This alarming figure highlights how urgently coordinated measures to combat malnutrition and protect the health of coming generations are required. The report serves as a sobering reminder that, despite India’s rapid economic growth, the nation is still one of the top 20 countries in the world for the percentage of children living in extreme food poverty—65%. According to Unicef’s guidelines, children should eat a varied diet that includes foods from at least five of the eight food categories each day. However, millions of kids throughout the globe—64 million of them in South Asia—fall short of this benchmark, which has detrimental…
The Prime Minister asserts that this is the “strongest” government coalition in history while describing the NDA as an organic alliance dedicated to the “nation first” ideal. For the first time, Modi will be heading a true coalition government; in the 2014 and 2019 Lok Sabha elections, the BJP had managed to cross the halfway point on its own, but this time, they were unable to reach the crucial number. To establish the government, it now needs the backing of allies like Nitish Kumar’s Janata Dal (United) and N Chandrababu Naidu’s Telugu Desam Party. In addition to demanding their share…
Since HP and Delhi do not share a border, the water needs to pass through Haryana’s Wazirabad Barrage. Delhi is facing a water shortage in the midst of an intense heatwave. The court’s demand for a nonpartisan approach to water distribution emphasises how important it is for states to work together and manage their resources sensibly. Delhi is susceptible to interstate conflicts and ineffective water management since it depends mostly on its neighbouring states for its water supplies.

These elements were critical in the ruling BJP’s failure to win a majority. In the General Election, at least 30% of respondents expressed concern about inflation; in contrast, this percentage was just 20% in the pre-election survey. In the pre-election survey, 32% of respondents cited unemployment as their top concern; however, this number fell to 27% following the elections, presumably as a result of the political parties’ promises on jobs.

The BJP had high hopes for big political rewards, particularly in the Hindi belt, from PM Narendra Modi’s temple inauguration. The BJP was taken aback when the Samajwadi Party (SP) took the Faizabad parliamentary seat in the Ayodhya district. A BJP supporter openly acknowledged that while the Ram Mandir’s magnificence may have delighted visitors, the town’s citizens were not pleased with the inconveniences they had to endure. The shift in UP’s fortunes was epitomised by the Ayodhya upset, where the powerful BJP was overshadowed by the SP-Congress alliance, who performed exceptionally well.

This change demonstrates our democracy’s dynamic instability while also highlighting their political savvy. Thanks to the TDP’s outstanding success in Andhra Pradesh—which saw them win 16 LS seats—and the BJP’s inability to win a majority, Naidu has gained significant traction.

In the 2024 General Election, the BJP-led NDA defeated the INDIA alliance, but their win was not resounding. The landslide that the exit polls had anticipated never happened, and the slogan “abki baar 400 paar” of the ruling alliance remained just that—a slogan. The Congress-led coalition mounted a valiant defence, substantially impeding the BJP’s desperate attempts to crush the opposition. Ultimately, PM Modi didn’t appear all that powerful; instead, he would need to rely significantly on local satraps like N Chandrababu Naidu and Nitish Kumar to maintain his government.

Even though Punjab’s farmers and the Centre are still at odds, the SAD has only gained one seat, which was claimed by Harsimrat Kaur Badal, while the BJP has failed to secure any seats.

For the first time since 1994, the African National Congress (ANC), which overthrew apartheid and laid the groundwork for democracy in the nation under Nelson Mandela, has not been able to win a majority. This move foreshadows a significant change in South African politics, with coalition negotiations expected to influence the destiny of the country. The ANC’s demise was aided by widespread voter discontent brought on by excessive unemployment, crime, corruption, and subpar public services.

It is commendable that the Election Commission of India (ECI) managed the protracted polls largely without incident. West Bengal was an obvious exception, since there were skirmishes between TMC and BJP members, particularly in the unstable Sandeshkhali area. It is noteworthy that the ECI instructed the Congress and the BJP to advise its prominent campaigners and candidates to abstain from remarks that would inflame tensions within the community.

After 25 years, Sharif’s seeming allusion to the Kargil War has brought the contentious narrative to light. During his first speech as the party’s president on Tuesday, he acknowledged Pakistan’s part in weakening the peace initiative that he and the former Indian prime minister, Atal Bihari Vajpayee, had supported. On February 21, 1999, the Lahore Declaration was signed, contributing to the development of a peaceful and stable vision. But this hope was not to last long.
