  • So What Changed in Dharavi?
    SHUBHDA CHAUDHARY | 16 JULY, 2020 So What Changed in Dharavi? Asia’s biggest slum Dharavi in the Covid Pandemic As the nation-wide lockdown was suddenly announced in March, Aatma Devi – a poor slum dweller in Dharavi – found herself battling against all odds. But she was not alone. The 8-9 lakh slum dwellers in Dharavi faced the same struggle. With the first case reported in April, Dharavi turned into a COVID hotspot. Despite being located in Mumbai – The City of Dreams – the pandemic would further jeopardise several living realities in Dharavi. The abject poverty, overcrowding, and lack of sanitation facilities in Dharavi made it an alarming challenge to immediately tackle. 80% of Dharavi’s population depended on community toilets, worsening the situation further for residents like Atma Devi. “We did not have money, even to pay for loos. Many of us, in this state of pennilessness and abandonment, used the polluted garbage disposal areas for toilet purposes,” she said. Several stories like hers have gone unreported. How could families, living in eight-by-eight foot rooms be quarantined? How would these daily-wage labourers earn their livelihood? How would sanitisation be carried out in alleyways with poor drainage and sewage facilities? The normalisation of Dharavi’s reality – poverty, labour abuse, lack of sanitation condition, poor unhygienic quality of life, domestic abuse, child labour – within India’s democratic functioning is not new. Though interestingly, the pandemic worsened it further. Several firms in Mumbai specifically discontinued the services of these slum dwellers, forcing thousands of them to return to their native towns.

  • Draft: to Be Circulated Only to Participants of the 4Th Annual
    Urban Counterterrorist Sieges: The 2008 Mumbai Attack and Police (In)capacity The Mumbai terrorist attack of 2008 exposed key vulnerabilities in India’s defences against urban terrorism. Not only did it reflect an unprecedented degree of sophistication on the part of jihadist planners, but the attack also demonstrated that the Indian policing system was woefully inadequate for the task of combating suicidal assaults. This paper will provide an analysis of the tactical and operational aspects of the Indian security response, with a view towards identifying lessons which might be valuable for the international security community. Its findings are expected to be particularly relevant in light of similar attacks carried out in Europe, Africa and North America during 2013-16. The paper describes the actual conduct of security operations on the ground in Mumbai, during the period 26-29 November 2008. It studies the response of the Indian police, army, navy and National Security Guard and demonstrates that inter-force cooperation was severely lacking. Besides clear protocols for communicating situational updates and pooling crisis intelligence, counterterrorism in India lacked a coherent public relations doctrine. Together, these shortcomings contributed to the spread of panic and multiplied the disruption caused by the attack. The paper concludes by offering suggestions for improving police responses to future urban terrorist sieges. Keywords: Terrorism, Intelligence, SWAT, India, Pakistan, Lashkar-e-Taiba Introduction Following the 13 November 2015 shooting rampage by ‘Islamic State’ militants in Paris, Western security agencies are paying close attention to the threat of ‘active shooters’. Unlike regular hostage- takers, active shooters are gunmen who randomly kill anyone they see and do not stop until cornered and arrested or shot by security forces.

  • Market Review (May 2021)
    Market Review - May 2021 Macroeconomic Update Global economy continues to grow at a healthy pace with strong data coming from major economies like US, China, UK, etc. The improvement was supported by demand recovery aided by fall in Covid-19 cases, fast roll out of vaccine, high savings in Advanced Economies (AEs), large fiscal stimulus, easing restrictions, sequential improvement in employment and manufacturing, etc. The recovery momentum in India faltered on back of localised lockdowns by practically all major states. While the stringency of lockdowns is lower than one imposed last year but effect on demand and economic activities, especially discretionary ones was prominent. While the number of cases has fallen sharply from the peak seen during first half of May 2021, some State Governments took precautionary approach and have extended the lockdowns into June 2021, albeit with some relaxations. While it appears that worst is largely behind us, economic recovery is likely to be impacted in June 2021 as well, though to a lesser extent than May 2021. Update on COVID-19: The total Covid-19 cases increased to over % of population 171 million as on 31 May 2021 from ~153 million a month ago with ~50% of the increase on account of India. New cases in Given 1+ dose Fully vaccinated Population (in million) advanced economies like US, UK, Europe etc. moderated Israel 60 57 8.7 significantly as the vaccination drive progressed at a healthy pace.

  • Honourable Speaker Sir, During the Last Two Decades, Our Government Has Adopted a Well-Planned Approach with a Long Term Vision for the Development of the State
    Honourable Speaker Sir, During the last two decades, our Government has adopted a well-planned approach with a long term vision for the development of the State. The people of the state and the country are witnessing the encouraging results of these efforts. There was a time, when we used to present plans of the Government in the form of budget, some people used to be skeptical and trivialize its importance by calling it a dream. However, today the nation and the world has taken note of the success saga of Gujarat. And therefore, the people of Gujarat have time and again expressed their confidence in our development oriented approach and we are grateful to the people of the State for the same. Our Government is continuously marching on the development path on the foundation of the four pillars of Sensitivity, Transparency, Decisiveness and Progressiveness. We are committed to the social, economic, educational and overall development of every citizen of the state. Government is ensuring that the fruits of development reach to the poorest of the poor and they also play an important role in the development process of the State. Our Governance is based on the principle of "Sau no Sath Sau no Vikas", involving all sections of the society in the main stream development process through a well planned approach. On the one hand through Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit, Gujarat has established a unique global identity as most favoured trade and investment destination. On the other hand, the Government has ensured irrigation facilities through efficient water management of Saradar Sarovar Narmada Project and strengthening of other irrigation schemes in order to increase agricultural productivity and to achieve high agricultural growth rate.
