Harpal Singh Bedi - 2023-12-14 13:53
New Delhi: India's hope of making it to the final went up in smoke as they muffed chances galore and lost 1-4 to favourite Germany in the semi-finals of the Junior Hockey World Cup in Kuala Lumpur on Thursday.

SUPREME COURT VERDICT UPHOLDING ABROGATION OF ARTICLE 370 POSES A THREAT TO FEDERAL PRINCIPLES

CHIEF JUSTICE D Y CHANDRACHUD HAS BELIED THE HOPES THAT HE RAISED AT THE TIME OF JOINING
P. Sudhir - 2023-12-14 12:00
The Supreme Court judgment on the abrogation of Article 370 of the Constitution and the dismantling of the state of Jammu and Kashmir into two union territories is an egregious example of the constitutional court capitulating to the misuse of powers by the executive. Four years after the event, the three concurrent judgments of the five-member constitution bench, headed by the chief justice of India, have larger and long-lasting implications that strike at the roots of federalism and states’ rights.

UNEMPLOYED YOUTHS INTRUDING PARLIAMENT IS A DESPERATE CRY FOR HELP

SECURITY THREAT ASIDE, GOVERNMENT MUST HEED THE PROTESTING JOBLESS
Arun Srivastava - 2023-12-14 10:52
This is the second time in two decades that the security of Parliament has been breached. Nevertheless, the two incidents are distinctly different from each other in nature and probably in intention. The first was planned by terrorists “to wipe out the entire political leadership of India,” to quote the then home minister L K Advani. In that attack at least eleven persons had lost their lives.

FOURTH BIGGEST ECONOMY HAS LARGEST NUMBER OF HUNGRY AND MALNOURISHED

MODI’S GROWTH NARRATIVE MUST NOT BE ALLOWED TO HUSH UP THE STARK REALITY
Dr. Gyan Pathak - 2023-12-14 10:49
The way PM Narendra Modi’s growth narrative is being boastfully brought forward is nothing but mere politics, since it tries to put the stark reality of incidents of hunger and malnutrition in the country under carpet. As per the growth narrative India is the fourth biggest economy of the world, growing at the fastest rate, and aiming at making the country a developed nation by 2047 under PM Modi’s leadership, but the new report released by UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has revealed that India still houses most of the hungry and malnourished people of the world, and hundreds of millions are either moderately or severely food insecure.

EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES FOR EDUCATED YOUTH HAVE DECLINED SHARPLY

EROSION OF REAL WAGES HAS MADE THE LIVELIHOOD OF WORKERS BITTER
Krishna Jha - 2023-12-14 10:47
According to available data, there has been a steady decline in the availability of employment in agriculture and manufacturing. Growth of construction jobs have also been slow. The process of structural transformation, which had gained momentum post 2004-5, has almost stopped since 2016. There has been a spread of gloom especially among the educated youth since there is stagnation in hiring trend especially in sectors of hospitality. New job opportunities in AI sector and related fields have been mounting though at a relatively slower rate. Even after spending so much time and resources on getting specialized education, there is constant lack of quality non-farm jobs. This reality has shadowed up all hopes among the already disheartened labour force.

THE GANG OF SIX BREACHING PARLIAMENT SECURITY NEEDS PATIENT HEARING FROM GOVT

IMPOSITION OF UAPA A PUNISHMENT DOES NOT REMOVE THE BILLS THAT PLAGUE PRESENT REGIME
Sushil Kutty - 2023-12-14 10:43
Neelam ‘Azad’ is 42 and a student forever. Armed with a string of educational qualifications, Neelam couldn’t land a job and may not ever land one now that a case under UAPA has been lodged against her and the five others who planned and carried out the attack on Parliament on the 22nd anniversary of the December 13, 2001 Parliament attack on December 13, 2023.

DECLINING SHARE OF VOTES COMPELLED BJP TO CHOOSE NEW CHIEF MINISTERS

PREVENTING FURTHER FALL IS STILL TOUGH, NO QUESTION OF GAIN ANYWHERE ELSE
Dr. Gyan Pathak - 2023-12-13 12:00
The impressive gains in Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, and Rajasthan could not blind the BJP leadership to the fact of its declining share of votes in all the states in November 2023 elections compared to Lok Sabha Election 2019, and hence it was compelled to bring new faces as Chief Ministers as a preventive measure to put a brake on its falling vote share and thereby its ultimate fall in the Lok Sabha Election 2024, when the BJP and PM Narendra Modi would be seeking for their third term. The Choice of CMs has never been aimed at gain in these states, since there is technically and otherwise no question of gain in terms of Lok Sabha seats in these states, or even elsewhere on account of caste or ST politics since the new CMs are just local leaders without any pan-India influence.

MAMATA BANERJEE MAY LIKE TO CLINCH IT DURING HER DELHI VISIT LAER THIS MONTH
