Challenges of the Indian Economy and Banking Under the Sway of Global Capital | Arun Kumar

Arun Kumar — 2022-12-24T04:24:38Z

Introduction
In a modern day capitalist society, finance (vitta) is of crucial importance. It can help the individuals but also marginalize them since finance is not only complex but becoming more so and even educated people barely understand it. So, most people follow the herd mentality and often that leads to mistakes.
Any analysis of the world of finance in India requires one to understand the nature of the current Indian Economy and its changing philosophical moorings. The problem is (…)

With No Roots in Public Culture, Hindutva is a Lone Militant | Radhakanta Barik

Radhakanta Barik — 2022-12-24T04:23:13Z

There is a book on Modi saying the same thing (Ajay Singh's forthcoming book cited in Walter Andersen 2022). The question young and progressive India is asking is, ‘is it possible'?

The historical agitation of farmers (2020-2021) had its genesis in the state of Punjab; but the real battle was fought on the soil of Haryana.

Can The Congress Again Become - A Common Man's Party? | Papri Sri Raman

Papri Sen Sri Raman — 2022-12-24T04:22:00Z

AS THE YEAR ENDS, friends have been asking me what my thoughts are on. Let me tell you a story, even as a third year of Corona virus looms this winter. It is a warm tale for a dark winter night, when no hope glimmers. The story of what happened some twenty years ago, and what can happen again.
