The silence may have to do with the state’s history of political violence. During the 2021 post-poll violence, BJP leaders 'ran away leaving their voters at the mercy of the mob'.
Even if there is an early agreement on a cessation of hostilities in Iran, the price shock will not go away easily. Global prices of oil and gas will remain elevated.
India’s university towns initiative is an opportunity to do something we have never managed at scale: build knowledge ecosystems rather than knowledge silos.
India’s parliamentary power was never entirely numerical. By giving voice to regions, federalism turned India into a nation. Now that national coherence is threatened by a purely numerical principle.
Japan’s experience should be viewed not as an anomaly but as a precursor. It illustrates that an economy can maintain resilience even as growth moderates.
Three factors—political buy-in, collector’s office as a listening post, and non-interference in anti-insurgency operations—ensured the Dantewada operation worked.
The relationship with the soldier is deeply personal, often devotional. When an image is framed as a tribute—invoking sacrifice and nationalism—the instinct is to honour, not verify.
Share of trade with FTA partners rose from 4.6% in 2006 to 28.8% in 2024. India is currently negotiating or advancing agreements with US, Israel, GCC, Canada & Mexico.
American objectives are unmet. They neither have muscle nor motivation to resume the war. As for Iran, the regime didn’t just survive, it’s now led by more radical individuals.
There is no actual right wing in India. Taxpayers dont get anything in return, most of our big cities flood with just few mm of rain and people spend one third of their life stuck in traffic. Noone seems to care where all the tax is going. BJP follows the same economic policies of congess with some extra cushioning to the handful oligarchs who keep pumping the party with money.
Modi thinks about winning elections more than actually doing something good for the country. If you genuinely do somethung good you may loose in the short term but long term people will make you win. Unfortunately all our politicians are short sighted and cowards.
Not for charlatans masquerading as journalists to try and guess what Modi is thinking. Particularly when hatred for Modi is an article of faith for you and favorite pastime.
He wants to be vishwa guru with Ukraine visit
He has abondend middle class he is highly dependent on bureaucracy and has ministers who were ex bureaucrats who usually does not have ears on ground
He is not learning lessons that buying mlas ministers doesn’t help still buying ex cm of jharkhand
His downfall started will continue with Maharashtra j&k and haryana
He was lucky with weak opposition but now people will show with votes make him loose
Not pro opposition votes but just to make him loose
Messing up big time
Modi is clueless. The guy has nothing to show for 10 years in government. All that was done was fake promises like less government, doubling farmer’s incomes etc none of which have come true. PVNR, ABV and MMS (in the first term) achieved much more despite leading coalitions and having their hands tied. Rest assured Modi has a new excuse to do nothing for the next 5 years, claiming he’s running a coalition. Luckily for him the opposition is completely incompetent as well.
All well said, but I may disagree with Vir when he says the PM is shrewed. Rather, the opposition is stupid, highly stupid and weak, and this relative difference is one of the higher reasons for the BJP to shine. BJP’s Hindu rashtra narratives, for example, went down strong among the middle class, who are in anyway always hungry for an identity (being middle class and being unable to see beyond themselves). If not, by the end of the second term, the tide should have already turned.
Fine column by Shri P B Mehta in Indian Express today.

Modi is thinking of abandoning prudent economics; and chanting freebies, subsidies, reservation, loan waivers, and jai karl marxa.
