Modi government’s efforts to revitalise bamboo trade do not address the issue of bamboo waste and its commercial utilisation, which is the key to its success.
Modern cities have come to produce tremendous quantities of data. Understanding this data will give India a new level of understanding of the urban ecology.
The Atal Bihari Vajpayee government’s disinvestment record has still not been matched by any government. UPA government’s record has been relatively pathetic.
There is very little Delhi, Haryana or Punjab can do on their own to clean the air. Local air pollution control mechanisms are bound to be ineffective.
Modi government's disinvestment decision is already facing stiff opposition from employees of BPCL, Container Corporation of India, and even the Swadeshi lobby.
When Modi factor is absent in states, Amit Shah's election machinery also fails. 'Masterstrokes' like installing CMs from non-dominant groups come to a naught.
Moksha Kazmi-Khajuria, a Jammu Hindu who converted to Islam to marry a Kashmiri Muslim businessman, was recommended for J&K High Court judgeship on 15 October.
The issue of inequality has assumed the blazing limelight at a time when inequality in India is said to be higher than it was in the British Raj. It's a ripe situation for half-truths and incendiary statements.
Speaking at launch of economist Surjit Bhalla’s book, S Jaishankar also highlights Gen Z’s engagement with ‘reel culture’, which has 'promoted awareness, created interest in many subjects'.
Germany’s erstwhile Christian Democratic Union govt, led by Angela Merkel, prevented sale of small arms to police forces in states they perceived had ‘bad human rights record’.
A theme has not yet emerged for BJP & people see lack of a contest, which makes it unexciting. For all these reasons, 2024 is turning out to be an unexpectedly theme-less election.
Another article from another NRI who is not aware of ground realities. No mention of the political parties involvement in University student unions and the increase in number of student unions as well as number of political parties which statistically would explain the rise in student’s movements.
The greater the literacy rate, per capita income, advancing technology & increasing federalism & regionalism, the greater is the chance for dissent and demonstration.
The author also forgets that pre-independence too, there were many students’ movement.
THE PRINT should please get authors who can write comprehensively and objectively. All your NRI articles just shows their glaring bias and lack of exposure to ground realities in India.
Many of them remind me of our CM Jaganmohan Reddy, who probably never rode a motorcycle in his adulthood and thinks toll is paid for 2 wheelers. Both his children study in foreign countries. You will probably be inviting them next to write your articles.
The current protesting students are mostly Muslims. This in the eyes of the Modi government is not acceptable. Muslims should know their place in Indian society and not try to go beyond that.
That may not be entirely true. Within hours, students of IIT Bombay were protesting, despite being restrained by their authorities. Most remarkably, IIM A, which sees the world in USD. The tectonic plates on which our national politics rests have begun to move.
That the plates are moving is for sure. And I’m glad for it.
But com’on, you want to take away the credit away from the Muslim students even for this? Sure other participated, but it was mainly a Muslim protest. And for obvious reasons.
How many Hindus died in the firing, and how many Muslims? That should answer your point.
Here are the names of the people killed. The majority are Muslims.
The response to the largely spontaneous protests displays two qualities : brittleness and fragility. Not the lithe, rippling grace and power of a leopard. 2. All communication has been one way, didactic, seeking to overwhelm by shock and awe. Not a genuine conversation with the people in whom sovereignty and power reside in a democracy. The media – which as a practical matter represents the people’s right to question – has been muzzled. The Opposition not given its due as a government in waiting. 3. All of this could have been understood and condoned if the orchard had been filled with trees groaning under the weight of the most fragrant Devgarh Alphonso mangoes.
