There have been loud political battles in Mumbai since Maharashtra lost the Rs 1.54 lakh crore Vedanta-Foxconn semiconductor project to Gujarat. This, however, is smart politics. Such politics puts pressure on state governments to actively pursue private investment. Having employment, investment, and living standards become regular top-list concerns in party debates and voter attention will be even better for the political system. The PM's remarks sparked a national discussion over rival promises of freebies, which is the worst type of politics because, if freebies dominate policy thought in the present, the future would necessarily be dark. The good news is that certain governments are competing for high-stakes international investment despite freebie politics, and they are doing s...

Understanding Complicity Between Colonial State And Subaltern Class

Sayani ChakrabortySeptember 12, 20220

In studies of the experiences of India's poor and disenfranchised in the modern era, historians have often portrayed subalterns and the colonial state as antagonistic. Historians affiliated with the Subaltern Studies Collective were correct in their assessment that subaltern awareness existed outside from or in opposition to colonial modernity and its different institutions. They believed that genuine opposition to western social and political patterns originated in a separate subaltern domain that was unfettered by the colonial authority. That's why they zeroed in on the most spectacular instances of peasant uprising against the zamindar, sahukar and sarkar complex. The subaltern became a symbol of resistance in their hands. However, the history of colonial India is rife with examp...

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...

Can Religious Clothing Be Worn In Secular Public Schools?: Supreme Court On Hijab Row

Sayani ChakrabortySeptember 6, 20220

Multiple petitions were being heard by the Supreme Court, all of which aimed to overturn the Karnataka high court's decision to sustain the ban on the hijab. The Supreme Court, while hearing several petitions Monday challenging the Karnataka high court's decision to uphold a ban on hijab, noted that a person has a right to practise religion, but the question is whether it can be taken to a school which has a set uniform. The highest court in the land wanted to know if a hijab-wearing student could attend a school that required students to wear uniforms. It's possible that you have the freedom to practise whichever religion you choose. But can you put that into practise in a school that requires a uniform? A panel consisting of Justices Hemant Gupta and Sudhanshu Dhulia said that thi...

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 ...

Godrej Chairman Asks Centre To “Stop Dividing Country” and “Do More”

Sayani ChakrabortySeptember 5, 20220

Godrej Industries' chairman Nadir Godrej has called on the government to "do more" to heal divisions in the country. Top businesspeople, like Godrej, seldom weigh in on social or political issues like these. In 2019, the late businessman Rahul Bajaj claimed that fear of reprisals keeps business leaders silent. Godrej, who is also the managing director of Godrej Industries, stated that while the country was "doing extremely well" economically and pursuing social measures like financial inclusion and education, more could be done to "unify the country." I believe it is time for us to stop separating the country and work instead toward bringing people together. Godrej told PTI on the eve of a book launch, "I think that's important and I'm sure the government also recognises that the ec...

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...

‘Modern India’ Continues To Cripple With Burden Of Casteism And Blind Orthodoxy

Sayani ChakrabortySeptember 5, 20220

It is widely believed that the caste system is on the decline in today's globalised and contemporary world. At the same time, people of lower castes have been subjected to extreme kinds of discrimination, violence, and humiliation in a variety of settings during the past few years, including public spaces, workplaces, public transportation, and schools. People of lower social classes are being lynched and killed, as well as subjected to physical and verbal abuse, for seemingly trivial reasons, such as using the communal water supply, taking up prime seating in the classroom, owning a horse, or sporting a hip moustache. In recent years, members of the dominant castes have been seen showing solidarity with the accused and viewing the conviction or legal action against them as an affro...
