Decoding RBI’s decision to withdraw Rs 2000 banknotes from circulation

RBI on May 19 decided to withdraw Rs 2000 banknotes from circulation. However, this decision is not similar to what happened in November 2016.

Why a codified law needed to control population

Just like India always needed a written Constitution or a codified Criminal Law, which has power to punish any violations, it also needs a codified law on population control. This law has to have clear provisions on the number of children a particular family can have India, the place where the earliest civilisation began, is […]

कोरोना वायरस महामारी के राजनीतिक और आर्थिक दुष्परिणाम अब स्पष्ट रूप से दिखाई देने लगे हैं। कुछ हफ्ते पहले, ब्रिटेन की उन्नत अर्थव्यवस्था में राजकोषीय नीति में किए गए एक परिवर्तन ने बॉन्ड और शेयर बाजारों में भारी वैश्विक गिरावट की शुरूआत कर दी थी। देश की नवनियुक्त प्रधानमंत्री ने अपने ‘मिनी बजट’ में बिना […]

Merging the Amar Jawan Jyoti flame was a course correction

Amar Jawan Jyoti flame was the true mark of valour, and it deserved a place at the National War Memorial, not underneath the India Gate, a Colonial-era war memorial. First thing first. India is not the only country globally that has a memorial of national importance to commemorate war heroes. The Cenotaph, in London, England, […]

Hindutva is ‘oneness’, Hindutva is inclusive development

Hindutva seeks to instil in all the inhabitants of India, cutting across faiths, a sense of national pride and belonging to a common, beloved, progressive culture. Balkanization can be the last thing any nation or society would ever want. Home to adherents of all major religions of the world, India is a great nation. The […]

BSF’s jurisdiction changes is a judicious step in the right direction

The latest notification concerning the BSF’s jurisdiction is a step in the right direction. It is a timely and calculated measure to tackle new risks facing national security The problem is not the persistent false narrative of the Opposition; it is the Left-wing media’s tradition of overlooking critical aspects.

Time is now for like-minded, upright politicians to back the BJP

Sovereignty and territorial integrity matter. Sans them, a society is nothing more than a permanent settlement vulnerable to upheavals. Likewise, armed forces and law enforcement agencies protecting the borders and upholding laws of the land within the borderline also matter. Besides social well-being, which is shaped by inter-personal relations, the above-stated elements safeguard the economic […]

Rebuttal to the International Press on India’s handling of Covid-19

Let’s turn the clock back to 2020. For many months, the world’s top health body, WHO, unequivocally discouraged the wearing of face masks by the general public. The argument was that it would inculcate a ‘false sense of security in the person wearing a mask. In June 2020, however, and after three months of having […]

Is Enough Being Done To Fight Economic Offences?

The fight against economic offences is still on, and the results are there to see, both in droves and trickles.

The Central government in […]

Does Anti-Hindu Secularism Call For A Review?

The Central government needs to take up India’s anti-Hindu Secularism for review to address the apprehensions of the Hindus across the country. In its days of glory, the landmass of Hindustan had included several of its neighbouring countries with which it is currently sharing borders, to form a homogenous culture. It is home to the […]

The challenges to ‘Secularism’ and the need to implement NRC to preserve it

The most serious challenge to Secularism springs from the ignorance of the silent majority of the Hindus about the impending probability of their becoming a minority community in their own country. Prime Minister Narendra Modi should not participate in the Bhumi Pujan ceremony of the Ram Mandir construction at Ayodhya. And the State-owned national broadcaster […]

India’s Post-COVID Priorities

Prioritisation of the tasks ahead is imperative, and their implementation should be taken up with a benign attitude to ensure that no issue is left out or excluded.

A saga of mistakes: Misadventures and policy fiascos of Congress governments of the past

The laundry list of several other goof-ups involving the Congress governments is practically endless, including the numerous terror attacks carried out by Pakistani terror outfits like LeT, JeM, etc in the Indian heartland, and the dastardly attack on the Indian Parliament, to name a few. Even as the Indian National Congress (INC) inherited, by default, […]

China versus Rest of the World

It is evident that China is fast losing friends, besides the US, in Europe too. With its expansionist agenda becoming more and more pronounced, it is a question of time before China is totally cut off from the international community and gets branded a pariah state. Is it possible for someone to “gang up” against […]

India-China Face-off in Ladakh and the nexus between CCP and Congress

The Congress-CCP nexus and the proximity of the Congress first family to top Chinese leadership do not add up to any good for our country. Unfortunately for the CCP, the Congress Party is not in power currently India has learnt the hard way that there is much more to a war than a flare-up of […]

Time To Review Or Abrogate Article 30 Of Indian Constitution

Abrogation of Article 30 of the Constitution is a vital move in the State’s war against the fundamentalists used as a cat’s paw by Pakistan and the other external enemies to destroy our nation.

Illegal Muslim Immigrants from Bangladesh Pose a Serious Threat to India’s Internal Security

Illegal Immigrantion is a ticking time bomb of serious demographic changes and communal clashes in India, as proved by the recent anti-CAA protests across the country.

Will Covid-19 Global Tragedy Spell the Death of Communism?

China’s unbridled hegemonistic ambition has led to its landing in the doghouse in the new world order. As the epicentre of one of the greatest threats to humanity, Communism is likely to fall apart under its own weight. Communism is on borrowed time. Its epitaph has long been ready. It is already discredited throughout the […]

Woman’s Empowerment And Women Protesting On The Streets

India-Iran Bilateral Relations At Crossroads

India and Iran could move on with a bit more of understanding of each other’s domestic and global political compulsions and the need to work together. Iran has lately been hit by a double whammy of a monumental health crisis and an unsavoury turn of events in its bilateral relations with India. What makes the […]

Should Active Politics Be Banned In Academia?

The modern Indian universities may be characterised as the training fields of those scholars whose ambition for the future lies in a career in politics rather than in spheres related to academics. Universities are no new phenomenon in post-Independence India. Throughout its chequered history, India had been known for its seats of higher learning such […]

Degeneration Of Indian Democracy Into Anarchy

Democracy will not be allowed to degenerate into anarchy by the determined people and the Government of India.  In a cruel twist of history, Indian Independence did not bring in its wake freedom from a prolonged sense of slavery and subjugation. What resulted at the end of a century-old back-to-back rule by bloodthirsty warlords from […]

China’s Culpability Is Real, It’s Not China’s Criticism

Politics involves criticism, sometimes justified and sometimes unfounded. Rationality, on the other hand, involves fixing accountability. The adverse impact of COVID-19, the infectious disease that originated in the Wuhan city of China, is out in the open. Recalling a time when the world halted as it is currently is not easy. Passenger airplanes are grounded […]

Governance and Innovations amidst Crises
