Law is the fundamental way in which a nation-state survives. But often some of these laws are ignored both by those who implement these laws and those who are bound to follow them. They are as follows: Walking and crossing the railway tracks This is something that is pretty common across railway lines across India. Whether it be crossing at the railway stations or walking on tracks outside the stations as well. But as expected, trespassing on railway property is a punishable offence under Section 147 of the Railways Act, 1989.  Building bridges and escalators while completely ignoring the basic movement of people is to be blamed here. Similarly, entering railway platforms without a ticket is not allowed.

Polarised Indian Politics and the Way Forward- A Podcast

-

Greetings to all listeners and readers!!

Indian Politics has always been one of the most interesting subjects both academically and also in understanding the socio-political dynamics of the country. Indian Politics stands apart from the rest of the world's domestic politics for multiple reasons. Starting from its independence in 1947, the country has one of the world's most number of political parties, majority state and regional parties. India is the world's largest democracy. India is a federal republic in addition to a secular democracy. 

India's political discourse has changed in the past few years. The times are changing, the spectrum has become polarised than ever. We are getting intolerant, we are refusing to listen to opposing views, don't want to have a healthy conversation, etc. Society is divided on caste, religion, economics, party, pro and anti-Modi, etc. With social media and partisan mainstream media, the amount of hate and divisiveness is at its peak. 

This episode will take you to how Indian Politics reached this particular situation and decode the reasons and various contemporary issues and the way forward.
