Arpita SarkarSeptember 21, 20220

Undeterred by hefty fees, parents in India are choosing schools affiliated with foreign boards with the hope that their children will not only receive an "international standard" of education but also a better chance of getting into a university abroad. Data shows that in the last few years, the Switzerland-headquartered International Baccalaureate (IB) and the UK's Cambridge Assessment International Education (CAIE) have witnessed significant growth in popularity in India.

Arpita SarkarSeptember 19, 20220

In less than a decade, the number of foreign students coming to India for studies has increased by nearly 42 per cent. However, the countries that send students to India have remained roughly the same over the years, with a large portion coming from South Asian countries and Nepal accounting for the largest share, Indian government data shows.

States Compete For Industrial Investment, Just Handful Emerge As Victorious

Sayani ChakrabortySeptember 15, 20220

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...

Arpita SarkarSeptember 9, 20220

A marriage certificate issued by Arya Samaj alone is not valid if it is not registered in accordance with the law. This is what the Allahabad High Court said. The court also said that by issuing such certificates without verifying the valid documents of the bride and groom, there is an abuse of trust.
