In order to resolve the dispute between the Kerala government and governor Arif Mohammed Khan, the Kerala high court had to step in and block Khan's effort to fire the vice-chancellors of nine state institutions. Khan has yet to sign a law that would limit the governor's authority as chancellor of public colleges. The legislatures of Bengal and TN have already enacted laws that would have made chief ministers, rather than governors, the official chancellors of their respective states. Political interference in academic institutions is central to the problem. When a compliant governor is in charge, there are no issues. This spoils system has been thrown off by aggressive governors appointed by opposing parties, such as Jagdeep Dhankhar in Bengal, RN Ravi in Tamil Nadu, and Khan in Ke...

Sayani ChakrabortyOctober 18, 20220

By 2026, the Indian semiconductor market is expected to be valued $300 billion, up from the $119 billion forecasted for 2021 by the Indian Electronics and Semiconductor Association (IESA) and Contrast Investigate.

Why Supreme Court’s Decision On Abortion Is A Monumental Victory?

Sayani ChakrabortyOctober 17, 20220

The Supreme Court's ruling that unmarried women have the same right to abortion access as married women in the event of a medical emergency. This action is required to rectify a discrepancy between the law as written and as it is actually being applied. This ruling, which has been praised by feminists and medical professionals all over the world, marks a turning point in India's progress toward gender equality and the advancement of women's health. The Supreme Court held that there is no basis to exclude single or unmarried women from the categories of women who can seek abortion treatment after 20 weeks, but before 24 weeks, based on the equality provision of the Constitution and women's rights to dignity, privacy, and bodily autonomy. This Supreme Court ruling will go a long...

Decoding Capabilities Of Modi Regime With Regards To J&K’s Frontier Regions In India

Sayani ChakrabortyOctober 12, 20220

The borders represent authority symbolically and geographically. Watchtowers, barbed wire, and fences demonstrate the nation's supremacy. The border determines a state's bounds and people's identity. People on either side of the erstwhile Jammu and Kashmir border have few ties. India and Pakistan's tensions leave border residents in an uncomfortable situation. These people have particular requirements because they face distinct challenges. Along J&K's common border with Pakistan are the IB and the LoC. Since 1947, terrorist acts and cross-border shootings have caused concern. As a result, the economy, agriculture, livelihood, education, etc. suffer. To secure their safety, border residents must increase their 'capability development.' The Indian government is working on sever...

India Hops On Vanguard Of Mobility Revolution With ‘Vande Bharat’

Sayani ChakrabortyOctober 10, 20220

Two stories have dominated news cycles recently -- launching the Ahmedabad–Mumbai Vande Bharat train and India being the fifth biggest economy. At first, the two seem unrelated. Vande Bharat may be a roadmap for India's climb to worldwide prominence for an enlightened citizen. As the steel giant chugged into Mumbai Central on its inaugural trip, people flocked to take photos with it. All this was justified. The Vande Bharat Express makes India's semi-high-speed rail network more accessible and affordable. Aerodynamic design helps it reach 160 kph in under 140 seconds. Alternating power sources between carriages reduces travel time by 40–45% compared to regular express trains. Bio-vacuum toilets, reclining seats, onboard Wi-Fi, digital entertainment, and dust-free cabins make for a p...

EC’s Idea Of Freebie Seems As Unrealistic As Indian Politics Demands For Reform

Sayani ChakrabortyOctober 7, 20220

The Election Commission has surveyed the various political parties to gauge interest in using a standardised style for election manifestos to disclose the monetary consequences of campaign pledges. The format specifications will be included in the optional model code of conduct. EC's goal is for voters to make a well-informed decision. It's worth noting that five months ago, EC told the highest court that it's up to voters to decide whether or not election promises may be kept. It's possible for EC to have a change of heart. But will this really work? Making accurate economic predictions is difficult since they rely on assumptions that don't always pan out. It is therefore unlikely to yield useful information to ask political parties to make assumptions about their budgetary pled...

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...

President Who Is Not Attached To Gandhi Family Likely To Form Revived Congress

Sayani ChakrabortySeptember 29, 20220

The Congress party will soon be shattering a consensus that has been held for the past 24 years. Everyone in the Congress Party knows that only Gandhi can head the party. In the coming days, the Indian National Congress will elect its first non-Gandhi president since 1998. In order to keep the party together, only Gandhi can serve as president, and the chaotic Rao-Kesari years are used as evidence. Despite the Congress party's overwhelming electoral loss since 2014, there has been no credible call inside the party for a leader other than Gandhi to assume the presidency. The true reason everyone is looking for a Gandhi is that the party's middle ranks are so bitterly split that no one wants to see someone from that group promoted to the party leader. As such, the Gandhis can serve...

Congress Needs To Justify Where Rahul’s Position In Presidency Lies

Sayani ChakrabortySeptember 26, 20220

Since the beginning of the Bharat Jodo Yatra, Rahul Gandhi has been giving evasive responses to questions about whether or not he would run for president of the Congress when he makes appearances in the media. These have ranged from providing political opponents who are pragmatic with lofty philosophical advise to outright denying that he has any "confusion" about his intentions. Nevertheless, state units are drafting resolutions anticipating that he may be pulled into the presidency. This adds to the confusion that is being caused by Rahul's statements. The only information that the general public has access to about Rahul's choice not to run for office is a soundbite from another neta or information that is based on a source. This would be a terrible political move for Congress...

Breaking Down Cryptocurrency: Perspectives On Future Of Blockchain And Digital Finance In India

Sayani ChakrabortySeptember 23, 20220

As the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), genetic engineering, and other technologies continue to develop, India is on the threshold of a historically momentous era. New methods of doing business, making payments, and increasing productivity are emerging at a breakneck pace because of this accelerating pace of innovation across all sectors. In the driver's seat lies the crucial Blockchain technology, which is frequently confused with digital currency. In other words, we need to separate technology from its applications. Indeed, digital money is one of the early use of blockchain technology. IBM describes blockchain technology as "a shared, unchangeable ledger that supports the process of recording transactions and monitoring assets in a corporate network." Real ...
