Gandhi Archives

The Congress party will soon be shattering a consensus that has been held for the past 24 years. Everyone in the Congress Party knows that only Gandhi can head the party. In the coming days, the Indian National Congress will elect its first non-Gandhi president since 1998. In order to keep the party together, only Gandhi can serve as president, and the chaotic Rao-Kesari years are used as evidence. Despite the Congress party's overwhelming electoral loss since 2014, there has been no credible call inside the party for a leader other than Gandhi to assume the presidency. The true reason everyone is looking for a Gandhi is that the party's middle ranks are so bitterly split that no one wants to see someone from that group promoted to the party leader. As such, the Gandhis can serve...

Election 2024: Congress Needs To Find Sonia Gandhi’s Successor Soon To Be More Serious In Political Battle

Sayani ChakrabortyAugust 22, 20220

The election of a new Congress president began yesterday, and if all goes according to plan, the party will choose Sonia Gandhi's successor by September 20. Many things have changed politically in the nation since she became president of Congress in 1998. Her leadership has previously kept up with the changes, but she has been unable to properly refashion it for a BJP-dominated political scene. The fact that Congress hasn't been able to win any state elections since Sonia became president for a second time in 2019 is indicative of this. After Rahul's disastrous 2019 election season, in which the BJP came dangerously near to matching the Congress party's 1989 vote total, she returned to her former post. Sad to say, Rahul's repeated expressions of apathy have dampened the party's call...

Pooja YadavJuly 7, 20220

India could be a vast country inhabited by people speaking different languages and it remained a controversial issue for decades. Different political leaders and educationists express different opinions on the issue. English being introduced by Britishers in schools and colleges, it gradually took firm roots in the Indian soil. English played a very important role in the freedom struggle. The contribution of this foreign language can't be undermined. India is trying to become a strong nation from all spheres. In order to do so, the economic, social and political life of the state need to be changed.

Path Leading To 2024 Elections Seems Gloomy For Congress

Sayani ChakrabortyJune 9, 20220

It was odd that, despite Congress' strained relations, the other opposition parties remained silent or designated themselves as "like-minded" groups. After two years in office, Narendra Modi's second term is coming to a conclusion. Second, Rajiv Gandhi's assassination has been 30 years ago. Time to look at the political futures of India's two main political parties, which will both be celebrating their 100th birthdays in the summer of 2024. Our focus is on the present, and we won't linger on the past. The past may not always give the best indicator of the future in both mutual fund investing and politics. All non-Congress opposition parties with more than a 1% vote share don't sum up to 20% of the total vote, which was the Congress's total. This is true even for UPA allies like DMK and ...

Nepotism In Indian Politics: Factor That Unites Diametrically Opposites

Sayani ChakrabortyJanuary 24, 20220

Nepotism is an integral part of Indian politics. When it comes to the five impending elections for state assemblies, it is not uncommon for members of one political family to be on opposite sides of the political divide. Everyone in Akhilesh Yadav's large family has been marginalised after a protracted rift, earning the Samajwadi Party (SP) considerable public ridicule for being a family business. Having no future in the SP, Aparna Yadav, his sister-in-law, decided to join the BJP. There is a fading return to the Badal family dominance of the Akali Dal, which has ruled Punjab politics for decades. Political Nepotism of India In Indian politics, dynastic succession is reality except for parties like the BJP and the dying CPM and CPI, though they too make provisions for scions dem...
