Decreased Private Demand Slows Economic Growth, Suggesting Policy Changes

Sayani ChakrabortyMarch 7, 20230

In line with RBI's projection but below the mainstream opinion of experts, GDP for the third quarter (October-December) of 2022-23 was Rs 40.19 lakh crore, up by 4.4%. Even if GDP revisions for the prior quarter and fiscal year are ignored, data from the third quarter still offers alarming signals about the rate at which the economy is losing steam. In the face of rising interest rates, the positive effects of a return to normalcy in the economy have had a chilling effect on private consumption. In addition, against the backdrop of a worldwide economic recession, manufacturing has decreased for the second consecutive quarter. In the third quarter, private consumption spending increased by 2.1% to Rs 24.77 lakh crore. When compared to the prior quarter (July-September), this one saw ...

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...

BJP Hopes To Win Nine Out Of Ten State Elections In 2023 With Less Opposition

Sayani ChakrabortyJanuary 23, 20230

The head of the BJP, JP Nadda, has set a lofty goal for his party: to sweep all nine state elections this year. Even before the 2024 Lok Sabha election campaign begins, such a landslide will demoralise the opposition. The BJP has also set its sights on 160 of the 543 seats in the Lok Sabha where it expects to face difficult competition. Such forethought is uncommon in Indian politics. This has made the BJP a formidable electoral force. It's easy to see why Nadda would want to concentrate on the assembly elections. While Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP have a stranglehold on national politics, the BJP has yet to achieve the same level of dominance in state assemblies. Clearly, the BJP hasn't ruled out the potential of local political developments maturing into a coordinated ...

‘Who’s Free?’: SC Warned Against More Restrictions On Free Speech, But IPC Misuse Needs Vigilance

Sayani ChakrabortyJanuary 6, 20230

An eight-member bench of the Supreme Court found that no additional reasonable constraints can be envisioned on freedom of expression beyond those currently stated in Article 19. (2). These include issues related to public order, decency, defamation, and incitement to crime, as well as the sovereignty and integrity of India, the security of the state, and friendly ties with foreign powers. If a law restricting free expression is proposed by the state but does not fall into one of these eight categories of "reasonable limits," it may be challenged and overturned. Articles 19(1) (free speech) and 21 (right to life and personal liberty) rights are enforceable against private entities, and the state is obligated to defend these rights even when they are violated by non-state actors, as ...

Some States Routinely Leak Exam Papers: Computerized Testing Must Be Implemented

Sayani ChakrabortyJanuary 2, 20230

To compete for a limited number of jobs, India has a large supply-demand mismatch, which has encouraged widespread corruption. One major manifestation of this corruption is the widespread use of paper leaks in everything from Grade 10 and 12 exams to government job fairs. But there are some states that stand out as being especially vulnerable, and Rajasthan is one of them after reporting yet another scandal on Saturday. This time, over 3 lakh people were impacted when a senior teacher recruitment exam had to be cancelled due to a leaked paper. The REET for primary and upper primary teachers had over 16 lakh applicants when it was cancelled earlier this year. Aspiring secretaries, cops, and rangers have all experienced the same fate. It's bad enough having to retake an exam for no go...

India Must Boost Its Counterintelligence As The World Scenario Deteriorates And Fluctuates

Sayani ChakrabortyJanuary 2, 20230

The suspicious murders in Odisha of a Russian businessman and politician who was a vocal Putin opponent should raise red flags in India's security services. The politician's death has been ruled accidental for the time being, but numerous questions have been raised because the local police did not follow standard operating procedure and keep the viscera following the post-mortem. A hospital window in Moscow is where the chairman of Russia's second-largest oil business met his untimely end. Like many others, he had demanded that Russia halt its military operation. Deadly mysteries have been around nearly as long as political intrigue and warfare on a global scale. In addition, it is common knowledge that intelligence agencies from time to time engage in what the Americans call "extre...

‘Keep Sharp Weapons At Home To Cut Enemy’s Head’: BJP’s Pragya Singh Thakur Condemns ‘Love Jihad’

Sayani ChakrabortyDecember 27, 20220

The BJP lawmaker, speaking at a rally in Shivamogga, Karnataka, condemned "love jihad" and urged Hindus to refrain from sending their children to missionary schools.
