A ban without enforcement is symbolism. A ban without social change is theatre. And slowly, citizens begin to treat every new prohibition not as law, but as background noise.
American Psycho gave us Patrick Bateman. In HBO's Industry, Yasmin Kara-Hanani, played by Marisa Abela, channels convicted sex offender and Jeffrey Epstein's former partner Ghislaine Maxwell.
Who is responsible for the years that Arvind Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia, Sanjay Singh, and Vijay Nair lost? For the choked governance that Delhi faced for three years?
Even if Narendra Modi is too petrified to take a stand, the Congress and Sonia Gandhi have rightly criticised this outright violation of international norms.
Exports to the UAE, Gulf remittances and shipping are at risk as the Strait of Hormuz is closed. A weaker rupee, and soaring gold liabilities could stoke inflation.
For too long, sales misconduct has been treated as an operational issue created by overzealous relationship managers. The elevation of the issue to the board level signifies that mis-selling is a governance failure.
The lessons of earlier American regime-change efforts should be obvious. The dismantling of Iran’s regime could lead to the breakdown of state authority and the rise of warlords.
Major energy infrastructure is in the crosshairs of the conflict, raising risks of the biggest shock since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Qatar’s largest LNG plant remains shut, fuelling supply fears.
The Pakistani political leadership is weak and devoid of any intellect. Its diplomacy is entirely India-China-US focused and suffers from a presumptive view of Afghanistan as a vassal.
It’s an interesting and very valid observation, “ People’s notion of what is happening to the country is disconnected from their personal experience.” It shows how important the publicity and propaganda are, more and more in these days of social media driven perception management! BJP and PM have proven abilities in this area. People are smart, sooner or later they will start looking at the publicity through the lens of their personal experiences and apply critical thinking to come to their own conclusions. The sooner that happens the better for the country. Not just for BJP but same critical thinking should be applied to any propaganda based on lies!
After ThePrint was taken over by RSS khakis, you see most comments by extremist ideology supporters. Dark times for a country divided by caste and creed. Humara kya hain, hum toh jhola utha kar Noseyland chale jayenge.
You predicted BJP is losing in MP, Chattisgarh & Rajasthan! We all know what happened. Monday – Agriculture expert, Tuesday – defence expert, Wednesday – EVM expert, Thursday – Bharat jodo yatra convenor, Friday – Psephologist. Saturday and Sunday- Op-ed writer. Jack of all trades, master of none!
It is very sad to see Yogendra Yadav descend to such levels. Doubting EVMs is the worst kind of disservice you can do to your country. And how come you can ignore the scores of non-BJP goverments in various states who came about despite your EVM doubts? As they say, it is so so difficult to remain impartial while reporting – you can try and learn that from Shekhar Gupta may be. Multiple times in your article, you have cast doubts that the votes wont translate into the result. I would call it blasphemous if Indian Democracy is a religion!
Yogendra- this will not age well. You see what you want to see. You are bias and prepare pitch for your candidate and not a person of high morale value.
