CutTheClutter: Future of INDIA bloc after serial setbacks, Congress overhang, conflicts & search for cohesion

#cuttheclutter After an unexpected but good performance in Lok Sabha polls, the Congress-led INDI alliance lost embarrassingly in Maharashtra and exposed faultlines in the Haryana Assembly elections. In episode 1560 of Cut The Clutter, Editor-in-Chief Shekhar Gupta dissects structural issues within the alliance, the contradiction in ideologies, distrust between alliance partners, conflicts of interest, and an apparently overpowering aura of the Congress. He also looks back at the life of Maharashtra's first Chief Minister Yashvantrao Balwantrao Chavan on his death anniversary. Chavan served in the Nehru-Gandhi Union cabinets as External Affairs Minister, Defence Minister, Home Minister, and even Deputy PM. Known for modernizing India's military, Chavan's memory may be lost due to the Congress' institutional amnesia. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Read ThePrint's National Interest on Congress' dilemma between survival and revival https://theprint.in/national-interest/congresss-central-dilemma-since-1989-survival-or-revival/2329168/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To know more about Y B Chavan, you can refer to the following books: Debacle to Revival: Y.B.Chavan as Defence Minister, 1962-65 by R.D.

SecurityCode: Donald Trump’s planning his war against immigrants—but it was already lost 70 years ago

Even as President-elect Donald Trump has vowed to remove millions of illegal immigrants from America, he’s using a 1954 deportation drive called Operation Wetback as his model. That effort caused enormous human suffering, and largely failed in its objectives. As long as businesses and corporations in the USA need cheap labour, anti-immigration drives will be unlikely to succeed.

ThePrintPod: Sajjad Nomani’s boycott call crosses a dangerous line, threatens freedom of Muslim voters
