What does Gurbani actually say about Seva and why are Harteerath Alhuwalia and Ravi Singh getting it completely wrong? In this episode of The Sikh Renaissance we go directly to Guru Amardas's Shabad on Seva and let Gurmat speak for itself. Using the Bihar flooding incident as a launching point we expose how liberalized Sikhs have turned Seva into an Instagram charade that serves their own ego rather than the Guru's Panth. Guru Amardas is unambiguous. The only supreme Seva is Seva of the Guru and his Sikhs. Everything else is Manmukhi. Sikhi unfiltered. No apologies.

The Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls, which began in Bihar last year, has resulted in more than 13 crore names being removed from draft rolls across 30 States and Union Territories, putting the Election Commission at the centre of an intense public debate.But questions about the exercise were also raised within the three-member Election Commission itself. An investigation by The Indian Express found that Election Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi formally objected, at least 14 times over 10 months, to decisions taken and orders issued, they say, without their knowledge.In this episode, we discuss this unprecedented rift within the Election Commission with The Indian Express' Ritika Chopra, who investigated the story.Hosted and produced by Shashank BhargavaEdited and mixed by Suresh Pawar

First, we speak with The Indian Express' Himanshu Harsh about a recent case that surfaced in Bihar where a teenage girl and boy were questioned and assaulted, and the girl was molested.

When a broken heart turns into a blueprint, one woman can quietly change the fate of thousands. In this episode, Christine sits down with Sister Lucy Kurien, the visionary founder of Maher (“Mother's Home”), an interfaith, caste-free network of homes for women, children, and men in India. Called to ServeSister Lucy Kurien was born in 1956 in Kolayad, Kannur District, Kerala, India. After several years of formal education, at age 14 she moved to Mumbai, where she was profoundly distressed by the appalling poverty and squalor in the city. Having carried a strong inner desire for justice since childhood, she felt a deep calling to make a difference in the lives of the poor and famished around her. In 1980, she joined Sisters of the Cross, a religious order. It was a difficult decision that meant giving up the bliss of an independent and free life. After 4 years of training, she was professed to the order.The Birth of MaherSister Lucy started Maher activities in a small home in Vadhu Budruk, near Bhima Koregaon on the Ahmednagar highway. Her tireless efforts and the work of the dedicated staff led to the expansion of Maher activities to nearby areas. These include the villages in Shirur, Haveli and Khed talukas, as well as the city of Ratnagiri, Miraj & Satara in Maharashtra. Beyond Maharashtra, Maher has established homes in Kerala, Jharkhand, West Bengal, Karnataka, Bihar and Andhra Pradesh. In 2011, unable to ignore the plight of abandoned men on the streets, Maher opened its first home for destitute, aged, and mentally challenged men. Today Maher reaches the life of the poorest of the poor through as many as 25 different outreach projects, including 672 village self-help groups and 75 interfaith, caste-free homes that currently shelter 996 children and 292 men and over 798 destitute women. Since its founding, Maher has provided care and shelter for more than 6200 children, 6,500 women, and 850 men.In this conversation, you'll hear how Sister Lucy transforms heartbreak into practical compassion—turning love into food, shelter, education, mental health care, and long-term dignity.Press play to hear Sister Lucy's extraordinary story and what it truly means to be “the medicine and refuge” in a hurting world—and if her work moves you, please donate to Maher.

