If Modi government intended the envoys to see the situation in Kashmir ‘first-hand’, it needed to do more than letting the diplomats spend 3-4 hours there.
Indian judiciary has a corrosive imbalance between the bar and the bench. Those who supervise the district judiciary do so without the lived experience that is essential for meaningful reform.
With the US-India trade deal yet to get done, rupee depreciation may be helping to mitigate India’s loss of competitiveness. The other problem is extreme despondence among overseas equity investors.
Of the total package, $649 million will be utilised for additional hardware, software, and support services, and the remaining for Major Defence Equipment (MDE).
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.
I thought Ms basu was a well informed and a nuanced journalist..but its sad that she has also started on the same steps as of Ms Jyoti malhotra and Mr gupta…having no idea whatsoever and learning nothing inspite of having much experience and exposure….some print members live in their own make believe world..writing what they want (the narrative to be)…its ABSURD…do they even understand the relationship that the two(modi and shah share)
the equation between EAM jaishankar and modi…?
The understanding between doval and modi?
Like it or not but thats the way it is..MODI is the fulcrum..around which everything moves..and falls into place..
just writing some nonsense to suit the prints narrative is foolish…
The best way to win the world’s support is to restore normalcy to Kashmir at the earliest. Some substantive relief, like restoration of statehood, should certainly be thought of. ( RR : This is a concrete suggestion, not pontification ) How a much needed political dialogue can be started, with the most credible leaders in detention, is a worry. What emotions are coursing through the hearts and heads of ordinary Kashmiris is something that should be uppermost in the minds of decision makers, and not just for the limited, tactical purpose of judging if they will resort to violence. Neither foreign governments nor foreign media are accepting our point of view. They also influence the decisions of foreign investors. 2. A lay citizen cannot decipher the complex decision making matrix that led to 5th August. However, it has not been a successful experiment. One is happy to read that the diplomatic corps is putting its point of view across. Never mind if it is overruled.
The triumvirate of Modi, Shah and Doval are leading the country down a slippery path and embarrassing the country in the comity of nations.
