Congress has a Sam Pitroda problem

May 8, 2024 | deccanherald.com | Viju Cherian

A ‘slip of the tongue’ is an accident when one intends to say one thing but says something else. If it recurs, they are no longer accidents; they point towards a larger problem. For the Congress this election season — as was the case during the 2019 general elections — that problem is its Indian Overseas Congress Chairman Sam Pitroda.
Manufacturing | India stands out as an outlier worldwide on the positive side

Jan 9, 2024 | deccanherald.com | Viju Cherian

Ever so often a data release gives an unexpected number making headlines and calling for deeper analysis. The latest to do so is the HSBC India Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) compiled by S&P Global which made a splash by falling to an 18-month low in December. At 54.9, this level was still above the long-term trend but this plunge raised a red flag. And rightly so. In the first nine months of Financial Year 2023-2024, the Manufacturing PMI for India has fallen five times.
A distasteful remark and a half-hearted apology

Dec 5, 2023 | deccanherald.com | Viju Cherian

To say that Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) MP Senthilkumar's statement has hit a new low in parliamentary discourse is a cliché because our elected representatives time and again lower the bar further in a desperate effort to make a point. The Lok Sabha Secretariat from House records and the DMK has 'strongly condemned' the MP. From a record-keeping perspective, these are good steps, but the damage is done.

Nov 20, 2023 | deccanherald.com | Viju Cherian

M A KalamA draft framework initiated by the University Grants Commission (UGC) to bring about a new curriculum for postgraduate programmes has been approved, and it will soon be thrown open to obtain feedback from different stakeholders. Keeping in mind the National Educational Policy (NEP), the curriculum offers flexibility to students to move from one discipline that they would be pursuing to another. The flexibility that the UGC is bringing in is quite a positive development.
Is AAP’s anti-corruption armour Teflon-coated?

Oct 9, 2023 | deccanherald.com | Viju Cherian

"Prime Minister ji, if Kejriwal is corrupt, there is no one honest in this world. I want to tell you that the day you find corruption of a single paisa against Kejriwal, hang me publicly." Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said this on May 5, while dedicating 80 ‘Aam Aadmi clinics’ in Punjab. In politics, exaggeration has a high tensile strength.
Modi’s ‘I’ll be back’ Independence Day speech

Aug 14, 2023 | deccanherald.com | Viju Cherian

Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s tenth Independence Day speech was a look back at history, it was a report card of his nine years in power, it laid a roadmap for India, and it was heavily political. Modi’s emphasis on ‘1,000 years of slavery’ was in line with the Right-wing narrative of ‘othering’ the minorities, especially the Muslims, in India.
