Onion Prices Hike

-
The prices of onion is more than 100 / kg in many regions of country. In 1998 onion prices led to fall of Bjp government in legislative elections of Delhi. It's not first time that prices of onion became a political issue in India. Exactly every year in November and December onion prices rise rapidly. The rise in price of onion is mainly due to nonseasonal rain in Maharashtra, Telangana, and Karnataka. It rained nearly 2 times more in October than usual. Maharashtra is the main onion producing state in India. It cover almost 28% share of onion crop in India. Excess rainfall in Maharashtra, the top onion producing state in India have destroyed the crops.The area under kharif onion was less than 7% due to impact of drought and delayed onset of monsoon. However its impact is now over. The monthly onion consumption in India  is around 15 lakh metric tons. which means we need 50 thousand tons daily for consumption but roughly supply is around 10-12% of what we need ,that the reason for

The first Presidential debate 2020

-
Assumptions before the start of the debate : 1 . President would be looking to be on an attacking front throughout the debate and make personal comments on Joe Biden. He would most likely comment on Biden’s past and on his views towards China. 2. Joe Biden on the other hand has in a way been preparing since 1987 and will most likely be defensive but will make subtle attacks on Trump on some fronts here and there. Expectation of the impact of this debate: This debate will not be able to change the common perspective of both candidates over night. Trump will most likely be looking for switching to front foot and make the debate more about Biden’s shortcomings rather than his own failures and challenges. Facts about the debate: 1. Trump interrupted Joe Biden 73 times during the course of the debate. 2. The moderator Chris Wallace asked Trump to stop interrupting 25 times. 3. Surprisingly, Trump spoke less than Joe Biden at 38 minutes compared to Biden’s 43 minutes. 4. The longe

Wave Of Hindutva Or Revamping Of Mandal Politics? The Indian democracy will see five elections this year, the most important and most contested of which is the UP elections, being the largest contributor to the parliamentary elections, winning Uttar Pradesh has always been the key towards winning the Hindu Heartland.  Uttar Pradesh, India's most populated state with a population of over 23 crores, is going to have its state election for 403 legislative seats from 10 February to 7 March in seven phases and results will be declared on 10 March.  UP is the heart of Hindutva Politics. The Mascot of BJP’s political empire which stretches across the nation. UP is also BJP’s template for electoral politics. In the 2017 assembly election, the BJP had won a massive 325 seats while the then Alliance of SP and the Congress had to settle for 54 seats only. If the 2017 UP polls were defined as a wave of Hindutva, then can 2022 be defined as the comeback of Mandal Politics.  It may be too early

One year of Article 370

On the first anniversary of the reading down of Article 370 , the kashmir valley continues to be subjected to various restrictions and proper Internet services are still barred. Many political leaders are being under detention or house arrest. Last year on 5 August the government of India revoked the special status, or limited autonomy, granted under Article 370 of Indian Constitution to Jammu and Kashmir. This revoke led to breaking up of Jammu and Kashmir into directly administered by the government of India : one that combines Hindu- majority Jammu and Muslim- majority kashmir, and Buddhist - majority Ladakh.    One year- where do things stand?  At the time of revoking, it was stated that that reading down Article 370 would guide development and several industries would set up shop in kashmir but, this has proved to be a futile hope. The covid pandemic has made any nation wide reforms difficult to implement but even before the nation wide shutdown in March, there had be
