Farm Reforms, Protests and By-election in Haryana

Vol. 56, Issue No. 21, 22 May, 2021
Ramphul Ohlan

The central agricultural reforms have emerged as a new factor that played a vital role in the recently held by-election in a Haryana assembly constituency.

The Indian National Congress has become a major beneficiary of opposition to central new farm legislation in Haryana.

Cow Slaughter Laws as State-sanctioned Violence

Vol. 55, Issue No. 50, 19 Dec, 2020
Alok Prasanna Kumar

The Karnataka Prevention of Slaughter and Preservation of Cattle Bill, 2020 is the most recent attempt of the Bharatiya Janata Party in the state to make for harsh cow slaughter laws, which have been used in the past to disproportionately target Dalits and Muslims across the country. The bill is poorly drafted and offends notions of rule of law and procedural justice, raising questions on whether it is even intended to be applied as a law or is just a tool of state-sanctioned violence.

The Future of Progressive Politics in India

Vol. 55, Issue No. 14, 04 Apr, 2020
The challenge for progressives is not mobilising those who already feel an affinity with the core values enshrined in India’s Constitution and believe in a liberal, secular, and democratic India. The challenge is to convince the silent majority of India which is either not unduly bothered about the threat posed by Hindutva or feels that these very values somehow undermine their identity and culture.