At least 273 individuals have been confirmed deceased, with over 1,300 still unaccounted for following a catastrophic glacial collapse that triggered severe flash floods and landslides along the Nepal-Tibet border.This disaster, which occurred early Wednesday, released a tremendous surge of water, mud, ice, and boulders that devastated Himalayan communities and river systems.  The rapidly advancing wall of mud and debris—characterized by environmental historians as an "inland tsunami"—traveled nearly 170 kilometers (100 miles) southward, destroying homes, roads, bridges, and essential hydropower infrastructure across seven districts in Nepal.The death toll continues to escalate as search and rescue teams access remote valleys: Nepal: Local police have reported at least 270 fatalities, with more than 820 individuals still missing. Among those unaccounted for are over 500 foreign nationals from countries such as the United States, India, Australia, Britain, Canada, and Singapore. Many were trekking in the area or engaged in a pilgrimage to Tibet's revered Mount Kailash.Tibet (China): Chinese officials have confirmed 3 fatalities and 558 individuals missing, including 260 foreigners. A significant mudslide near the Gyirong Port border crossing has resulted in debris accumulation of up to 2 meters deep, entirely severing road access. The Nepalese Army has initiated extensive helicopter operations to airlift survivors and stranded tourists to Kathmandu. Concurrently, China has dispatched hundreds of emergency personnel, sniffer dogs, and speedboats to the Gyirong county area. The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) is actively sending emergency supplies to assist over 1,200 displaced villagers.Researchers, along with the US Geological Survey, have verified that the disaster was triggered by a significant collapse of glacial ice and rock, rather than an earthquake. Specialists caution that climate change is hastening the melting of glaciers and destabilizing the ice system in the Himalayas, leading to the Lhende Khola river network experiencing two floods within a mere 14 months. Flood alerts for downstream areas continue to be in place for the densely populated northern Indian states of Bihar and Uttar Pradesh.

The ballot cast by a landless labourer counts the same as the one cast by the landlord whose fields he works. In this way, democracy can give excluded or subordinate groups access to political power.That's not what has happened, at least, not in large parts of the Global South. Amit Ahuja (UC Santa Barbara) calls those at the bottom of the social order "subaltern groups". Three barriers stand between their votes and any lasting gain. Violence that goes unpunished. The erasure of their shared culture and history by those in power. And they have too little money and organisation to campaign for their rights.The evidence shows that since 2014 the gains that these groups made in the previous three decades have started to reverse, he warns. The old hierarchies are reasserting themselves.The research behind this episode:Ahuja, Amit. 2026. "Subaltern Mobilization in the Global South." Annual Review of Political Science 29: 391-411. Open access.To cite this episode:Phillips, Tim, and Amit Ahuja. 2026. "Caste, race, and power: The barriers to political inclusion." VoxDev Talks (podcast).About the guestAmit Ahuja is Associate Professor of Political Science at the University of California, Santa Barbara, with research spanning ethnic parties and movements, military organisation, caste, and the politics of inclusion and exclusion in multiethnic societies. His book Mobilizing the Marginalized: Ethnic Parties Without Ethnic Movements won the 2020 Kamaladevi Chattopadhyay NIF Book Prize. He co-edited Internal Security in India: Violence, Order, and the State with Devesh Kapur.Research cited in this episodeSubaltern. The word means "of inferior rank" and was used by Antonio Gramsci in the Prison Notebooks to describe groups subordinated by a ruling elite. Ahuja gives it three working attributes: a stigmatised identity acquired at birth, disproportionate poverty, and disadvantage that passes from one generation to the next.Ranked and unranked social orders. Donald Horowitz, in Ethnic Groups in Conflict (1985; University of California Press, 2000 edition), separates societies where groups sit in a vertical hierarchy from those where they sit side by side. The Hausa-Fulani, Igbo and Yoruba in Nigeria, and Maronite Christians, Sunnis and Shia in Lebanon, compete without one being formally subordinate to another. Hierarchy is not a universal feature of diverse societies.Greed against grievance. Paul Collier and Anke Hoeffler argued in 2004 that people join insurgencies to capture resources such as diamonds or minerals; Ted Gurr's Why Men Rebel (1970) argued instead that rebellion follows the gap between what people have and what they expect. Ahuja adds a third answer drawn from ethnography.The dignity of insurgency. Elisabeth Wood's study of El Salvador (2003) and Alpa Shah's work on Maoist central India (2013) both find that the poor support armed movements partly because insurgents treat them better than landlords and state officials do. Participation confers dignity in a setting built to deny it.The identity penalty. Devorah Manekin and Tamar Mitts (2022) find that nonviolent campaigns led by marginalised groups attract less popular participation and fewer elite defections than comparable campaigns led by dominant groups. Nonviolence works, but not equally well for everyone.Undocumented rights. Afro-descendant communities on Colombia's Pacific coast, the San in the Central Kalahari, and Adivasis in India's forests all hold customary claims that colonial and postcolonial registries never recorded. Without a written record they are reclassified; Adivasis became "encroachers" under British forest law and the conservation regimes that followed.The Dalit Panthers. Formed in western India in the 1970s, the group combined revolutionary politics with armed self-protection for Dalits facing caste violence, taking its name and some of its style from the Black Panther Party.Military service as a school for organisers. Black South Africans recruited during the Second World War, and Dalits taken into the British Indian Army during the world wars, both emerged with leadership training and a more assertive political style. Dominant groups are usually reluctant to arm subaltern populations; labour shortages force the question.The Indian Election Commission. Amit Ahuja and Susan Ostermann (2018) trace how the commission secured polling stations through the 1990s and 2000s, which made it possible for parties to bring marginalised voters to the poll. Institutional autonomy, backed by the courts, can partly offset a coercive environment.Co-optation in Bolivia. Movimiento al Socialismo absorbed parts of the country's Indigenous movement and blunted its radical edge. Alignment with a party brings resources and patronage positions; it can also cost a movement its original demands.More VoxDev Talks episodesCan contact between groups reduce prejudice? Matt Lowe on why decades of evidence for the contact hypothesis look weaker under preregistration, and why prejudice does not simply fade with development.Caste, identity, and worker productivity in India Daniel Keniston on how caste still sorts Indians into occupations, and what the economy loses because of it.Related reading on VoxDev.orgSomething to complain about: How minority representatives overcome ethnic barriers, on a formal complaints system in Bihar that gave Scheduled Caste ward members leverage over village heads who were holding up their projects.How expanding voting rights shaped politics in India. Franchise expansion in 1935 and 1950 barely moved turnout or competition, and yet it shifted public spending towards the newly enfranchised.No representation without reservation: The long-term limits of gender quotas in India, on what happens to descriptive representation once the quota is withdrawn.

