BJP’s Bold Move: A Jolt To Senior Leaders In MP Candidates List – Complacency Not An Option!

Sayani ChakrabortyOctober 2, 20230

The modern BJP is a strong opponent in elections because it does not allow complacency to slip in. In the upcoming assembly elections in MP, the party is competing fiercely with Congress. The BJP unveiled their slate of 39 potential candidates on Monday night. The highlight was a different kind of shakeup. Veterans, including several ministers in the government of India, have being urged to return home to run in upcoming assembly elections. Narendra Singh Tomar, the minister of agriculture, was one of them. To everyone's astonishment, the party's national general secretary, Kailash Vijayvargiya, is conflicted about it since it may affect his son's chances of earning a ticket. Some of the party's major hitters were reportedly caught off guard when they saw their names on the list of ...

Joshimath’s Carrying Capacity Overshoot Confirmed By NDMA: Calls For Immediate Action

Sayani ChakrabortySeptember 26, 20230

What locals in Joshimath and geologists had suspected has now been officially acknowledged by the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA). The community has been overpopulated for a long time. As a result, no new buildings should be permitted there. The administration of Uttarakhand failed to inform the public of even this confirmation. Since the NDMA's findings were sent to the Uttarakhand HC in a sealed envelope, it required a TOIreport for the public to learn what they were. The bench of the High Court questioned the necessity of maintaining confidentiality. Progression and development in the Himalayan states We are at a crossroads in terms of development in the Himalayan states, and the NDMA's post-disaster report needs to be read in conjunction with other developmen...

Democracy’s Unnoticed Direction: The Indispensable Power and Promise of Opposition Parties

Sayani ChakrabortyAugust 5, 20230

The opposition party is an essential balance in democratic politics. They conduct a symphony of checks and balances and alternative viewpoints. This crucial part should not be overlooked. It should be celebrated for the essential role it plays in the development and stability of a political environment. Unheralded yet crucial to the health of a democracy, the opposition party maintains the system of checks and balances. This unwavering watchdog constantly monitors the government's doings. They cast doubt on its policies and condemning its judgements. By carefully examining legislative ideas, investigating executive activities, and uncovering any violations of the law, the opposition checks the ruling party's authority and helps keep the delicate balance of democracy in place.

The Potential Turning Moment of Rahul Gandhi’s Disqualification

Sayani ChakrabortyMarch 30, 20230

In Indian politics, a new era has begun. When the ruling party seizes control of the Republic's institutions, as has happened in India recently, the opposition must resort to more clandestine strategies. To better connect with the people, Rahul Gandhi first immersed himself in Parliament and then set out on a Bharat Jodo Yatra. The governing government felt they had to eliminate him as a threat. It's the beginning of a brand new series. When the institutions of the Republic are taken by the governing party, as is the case in India at the moment, the opposition is left with few options for bringing about change. First, Rahul Gandhi put his money where his mouth is, in parliament, where he denounced attacks on democracy and the nexus between the Modi government and new oligarchs. Howe...

Decreased Private Demand Slows Economic Growth, Suggesting Policy Changes

Sayani ChakrabortyMarch 7, 20230

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...

‘Who’s Free?’: SC Warned Against More Restrictions On Free Speech, But IPC Misuse Needs Vigilance

Sayani ChakrabortyJanuary 6, 20230

An eight-member bench of the Supreme Court found that no additional reasonable constraints can be envisioned on freedom of expression beyond those currently stated in Article 19. (2). These include issues related to public order, decency, defamation, and incitement to crime, as well as the sovereignty and integrity of India, the security of the state, and friendly ties with foreign powers. If a law restricting free expression is proposed by the state but does not fall into one of these eight categories of "reasonable limits," it may be challenged and overturned. Articles 19(1) (free speech) and 21 (right to life and personal liberty) rights are enforceable against private entities, and the state is obligated to defend these rights even when they are violated by non-state actors, as ...

SC Upholding EWS Quota Shows Its Ignorance Of Socio-Economic Fairness And Equality

Sayani ChakrabortyNovember 24, 20220

In 1985, Justice Chinnappa Reddy ruled that quotas should be utilised for equality, not charity. His ruling explains the social justice goals of Indian reservations clearly and movingly. The fact that the judiciary, which had previously rejected such notions of social justice, finally accepted the view of politicians and the majority of Indians regarding the need for vertical reservations in jobs and education to create a truly equal India is a landmark decision that will continue to symbolise this. Consider the Supreme Court's ruling in Janhit Abhiyan v Union of India (2022), which upheld the 103rd amendment in the context of reservations for economically poorer sector (EWS). By upholding the 103rd amendment, the Court implied such reservations are for charity, not parity. All thre...
