RJD has an EBC dream in Bihar. It'll take more than tickets & tokenism The Extremely Backward Classes, which make up 36 per cent of Bihar’s population, showed their aversion to RJD in 2020. New EBC state president Mangani Lal Mandal may not be enough to break it.

I will be in the University of Oxford to present my research paper on the Indian Supreme Court in the Era of Democratic Backsliding.

India’s all-party delegations show a problem with our embassies Reforms are needed in two directions—decolonisation of the structure of Indian embassies, and the promotion of active over passive leadership.

India needs to reform its embassies.

AAP created moral panic among people. And used amoral means to grow AAP is caught up in the structural challenges that new parties face. Its inability to overcome those has made it like other parties.

How India’s new party declined?

Kejriwal’s SC/ST scholarship scheme is flawed. It lacks intent Arvind Kejriwal, his senior ministers, and AAP leaders are well aware of the financial realities and the nitty-gritty of studying abroad. No wonder the Dr Ambedkar Samman scholarship is faulty.

How to design a scheme so that intended beneficiaries could never get real benefits?

@ArvindKejriwal’s scheme to provide financial assistance to Dalit students for studying abroad is a classical example of this.
