In this episode of Bharatvaarta, host Sharan engages in a deep and insightful conversation with Professor Goutham Desiraju from the Indian Institute of Science. The discussion revolves around Professor Desiraju's follow-up book on the delimitation of states in India, a pressing and contentious topic in contemporary Indian politics. The conversation addresses the need for equal value of votes across different constituencies, the historical and political context of the delimitation freeze, and the implications of reconfiguring state boundaries. Professor Desiraju provides a comprehensive analysis of how delimitation, if done scientifically and fairly, can help India become a more balanced and prosperous democracy. The episode also touches on the broader themes of governance, the effects of linguistic states, and the importance of electoral reforms in achieving a true global leadership status for Bharat by 2047.

Brexit - "British" and "exit" references the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union. This term was first coined by Peter Wilding, the chairman of British Influence, in a 2012 blog post called "Stumbling Towards the Brexit." Brexit culminates after several decades of history. Originally, the European Communities, predecessor to the EU were created in in the 1950s. Great Britain attempted to join in 1963 and again in '67 but was vetoed by Charles De Gaulle, President of France - some of those not always warm and fuzzy Anglo-French relations. Finally, on the third attempt, the UK joined in 1973 under the Conservative government of Edward Heath. But not everyone was happy with the arrangement. There was a segment of the population known as Eurosceptics - another portmanteau. In the 1970s and 1980s these voices for withdrawal were mostly from the political left. Then in the 1990s the political right started showing opposition to further EU integration and this led to the creation of The United Kingdom Independence Party - UKIP which split off from the Conservative Party. This may also have been a factor in the UK never adopting the euro and staying with the pound sterling as their currency. Prime Minister Tony Blair declared that there were five economic tests that the euro must meet. It failed the five-tests and the pound has remained in the UK. Fast forward nearly 20 years and on June 23 2016, 51.9 percent voted to leave the EU. This vote resulted in Prime Minister David Cameron resigning after losing his campaign against Brexit. He was succeeded by Theresa May. The UK was scheduled to exit March 29th 2019 but that deadline was extended to October 31st. Also in March, Prime Minister Theresa May proposed "slow brexit" but ultimately under pressure she resigned effective June 7th of the year. July 24th 2019 Boris Johnson (BoJo - another portmanteau) was elected Prime Minister in his first statement to the House of Commons as prime minister, he affirmed his absolute commitment to leaving the EU October 31st, with or without any kind of deal. Brexit is a perfect example of the scope and power of one word.

As we work our way through various beverages, we discuss the state of the Tory party and British politics, contemplate what might happen between now and the end of the Brexit Hextension, and whether Change UK really stands any chance of, well, changing the UK.

What a week we've endured so far in the Brexit conundrum! The Prime Minister just suffered the biggest loss in Parliament in political history in what the British public are calling the worst time in modern politics. To ensure that manufacturers are well equipped with both possible outcomes from our divorce with the EU, we caught up with Peter Wilding, the man who literally "invented" the word 'Brexit', a term he calls a "sad word" which was first coined when he wrote it in an article whilst campaigning for more British Influence within Europe. He's the author of "What Next?: Britain's Future in Europe" and a solicitor specialising in European Law.If there was anyone you should listen to when it comes to advice on Brexit, Peter Wilding is your man. We caught up with Peter this morning and asked him for his advice for manufacturing firms post-Brexit and he even offered our audience free telephone consultations via FBC Manby Bowdler, the firm where he now works as their 'Brexit Specialist'.

CAR manufacturers in Spain are offloading an increasing number of motors to countries outside the EU. The Spanish Government may finally follow other democracies by setting time limit on classified documents. Barcelona city council will fine holiday rental websites Airbnb and HomeAway €600,000 (£509,000) each for offering unlicensed accommodation, it has announced, as it steps up its campaign against tourism saturation. Unemployment and precarious labor market is driving up number of young people unable to leave home A document mistakenly revealed by a Tory aide leaving Downing Street yesterday gave a rare glimpse into the Government's stance on EU exit talks. The notes suggest the Government has already given up on staying in the European single market and will not go for a Norway-style deal. Instead they indicate the UK is looking at a 'Canada-plus' trade arrangement, and will leave the jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice as it does not 'fit' with the PM's determination to curb immigration. British Influence – set up by the arch-Europhile Peter Mandelson claimed the Government has no mandate for leaving the European Economic Area. The Equality and Human Rights Commission urged politicians on both sides of the bitter row to tone down their rhetoric saying Breiteers are not racist. Describing Brexit as the UK 'leaving the EU, but not leaving Europe', Beata Szydlo said Poland would conduct negotiations in a 'down-to-earth' manner, and called on other EU nations to do the same. Astonishing footage has emerged of a van driver grappling with a trucker, reversing his van into him and then smashing his victim's window with a shovel. A scathing report found ‘very high’ levels of violence at HMP Hindley, near Wigan, with prisoners often locked in their cells 24 hours a day David Isaac, chairman of the Equality and Human Rights Commission, said employers needed to take a 'common sense' approach when dealing with the Christian holiday. Smelly food in the office has become so prevalent that it is hampering workers’ productivity, a study has found. The habit of eating ‘Al Desko’ has grown that now two thirds of people do it.
