Maharashtra Diary: It’s Time To Dispel ‘Magic Number’, ‘Anti-Defection’ Misconceptions

Sayani ChakrabortyJune 27, 20220

A solution to the Shiv Sena's dissidence dilemma has yet to be found. Opposition lawmakers in the state and TV anchors parked outside the Radisson Blu hotel in Guwahati are ecstatic over the growing number of dissidents. However, amid all this drama, most politicians and the media have shattered the weak anti-defection rule, resulting in a great deal of uncertainty. Everyone is talking about the number 37 like it's some kind of mystical potion. It is assumed that the dissident group of Eknath Shinde may avoid disqualification if it can get the support of at least 37 MLAs, or two-thirds of the party's 55 lawmakers. When it comes to the initial legislation on defection, the Constitution's 10th Schedule, most individuals conveniently forget about things they should have known about. Def...

Is India’s Congress Party In A State Of Self-Destruct?

Sayani ChakrabortyNovember 11, 20210

In Punjab, where innocent Indians were massacred by British colonial control at Jallianwala Bagh, Amritsar has just undergone a major refurbishment. Jallianwala Bagh has been "Disneyified" by the BJP administration, according to Congress Party leader Rahul Gandhi, and only a person who does not understand the meaning of sacrifice can inflict such an insult on the victims. These states, Punjab, Chhattisgarh, and Rajasthan, have been in the headlines recently because of infighting among their ranks. Bhupesh Baghel, the vibrant chief minister of Chhattisgarh, led his followers to New Delhi in a show of strength to wipe out any threat to his position from his party opponent T.S. Deo last month, much to the displeasure of the Congress Party high command. It was anticipated that the party...

The Missing Voice Of Youth In Politics

Sayani ChakrabortyNovember 11, 20210

India is home to over 1.3 billion people. One-fifth of the population, or 19.1 percent, is under the age of 25, the highest proportion in the world. But still the voice of youth is missing. However, just 6 percent of India's leaders and ministers are under 35, making them ineligible to be referred to as "young leaders." This is even though 65 percent of its population is under the age of 35. Only 12 percent of the current Lok Sabha is comprised of persons under the age of 35. The lack of excitement, vigor, and energy in the political arena is causing an alarming number of people to abandon their political positions. One could question why our country's youthful population has such a low representation in politics, given that they are doing amazing things in other aspects of their life ...

Aayushi KumariOctober 23, 20210

Misogyny is deeply rooted within the minds of the people and bringing a sudden change seems to be a long road. At such a crucial point in time, when people are fighting for equal pay, rights, and education, one would hope for some supportive words from the politicians who are our own chosen leaders. But, in this case, we are talking about such statements by 3 different politicians that sound sexist, patriarchal, and at some point, hugely misogynist.  Yogi Adityanath, CM of Uttar Pradesh - Uttar Pradesh’s chosen Chief Minister is known for his love for the Hindutva and motherland. The deeply rooted love seemed to create a connection with patriarchy as well.
