Countering insurgency needs the Pakistan Army to demonstrate a political will that ties leaders at the centre with those in the borderlands. But it may not have the imagination.
Centre for Science and Environment in new report makes case for rationalising GST on waste material, saying most informal operators can’t afford high tax & it also hinders recycling.
21st edition of annual joint military exercise will be held from 1 to 16 September, aimed at sharing military tech, operational best practices & disaster relief coordination methods.
Standing up to America is usually not a personal risk for a leader in India. Any suggestions of foreign pressure unites India behind who they see as leading them in that fight.
About the ridiculous fortification around Delhi, maybe the Modi-Shah government knows something that we don’t. Maybe there’s a threat of an ACTUAL COUP!!
A paperless Budget brings back childhood memories from Poona. The official document would be sent from Delhi by registered post, a few days in advance. An act of implicit faith in the integrity / infallibility of the postal department, since in those days the document contained far more sensitive information than it does today. It would be placed in the office safe. It was only after father and his colleagues heard the FM start making his speech on their transistor that they would open the parcel with due ceremony. Then would begin a rush to contact all the manufacturers who had dutiable goods in their godowns, which might attract changed rates from midnight.
The situation / face off with the farmers is unravelling. Not heading towards an outcome where wide ranging agricultural reforms, leading eventually to change of cropping patterns, can be expected to succeed. Straining the social fabric, including in Punjab, at a time of external peril. In practical terms, there is little difference between an eighteen month stay and a repeal. In either contingency, new laws will be re-enacted, through a process of wider consultation. A time for both statecraft and statesmanship.
The number of seats in the Lok Sabha for different states has been frozen as per the 1971 census, now due for reconsideration.There is a compelling case for extending that indefinitely, perhaps coterminous with the duration of the policy of reservations. In the intervening period, one set of states has produced more GDP, the other more citizens. Setting up a creative tension between them. So one applauds the Finance Commission.
THREATENED BLOCKED OF A CITY IS ACT OF WAR and MUST BE DELT WITH AS SUCH.
If one chooses to call it politics yes it is LOUSY POLITICS played with sticks and weaponized tractors.
