A time for supreme reformSubscriber Only
August 30, 2020 04:00 IST
So far as fundamental rights are concerned, the Supreme Court is the sentinel on the qui vive. That role can be performed only if the court is fiercely independent and that independence can be preserved and demonstrated only if some major reforms are undertaken.

Mr Pilot is not cut from the same cloth as the BJP is, or so we believed. He should have channelled all his energies to help the people fight the pandemic as well as get the state’s economy back on its feet.

Way to Depsang or Doklam?Subscriber Only
July 19, 2020 04:05 IST
The ‘no troops land’ (akin to a no man’s land) may lead to peace and tranquillity on the border, but it will not resolve the border question. It is obvious that some kind of buffer zone is being created.

Debacle of summit diplomacySubscriber Only
July 12, 2020 03:50 IST
The fallout for India is a diplomatic disaster, a military setback (at least temporarily) and a complete wipe-out of the gains since 1993.

If the Finance Ministry is so sanguine, why does it not predict positive GDP growth in 2020-21? The MoF dare not!

P Chidambaram writes: Over the years, the Supreme Court, like any other institution and like in any other country, stumbled on occasion, but quickly lifted itself, dusted the sand, and strode like a colossus.

If there is no additional borrowing, there can be no additional expenditure, no fiscal stimulusSubscriber Only
May 17, 2020 04:00 IST
On May 12, the Prime Minister grabbed the headline with the announcement of a Rs 20 lakh crore Economic Stimulus Package — but left the page blank! Beginning May 13, the Finance Minister started giving out the ‘details’ of the package. The people left fuming were the farmers; migrants; and workers.

Hoarding government, starving peopleSubscriber Only
April 26, 2020 03:30 IST
In a country where malnutrition is entrenched, especially among children, there is the danger of hunger becoming widespread too. TV, print and social media are full of anecdotal evidence that many families are going hungry and some are starving.

Revival of the economy requires ideas, a plan, and effective implementationSubscriber Only
April 19, 2020 00:08 IST
A talent-short government, if it is serious, will constitute a Task Force consisting of economists like Dr Raghuram Rajan, Dr Arvind Panagariya, Dr Esther Duflo, Dr Arvind Subramanian, Dr Isaac Thomas, Dr Himanshu, Dr Jean Dreze and Dr Sajjid Chinoy to recommend a hundred things that have to be done.

Unpreparedness has been the hallmark of Modi government since the first Covid-19 caseSubscriber Only
March 29, 2020 02:30 IST
Not only was the country not prepared for a nationwide lockdown, even the Central government was unprepared. How can one otherwise explain the fact that the Economic Task Force announced by the PM on March 19 has not been constituted so far?
