India Declares Afghan Soil Must Not Be Utilised For Terror Practices

RaviNovember 11, 20220

Indian Envoy R Ravindra at the UN has recently stated that India's proposals and strategies for Afghanistan will be helmed by historical camaraderie and the unique association with the Afghan community despite being highly apprehensive at the emerging altruistic situation in the country. "As a contiguous neighbour of Afghanistan with strong historical and cultural links, India's approach to Afghanistan will be guided by our historical friendship and special relationship with the Afghan people," stated Deputy Permanent Representative R Ravindra at the UN General Assembly on Afghanistan. The envoy stressed that India's major focus in Afghanistan incorporates delivering prompt humanitarian aid, making a truthfully comprehensive and self-governing government, fighting terrorism and d

Tossed Aside: Political Intervention Makes Mushroom Quotas A Mess, Courts Should Stay Out; Analysis

Sayani ChakrabortyNovember 9, 20220

Whatever their original motivation may have been, 70 years later reservations are not actually about alleviating poverty. The politics of caste allegations have grown rapidly in recent decades, fueling their aggressive development. As a result, the courts have compounded their actions in a way that follows the political flow, rather than defending the constitutional guardrails on the issue. Despite the high income cap of this quota and its high caste makeup, the highest court affirmed both an EWS quota and an arguable infringement of the 50% lakshman rekha this week. In sum, the four separate interpretations of the EWS ruling have only served to sow further confusion and uncertainty. A regulation passed in Maharashtra last year that favoured the Marathas while increasing the tota...

When It Comes To Power Politics, Words Play A Significant Role

Sayani ChakrabortyNovember 7, 20220

When morally and ethically damaging phrases are used by political leaders and activists, it is clear that there is a pressing need to examine the semantic role that words play in the public political realm. It's inevitable that the goal of verbal abuse is to disentangle words from concepts. Words are summaries of ideas, and ideas may be either good or bad. Socio-religious obscurantism, for instance, is often expressed through the use of terms that have been created in a group setting. They represent a chilling intolerance of difference and variety. On the other hand, terms like "inequality" and "injustice" draw attention to the need for their opposites. The words have no positive connotation because of the prejudice, hostility, and enmity they inspire. Communal and casteist insults,...

MCD, BMC Elections: Lives Of Citizens At Stake Amid Political Fight In Local Bodies

Sayani ChakrabortyNovember 5, 20220

Local elections are coming up in both Delhi and Mumbai, and the stakes in the political arena have never been higher. In Delhi's assembly elections, BJP and AAP campaigned for MCD in 2017 by projecting images of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, respectively; nonetheless, Delhi voters favoured the BJP. With ties between the Delhi L-G and the AAP administration plummeting, a far more bitter struggle now beckons. As the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) expands its national reach to include Gujarat, the state of Delhi holds its election under a cloud of uncertainty. The BJP has a great chance to take control of BMC as well, which is being run by the Thackeray family for decades. Shiv Sena faced an existential threat from the BJP in the BMC elections of 2017. In 2022...

‘Foot Fractured, Spirit Intact’: This Congress Leader From Manipur Practices What She Preaches On Bharat Jodo Yatra

RaviNovember 1, 20220

During the Bharat Jodo Yatra in Kothur, Telangana, all the yatris ease up before resuming the Yatra at 4 pm at the resting camp. People from all across India that have partaken in the Bharat Jodo Yatra relax after the relentless stroll for 53 days. On one side, Jairam Ramesh can be caught engrossed in his phone. On the other, Rahul Gandhi gears himself up for a press conference. During the break, the yatris can be seen lying in their tent, talking with each other, or simply relaxing. In the middle of the Yatra, a Congress Manipuri leader proved what she preaches she practices as she walked the talk with an injured foot. The secretary of All India Mahila Congress, Kim Haokip Shingnaisui, stated "I could not rest in the container with so many of my fellow yatris walking. My foot

Are Political Parties In Maharashtra Treating Voters Fairly?

Sayani ChakrabortyOctober 19, 20220

The BJP has pulled their candidate from the upcoming by-election in Andheri, Maharashtra. It's the first major election in the state since the MVA administration fell because to infighting within the Shiv Sena. As a result of the BJP's vote, the Uddhav Thackeray faction of Shiv Sena's nominee, Rutuja Latke, is virtually certain of victory. Ramesh Latke, the victor of the last election, has passed away, necessitating a by-election. BJP withdrew their candidate after being publicly lobbied by rival political parties to do so. The reason for this is that it is the political custom in Maharashtra to provide uncontested victories to the surviving relatives of candidates who have passed away. There is a catch here. Among the lawmakers that asked the BJP to withdraw its candidate was Sh...

India’s Semiconductor Chip Manufacturing Industry Becoming Atmanirbhar

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. On September 14, a joint venture between Vedanta and Foxconn signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Gujarat administration, committing to invest Rs 1,54,000 crore to create the facility in the state. This is the largest corporate investment in India's post-independence history. The report predicts that India will overtake China as the world's second-largest market for semiconductor mechanisms because to the widespread adoption of smartphones, wearables, cloud data centres, Industry 4.0 applications, IoT, smart agility, and public utilities infrastructure. ...

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...

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...
