Being on guard against perpetrators of terror
The car blast near the Red Fort on November 10 — later identified as a terror incident by the government — has shocked the nation. Often, such incidents spark immediate speculation and deepen divides, with all sorts of narratives not based on facts fanned by various parties. Against such a backdrop, the media must be commended for providing exhaustive yet objective and fact-based coverage of the incident this time. This is the ideal way we can build public opinion against terror and induce our society to lend its weight to our security agencies fighting the uneven war that is terrorism.

Deregulation as a tool to discipline the State
Deregulation is among the most consequential administrative reforms undertaken by the State. India’s ongoing efforts to simplify procedures, reduce paperwork, and replace imprisonment ‘with monetary penalties marka decisive shiftin ‘governance, enhancing predictability, lowering transaction costs, and signalling trust in citizens and enterprises. The Jan Vishwas (Amendment of Provisions) Act, 2023 and the Jan Vishwas (Amendment of Provisions) Bill, 2025 embody this transition from a permission-and-penalty regime to a trust-based government.
