Arpita SarkarAugust 18, 20220

A court in Kozhikode, Kerala has said that a case of sexual harassment under Section 354 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) will not stand prima facie if the woman is wearing "sexually provocative dresses."

Opposition Abandons All Hope Of Defeating Modi Almost Halfway To 2024

Sayani ChakrabortyAugust 18, 20220

The present political opposition in India needs even a sliver of this famous quote to be successful. It's hard to discern whether the opposition's demise was due to ineptitude or the government's pro-people measures. Weak political opposition is bad for democracies, but in this instance, it's the opposition's lack of interest in the people. Speculation abounds over whether the opposition parties would challenge Mr. Modi and his party in 2024. The fact that this topic is being raised two years before the next general election shows the opposition parties' instability. They should respect voters' will. The concerns are more important because the BJP, despite being in office for eight years, continues to bat first, which the opposition should do. The opposition has corruption charge...

It’s Maha Time: Next Important Test For BJP-Shinde Will Be Municipal Elections

Sayani ChakrabortyAugust 17, 20220

It took six weeks of discussions, but the BJP has secured crucial positions in Maharashtra's newly expanded government. Though nine ministers were sworn in from both parties, the BJP has received the more prestigious ministries due to its larger majority in the legislature. Devendra Fadnavis, the state of Maharashtra's deputy chief minister, is a strong figure in the state's government. As most of the BJP's portfolios were handled by NCP and Congress in the MVA government, the 40-MLA Eknath Shinde faction might take solace in the fact that a certain equilibrium continues. However, the Shiv Sena has been weakened and fractured as a result of their continued time in office. There will be grumbling even within the BJP, as most ministers have been given far smaller portfolios than th...

Economy, Corruption, Politics And The Path Towards New India

Sayani ChakrabortyAugust 17, 20220

Recent weeks have demonstrated how "family first," "corruption first," and "freebies first" policies have wreaked havoc on economies in and around India, most notably Sri Lanka. Without naming any one state, political party, or individual, Prime Minister Modi sounded a note of caution about the dangers of populism and quick fixes in politics. In the past, many notable people and organizations, including the United States Supreme Court, have offered their thoughts on this topic. Instead of a "free for all" approach, which is unfair to the most deprived and perhaps nothing more than a gimmick because usually such schemes can never be implemented or sustained for a long time, any competent administrator would support the idea of ensuring that his or her government ensures targeted, foolpro...
