TV media as the new mom and dad
Maansi Parpiani
14 May 2013
It was not a big surprise that the Bill that came into force as the 'The Criminal Law (Amendment) Act 2013' on April 3 retained the age of consent at 18, taking away from the teenagers the right to make their sexual choices; a right that they had actually possessed for the last three decades.
 
Even after 20 years, Decentralisation still remains a challenge
Niranjan Sahoo
04 May 2013
Mere constitutional creation of new political space would not become the answer to the growing demands for inclusion and participation in the countryside. For substantive democracy to become a reality, Centre and States need to show willingness to share powers (3Fs).
 
Bhullar case verdict and after
N Sathiya Moorthy
26 April 2013
In the 'Bhullar case', the Supreme Court could now be construed to have applied the 'reasonable restriction' theory in the larger application of Article 14 of the Constitution, promising 'equality before law and the equal protection of the laws'.
 
A blueprint to evaluate digital governance
R. Swaminathan
18 April 2013
Sooner than later, India will have to start evaluating its e-governance projects. And in the near future, the focus will shift to the outcomes of e-governance initiatives.
 
India's Demographic Dividend: Where are the jobs?
Rohit Sinha
11 April 2013
With the labour force participation rate expected to rise significantly in the coming years in India, it is imperative that the government formulates a common policy on business development and regulation. India's high economic growth story cannot be taken for granted.
 
Re-visiting neighbourhood policy
N Sathiya Moorthy
10 April 2013
For India to be taken seriously by its neighbours, and other friends and adversaries alike, it has to be clear in its mind as to what it is and where it is headed, and where it wants to go - and can actually travel to.
 
Rahul Gandhi's CII talk and the hints for policy-makers
N Sathiya Moorthy
09 April 2013
Rahul Gandhi, during his recent 75-minute talk at the CII, may have left enough hints - and some more pronounced than the rest -on the need for the party to 're-invent' itself and re-visit some of the policies, including those of the 'economic reforms era'.
 
Death by another name
R. Swaminathan
09 April 2013
India runs the real risk of killing its environment in the blind pursuit of development in some areas. A stark example is the blatant manner in which the powerful leather industry in Unnao has been polluting the water sources in the name of development.
 
India needs a federal foreign policy
Manoj Joshi
08 April 2013
It would be difficult to graft something like the U.S. system on to the Indian system. Yet, clearly the time has come when Mizoram and Nagaland also have a say in India's Myanmar policy, instead of merely having to bear its consequences.
 
Empowering village pradhans for good governance
Saeed Naqvi
06 April 2013
It were thousands of village pradhans who had to be "empowered" as the nodal points most in contact with the people. Legislators and policy makers have to develop institutional mechanisms to liaise with the Pradhans who implement policy at the village level.
