Diljit Dosanjh-starrer Satluj doesn’t blame any political party or individual politicians. We only know the demographic in Punjab it’s bound to trigger the most.
The Congress party’s abandonment of nationalism is the most intriguing aspect of its post-2014 politics. The real Congress was never a party of bleeding heart pacifists.
Sacco’s ‘reporting’ is incredibly granular but there are areas where he can be faulted. Don’t let this undermine where his true focus is, in showing how local disputes led to riots.
It’s a perfectly reasonable presumption that Modi will be around for a significant enough time for us to reflect on the challenges that lie ahead. I will list five.
The central curse of our urban governance isn’t that more voters live in these slummified villages. It’s that the political class panders to them instead of improving their quality of life.
An oil shock, monsoon fears, rampant unemployment, and the seeming inevitability of inflation are common to both eras. Indira Gandhi’s self-destructive responses are instructive today.
Pakistan has ended up losing every war against India but that hasn’t prevented it from claiming victory. We will go over the evidence to anticipate what to expect next.
These elections mark completion of BJP-secular party divide purely on Hindu-Muslim basis. BJP’s rivals are increasingly looking like Muslim parties though their leaders are all Hindus.
On counting day, this special edition of National Interest looks at key takeaways from verdicts in West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Assam. You’d err if you credit or blame BJP’s success only on Hindutva. It’s more than that.
If the US law is eventually enforced, India could face higher crude costs and pressure on its exports to the US, but refiners are unlikely to abruptly stop buying Russian oil.
It is reliably learnt that Airbus, which had initially offered its A400M, is likely to sit it out since its aircraft outweighs requirements with payload capacity of 37 tonnes.
It’s evident Bhagwat was watching from a distance and was worried about youth’s anger towards Modi govt. The first thing he did was to demolish any criticism of Gen Z protesters as anti-national.
I think it’s a face saving moment. Shield sishyaas from further embarassment. I support our union government, can’t be in this matter. They totally misunderstood, mishandled the issue.
There is place for a little stardust and glamour in politics. For an earlier generation, that may have been represented by Ms Hema Malini. The choice of Ms Kangana Ranaut is a lot more problematic.
A wise, enlightened, far sighted tutorial. One that was much needed. How can a legitimate protest of the young and restless, centred on Janpath, but which resonated nationally, be dismissed as anti national. Or engineered by foreign elements hostile to India. Although the immediate trigger was the leak of NEET question papers, symbolising many such failures, the rocket fuel was unemployment. No bright future awaiting young Indians after they complete their education. 2. The blunt use of force, including pellet guns, in Delhi ought to have been thought through more carefully. Apart from much else, it has got India a very bad international press. 3. I don’t think this is a failure of narratives, communications, X versus Instagram. In Year Thirteen, this is one page of a Report Card that is being released by those whom we have been calling Demographic dividend. How those underlying failures are to be redressed should be causing people to lose some sleep, toss and turn in bed.
