The Midway Battle

Modi's Rollercoaster Second Term

By: Gautam Chintamani

In 2019, the BJP came into power once again on the back of one of the most significant electoral mandates in recent years. Since then, the Narendra Modi-led government has seen a tumultuous few years as they have implemented far-reaching legislative changes including the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act, triple talaq, the Citizenship (Amendment) Act as well as farming laws. These laws, when implemented, caused widespread protests and upheaval across the country. While the country grappled with internal strife, it also faced challenges from its neighbours in the form of one of the most intense military stand-offs in decades after an unprovoked attack by China's People's Liberation Army at Galwan as well as a global pandemic. While the Modi government took swift steps to limit the spread of the pandemic in 2020, the second wave of COVID-19 in early 2021 hit the country hard, claiming thousands of lives. Bringing a well-researched and nuanced understanding to Modi's second term, The Midway Battle sheds light on the sociopolitical issues facing India as it continues its struggle against enemies both known and unknown, and puts into in perspective what lies ahead for the world's biggest democracy.

In Hard Times

Security in a Time of Insecurity

By: Manoj Joshi,Nishtha Gautam,Praveen Swami

Since the mid-1990s, Indian thinking on national security has been based on the assumption that the country would progress on a growth trajectory sufficient to modernise its defence capacities and thereby enable some form of parity with a rising China. The reality has been otherwise. China's spectacular growth – and accompanying military modernisation – has hugely outpaced that of India while the Indian military modernisation has moved fitfully. In the past several years, budgets have committed less than 2 per cent of GDP –the lowest levels since the war of 1962 – for the military. Even if spending were to rise to 3 per cent, little funding would be available for modernisation after allowing for rising pensions, salaries and other components of the budget. Put simply, the authors state, India needs a national security strategy for hard times. It would be a strategy grounded in reality – India's priority has to be the raising of vast numbers of its people out of abject poverty, even if the strategies of countries like China and the United States, economically more developed, can aim at being global powers. In Hard Times is an important collection that highlights the major challenges India confronts and the ways they can be tackled, especially in the light of the upheavals caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Its contributors include former military officers, including Admiral Arun Prakash and Lt Gen. D.S. Hooda, whose views have helped shape discussions on strategy, as well as commentators such as Dr Sanjaya Baru. Experience tells us that in war it's often the smarter side that wins, not the stronger one. These essays point us in that direction.

Offend, Shock, or Disturb

Free Speech under the Indian Constitution

By: Gautam Bhatia

Offend, Shock, or Disturb is a comprehensive examination of free speech under the Indian Constitution. It explores Indian free speech jurisprudence from a doctrinal, comparative, and philosophical perspective. Taking as its point of departure the constitutional guarantee of the freedom of speech and expression—Articles 19(1)(a) and 19(2) of the Constitution of India—the book discusses, clause by clause, the development of law from colonial times to present-day controversies. Issues relating to public order, sedition, obscenity and pornography, hate speech, film and online censorship, privacy and defamation, the contempt of court, the nature of speech and the relationship between free speech and economic structure, and the inter-relationships between them have been comprehensively examined. As free speech campaigns gain intensity by the day, the book presents the myriad understandings and limitations of the free speech law, and suggests possible pathways for the future.

The New Political Elite

The Inconsequential MP?

By: Gautam Vohra

Some Mps Are More Equal Than Others. A Truism That Is Applicable To All Walks Of Life, But More So In Relation To Our Man In Parliament. But Even The High Profile Mp Enjoys Hardly Any Power As A Legislator. As A Member Of Various Parliamentary Committees He May, Or May Not, Influence Policy, But There Is Little Doubt That These Do Not Enjoy The Clout They Did During The Nehru Era. By Contributing To Debates In The House, The Mp Of The Fifties Could Be Said To Have Had Impact On Policy, But This Is Hardly The Case Today. The Speeches That Cover A Wide Range Of Issues (And Given Considerable Space In This Volume) Are Often No More Than Routing Affairs In Support Of The Party Position, Adding Nothing Or Little Of Substance To The Subject Under Discussion. As For The Question Raised By The Np, He Is Fobbed Of, More Often Than Not, By Replies That Conceal More Than They Reveal, Replies Drafted Hurriedly By The Bureaucrat To Ensure That His Boss Does Not Get Embroiled In Any Controversy. Hence The Only Job Left To Him Is To Tackle The Demands Of His Voters. In Doing So He Is Often Stepping On The Toes Of The Mla Or The Municipal Councillor. As Things Are, He Is Not As Well Placed To Deliver The Goods As Them. He Has, In Effect, No Role To Play. It Is In This Context That The Author Has Posed The Question In The Title Of The Book, Asking Whether The New Mp, The Mp Of The Nineties, Is Of Any Consequence. Contents Chapter 1: Introduction; Chapter 2: The Role/ Functions Of Mps; Chapter 3: Impact On Policy; Chapter 4: Change In The Nature Of Elected Representative; Chapter 5: The Reluctant Mp; Chapter 6: Quality Of Debate; Chapter 7: Importance Of The Mp; Chapter 8: Socio-Economic Background; Chapter 9: Conclusion.