As a despairing teenager, Abraham was about to commit suicide when he heard the audible voice of God. Bihar in Northern India was known as the graveyard of missions - 90 million people fiercely resistant to the gospel. He went in obedience, and after ten years of persecution and rejection had nothing to show for it. Kidnap and murder attempts did not deter him. The second decade saw a trickle, and now several decades later it has become a flood, with numerous schools and churches planted, and thousands of lives saved. The graveyard is now a vineyard.

How does an Australian guy end up speaking better Hindi than the host of this podcast? That's where this conversation with Joseph Freeman starts.Joe grew up in Sydney's northern beaches, a part of Australia he describes as culturally insular - not much diversity growing up, and nobody really talking about the different backgrounds kids around him came from. His path to Hindi started somewhere unexpected: a gap year job in Hong Kong, working for an NGO that took secondhand goods from the city and shipped them to grassroots charities elsewhere. There, he found himself surrounded by Indian, Pakistani, Nepali and Bangladeshi friends who all defaulted to speaking Hindi with each other, regardless of which country they were actually from.He came back to Sydney and turned it into a full university major in 1999, at a time when the program was small enough that some classes were taught by video link to a lecturer at ANU in Canberra - genuinely novel technology at the time. Partway through the degree, he did a two-month intensive Hindi course in Rishikesh, which counted toward a year of credit. Before it started, he deliberately routed himself through small UP towns - Jaunpur, Rampur, Sitapur, Muradabad, Bareilly - specifically so he'd have no choice but to actually use the language, rather than falling back on English.A year later, living in Rajasthan, his cook - a man from Bihar who'd also spent time in Punjab - taught him vocabulary and cooking side by side, and neither of them could always say for certain which region a particular word or dish technically belonged to. That's the backstory behind the poha video Joe eventually posted online, beans and all, which earned him hundreds of comments insisting "beans nahi dalna."We also get into the reel that changed the scale of everything for him - Joe lip-syncing PM Modi's speech during his Australia visit, which crossed a million views while he was out at his dad's birthday dinner. From there: copycat reels from other creators, AI-generated versions circulating, news outlets reposting the clip without credit, and a CNN call that came with zero preparation - no briefing on what would be asked, cameras and lighting being adjusted live while the interview was already underway. Joe talks about which parts of that whole experience actually meant something to him - it wasn't the big outlets, but the small local papers that took time to ask real questions.We also get into how he handles the hate comments that inevitably show up, why he's stopped taking them personally, and why - despite everything that's happened with the account - he has no plans to make any of this his full-time job. He still works a regular job, and says he'd rather keep the account something people can genuinely connect with than chase where it could go commercially.Guest: Joseph FreemanNaina: Instagram | Website | YouTube | Come on the podcast: naina.co/product/the-100-podcast

