Hingorani was one of only three female lawyers practicing in the Supreme Court in her time, and changed Indian jurisprudence by filing the first PIL in 1979.
Driving an electric vehicle for months, the Hyundai IONIQ5, BMW iX and now the Kia Carens Clavis electric, has convinced me of the viability of EVs for city and mid-range commutes.
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.
Atmanribhar Bharat is why we have Covaxin – which required no imports.
The fact that there is a Oxygen shortage in Delhi due to lack of adequate cryogenic tankers and storage facilities is because no where in the world is the case load so high and the demands so great. Claiming that no efforts were made since last year is a total lie considering that in 2021 we are self sufficient in PPE, self sufficient in Remdesevir, self sufficient in Vaccine development and self sufficient in anti-virals, making ventilators domestically besides other medical equipment.
No other country has as much access to vaccines barring the US. Also, the number of vaccines being given so far also outstrips any developing nation and most developed nations.
Atmanirbhar Bharat is supposed to be every left-wingers wet dream come true. However, they will still criticize it simply because it came from Modi.
The true essence of the program is(at least one hopes it is) to cut down our over reliance on imports from China. Classic example being that of pharma APIs, no reason why we cannot end our reliance on the Chinese, which was the case till a few years ago.
Using the pulse occimeter example or any other similar comparison in the short run will be flawed.
Seher ka waqt hai, aur jaam mein sharaab nahin. There are simply not enough doses of vaccine. Either to support the initial programme, which should have been one crore jabs a day by now. Or the tossed away to the states 18 – 44 years programme, which CM Jagan Reddy of AP has said cannot start before September. A ToI edit says ramping up of domestic manufacture will take three months. 2. The cost of not vaccinating swiftly enough will be the economic recovery destroying lockdowns. The maddening funeral pyres that never stop burning. 3. The media should continue to report diligently. The post Bobde judiciary is playing its assigned constitutional role. Lekin yeh kaam toh executive ka hai. Karna chahiye. India is beyond PR and spin.
Brilliant OTC with BMC Commissioner Shri I S Chahal. The only issue on which he turned diplomatic is the availability of vaccine doses. A two to three month enterprise to vaccinate the city. Imagine an India in which everyone has had her second dose, hardly anyone getting infected thereafter. We can wave aside the third wave if and when it comes. There should now be a laser like focus on producing the required two billion doses of vaccines.
Like five wise men doing an MRI scan of small parts of an elephant’s body, no one really has the full measure of what Aatma Nirbharta means. By all accounts, import substitution, a historically invalidated concept. Reflected in exports wallowing in a trough of $ 300 billion, exclusion from global manufacturing chains, not joining RCEP. 2. China is the world’s factory. The composition of its exports is steadily moving to more advanced products. We need to accept the facts of life while dealing with China, in both the economic and the strategic spheres. 3. As an Indian, must say, foreign aid hurts. That is the negation of Aatma Nirbharta which we should be more concerned with.

Soli Sorabjee, Fali Nariman, Nani Palkhivala, we grew up hearing these great names. Rest in peace.
Outsized role of the Parsi community in India that even the Jews, with all their achievements, cannot match in the US
