Prepare to deal with the dealmaker
In your weekly column for The Indian ExpressFormer Union Finance Minister P Chidambaram has given a clear depiction of the Democratic upheaval that threatened the global upheaval for fuel by the disruptive policies of US President Donald Trump. After taking office in less time than a few months ago, Trump has already rolled a wave of radical decisions.
For eight decades, the US was considered the leader of the independent, democratic countries and the world system, despite the disaster and misunderstanding. Many world institutions were set up to carry forward the cause of peace, education, healthcare and human rights. However, in barely eight weeks under Mr. Trump, the US has left WHO and threatened to quit or stop the Funding of the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) and the United Nations Relief and Working Agency (UNRWA). Mr. Trump has closed USAID and brought dozens of programs worldwide. He can leave NATO and leave European colleagues.
P Chidambaram, for Indian Express
In detail on Trump’s end -political outcomes, Chidambaram explains how India’s strategic position will now face increasing challenges. The nation may be pressurized itself to buy more USA-built military equipment, while enlarged tariffs, banned access to the US market and a weak bricks may soon become a rigid reality.
Why Congress should die for a shot in revival
In true chaklanik fashion, Verma of former diplomat Pavan said that the Indian National Congress should first be ‘dead’ for rebirth-that is, to undergo a deep, all-target change. Winning 99 seats in the Lok Sabha can be a smokscreen, the author argues in himself. Deccan Chronicle The piece, as the party’s performance is continuously weakening in major states.
Instead of predictive Chintas, what is necessary in the upcoming AICC session is harsh inquiry and fundamental change. Currently the party is around a strange penmbra’s neck: it is not yet dead, but far from being alive. The time to work to change this situation qualitatively, and starting the process of creating a new Congress, may not be delayed further. One can be started in the next AICC session.
Pawan’s Verma for Deccan Chronicle,
While charting a commendable roadmap for the revival of the Congress, Verma highlighted the need for a structural overhaul contrary to the superficial reforms. The upcoming AICC session in Aurangabad, therefore, considers important importance.

Although the major performance of the Indian men’s cricket team in the ICC Champions Trophy silenced the mourning of unfair advantage, writing for historian Mukul Kesavan, WireUnderlines the need for pressure for sympathy and humility, especially given the country’s previous conflicts against the dynamics of the power power.
BCCI may want to remember that cricket is a small game globally. In major cricket countries outside South Asia, it is a game among many people, which is competing for the eyeball with football, rugby, Australian rules football and tennis. To remain a reliable international sport, cricket requires a level playground. The pride of contemporary cricket is that a country like New Zealand can vacate India at home; BCCI is two hundred and fifty times rich than the New Zealand Cricket Board. If international cricket is seen as BCCI’s rotten boro, it will lose its credibility and with it, its uncertain hold on public imagination. India can be left to play with them: India A vs India B, Z or all routes of IPL, perhaps, year round.
Mukul Kesavan for Telegraph,
India’s financial clout may shape the structure of international cricket, and the man on the hull may be the son of Home Minister Amit Shah, J Shah Shah. He said, “Kesavan argues against the game becoming Indian monopoly, as it is a risk of separating the global audience.”
India is running out of time
Pillar Tawlen Singh, in its piece The Indian ExpressDespite a democratic benefit, India’s important human development is wide on the crisis. Drawing the equality of China, Leo outlines the struggles faced by Indian youth, the most shiny expertise and lack of malnutrition.
In this era, when Artificial Intelligence has started competing with human intelligence, most Indians leave college without the qualifications necessary to become employable. Is it a wonder that young human smugglers from our richest states pay small fate that promises to take them to better countries? Ever since Donald Trump has returned to the White House in a few weeks, some of these desperate young Indians have been sent back to India in chains and fetus. Other people have been saved from slavery in Chinese scam factories in Thailand where they are forced to commit digital crimes.
Tawlen Singh for Indian Express
Moving beyond India’s quantitative catbard seat as qualitative qualifications, foreign investors are turning to East Asian countries for a more efficient workforce. Shouldn’t our youth be equipped with qualifications to compete globally, aided by early reforms, India’s youth population cannot translate into a powerful economic property for the nation.
News, fake news and news in gray
In her column for Deccan HeraldWriter Nigam Nuggehalli investigated the government’s challenging effort to control fake news and the spread of gray news, amidst dilemma of curbing misunderstandings, is also not to ensure freedom of expression.
There are real reports, fake news, and then there are a lot of gray news in the middle – the news that are to come true, but some have been thrown into false, or the news that is somewhat false, but it has some truths with bombs. The government, no government, does not like fake news anywhere. But what bothers them is gray news. What really makes them apoplactic, is the political comedy, which is the most confusing type of gray news, as it passes as entertainment as entertainment as entertainment as entertainment.