This episode featured a conversation with Ramnarayan Rawat, K. Satyanarayana, and Sanal Mohan, three scholars in the burgeoning field of Dalit Studies. We began with the significance of the 1990s as a point of departure for new work in this field and segued to the interventions made by their two edited volumes published in 2016 and 2025. We discussed the paths opened up by earlier radical historiographical paradigms, such as Subaltern Studies, which nonetheless failed to address the caste question. The guests noted three key emphases of contemporary Dalit Studies: one, centering Dalit historical agency and intellectual production; two, decentering the binary of colonialism and nationalism, and illuminating the colonial period as a complex terrain of maneuver; and three, foregrounding the importance of “the Dalit social” as a field of variegated power irreducible to the state. We ended with a discussion of the heterogeneity of Dalit sociopolitical formations, what makes “Dalit” cohere as a category, and future directions for the field of Dalit Studies.

This episode featured a conversation with Ramnarayan Rawat, K. Satyanarayana, and Sanal Mohan, three scholars in the burgeoning field of Dalit Studies. We began with the significance of the 1990s as a point of departure for new work in this field and segued to the interventions made by their two edited volumes published in 2016 and 2025. We discussed the paths opened up by earlier radical historiographical paradigms, such as Subaltern Studies, which nonetheless failed to address the caste question. The guests noted three key emphases of contemporary Dalit Studies: one, centering Dalit historical agency and intellectual production; two, decentering the binary of colonialism and nationalism, and illuminating the colonial period as a complex terrain of maneuver; and three, foregrounding the importance of “the Dalit social” as a field of variegated power irreducible to the state. We ended with a discussion of the heterogeneity of Dalit sociopolitical formations, what makes “Dalit” cohere as a category, and future directions for the field of Dalit Studies.

Why is Gen Z choosing loans over credit cards in India? Younger Indians are changing how they borrow, spend and enter the formal credit system, with phone loans, consumer finance and personal loans increasingly becoming their first experience with credit.In this episode of The Core Report Weekend Edition, Financial Journalist Govindraj Ethiraj speaks with Bhavesh Jain, MD & CEO, TransUnion CIBIL, about why Gen Z is choosing loans over credit cards, the rapid growth of consumer credit in India and what changing borrowing behaviour tells us about the Indian economy.India's credit-active population has risen sharply over the past decade. But an equally important shift is taking place in how Indians borrow. Younger consumers are increasingly entering the credit market through phone financing and consumer durable loans rather than credit cards. UPI has also transformed how Indians make everyday payments, while personal loans and point-of-sale financing have given borrowers more alternatives to traditional cards.So are credit cards losing relevance with younger Indians?The conversation looks at why India's credit card market has recently seen slower growth in cardholders, why existing users are accumulating multiple cards and why accessibility and convenience are reshaping consumer finance.Govindraj and Bhavesh also examine the extraordinary rise of gold loans, growing participation by women borrowers, rising formal credit in Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Madhya Pradesh, and how India's MSMEs are increasingly using working capital loans.They also discuss the bigger economic question behind India's borrowing boom. Credit can fuel consumption, entrepreneurship and economic growth, but what happens when leverage among younger borrowers rises too quickly?Watch the full conversation for a data-driven look at Gen Z borrowing, credit cards in India, consumer loans, UPI, CIBIL scores, gold loans, MSME credit, financial inclusion and the changing Indian economy.Chapters(01:22) The Biggest Credit Trends of the Last Decade(02:13) Why 28% of Indians Are Now Credit Active(02:41) Credit Growth and India's Economic Expansion(03:22) The Shift From New-to-Credit to Existing Borrowers(04:27) Gen Z Is Reshaping India's Credit Market(05:07) Why Young Indians Finance Phones Before Homes(05:55) Business Owners Are Borrowing Personally(07:04) Gold Loans: India's Fastest Growing Credit Segment(08:11) Why Women Are Using Gold Loans for Business(08:38) Women, Gen Z & Credit-Mature Borrowers(09:30) Why Checking Your CIBIL Score Matters(10:36) Credit Growth Beyond India's Metro Cities(11:36) Uttar Pradesh Emerges as India's Credit Leader(13:39) Inside India's MSME Credit Story(14:14) Why 88% of MSME Credit Goes to Small Businesses(14:49) How MSMEs Improved Credit Quality After COVID(16:45) Why Working Capital Loans Are Dominating(17:31) Banks Are Rewarding Low-Risk Borrowers(17:56) India's Massive MSME Credit Opportunity(19:30) Retail Credit Health: Delinquencies & Debt(21:57) Has Credit Growth Become Too Aggressive?(24:10) The Rise of Digital Lending & AI Underwriting(26:59) Why UPI Is Transforming India's Credit Ecosystem(28:13) The Future of Consumer Lending in India(31:00) Can India Reach Developed-Market Credit Levels?(33:00) Building a Credit-Fit India(36:14) Advice for Every MSME OwnerWhy is Gen Z choosing loans over credit cards in India?

