    We need a clearer policy on political violence

    05 May 2019

    The General Election this time has been marked by a significant amount of violence in the run-up to the polls in several parts of the country. The bitterness amongst the contesting parties in states like West Bengal, Andhra Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra

    Barr’s actions have upended Democrats line of attack

    04 May 2019

    It was only a month ago that many Democrats were hoping Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential election would lead to indictments — perhaps even of President Donald Trump’s family and inner circle — for conspiring with the Russians. That did not come to pass, nor will it, so the focus has turned to “the narrative.” The term itself is a sign that this story is now entirely about politics.

    Opposition still in desperate hunt for a leader

    11 May 2019

    With Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Ram Madhav now saying that his party will get a majority of its own in the Lok Sabha and not fall short of the requisite number as he had said earlier, the opposition will probably have to redouble its unity efforts.

    Economic remedies for India’s water crisis

    20 Jul 2019

    While contemplating our natural resources, past conversations often centered around fossil fuels and them becoming scarce due to overuse. However, recent conversations have stirred our attention to another natural resource that is available in abundance but is still causing a crisis in many parts of the world. Water!

    What if, horror of horrors, Boris Johnson makes a success of Brexit?

    29 Jul 2019

    So far, I have said that Boris Johnson is likely to be heading for disaster. He seems unlikely to get a Brexit deal through parliament, and parliament is unlikely to allow him to take Britain out of the EU without a deal. Thus he seems to be heading for a “people against parliament” election, in which he asks

    Lib Dems’ rise gives Remainers a shot in the arm

    07 May 2019

    People, like political parties, have their ups and downs. I am no exception and nor are the Liberal Democrats. Now we are back on the up – with the party’s biggest advance in seats at local elections ever – it is right to remember where we came from.

    Corbyn’s reputation is in ruins and it’s all because of Brexit

    30 Jul 2019

    It seems the man with the Mandela placard is seen as no more trustworthy or principled than Boris Johnson. An Opinium poll published over the weekend found that less than a quarter of the public thinks Corbyn is “trustworthy” — a lower share than Johnson — and 36 per cent find him principled, the same

    Extending a Shakespearean hand of friendship

    03 May 2019

    For starters, I would like to say a few words in defence of Attorney General William Barr. He is being much maligned, even vilified, as a mumbling, bumbling, dissembling, lying apologist for President Donald Trump. And I just want to note for the record that America’s 85th attorney general

    Stern steps needed to protect Afghan civilians

    30 Jul 2019

    Deadly violence has been taking a heavy toll on civilians in Afghanistan despite the ongoing peace negotiations and that’s not acceptable. The UN Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) has in its latest report stated that more civilians were killed by Afghan and international coalition forces in the first half of this

    Johnson is likely to steer Brexit Britain onto the rocks

    18 Jul 2019

    A cunning rat leaves a sinking ship. Yet it’s a striking feature of today’s Conservative Party that so many are scrabbling to stay aboard their listing vessel instead. Amber Rudd and the ever versatile Matt Hancock have even converted to the cause of a crash-out Brexit, despite previously warning it would be the economic equivalent of scuttling your own fleet at Scarpa Flow.
