the demands of dominant political parties and economic elites. This fused political system affects India's rule of law. The police and courts, the municipal corporation and civil administration, the media, and the universities have little to no operational independence. A political apparatus makes the rule of law more arbitrary. The arbitrariness of India's politicised judicial and civil systems may be seen in the rising use of bulldozer-led demolitions as extralegal penalties. ...

Politicising Police Shattering India’s Law And Order System; Here’s How!

Sayani ChakrabortyJuly 6, 20220

Due to increased political polarisation, interstate arrests have become a contentious issue for law enforcement. Disputes broke out between the police forces of Chhattisgarh and Uttar Pradesh after the arrest of a TV presenter who was accused of broadcasting a fake report about Rahul Gandhi. An attempt by the Punjab police to arrest BJP leader Tejinder Singh Bagga for his filthy words directed at Arvind Kejriwal some time ago was thwarted by the Haryana and Delhi police, who were working together on the case. Interstate arrests by law enforcement do not need a warrant issued by a local court. On the other hand, one must also observe proper social protocol. In relation to this particular investigation, the Chhattisgarh police got a warrant. As a consequence of this, in contrast to the ...