Prashant Kishor ended 31-year BJP reign in Bankipur, sealing a stunning victory in the Bihar constituency. #CutTheClutter Episode 1873 looks at the implications of Prashant Kishor's victory in Bankipur. ThePrint Editor-In-Chief Shekhar Gupta also explains what it says about Bihar & national politics, and why it is unlikely to have an influence on 2026 UP elections.

Every nation has a story, but some chapters are written in blood. For decades, India fought an enemy that didn't wear a uniform - an ideology that spread through forests, cities and silence, in one of the longest internal-security battles in the country's history. Roshan Cariappa sits down with Tuhin A. Sinha - BJP National Spokesperson, author of 14 books, and now the writer of a comprehensive new book "Naxal Terror Vanquished: The Long War against Maoism, and the Doctrine That Ended It." This book discusses how India confronted and pushed back Naxal terror. We've had Tuhin on the show before - last time, to talk delimitation, the women's reservation bill and the coalition arithmetic of the Monsoon Session. This time the conversation turns to something bigger and bloodier. His starting point is a memory gap: Gen Z and Gen Alpha never saw this threat at its peak, and the country readjusted so fast that few remember how bad it got. In 2010 alone, over a thousand people were killed in Naxal violence - 74 CRPF jawans ambushed at Dantewada, and the Gyaneshwari Express sabotaged in West Bengal, killing 150. This, he argues, was never a "socio-economic problem" - it was an out-and-out terror movement. From there the conversation traces the full arc: the origins in Naxalbari in 1967, the role of "urban Naxals" in supplying funds and arms, the Salwa Judum movement and the price its leaders paid, and the turnaround that followed - the convergence of security agencies across a seven-state Red Corridor, the surrender-and-rehabilitation policy, Operation Kagar's final push, and the development story behind it. Tuhin's central claim is a bold one: that Naxalism has been pushed to the brink of extinction. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - The enemy that didn't wear a uniform 01:20 - Welcome back to Bharatvaarta 02:08 - How serious a threat was Naxalism, really? 03:06 - Dantewada & the Gyaneshwari Express: how deadly it got 04:36 - When a leader calls a Naxal his role model 05:10 - Where it began: Naxalbari, 1967 06:30 - How it evolved - students, Bihar & caste 08:05 - The UPA years: scrapping POTA & the NAC 08:36 - Salwa Judum, and the myth about tribal support 11:37 - Struck down: the fresh wave of violence & the leaders killed 12:54 - Why "socio-economic problem" was a fatal misreading 13:47 - Urban Naxals: the supply of funds and arms 17:52 - What this government did differently 20:26 - The surrender & rehabilitation policy 21:16 - Operation Kagar: the final phase 22:45 - Bastar Olympics & bringing fighters into the mainstream 24:46 - Development as the closing chapter: Modi for tribals 26:02 - Will Naxalism ever return?

