Many of today’s aspiring political scientists use the course as a tool to crack the civil services code, thereby losing the loftier goals at the heart of the discipline.
Hinduism is noted for its incredible diversity and its widely admired spirit of tolerance and respect for other faiths and cultures.
It is the blatant objectification of women in these tweets that is deeply troublesome, and not merely because women such as I don’t prefer our appearance being compared to poorly prepared Indian food items. The plea, rather, is against the sermon by men on what ‘completes’ a woman’s look.
The concept of ‘cumulative radicalisation’ given by the British historian, Sir Ian Kershaw, to explain the horrors of Nazi Germany is a useful mechanism to explain India’s plunge towards the kind of violence and persecution that has been the hallmark of the Narendra Modi regime.
The majority in India must talk about its insensitivity to the pain of those it considers ‘others’.
In the name of spurring ‘growth’ and ‘employment’ the Modi government has decisively reduced taxes levied on big business while increasing the burden on common people through direct and indirect taxation.
Separating electricity from the wires that transmit is a crazy dream of a few market fundamentalists. The Modi government is attempting this failed policy again, and state-owned distribution companies and consumers will suffer.
Amartya Sen in ‘Poverty and Famines’ attributes starvation to many other variables rather than just a decline in availability of food. He uses the failure of exchange entitlements to study famines. We can apply this theory to explain the hunger crisis in India.
Henri Louis Vivian Derozio (1809-31) came in the Bengal’s intellectual horizon for a very brief period like a volcano and made a tremendous impact among the Bengali youth. However, today, Bengalis have forgotten Derozio.
The Tatas’ acquisition of Air India threatens to create an oligopoly in the Indian aviation market. The sale is being ostensibly justified by Air India’s bleeding losses that were, in fact, caused by deliberate and egregious neglect of India’s oldest airline under liberalisation.
