On evidence, policy-making, and critiquing it in a polarised polity

I chose to work in the arena of public policy driven largely by a personal commitment (the naivety of youth!) to the goal of social justice and a desire to be part of the process of radical social transformation that as a young adult in the late 1990s, I was witness to.

The Pareeksha Pe Charcha that we need to have urgently

The deep failures of our school education system are well-known. According to the New Education Policy (NEP), 2020, an estimated five crore students enrolled in primary schools had not attained foundational literacy and numeracy, i.e., the ability to read and comprehend basic text and the ability to carry out basic addition and subtraction.

We need a politics of North-South accommodation, not divide

India cannot afford a North-South divide. It needs a politics of North-South accommodation, partnership, and a celebration of diversity. The consequences of not doing so are too dangerous to contemplate.

In the GARP of clearing the air, polluted policy serves elites, political ends

The government is as busy as policy wonks. Last minute scramble. Incomprehensible (for the Aam Aadmi) GRAP measures in place. Smog guns, smog machines, sprinklers, bans on all kinds of activity.

Comfortably numb? Of violence, State and society

Like most right-thinking citizens, I too have been left numb by the horrific video clips from Manipur that went viral a few days ago.
