Mind the time: On the financial burden of India’s ageing population

India must prioritise time management in governance and policy execution to match its growing economic ambitions, as delays plague infrastructure projects, judicial cases, and regulatory clearances that hinder global competitiveness. The editorial critiques chronic tardiness in parliamentary sessions, slow judicial disposal averaging years per case, and bureaucratic red tape that deters investments despite reforms like single-window clearances. Recent examples include overdue environmental nods for renewable projects and lingering GST disputes resolved only after Supreme Court intervention. Efficient time use builds investor confidence, speeds development, and aligns with digital India’s fast-paced goals. Leaders should adopt strict deadlines, tech-driven monitoring, and accountability to turn time into India’s strategic asset.

​March of the Republic: On India’s 77th Republic Day and the President’s speech

he Supreme Court directed the Election Commission to publish lists of voters with logical discrepancies in age records from electoral rolls, enabling claims and objections to clean voter lists ahead of polls. ECI’s Special Intensive Revision (SIR) in 12 states and UTs identifies mismatches via Aadhaar, EPIC, and forms, aiming for pure rolls as democracy’s bedrock, with rollout soon nationwide. Manipur violence video blocked by MHA citing public order risks highlights tensions between free speech and security, as Budget Session nears with all-party meet. These steps strengthen electoral integrity but need transparency to avoid exclusion errors. Clean rolls, video moderation balance rights effectively for fair governance.​

Bhajan Clubbing Is Here: Is It a Cultural Shift?

Bhajan clubbing, where young people gather in dim halls for high-energy devotional song sessions with beats, lights, and no alcohol, has exploded among India’s Gen Z from Mumbai to Bengaluru. They swap rave hangovers for sober highs of chanting Krishna bhajans and kirtans, blending tradition with modern vibes like EDM drops on dholak rhythms, drawing huge crowds to ticketed events. This trend signals burnout from party culture, digital overload, and empty pleasures, as youth reclaim spirituality in inclusive, playlist-led spaces with chai instead of cocktails. Venues profit from cover charges despite dry policies, while searches for “modern kirtan” surge. It reflects a devotional renaissance—deterritorialised, participatory bhakti unmoored from temples and pandits—but critics question if it’s genuine faith or trendy detox.​

​Trump’s Crackdown on Migration, ICE Has Disturbing Impunity

US Border Patrol agents killed 37-year-old nurse Alex Pretti in Minneapolis during an immigration raid, weeks after ICE shot Renee Good dead in the same city, amid Trump’s hardline deportation push leading to record detentions and deaths. Videos contradict official self-defence claims, showing Pretti intervening in a scuffle before being pepper-sprayed and shot 10 times, with agents quickly labelling him a “domestic terrorist” sans probe. ICE’s unchecked powers, boosted by DHS cuts to oversight, have caused overreach even against US citizens, fueling state-federal clashes as Minnesota blocks investigations. Democrats, media, and some Republicans demand independent inquiries and agent withdrawal, while Trump defends them despite review promises. Persistent impunity risks eroding democratic trust and citizen-government bonds.