Nigam Nuggehalli for Deken Herald
A preventive measure was the formation of a fact check unit (FCU) under the IT Act, although comedian Kunal Kamra has invalidated its authority after transferring the Bombay High Court. Meanwhile, platforms like Elon Musk’s X are now focused on user-borne contexts to challenge false information-a approach that changes responsibility from governments to communities. Time will tell if such a model will be impressive.
Toilet etiquette? Indian women get a butts deal
In a bizarre, however, unfortunately, not unprecedented-phenomenon, a Delhi-bound Air India flight had to return to Chicago due to 8 out of 8 of the 10 toilets of the aircraft. Although it may look like just one more episode in the string of Air India’s misfortune (a similar incident for Frankfurt Flight in 2014), Writing for Creative Director Hari Checker The Times of IndiaThe argument is that this issue reflects a more disturbing reality – the old disregard of India for cleanliness etiquette.
As people insist on finding a good place to park their cars, women have to constantly worry about finding a toilet that they can use, for general movements and when they need to change menstrual pads or cups. Women working in private offices pray for separate washrooms for men and women. Unisex toilets are the worst for them, things make horror films. Imagine that the plight of a woman married in the family of all men. Such unnecessary stress on such basic.
Hari Checker for Times of India
Drawing on the anecdote of women who remember their travel struggles due to lack of cleanliness awareness, the author advises immediate measures to improve toilet infrastructure and sanitary cognition in India.
Effects the law to beg
In an executive order recently issued, District Collector of Bhopal called Section 163 (2) Bharatiya Nagrik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (BNSS) to ban begging in public places. Write for Hindustan TimesSneha Priya Yanappa – Team Lead for the Vidhi Center for Legal Policy – Determines the fundamental flaws of the order.
The order states that traffic signals include many beggars involved in criminal activities and accustomed to drugs – a weak and vague allegation as a criminal group to painting beggars. It revalces the colonial mindset in its equality for the Criminal Tribes Act, 1871, whose foundation is in criminalization through the association. The law eliminates beggars from the roads under the guise of begging, by vesting unexpected discretionary on enforcement agencies. This does not distinguish between individuals engaged in begging due to the requirement and criminal networks are organized criminal networks that take advantage of beggars.
Sneha Priya Yanappa for Hindustan Times
Janappa argues that the order is similar to colonial performance, with purely unheard generalization on charges of participation of beggars in criminal activities and addiction of drugs. More severe, it stands directly in contradiction with the Central Government’s Welfarist policies. In particular, Bhopal is one of the 81 cities, where there is a plan to facilitate the rehabilitation of beggars and their reconsideration in society – operating.
The underbelley of a picture-a-picture India
The newly constructed Kashi Vishwanath Corridor was conceived as a modern facelift for the holy city of Varanasi, and has been successful in providing more space for the congregation. Nevertheless, a striking architecture is mismatched, with red sandstone with Delhi and Mughal architecture, inspired the novelist Anand Neelkantan to raise a relevant issue in himself. The New Indian Express Column – Why does the country fail to achieve the architectural cleverness achieved centuries ago?
Indians touch about criticism, but there is nothing but condemnation and contempt of callus attitude. This is not a problem of Kashi alone, but most of the country are pilgrims. Even for darshan, there is a place to fight in queues, misbehave, stretch, attack, queue and jostel.
Anand Nilakantan for the new Indian Express,
Offering the first hand of chaos and dirt, which he had seen, was full of garbage and being polluted with the holy Ganges waste, the author asked to restore the ancient cities of India, as contrary to the creation of a politically inspired glasses.
Power brake: When heavy conditions slow down development cart
Write for Deccan HeraldJournalist and politician Ashwin Mahesh caught the Indian economy and unpacked the Catch -22 status. Due to the rarity of jobs and continuous inflation, the government may have taken pre-deficiency measures such as taxes, but it could prove to be inadequate against the deep roots of the country against economic complications.
We will not achieve much if we take steps without admitting that there is a problem with inconsistent power provided by the government, and that citizens and markets also matter a lot. Without such acknowledgment, public and business see every new decision only as the latest in a long list of ad hoc measures made to suit this moment. And in future, another round of arbitrary decisions can erase whatever benefits have been promised by these recent people.
Ashwin Mahesh for Deccan Herald
To take the central government into a bus with a big break, but no accelerator, Mahesh called a strong kingdom and a low market is at the center of the country’s economic challenges. They argue that the solution lies in decentralization, advocating the shift of power for local councils and small businesses.
