P Sainath on Lok Sabha Results 2024 And What Lies Ahead https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5zlJE22Cow NewsClickin
The outcome of 2024 Lok Sabha elections may not have given clear majority to any political party. But it did give clear indications that Indian politics and democracy shall be centred around people's issues. During the campaign attempts were made by the ruling party to steer the narrative towards non-issues like mangalsutra, religion-based reservation etc. However, the people, who have been bearing the brunt of uncontrolled price rise and unemployment, economic and agricultural distress, seemed to have voted on issues that affect their lives.
What do these results tell about the character of Indian politics? Have the Indian working class and peasantry, while struggling to find its unity amid the many religious and caste-based internal conflicts, still sided with the democratic values envisioned in the constitution and tried to reign in the autocratic rule?

Parakala Prabhakar Interview: 'मोदी में गठबंधन सरकार चलाने की क्षमता नहीं' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WW558NQ_JCw Jun 7, 2024
Can Modi survive floor test in the parliament? Can he run a coalition govt like Atal did? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Nl3iLkFIlg Modi will be sworn in as the Prime Minister for the third time. This time he does not have the majority of its own ? He is dependent on Allies. Parkala Prabhakar says that he will be surprised if Modi govt passes the floor test .
मोदी सरकार की सबसे बड़ी चुनौती है संसद में बहुमत साबित करना । चंद्र बाबू नायडू और नीतीश कुमार ने फ़िलहाल मज़बूती से मोदी को समर्थन देने का फ़ैसला किया है । लेकिन सबसे बड़ा सवाल कई बार पलटी मारने वाले इन नेताओं पर कितना भरोसा किया जा सकता है ? क्या वो समर्थन की पूरी क़ीमत नहीं वसूलेंगे ? जाने माने बुद्धिजीवी और वित्त मंत्री निर्मला स्वीकारने के पति परकाला प्रभाकर का कहना है कि मोदी के लिये फ़्लोर टेस्ट पास करना मुश्किल होगा
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNnAQbv7FJg In a 30-minute interview to Karan Thapar for _THE WIRE_, Dr. Parakala said he is not at all sure how long the new Narendra Modi government will last. To begin with, he questioned whether it will even be formed and then, if it is, he questioned whether it will survive a vote of confidence in the Lok Sabha. If it does he said there is a very high possibility that in the next few months the Prime Minister may be changed, either under pressure from his own Party or the RSS or NDA allies. And there is even the possibility that Chandrababu Naidu and Nitish Kumar could walk out.
Dr. Parakala Prabhakar said the challenge facing the Prime Minister is a simple but monumental one: “Can old Mr. Modi become new Mr. Modi?” When asked if this is possible, Dr. Parakala, in turn, asked a question, have you ever heard of a wolf in sheep’s clothing actually imagining himself to be a sheep? Dr. Parakala said Mr. Modi has always been a wolf in wolf’s clothing.
The Modi Myth Has Been Shattered, Is It Time for Him to Resign? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GkJu2rg_0F4 The Wire Jun 4, 2024
All the results of the Lok Sabha elections 2024 are out, it can now be said that the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has not been able to repeat the success of the last two Lok Sabha elections, and has fallen far behind the claims of getting a majority.
The BJP, which gave the slogan 'Abki Baar 400 Paar', is leading in 240 seats till the time of writing the news, which is much less than the majority figure of 272 in the 543-member Lok Sabha. At the same time, the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) is around 290 seats.
Although the NDA alliance is getting the required majority to gain power at the Center, the possibilities cannot be ruled out. NDA allies like JDU and TDP play an important role in this 2024 election.

Gandhian Trusteeship & Non-Violence: The Basis for a Creative Society https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zdt6VRyOmY Gateway House: Indian Council on Global Relations Feb 21, 2014
Societies around the world are struggling to combat problems arising out of environmental crises and growing inequality between the rich and poor, which constitute major risks to economic and social stability. As these problems escalate, there is a need to look at unconventional solutions; Mahatma Gandhi's idea of Trusteeship provides the basis for a creative solution to problems of inequality and environmental crises.
The idea of Trusteeship is based on the premise that you are never really the 'owner' of wealth but rather its temporary holder, as a benevolent custodian. Gandhi was confident that eventually Trusteeship would offer an alternative to both capitalism and socialism. What was the reasoning behind Gandhi's idea of Trusteeship? How does it go beyond philanthropy and CSR? How can it serve as the foundation for a non-violent and creative society?
We will be hosting a Google Hangout with Rajni Bakshi, Senior Gandhi Peace Fellow, Gateway House. She explains what Gandhi's philosophy of trusteeship really means and discusses its relevance in finding solutions to societal problems like income inequality and global crises like climate change. She will engage in conversation with Aashni Biyani, founder and director of Future Ideas, a Future Group company, on "Gandhian Trusteeship and Non-violence: the Basis for a Creative Society" on February 21, 2014 at 6:30 PM IST on a Google Hangout
