Delhi Police is Centre’s responsibility. It can’t ignore protest & hope to evade embarrassment

The police protest in Delhi is a grave crisis. It doesn’t even seem localised. Policemen are speaking out in sympathy from other states, as are other services, including the IAS Association. The capital’s law and order is the Centre’s responsibility. It cannot be complacent and hope to evade embarrassment.

India’s RCEP pullout a turn to swadeshinomics. That’s not what a crisis-hit economy needs

India’s withdrawal from the RCEP trade deal is disappointing. Modi government’s concerns about trade deficits and domestic constituencies is an admission that India isn’t equipped to do trade deals commensurate with the size of its economy. It’s also an inward turn to swadeshinomics, not exactly what a crisis-hit economy needs.

  1. What happened to police reforms and judicial reforms in this country, successive govts only enpower themselves and do nothing for enpowering law and justice to help common man. Successive govts are run by the likes of Ambani and Jethmalani. With judiciary to be blamed for telecom wipeout, cricket mess and bad judgements affecting lives and careers of many thousands of indians. The lawyers and judges cartels help and enrich thdmselves. Police at least listens to common man and is duty bound to serve them, judiciary has only bought a bad name using tax payers money to live a elite life with lawyers supporting them.

  2. Basic governance is fraying. One cannot judge if we have reached the stage where Events, events begin to overpower an incumbent, forcing it to live from crisis to crisis. However, the brightest people who advise the government should caution it in good time that a sense of drift seems to be setting in. Strong governments with forbidding mandates have lost their way in the past. Fawning courtiers, including those in the media, should be the first to get their metaphorical pink slips.

  3. Big mandates are required to do big things, lift the country to a higher orbit. Normal functioning toh sarkar ki hoti rehti hai. Thirty years after India chose – virtually at gun point- a brave new path, we are back to protectionism. Not part of global value chains. Exports have stayed put at $ 300 billion for five years. Authentic data is hard to come by, but we may be the only important economy to be actually losing millions of jobs. This will inevitably lead to a rerating of India as a regional power. What some have called the curse of a second term is upon us.
