Why building economic bridges in the neighbourhood matters
With concerns over Chinese strategic relations in South Asia, India should reach out to its neighbours, have better terms of trade with them
Delhi needs coordination across agencies and proactive leadership to fight Covid
The recipe for the earlier successes included close technical coordination between central, state and municipal agencies as well as a proactive political leadership, ably backed by a strong public health establishment of the Municipal Corporation.
There is an irrational preference for expensive Covid treatments over effective ones
In the absence of adequate information, the price of a commodity serves as an indicator of quality for the consumer. Information asymmetry is most acute in healthcare, with the added disadvantage that the providers of care have far greater access to, and understanding of the information.
How India responds to China’s ‘expansionistic tendencies’ will have ramifications for the world
India must take a leadership role in developing a diplomatic and strategic counter to Chinese expansionism.
Wait for the migrant: Once opportunities are there, they will return
Once opportunities are there, migrants will return to the city. But until then, they must not be stopped from going back home. The market should be allowed to work for both industry and labour
The regimes of boundaries: They have multiplied, even as Covid nudges us towards broader discourse of access

Archaic perceptions — not criteria of excellence — determine ratings of colleges
It is not to say that the so-called top colleges in India do not have the drive or the capabilities to excel independently. But for a real assessment, they would need to be freed from inherent structural rigidities and be brought at par with each other.
A three-phase govt project uses COVID policy window for a much needed reform
India’s current gap between the digitisation of the private sector and government often reflects the 1972 Dandekar Committee recommendation that no entity install a computer without first “justifying” its use to employees and their trade unions.
India’s trade agreement with China was one-sided to begin with
If you scrutinise the schedules, you will find non-manufacturing items in China’s miscellaneous list, but many manufactured items in India’s miscellaneous list (light engineering, plastic manufactures, cement, agricultural implements, paper). By any yardstick, the 1954 agreement was one-sided.
Liberty and responsibility: SC rulings on internet restrictions in J&K uphold balanced constitutionalism
The supposed clarion-call of some learned academicians and members of legal fraternity of “abdication of duty by the Supreme Court” seems to have completely missed the hard facts in the Valley.
Pandemic has been devastating for adolescents. Who is caring for children?

Anxiety in China stems from the CPC’s insecurity
It is an anxiety that spreads as quickly as a virus and is probably harder to get rid of. An anxiety of Chinese characteristics that other countries around the world must be careful not to catch.
Sanctions by India alone will hardly sting China. There’s a need to think beyond trade barriers
The ongoing crisis opens a window for New Delhi to reset relations with China. New Delhi’s trade policy needs to be alive to the imperative of higher growth, which can be achieved only through more, not less, globalisation.
