India & Fake News: Can Govt Spare Extra Effort & Let Fact Checkers Do Their Job?

[ Originally published in The Quint, January 21st, 2023 ] [ View PDF ][ View on Academia ]

The government’s concern at the circulation of patently false news items is quite understandable as there is a noticeable rise in the visibility of such items circulating on the social media. In fact, 2023 is the tenth year since this new weapon was added to the arsenal of India’s major political parties. These items stir up emotions, for or against the regime, and whip up rage at perceived attacks and insults on one’s religion. There are clear reasons to assume that several hordes of people or teams must be working overtime to disseminate them in order to raise the temperature in people’s minds with these distortions of the truth.

How in First Eight Years of Modi Government, Nearly Rs 12 Lakh Crore ‘Disappeared'

[ Originally published in The Wire, January 16th, 2023 ] [ View PDF ][ View on Academia ]

There are reasons to believe that some 12 lakh crore rupees have been systematically siphoned off from banks in the first 8 years of Narendra Modi’s rule — mainly by big corporate borrowers,. This was/is done quite ‘legitimately’ by taking loans for units and then getting them written off as unrecoverable non-performing assets (NPAs) The scale of that is 4 to 6 times higher than the internationally accepted norm. Obviously such a massive but smooth operation is simply not possible without complete political backing. Every GM, ED or CMD of a bank knows that when he is told by someone representing the core of political power “to lend to X”, he jolly well does it.

In Arun Goel’s Appointment, Paperwork Can’t Paper Over Surgical Strike on Due Process

They are caught playing around with the time-tested established principles and procedures of good and fair governance.

In a democracy, public affairs are no one’s personal fiefdom, though those in power often get their way in, say, getting someone into a position. But even here, the rules of eligibility must permit or be stretched to cover the executive’s will, or be vague enough not to stand in the way.

The Ramayana tradition and Indian secularism

[ Originally published in The New Indian Express, January 21st, 2021 ] [ View PDF ]

Two recent news stories about Ram from two extremes of India, Ayodhya and Ram Setu, would have caught one’s attention. Where Ayodhya is concerned, the Pandora’s box had actually been opened long ago, in December 1949, when KKK Nair, the not-so-secular district magistrate of Faizabad, facilitated the sudden ‘appearance’ of Ram-Sita images inside Babri Masjid.

India Needs to Hit Back at Trump but Not on Russian Oil

[ Originally published in The Wire, August 10th, 2022 ] [ View PDF ][ View on Academia ][ View on ResearchGate ]

Now that US President Donald Trump is getting more overbearing by the day, Prime Minister Modi has, at last, decided to stand up to him. No self-respecting nation can exist at the mercy of another and India has a track record of standing up to American hegemony and its Seventh Fleet gunboats and paying the price for them. Remember former Prime Minister Indira ticking off Nixon-Kissinger or even Vajpayee going ahead with his Pokhran II nuclear demolition?

'Agnipath' Adds To Modi's List Of Inglorious Blunders

[ Originally published in NDTV.com, June 20th, 2022 ] [ View PDF ][ View on Academia ]

As fire and protests rage across the country, one is reminded of the utter lawlessness that Hobbes, Locke and Rousseau, the three classical political philosophers of the 17th and 18th centuries had referred to as the 'state of nature'. Things are not yet so bad, thankfully so, in spite of scenes of thousands of the unemployed young torching millions' worth of public property. They are up against the new Agnipath scheme that seeks to recruit some 45,000 short-time 'soldiers' into the army on a contractual basis. Modi's India has not seen such a worrisome breakdown of law and order, one that is so expressly violent and widespread in so many states.

An Unrelenting Patriot

[ Originally published in Millennium Post, June 5th, 2022 ] [ View PDF ][ View on Academia ]

The Sangh's mouthpiece, Swaraj, in its issue of June 23, 2019, insists that Syama Prasad Mookerjee had actually saved Hindu Bengalis from "imminent annihilation", and its powerful social media repeats this claim incessantly. The PM renamed Kolkata Port Trust in his name and there appears a renewed interest in Mookerjee — the founder of the Bharatiya Jana Sangh that later metamorphosed into the Bharatiya Janata Party. As the son of the most powerful Vice Chancellor of Calcutta University — Sir Ashutosh Mookerjee — Syama Prasad's academic achievements were under a bit of a cloud in the 1920s.

The Bulldozer Is the Latest Symbol of Toxic Masculinity to Create Havoc in the Populace

[ Originally published in The Wire, May 13th, 2022 ] [ View PDF ][ View on Academia ]

The bulldozer style of saffron politics has provoked quite a few articles from different angles, but we may like to look at the juggernaut vehicle as the latest expression of toxic masculinity – something which was quite evident in its predecessors, the horse, the motorcycle and the speedster car.

So, let’s begin with the horse. From amidst the wealth of literature on the relationship between man and the horse, we zoom directly into Adrienne C. Frie’s report in the Oxford Journal of Archaeoolgy in October 2017, on an archaeological examination of burial ground culture at a site in Slovenia.

Modi Govt’s New IAS Rules Is Another Tactic To Attack Opposition Govts.

At the time of writing this, nine Chief Ministers have already opposed the Prime Minister’s proposal to amend Rule 6 of the Indian Administrative Service (IAS) Cadre Rules of 1954. More states are likely to join the chorus of protest, thereby triggering a fresh round of Centre-state bitterness.
