The Union government under Prime Minister Narendra Modi did not take adequate measures to prevent and contain the pandemic. Therefore, there is a Need for a White Paper (Chapter-1) that examines the government’s acts of omission and commission, its impact on India and suggests constructive measures to improve policy responses to the current and future waves of the pandemic. The Modi government’s handling of the COVID-19 crisis began with its Early Inaction in January 2020 (detailed in Chapter-2). The government ignored early warnings from experts and political leaders from the Opposition. It failed to learn from the lessons and response models of other countries which had been hit by the pandemic. It did not scale up nationwide the lessons from Kerala’s experience in successfully suppressing a virus outbreak (the Nipah virus).

  • Private Sector and Babus - Contributors in India's Economic Development 12 February – 10 March 2021
    Occasional News Wrap - #05/March 2021 Private Sector and Babus - Contributors in India's Economic Development 12 February – 10 March 2021 On February 10, during the parliament session, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s remark on the relevance of private sector in India’s development has triggered a debate around its role and conduct. He emphasised its vital role in wealth creation, a pre-condition for the redistribution measures undertaken by any nation-state. Simultaneously, he also voiced his opinion for limiting the role of bureaucracy in India’s development as per its strengths and capabilities. He asserted “Sab kuch babu hi karenge?” This Occasional News Wrap contains views on the role of private sector and bureaucracy in India’s development while highlighting the points of divergence and convergence between the two. Article/Op-ed Key Takeaway My Response To PM's I am firmly of the view that despite its many achievements, the Comments On Babus And IAS IAS is, like other institutions, in need of reform.

It must begin from the IAS examination itself March 10, 2021 and cover the training programmes both in the Academy and in the field. The career management of an officer also plays a very important role in his advancement. There are good postings and not-so-good postings. Every officer must have an equal share of both. This is not the case at present and this is where political and other kinds of patronage play a role.

    BRIC By Brick… The Demographic Dream Unravels By Shankkar Aiyar (Bloomberg Quint) In November 2001, Jim O'Neill at Goldman Sachs deployed the potential of demography as a force multiplier and postulated that large emerging market economies – Brazil, India, Russia, and China have the potential to alter the global economic order, that China would overtake the United States and India would be the third-largest economy by 2050.

In November 2001, Jim O'Neill at Goldman Sachs deployed the potential of demography as a force multiplier and postulated that large emerging market economies – Brazil, India, Russia, and China have the potential to alter the global economic order, that China would overtake the United States and India would be the third-largest economy by 2050. His evocative title for the group: BRIC. The report didn’t grab attention in India till October 2003 when Dominic Wilson and Roopa Purushothaman detailed the concept to argue India has the potential “to show the fastest growth over the next 30 and 50 years” and “could raise its per capita income 35 times” by 2050. The report’s arrival was serendipitous. As India recorded three successive years of 9-plus percent GDP growth, successive governments adopted ‘demographic dividend’ as a mantra. Two decades later the dream of demographic dividend is stranded between popular aspiration and politics of dependence and despondency. Earlier in August, India’s most populous state Uttar Pradesh, home to over 200 million people, finalised draft legislation to achieve population control by enacting a law for a two-child norm.

  • The BJP System and the 2020 Bihar State Assembly Election
    [Special Issue: The Future of Democracy in India] The Politics of Obedience: The BJP System and the 2020 Bihar State Assembly Election NAKAMIZO Kazuya I. Emergence of the BJP system In the 2019 general election in India, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government was re-elected with an increased presence of the BJP (from 282 to 303 seats). The BJP, led by Narendra Modi, had received the majority of seats as a single party in Lok Sabha (the lower house of parliament) in the 2014 general election for the first time since 1984 (Nakamizo, 2020b). Most scholars of Indian politics tended to be initially reticent about whether the BJP victory in 2014 heralded the emergence of a ‘new party system’. The 2019 result, however, led many to abandon their earlier caution and to generally accept that the BJP has indeed become only the second ‘dominant party’ to emerge in Indian political history, the first being the Indian National Congress (INC). One of the earliest political analysts to point out the emergence of the ‘second dominant party system’ was Palshikar, who made the claim following the NDA’s comprehensive victory in the Uttar Pradesh state assembly election in 2017 (Palshikar, 2017, 2019). After the 2019 general election, Vaishnav and Hintson (2019) analysed the BJP as a system-defining party that represents the emergence of a ‘new fourth party system’ based on the classification of Yogendra Yadav (1999). Chhibber and Verma (2019) also pointed out the rise of the second dominant party system as a ‘BJP-led dominant party system’, emphasizing a new form of ethno-political majoritarianism that is delinked from religious Hindu nationalism.
