Opinion : India loosing on democracy index : The toxic dream of Hindu republic

History is witness that the roots of democracy have been very strong in India since centuries and the present testimony is that the foundations of democracy in India are getting hollow. India is ranked 51 in the Global List of Democracy Index 2019 released by the Economic Intelligence Unit (EIU) of the British institute ‘The Economist Group’ and has dropped 10 places from the previous year. The 6th century BC Vajji Republic presented a wonderful tableau of the republican system in India, while this Global List of Economist Groups provides a blueprint of the pathetic state of democracy in 21st century India.

Due to NRC, an atmosphere of fear among Muslims, people feel BJP does politics of polarization- Chetan Bhagat

New Delhi: There is a debate in the country about the National Register of Citizens (NRC). There is a fear in the minority community that the Central Government has amended the Citizenship Act (CAA) only to implement the NRC. The National Population Register (NPR) is also being linked to this. Protests are taking place across the country against the CAA. The Kerala and Punjab governments have also passed resolutions in the assembly against this law. The governments of Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar and Rajasthan have also spoken of not implementing it in their state. Famous writer Chetan Bhagat spoke openly on the issue of NRC in a conversation with NDTV. He said that because of NRC there is an atmosphere of fear among minorities. He also spoke about polarizing and doing identity-based politics on the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

Opinion : Virat’s ‘greed’ that falls heavily on the team

The date of January 15 is a bit strange for Virat Kohli. On this date, the ICC selected Virat Kohli as the captain of their ODI and Test team at its annual awards. On this date, questions are being raised on his captaincy. The questions are actually raising more than Virat Kohli’s captaincy on his greed due to which the balance of Team India is disturbed. This greed is of another batsman in the lower middle order. Virat Kohli also wants a player who ‘contributes with the bat’ at number 8 in the team’s batting order. In this greed, Virat sits on such experiments which prove to be harmful for the team. The same happened in Mumbai ODI. This is more surprising because the team which has batsmen like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan and KL Rahul, do they really need another batsman at number 8? Even if you answer no to this question, Virat Kohli’s answer is yes because his thinking in choosing the team’s playing 11 looks similar.
