Four Pillars, One Question: Is India Heading for Anarchy or Awakening? | Countercurrents (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Every democracy rests on an unwritten promise: if one institution fails, another will catch the fall. The legislature checks the executive, the judiciary checks both, the press informs the citizen, and the citizen votes. The uncomfortable question India now asks itself is what happens when each pillar is only partly doing its job at the same moment. The Legislature: from debate to arithmetic. Parliament was meant to be the nation’s argument with itself. Increasingly it is a place where bills pas
A Bargain Without a Quorum: Who is Faustus, and who is Mephistophilis, in India’s Election Commission row? | Countercurrents (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Every democracy keeps a favourite phrase for the moment its referees stop being watched. In India today it is “respect the institution.” It is a sound principle and a dangerous alibi, and this week it met its test. The Indian Express reported that Election Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi formally objected at least fourteen times in ten months to decisions on the Special Intensive Revision that they said were taken without their knowledge. The Commission’s response is that writ
Beneath the Slogans: The Real Fault Lines of Uttar Pradesh 2027 | Countercurrents (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Caste arithmetic remains the language in which Uttar Pradesh’s politics is spoken. But the sentences being written this cycle are about something else — who is allowed to vote, who has nothing to lose, and how much of India’s future runs through Lucknow. Every conversation about Uttar Pradesh’s 2027 assembly election eventually collapses into the same familiar grammar: PDA versus Hindutva consolidation, Yadav-Muslim versus a widening non-Yadav OBC coalition, the BSP’s uncertain third leg. This i
The Roof Fell. No Heads Did: Delhi’s Selective Accountability After Satya Niketan | Countercurrents (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Somewhere in that building, a phone was probably still charging on a windowsill. A pair of chappals left by a doorway, waiting for someone to slip back into them after a nap. It was 1.30 on a Sunday afternoon — the one slow, unhurried hour in a Delhi University student’s week, when assignments wait, alarms are switched off, and a hostel room stops being a place to study and just becomes a place to breathe. And then, without a single second of warning, the floor above became the floor below. A pi
The Cracks Beneath the Saffron Sheen: Why the BJP’s Confidence Is Fraying on the Ground | Countercurrents (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For a decade, the Bharatiya Janata Party’s political grammar rested on a single, load-bearing sentence: Modi hai to mumkin hai — with Modi, anything is possible. It was less a slogan than a claim on the future itself, and it worked because it fused personal charisma with an aura of inevitability. In 2026, that sentence is being read back to the party as a question. Is it still mumkin? The evidence from the ground — electoral, institutional, and generational — suggests the BJP itself is no longer
