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...

Multilateralism Is In Crisis Today, Says PM Modi In A Video Message At G20 Meeting: Deets Inside!

SHIVANI UJJAINWALMarch 3, 20230

According to the prime minister, recent financial crises, climatic change, pandemics, terrorism, and wars have demonstrated how inadequate global governance has been at fulfilling its two main objectives. The G20 Foreign Ministers' conference began off on Thursday at Rashtrapati Bhavan with a video message by Prime Minister Narendra Modi where he highlighted the need for 'unity of purpose' as well as 'unity of action' at a time when "multilateralism" is in a condition of "crisis". The financial crises, climate change, pandemic, terrorism, and wars of the past few years, he claimed, have demonstrated unequivocally that global governance has failed in both of its goals. “We must also admit that the tragic consequences of this failure are being faced most by developing countries”.

SHIVANI UJJAINWALFebruary 10, 20230

On Thursday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi made fun of the Nehru-Gandhi family for having several programmes named after them and questioned why they were "scared of maintaining the Nehru surname." In his response to the Rajya Sabha discussion on the motion of gratitude for the President's speech, Prime Minister Modi took aim at Congress MPs who claim the administration is attempting to downplay the importance of Jawaharlal Nehru's contributions to India. During his remarks, the prime minister was often interrupted by opposition supporters shouting slogans. An investigation of the Hindenburg-Adani dispute has been demanded by the opposition parties. PM Modi claimed to have read that more than 600 government programmes bear the Nehru-Gandhi family's names. “Some had problems with the

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 ...

‘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. Pragya Singh Thakur, a member of Parliament for the right-wing Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), caused a stir on December 25 when he urged a crowd in Shivamogga, Karnataka, to "keep weapons at home" and "chop enemy's head." The BJP lawmaker claimed as much while speaking at the annual convention of the Hindu Jagarana Vedike's South Region in the city of Karnataka. Keep the knives you use to chop veggies in good working order. Not sure when something will happen. Anyone can and should take measures to ensure their own safety. If someone breaks into our home and starts attacking us, we have every right to d...

Gujarat Election: BJP Promises To Create Gujarat A $1 Trillion Economy

Sayani ChakrabortyNovember 30, 20220

With the long-awaited release of the BJP's election platform, it's time to take a closer look at the poll-promises fight taking place in the Gujarat assembly elections. With promises to create a Uniform Civil Code, a bill to seize the assets of rioters, a deradicalization cell within the police force, and stringent limitations on religious conversion, the manifesto plays to the Hindutva gallery. That's not just empty talk. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has demonstrated that these kinds of promises resonate with a certain subset of Gujarat voters, and neither the Congress nor the occasional Hindutva-lite excursions by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) have offered an effective response. Despite BJP's seeming dominance in shaping the terms of public debate across sectors, there is one a...

People Want To Sue Over Morbi Tragedy Can Do So In Gujarat HC: Supreme Court

Sayani ChakrabortyNovember 22, 20220

Since a division bench led by the Chief Justice of the Gujarat high court had already taken suo motu note of the incident and issued many directives, the bench stated that it will not be hearing the applications at this time. On Monday, the Supreme Court declined to hear two petitions seeking independent inquiries into the bridge collapse in Morbi, Gujarat, that claimed the lives of more than 140 people. The court cited the fact that the Gujarat high court had already taken suo motu cognisance of the matter. The high court was ordered to keep an eye on the investigation and any other developments relating to it by a bench consisting of Chief Justice D.Y. Chandrachud and Justice Hima Kohli. The bench explained that it would not be hearing the petitions at this time since a division b...

Underperforming MLAs Should Be Ousted, But Only In Strong-Led Parties

Sayani ChakrabortyNovember 16, 20220

The BJP's approach to elections is distinguished by its clinical evaluation of the likelihood of reelection for each existing lawmaker. Fear has spread among several of the BJP's Karnataka legislators after the party lost over 30 sitting MLAs in Gujarat. Only 149 out of 312 UP MLAs from BJP's 2017 triumph were re-elected earlier this year. In general, this is a decent method. As many MLAs run for office under the party's symbol, the party has a responsibility to the electorate not to re-nominate an underperforming member. Keeping the party at arm's length from any local anti-incumbency against the candidate is a plus as well. In most cases, this is possible only for parties with exceptional leadership. It was reported in 2021 that the CPM in Kerala has expelled 38 of its sitting MLA...
