Congress needs to give Priyanka a role outside UP
Not long after Priyanka Gandhi Vadra took complete charge of Uttar Pradesh as Congress general secretary and got into campaign mode, the country's attention span was consumed by the Covid-19 pandemic. Yet her active interventions in Hathras and Sonbhadra got her noticed. And at the peak of the migrant crisis, her offer of buses to transport the affected people to their homes, earned her kudos.
Geopolitical indicators India cannot ignore
In that equation the present profile of Pakistan is important for India in determining the latter's strategic framework. The two Presidents were expansive about defining their domestic and international policies that makes it easy to identify the thrust areas of their future approach and have an idea of how in their own ways the two countries were visualising their role as a superpower.
The confused US withdrawal from Afghanistan
As of May 1, 139 pro-government and 44 civilians had lost their lives in just a week alone. On April 14, 2021, President Joe Biden promised to end the "Forever war" by announcing a full US pullout on September 11, 2021, largely out of symbolism to commemorate the 20th year of the GWOT. But soon after the announcement, it is becoming apparent that the US has not thought through the larger implications of this decision.
Why Amit Shah was given additional charge of Ministry of Cooperation?
The ministry of cooperation has been created to provide a separate administrative, legal and policy framework to strengthen the cooperative movement in the country and will help deepen cooperatives as a true people based movement reaching up to the grassroots. Union Home Minister Amit Shah has been given additional charge of the newly created Ministry of Cooperation, has long been associated with the cooperative societies in Gujarat.
Indian education system needs remodelling
Education is a journey, which gives the art of living, not just the livelihood. It makes us learn how to nurture our life and be more creative. Education makes us understand our conflicts. Thus, education is not merely learning of facts but is to train our mind to think. Education systems must provide opportunities to each and every individual to learn through experience.
Theatre Commands: Is India on right path, at right time?
India must first bring up its asset availability up to a point that they can be distributed as first priority, with indigenous technology and hardware by self-reliance, which is a work in progress. Everyone needs focus on capacity building at this time under discernible 'Two Front Threat', rather than igniting debates on Apex level Restructuring.
Pakistan enhanced drone capabilities during India-China border dispute
The security threat from armed drones allegedly coming from Pakistan in the border areas of Jammu and Kashmir has increased, and the drone attack at the Indian Air Force station in Jammu on June 27 is the best example of that.
Agni-P spearheads India's major naval revamp to deter China
Potentially, the missile would be able to target Chinese aircraft carriers, and blunt their cutting edge in the future. From an Indian perspective, this is all the more necessary as Chinese state-run media in the past has argued that Beijing must have six aircraft carriers by 2035. Analysts see the Agni-P as an equaliser to China's DF-21D missiles customised to attack aircraft carriers.
Sri Lanka morphing into 'Xi-Lanka'?
CPC-funded projects in Sri Lanka are executed by Chinese entities and undertaken using equipment, machinery, and material from China. A significant proportion of labour and most of the top management is also from China. In effect, while Sri Lanka pays for the project, plough-back is into Chinese coffers.
Delimitation Commission meeting will set ball rolling in Jammu and Kashmir
During the all party meeting, despite differences over issues like restoration of statehood before the assembly election and the release/shifting of prisoners, there was unanimity among participants that J&K should have an elected government sooner than later. Modi assured that the delimitation commission would be asked to speed up its process so that elected representatives are able to run the affairs of J&K.
