Adani – Hindenburg Report : Epitome of Loopholes in Indian Democracy

Insights, Center for the Study for Finance and Economics, Public Finances and Macroeconomics

The Supreme Court of India appointed Committee (Expert Committee (EC)) on
the Adani-Hindenburg issue submitted its Report on May 9, 2023. It
disappoints because it chose not to go deeper into issues that hold back the
nation from achieving its full potential. It hides behind the technicality of
Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) following the currently applicable
rules that prevent it from investigating the real issues raised in the Hindenburg
Report. Therefore it concludes that there was no regulatory failure.

In the wake of one of the worst train accidents last Friday at Balasore, Odisha, journalists have turned an unsparing spotlight on rail safety. Many unsavoury features of Indian Railways now stand exposed in the glare of public scrutiny, ranging from the systematic underfunding of the rail safety fund and the snail -pace rollout of the rail safety mechanism, Kavach, to the damning CAG report on train derailments, and the sorry state of the Railways' finances.

India as the only connecting line between US and BRICS

Insights, Center for International Relations and Strategic Studies, In News, International Relations and Strategic Studies, Special Initiatives

BRICS on a mini-lateral level is focusing and yielding rather significantly on what other major groupings and multilateral organisations are aiming at. It has begun to provide an alternate avenue of cooperation from trade, and finance to resolving regional and global issues to counter-terrorism and capacity building. But, it is not free of issues.
