As new farmers join protests and new memes are shared, PM Modi’s carefully constructed image of the chaiwallah-to-Lok Kalyan Marg journey is beginning to crack.
Nitish Kumar has mastered the rhythm of renewal in Bihar. In a democracy of churn and chance, endurance may be the rarest—and most refined—form of political art.
While the move could free up grid capacity struggling to keep up with rapid renewable rollout, it would be a major setback for green ambitions. India aims to double clean power capacity to 500 gigawatts by the end of the decade.
This world is being restructured and redrawn by one man, and what’s his power? It’s not his formidable military. It’s trade. With China, it turned on him.
Typical muslim view. The author does not realize that farmer groups have shot themselves in the foot by teaming up with Khalistani elements from abroad and other anti national people in order to get funds. Good for them as long as the money is flowing but they have unwittingly strengthened his position. The whole country is cursing them and farmers cannot be above the country.
The author continently side steps what according to her is the best case scenario for the farmers.
If the govt accepts all demands by the protestors, the best case scenario for them would be sustained poverty. Manufacturing and services sector will keep on growing much faster and these farmers will remain dependent on govt subsidy in form of MSP. By simple arithmatic the govt cannot pay more than the tax it collects from other two sectors. Hence agri sector always lags behind.
The phenomenon she mentions of rich getting richer happens because of agri sector’s resistance to reforms. One can survive but never prosper on subsidy. Middle class and the upper income classes will keep on moving ahead and in a generation current average holding of 2-4 bigha will be cut down in half for the farmers as next generation grows up.
Jihadist posing as journalist ideology must be understood. They are interested in a “SECULAR CONSTITUTION ” till their project of increasing POPULATION at a fast rate to overwhelm HINDUS who are more interested in modern scienctific education is achieved.
Later a pakistan type religious nation where HINDUS will be dealt with like in pakistan is their plan.
Controlling population of all Indians irrespective of religion or caste must be implemented to save INDIA.
Meena Harris in her own self-description on all social media calls herself an entrepreneur and highlights her business ventures more than her credentials as a lawyer. This author says Meena Harris is an esteemed lawyer of the US Supreme Court. The Print should enable some fact checking on the claims made by its opinion writers.
Left to our luddite liberals and selective secularists, Shri Narendra Modi’s image has been going down since 2002, which picked up speed since 2014. However as per Mood of the Nation survey by India Today group, published last month, Shri Narendra Modi has a 74% approval rating. So Begum Zainab Sikandar you can hope all you want and you can write whatever you want, but it is the people of the country who will decide what they want. Please get used to it. It is called democracy.
Well this is a fair criticism when you say that the PM doesn’t know how to handle dissent. His policies have solid reasoning, but there is a poor delivery of this reasoning. E.g. the farmers worry that the new laws would allow corporations to exploit them, something that has been unconstitutional since the Constitution was adopted. The PM has a problem of countering opposing statements. They take too long to counter opposing statements, as they use social media and the internet and send documents explaining their reasoning. These take time to make and send, by that time the statements spiral out of control. What we need is some form of communiqué between the PM and opposing statements that can be countered immediately. The PM needs to create a position of ‘Raisena hills press secretary’ and hire a press secretary. This position will counter opposing statements immediately, as they don’t need to go through the lengthy and time-consuming process of organizing, decorating and releasing documents explaining their reasoning.

Ha ha, don’t want to waste time on commenting.
Shekhar and his team likes to loose and apologies when they get it wrong.
yes unfavourable international commentary. Which is why it was important for Trump to win. Unfortunately he did not, therefore so much scrutiny.

Is this the future she envisages for the Farmers?

People who are on streets didn’t vote for Modi and Modi still doesn’t need their votes in 2024.
