Opinion: Why PM Modi Remains So Popular Despite Coronavirus Crisis

Tax revenues have plummeted, state governments are unhappy and 21 million of India's rare salaried jobs vanished in the last few months. And yet Prime Minister Narendra Modi - who recently posted pictures of himself feeding peacocks in his serene garden - remains as popular as ever. How does Modi do it?

Opinion: The Good And Ugly Of The Government's Economic Package
When Prime Minister Narendra Modi first addressed the nation on March 19, he told us that a task force would be set up to deal with the economic effects of the coronavirus pandemic.

What we eventually got is something of a halfway house.

Kerala Should Make High-speed Rail a Reality

If the majority among us depend on cars for travelling, it would lead to a situation wherein even an expressway would not be sufficient to handle the traffic. The majority of us are following the American model of using car - single occupancy. We have to reduce our over-dependency on roads for commuting, as soon as possible.
