India's generals must remember that when they speak, the impact lasts for a long time. Field Marshal Cariappa's 1970 remark about a military rule is a case in point.
With the Indian govt's Personal Data Protection Bill only outlining broad principles governing data, the role of the Data Protection Authority becomes even more important.
The tragedy of Kashmiri Pandits remains underreported and needs multiple retellings, even as the 30th anniversary of exodus witnesses a vow of return: Hum Wapas Ayenge.
The Union Budget 2020 should focus on creating a coherent and viable policy framework for lending to MSMEs, including making it a core business activity for banks.
Boeing's problems are growing, as more details about what caused the 737 max crashes comes out. At this rate, the aviation giant may never be able to meet its requisite targets.
In a sea of sameness, real plot twist now isn’t perfection, it’s presence. Ten years ago, what would not have been a personality is now setting standard because no one is trying.
This is the transcript of Ep 1830 of Cut the Clutter, where Shekhar Gupta explains why strategic petroleum reserves are a national necessity & how India compares with China, US & Japan.

Congratulations to the author. Once he becomes a police officer, hope he:
-Doesn’t get a protruding belly.
-The car in which he travels follows 100% of all traffic laws.
-His subordinates wear riot gears instead of cricket pads and helmets.
-Makes beat police do their jobs.
-Nil police corruption in his jurisdiction.
-Follows by-the-book policing.

Why does the improvement in the India’s problems not happening fast enough? The situation on ground is mostly same. The politicians are basically controlling everything, and the corruption is all time high. The civil servants can not do much .
Why are the brightest candidates going in civil services in India or Indian subcontinents?
1. I am one of those who attempted the Civil Services Exams 36 years ago and did not succeed. It was difficult for me from a remote location in Uttarakhand without any coaching, especially with my slow snail-pace writing skills.
2. However, as stated here, I believe I learnt a lot simply by preparing for it. Later, as the founding director of a foreign-funded non-governmental organisation, my preparations for CS assisted me in writing proposals, assessments, and reports that linked social dynamics to historical, economic, social, and political realities.
3. Those days Until 26 years of age, only 3 attempts were allowed for Gen Cat.
4. I believe that CSE like the medical and engineering exams, should require a minimum of a 12th grade education. It will save the lives of those who are currently in their mid-late thirties and could not clear CSE. The “Catch them young” approach will also provide extra time for learning about the system. Modern civil services do not require a ‘spark’ but rather someone who grows with the system.
