Parliament

Hollow numbers

India is once again debating numbers ~ how many Members of Parliament it should have, how many seats each state deserves, and whether expanding legislatures will improve democracy.

Sharing Tax Revenues

The Sixteenth Finance Commission’s (SFC) recommendations have recently been accepted by the Government of India, and the reports of the Commission were tabled in Parliament on the day of the budget by the Union Finance Minister.

Everyday Courage

Sometimes a nation’s moral temperature is not taken in Parliament or courtrooms, but on a crowded street, in front of a small shop, during an ordinary quarrel that suddenly becomes a test of conscience.

Action prevents tragedy

“Road accidents kill more people than any war,” Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari told Parliament, noting that 485 lives were lost every day on Indian roads, leaving 1,268 people injured or disabled, in 2024.