BIGGEST BLUNDER: Modi takes Back FIRs in Bihar, Assam | Kapil Sibal और CJP की मोदी को सीधी चुनौती

CADENA 100 ofrece la mejor variedad musical. En '¡Buenos días, Javi y Mar!', se descubre el daxofón, un instrumento de madera creado por Hans Reichel en 1987 que imita la voz humana, ideal para películas de terror. También se revela que en la icónica escena de la ducha de "Psicosis" de Alfred Hitchcock, la sangre es chocolate negro para un mejor efecto visual en blanco y negro. Fernando Martín presenta una noticia real: en Bihar, India, una mujer bloquea la señal de telefonía de su novio y de todo el vecindario al subirse a una torre tras una discusión. Además, se explica cómo un ambiente ligeramente frío favorece la productividad y el sueño, mejorando la concentración en el trabajo.

First, we speak to The Indian Express' Sabah Virani about the landslide that struck the newly inaugurated Mumbai-Pune Expressway Missing Link during its first monsoon, and what the incident reveals about the engineering, safety measures, and long-term resilience of one of Maharashtra's biggest infrastructure projects.Next, we talk to The Indian Express' Sukhbir Siwach about the case of a 16-year-old migrant boy from Bihar who was found in Haryana with his arm severed, and how the incident has exposed the vulnerability of migrant children to exploitation despite existing labour protections. (11:20)And in the end, we look at a CBI investigation into an alleged scholarship fraud in Bhopal, where nearly ₹99.5 lakh meant for MBA students was allegedly siphoned off through bank accounts opened in their names without their knowledge.

How Suvendhu, Himanta are Helping Yogi | Bihar Blunders by BJP | Abhishek Tiwari

Marry the problem, not the product! In this episode, I sit down with social entrepreneur Nikky Kumar Jha, the first engineer from his small village in Bihar, India. Nikky initially set out to tackle massive global issues like climate change—until a professor advised him to look in his own backyard. What he found was a devastating local crisis: despite the fertile soil along the Ganges, farmers were losing 40% of their produce to rot because standard refrigeration was too expensive and the rural power grid was too unreliable. From a "hilarious" first prototype that short-circuited in 30 minutes, Nikky went on to build a tech revolution for the "last mile." This episode covers the messy reality of grassroots innovation, why Nikky turned down a massive investment on Shark Tank, and how his hardware is transforming local economies. Finally he shares the amazing story of a visually impaired woman who used his device to boost her profits so much, she built her own home.   Episode Highlights The Solution: How a portable, 20-watt storage unit extends the shelf life of produce by 3-5x without refrigeration or chemicals. Massive Impact: The tech is already cutting food waste by over 40% and boosting the income of small marginal farmers and street hawkers by 60% to 70%. Designing for Reality: Why building for a "utopian world" fails, and how local power fluctuations (110-volt vs 220-volt) forced a complete redesign. Leverage Design Thinking: Aspiring founders should conduct thorough empathy studies and regularly utilize the Business Model Canvas (BMC) to manage execution. Management Style: Nikky kumar jha described their management style as encouraging entrepreneurship, stating that they do not fire employees. Instead, they encourage employees to eventually start their own ventures, offering to introduce them to the ecosystem and investors. IEEE Global Involvement: Nikky kumar jha serves as a lead for IEEE CS Global's special projects, including a global incubation center. They credited their network within the IEEE ecosystem for helping them overcome problems and find new collaborative opportunities. The Shark Tank Rejection: The real reason Nikky walked away from a Shark Tank India offer to keep his focus strictly on marginalized farmers instead of third-party vendors. Revitalizing Rural Ecosystems: How moving his factory back to his home village in Bihar created dignified jobs and actively stopped youth migration to the cities. Co-founder Dynamics: Nikky kumar jha advocated for having family members as co-founders to avoid disputes, provided they possess complementary skills. Their sister, a biotechnologist, and their brother, who focuses on sales, are their current co-founders. Hometime Hero. Instead of building his empire in a massive tech hub, Nikky moved his factory right back to his village in Bihar. This move created dignified local jobs and actually stopped the migration of youth leaving the village for city work. What's Next: A sneak peek at an affordable, modular housing that can be assembled in 15 minutes for flood-prone areas. The Founder's Playbook "Marry the problem, not the product." Ideas are worthless unless they execute on a genuine local problem. Nail the Customer Service: Never launch a hardware product in a geography where you cannot realistically provide service and maintenance. Resources & Links Connect with Nikky Kumar Jha on LinkedIn.

