Shekhar Gupta: Justice with judiciousness

While the judiciary remains our most trusted institution, it should debate its internal health

Shekhar Gupta: There is something in the air

It isn't what you think. Political winds haven't shifted yet. But the air is thick with doubts, economic stress is hurting and for the first time since his rise in 2013, the PM is fighting back

Shekhar Gupta: Do minorities matter?

The govt will keep minorities safe, better their social conditions, but may not let them share power

Shekhar Gupta: Keeper of India's family silver

Naresh Chandra was no ordinary patriot. Big-hearted problem-solver, he had the trust of nine PMs

Shekhar Gupta: A case for dehyphenated liberalism

Liberal on society and economy, rigid on security. Downside: will be trolled by both, Left and Right

K P S Gill: The superior cop

K P S Gill was never armed with more than his swagger stick. Yet, he always fought to win

Shekhar Gupta: Three sports stories

Not for sports pages. Their essence isn't sport, but power. And how failure to use it ruins a sport

Shekhar Gupta: Insecurity within

NDA's internal security score now weaker than UPA's; may hit Modi's momentum despite strong messages

Shekhar Gupta: When a national party dumps nationalism

Captain scored a point by taking on Canada's ministers but Modi may use opening better than Congress

Shekhar Gupta: Writings On The UP Wall-I

Aspiration is turning into desperation. Nobody has much hope in an era of new Hindu Rate of Growth

Shekhar Gupta: One belt, one road to world leadership

China's superpower goals are known. India must move on from its 1962 mindset & respond strategically

Shekhar Gupta: The Power of One

That's all it takes to protect an institution - just one person with no past & no greed for future

Shekhar Gupta: Burdened with Indiranomics

The Modi government shows a fascination for rejecting everything Nehru stood for, while embracing his daughter's political economy

Shekhar Gupta: Charge of the Believer Brigade

The original promise of demonetisation has evaporated. We didn't deserve to be hit by a 1,100-volt shock just to switch to digital payments

Shekhar Gupta: The race to demonetise Modi

Demonetisation is Modi's make-or-break gambit for 2019. Opposition leaders see a vulnerability and won't gift pre-eminence to Congress

Shekhar Gupta: Mammaries of the Socialist Raj

The people caught most unprepared by the PM's strike on currency are the bureaucrats. The problem: They've been there, done that

Shekhar Gupta: The WhatsApp governance

After sharp shifts on strategic policies, demonetisation without data, debate, de-risking or war gaming marks Mr Modi's governing style

Shekhar Gupta: Voter ko change pasand hai

No, it isn't change for Rs 1,000 or Rs 500 notes. It's the reason why a post-ideological majority is turning insurgent

Shekhar Gupta: Dial 2016 for Emergency

India is complacent if not complicit as in 1975-77. Dangers are bigger now as we have a clear external enemy, strong economy & feckless opposition

Shekhar Gupta: Soft power, hard battles

Soft power is not just about movies, sport, music and culture. It's also about quality of democracy and institutions, moral influence
