Beginning today I will be writing a weekly column for HT Premium which will look at a political economy puzzle facing contemporary India. We've named it Terms of Trade. The first one asks why fuel price protests aren't gaining popular traction

Tweet card media

Terms of Trade | Why are the fuel hike protests confined to Parliament?

Targeted welfare provisioning, when married with targeted political campaigning, can explain why the BJP was able to manage the political anger around inflation

Who likes JNU students marching on Delhi roads depends on who’s in power. In 2012 the BJP loved JNU students when they braved tear gas & lathis during Nirbhaya. Today their govt doesn’t want them to march in Delhi. The average JNU student was & is only fighting for a just cause.

You have every right to disagree with Umar Khalid's politics. But if your disagreement has to flow from the barrel of a gun, then it is not politics anymore. Its PERSECUTION. A democracy which cannot stand against persecution is slowly but steadily weakening its own roots.

Comrade Yechury's enigma was that his personal stock didn't diminish despite CPI(M)'s decline under his GS-ship. What didn't change was his constant solidarity with his alma mater. Future generations of JNU students will always miss him at the barricades. Travel well comrade…

UP reversals for BJP are due to opposition unity. But Bihar results show the RJD is winning even against a united NDA. This should worry the BJP even more. Cracks in BJP's rainbow Hindu consolidation rather than overnight changes in secular-communal divide is the key #bypoll
