| PM Modi’s QUAD Outreach | | |
Asad Mirza
The latest Quad Summit is largely seen as an effort by the US Joe Biden to leave a lasting legacy. Though PM Modi ticked all boxes, yet nothing substantial for India was gained at the summit, apart from the optics.
PM Modi along with President Joe Biden, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida attended the Quad Summit at President Biden’s hometown of Wilmington, Delaware, 100 miles north of capital, Washington DC, last weekend.
India was initially set to host the Quad summit this year but agreed to swap duties as Biden’s time in office will end in next two months. The leaders met ahead of the UN General Assembly in New Y... |

The ILO’s World Social Protection Report 2024-26: Universal social protection for climate action and a just transition, released last week states that around 50 per cent of the global population – which could be described as the privileged one, do have access to at least one social protection benefit – but 3.8 bi... |

Asad Mirza
India took a significant diplomatic initiative led by PM Narendra Modi personally, when he offered New Delhi’s assistance at the highest level to help resolve the two-and-a-half years old on-going conflict between Russia and Ukraine, during his recent visit to Ukraine.

Asad Mirza
The recent riots in the UK have made one thing clear that the far-right is on the increase in Europe and elsewhere too, including India. Further in its vilifying campaigns its in now-a-days heled by the rising social media, and the time has come to reign-in the social media’s negative use.
Recent riots across several U.K. towns and cities following the killing of three children, Alice Aguiar (9), Bebe King (6) and Elsie Stancombe (7) and the injury of several others during a knife attack in Southport on July 29, makes one wonder how in a country which is known for changing its image as being multicultural and assimilating, such incidents happen.

| | Democracy asks for a wakeful electorate | | |
K N Pandita
India’s tryst with democracy tells us that democracy is likely to be abused rather than gainfully used when left to the voters who are maximally unaware of its pre-requisites. One significant discrepancy of democracy for a multi-religious, multi-lingual and multi-cultural society like that of India is of elected members focusing on regional issues even at the cost of broad national interests.
When the new parliament met for the first time after elections, it was primarily for felicitating the Speaker who had won in a bilateral competition and took his official seat. Those who voted against him have to show him respect precisely in the way in which the opposition member... |

Asad Mirza
The results of 2024 general elections in India have yet again proved that the common voter is the ultimate kingmaker, one who believes in democracy (lok tantra) and is not easily hoodwinked by the system/machinations (tantra). Further 67% Indian voters are still secular, but were browbeaten to take a back seat due to the high decibel campaigns by the Hindutva forces to silence and intimidate them.
The confidence with which the BJP’s top brass in the country led by the Prime Minister Narendra Modi plunged into the electoral fray in 2024, belied its expectations, finally, and many say saved the country from falling further into an abyss of intolerance and majoritari... |

K B Jandial
As the curtain finally falls on one of India's fiercely contested and longest-spanning 7-phase Lok Sabha elections in recent history, the electoral narratives have continuously shifted, with counter-narratives following each phase.
