Poor Air Quality Is A Nationwide Problem With No State-Specific Solutions

Sayani ChakrabortyDecember 12, 20220

There is a common misconception that India's air pollution problem is limited to the seven states spanning from Punjab in the northwest to West Bengal in the southeast, which make up the Indo-Gangetic Plain (IGP) airshed. This was debunked by the report. Recent air quality index values in Mumbai and Chennai, two coastal metros, were worse than those in Delhi. All in all, it's a worrying situation. Of the 50 most polluted cities in the world, 35 are in India, according to the latest World Air Quality Report. The negative impacts of poor air quality on public health are widespread. According to the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019, air pollution was responsible for 18% of fatalities in India in 2019. The cost to the economy was 1.36 percent of GDP. Within India, the poorest states ...

PFI Ban: Modi Government Takes Measure Keeping With Its “Zero Tolerance” Stance Toward Terrorism

Sayani ChakrabortySeptember 29, 20220

On September 22, the CIA and DEA started simultaneous operations in 11 states. NIA and ED raided PFI offices and affiliates (PFI). Muslims accuse PFI of sponsoring terrorism and extremism. A large-scale, well-planned attack in many states sent shockwaves across the country. This operation captured 106 PFI officials and seized damning documents, guns, and explosives. PFI opposed the surgery to avoid controversy. Investigation agencies exposed the public to the central government's true face as reports circulated that they were detaining Opposition leaders to crush them. The group started volunteering in 2006. The 1992 Babri Mosque incident revealed the group's true character. This group's terrorist and Islamic extremist acts in South India were planned to terrorise Hindus. In the ens...

Centre Uproots PFI: Consequences Its Members, Employees Likely To Face

Snehashish RoySeptember 28, 20220

According to the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA), 1967, the Centre has designated the Popular Front of India (PFI) as an "unlawful association." State police and federal law enforcement agencies now have the authority to detain organisation members, freeze their accounts, and even seize their property. Following are some serious repercussions that might occur in accordance with the law: The UAPA makes belonging to a prohibited organisation a crime in Section 10. According to the law, belonging to a prohibited organisation carries a two-year minimum punishment that, in some cases, can be increased to a life sentence or even the death penalty. A person who "is and continues to be a member of such association, or participates in meetings of such association, or contribu...

Urban Governance: The Area Where India Lags Most

Snehashish RoySeptember 16, 20220

The fact that Bengaluru lacks an elected government significantly worsened the issue as the city experienced severe flooding over the previous week. The state government presently appoints bureaucrats to oversee the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike council because the tenure of the previous elected council ended in 2020. One of the major cities in the globe is Bengaluru. More than eight million people live in the Greater Bengaluru region, which is comparable to the population of Switzerland. The fact that it lacks an elected government is, to put it simply, astonishing and highlights what is likely India's worst governance weakness: a lacklustre, essentially nonexistent autonomous urban governance. What's visible in urban governance? India has 675 million urban residents. This f...

There Seems To Be A Modi Cult Everywhere, But How Long Will This Last?

Sayani ChakrabortySeptember 7, 20220

Millions of Indians have two COVID-19 immunisation certificates. Each document has Narendra Modi's signature. We must all hear that he has protected us with his compassion and plenty. Due to Ganesh Chaturthi, images of the rotund Hindu god Ganesh are proliferating. Several photographs show Modi. He's been in the media. He's on sarees and book covers. He opens bridges and warships. He inaugurated projects in Bhuj, Kerala, and Mangaluru in a week. He makes all the announcements while those ministers keep quiet. They brag about his excellence when they speak. Always highlight the uniqueness. Kim Jong Un can learn from him. Nirmala Sitharaman, India's finance minister, chastised a district collector for not displaying a Narendra Modi flag at a ration shop. She said the federal govern...

India’s Democratic Setup Receives Vehement Attack And Assault

Sayani ChakrabortySeptember 6, 20220

The Prime Minister vehemently criticised the "freebie culture" last month at a public speech. He took particular aim at the norm of giving out free stuff in exchange for votes. It's all part of a plan to win over voters, he said, and the free stuff is just a bonus. He insisted that this strategy had to be countered, saying, "those who dis­tribute freebies would never create expressways, airports, or defence routes to encourage growth." As the Prime Minister railed against giveaways, the courts stepped in to prevent political parties from promising benefits for the poor and powerless. A three-judge bench of the Supreme Court of India, led by the Chief Justice of India (CJI), had suggested a wide-ranging expert committee to examine the issue of freebies after a recent public interest ...

Challenge To Raise Percentage Of Rich Amid India’s Growing GDP

Sayani ChakrabortySeptember 5, 20220

India's economic growth has surpassed that of the United Kingdom, making it the world's fifth biggest economy. India's growth is inevitable in the following years, thanks to its large pool of young people poised to enter the middle class and its thriving digital environment. Evidence from SBI Research suggests that India may overtake Japan and become the third biggest economy by the end of this decade. Inflation has not skyrocketed in India despite the Covid epidemic and the Ukraine conflict, and the country has avoided the energy crises that have plagued nations like the United Kingdom. GoI's resolution to not build up a huge budget deficit was correct despite the temptation to replicate the West's excessive stimulus programmes. More creative problem-solving is required for the de...

Gunjan ChaudharyMay 7, 20220

News of the economic crisis in Sri Lanka has sparked a new debate against freebies in the country. The Sri Lankan government had taken steps such as cutting taxes for all and distributing various free goods and services.

Gunjan ChaudharyDecember 17, 20210

He has raised questions on the Shimla Agreement by tweeting. Vij has described the war won by the soldiers in the 1971 Indo-Pakistani War as a defeat on the table by politicians.
