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.

Trump's goal of ending the Iranian nuclear programme cannot be accomplished without overthrowing the Islamic regime in Iran, which is likely not possible without a ground invasion.
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'.
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.

We must also understand that before asking someone else (who has very less) to give up their dreams, we (who have very much) must sacrifice first. So asking village youth to give up secured military job or asking old men to adjust with lower pension, the MPs who almost always are already crorepatis must give up hefty salary raises and luxurious perks. And, of course, pension for mostly looting public wealth is absolutely slap on the poor’s face. So they should give up pension for just 5 years.
Also indirect tax should not be used to compensate for your economic mess/incompetence like demonetisation, swatch bharat sandas scheme which was foolishness by design, etc.
Electricity must not be free, but it should be subsidised for agriculture.
If you think that people work or earn money so that they could only eat and if they r given free food they will stop working then god help u. I believe people work to eat but they earn money to buy iPhone.
