Talk Point

Half-baked allegations about defence procurements are detrimental to national security

In all high-ticket defence deals, it may be prudent for the government to brief a compressed Parliamentary Committee for Defence, regarding the nuances of the contract.

There is no overwhelming reason why defence deals should be treated with kid gloves

Is political debate on defence deals like the Rafale fighter jet necessary for accountability?

Talk Point: Will the creation of a National Anti-Profiteering Authority impair business?

The authority has the power to impose penalties and even cancel the registration of a business if it does not pass the benefits of GST to consumers.

With triple talaq, Modi govt has smartly responded to the upsurge among Muslim women

Triple Talaq became a hot issue because Muslim women now refuse to be treated like dumb chattel; BJP has astutely responded to that upsurge, instead of crushing it.

The BJP government must go beyond lip service and work towards true empowerment of women

Effective empowerment of women can be achieved through better implementation of law, 33 percent reservation for women, improved gender ratio in work and education space.

Antitrust watchdog Competition Commission to probe IndiGo flight disruptions

While the commission didn’t mention provisions under which IndiGo's market domination would be examined, Competition Act 2002 prohibits abuse of dominant position by any enterprise.

Israel has ‘realised who its real friend is’, eyes defence expansion in India amid arms curbs by others

It is argued that India-Israel ties are moving from buyer–seller dynamic to one focused on joint development & manufacturing partnership, a shift 'more durable' than traditional arms sales.

India’s top airline just handed sarkar the keys. That’s IndiGo’s real ‘crime’

Don’t blame misfortune. This is colossal incompetence and insensitivity. So bad, heads would have rolled even in the old PSU-era Indian Airlines and Air India.