VOV1 - Theo báo cáo mới được Chính phủ Ấn Độ công bố, lần đầu tiên trong lịch sử hiện đại, tỷ lệ sinh của nước này đã giảm xuống dưới mức thay thế dân số, đánh dấu bước ngoặt quan trọng trong quá trình phát triển nhân khẩu học của quốc gia đông dân nhất thế giới.Theo Báo cáo Hệ thống Đăng ký Mẫu (SRS), tỷ lệ sinh tổng cộng (TFR) của Ấn Độ hiện chỉ còn 1,9 con trên mỗi phụ nữ, thấp hơn mức 2,1 con cần thiết để duy trì quy mô dân số ổn định trong dài hạn. Trong khi đó, vào đầu những năm 2000, chỉ số này vẫn ở mức khoảng 3,3 con trên mỗi phụ nữ.Các chuyên gia nhận định xu hướng suy giảm mức sinh phản ánh những thay đổi sâu sắc về kinh tế và xã hội tại Ấn Độ. Việc phụ nữ được tiếp cận giáo dục tốt hơn, sử dụng các biện pháp kế hoạch hóa gia đình rộng rãi hơn và có vai trò lớn hơn trong quá trình ra quyết định của gia đình đã góp phần làm giảm số con trung bình. Bên cạnh đó, chi phí sinh hoạt và nuôi dạy con cái ngày càng tăng tại các đô thị cũng khiến nhiều cặp vợ chồng lựa chọn sinh ít con hơn.Một nguyên nhân quan trọng khác là tỷ lệ tử vong ở trẻ sơ sinh liên tục giảm. Theo số liệu của Chính phủ Ấn Độ, tỷ lệ tử vong trẻ sơ sinh đã giảm từ 30 ca trên 1.000 trẻ năm 2019 xuống còn 24 ca vào năm 2024, qua đó làm giảm tâm lý phải sinh nhiều con để bảo đảm duy trì quy mô gia đình như trước đây.Báo cáo cũng cho thấy sự chênh lệch đáng kể về mức sinh giữa các bang. Những bang có thu nhập thấp ở miền Bắc như Bihar và Uttar Pradesh vẫn ghi nhận tỷ lệ sinh cao nhất cả nước, lần lượt là 2,9 và 2,6 con trên mỗi phụ nữ. Trong khi đó, thủ đô New Delhi cùng các bang phát triển ở miền Nam như Kerala và Tamil Nadu chỉ ghi nhận mức từ 1,2 đến 1,3 con.Các nhà kinh tế cảnh báo xu hướng này có thể làm suy giảm lợi thế dân số vàng - động lực quan trọng thúc đẩy tăng trưởng kinh tế của Ấn Độ trong hơn hai thập kỷ qua. Khi số trẻ em sinh ra ngày càng ít, lực lượng lao động trong tương lai sẽ thu hẹp, trong khi số người cao tuổi tiếp tục gia tăng, tạo áp lực lớn đối với hệ thống y tế, lương hưu và an sinh xã hội.Trước thực trạng trên, một số bang đã triển khai các biện pháp khuyến khích sinh con như hỗ trợ tài chính cho gia đình sinh con thứ ba, thứ tư hoặc mở rộng các chương trình hỗ trợ sinh sản. Tuy nhiên, nhiều chuyên gia cho rằng bên cạnh các chính sách khuyến sinh, Ấn Độ cần sớm chuẩn bị cho quá trình già hóa dân số thông qua việc tăng cường đầu tư cho y tế, lương hưu và hệ thống an sinh xã hội trong những thập niên tới./.Ảnh minh họa (Reuters)

On Wednesday, 21 people were killed in a massive fire at a south Delhi hotel. And the next day, five people perished in another fire in the ICU of a hospital in Bihar. Such incidents are becoming too frequent in India. The Delhi fire, in particular, has exposed huge gaps in the enforcement of basic fire safety and building norms. The Delhi government has now ordered all such commercial establishments in the area to be sealed, and it is reworking the law that governs Bed and Breakfast establishments. But is this too little too late? Is it enough to prevent such tragedies in the future? This accident raises many troubling questions, and joining us today are two reporters who were on the ground covering this tragedy for The Hindu, Shrimansi Kaushik and Suruchi Kumari.
