Abhinav Bindra and Anjali Bhagwat are the first names that come to mind when one thinks about shooting as a sport in India. In the early 2000s, Anjali dominated the sport and was the World Champion, having taken up the sport only during her NCC (National Cadet Corps). Her journey was far from beig easy. In the 2000 Sydney Olympics, Anjali reached Australia to compete but her ammunition did not get to Sydney due to bureaucratic issues. She also sheds light on why Abhinav Bindra deserved to win the gold medal at the 2008 Beijing Olympics and how shooting has changed in the last few decades. On Kattyawarchya Gappa, Anjali hits the bull's eye while taking us down the memory lane and taking a deep dive into the world of shooting   भारतात ऑलिंपिक आणि नेमबाजी म्हटलं, कि अभिनव बिंद्राबरोबरच मराठमोळ्या अंजली भागवतचं नावदेखील लगेच डोळ्यासमोर येतं.

The Great War has well and truly ended and miraculously, we have five scarred survivors who look back on the Great War and look forward to a battle of a different kind to be fought on an almost circular battlefield. After gazing wistfully at the credits and debits of the War, they shift their attention to the Final which probably doesn't feel like one. They are hoping for the best but fearing the worst. They are looking at battle formations and weather conditions, jinxes and reverse jinxes, experts and punters. They are eyeing the opposition with brows furrowed and eyes narrowed. They are holding their collective breaths for a battle that's been a long time coming.   Bits and Pieces on Twitter: https://twitter.com/bnp_cricketChops: https://twitter.com/el_chopernosBisi: https://twitter.com/bisibelebhaatHank: https://twitter.com/mohank PGK: https://twitter.com/peegeekay Sandy Ji: https://twitter.com/sandeeplanjewar   Show Notes Hardik Pandya ft.

India Policy Watch: The Road Of FireInsights on burning policy issues in India- RSJThe Union Defence Minister along with the chiefs of the three armed services on Tuesday announced the ‘Agnipath’ scheme for recruitment into the Indian military. You can read more about the scheme here. I have summarised the key features below:The soldiers under this scheme (referred to as ‘Agniveers’) will be enrolled for a duration of four years in a conscription or tour of duty (ToD) like model that’s prevalent in other countries. They will be paid between INR 30,000 - 40,000 per month during their tenure apart from risk or hardship allowance as applicable. 30 per cent of their salary will be deducted as a voluntary contribution into a corpus called ‘SevaNidhi’ with a matching contribution from the government. Roughly put, the soldiers will get this SevaNidhi package of about INR 11.7 Lacs plus the interest accumulated on this amount at the end of their four years of service. Few other post-retirement benefits are thrown in, including a life insurance cover and access to a bank loan of INR 18.2 Lacs against the SevaNidhi package.About 25 per cent of Agniveers will be absorbed into the regular cadre after four years. The rest will receive an Agniveer Skill certificate, the SevaNidhi corpus and some preferential treatment in getting into the Central Armed Police Force (CAPF) and maybe even state police forces. The Agniveers who leave at the end of four years, however, will not get the usual entitlements of gratuity and pension. This is huge. Over a period of couple of decades, this could mean only about 25 per cent of the forces will have the pension benefits that are available to all today. The enrollment under this scheme will be on an all-India and an all-class basis. This will be, by itself, a distinct rank in the armed forces with its own insignia. The likely implications of this are quite significant. The recruitment of soldiers today, especially in the army, is based on state-wise quotas and on the retirement of soldiers from various regiments that are class based. Class here should be read as an euphemism for caste or community. Drawing Agniveers on an all-class basis will mean withering away from the traditional structure of regiments. It could also mean a larger representation of states where unemployment rates are high because there might not be state-wise quotas anymore. This could further alter the composition mix of the armed forces.The government also positioned this as a move that will infuse youth and vitality (or ‘josh’ and ‘jazba’ as mentioned in various media reports) into the armed forces. The whole thing including the names Agnipath and Agniveer sounds like a campaign for an early 1990s Nana Patekar film. You could soon shoehorn Agni Pariksha (for the recruitment tests), Krantiveer (best Agniveer cadet), Yugpurush (lifetime achievement award for Agniveers), Angaar, Tiranga, Prahaar and so on. You get the picture. We are in this territory now. Anyway, the average age of the armed forces which is 32 now will come down by about five years. The younger workforce will be more technology-savvy that will be more attuned to the changing nature of modern warfare. Also, the 75 per cent of Agniveers who will go back into civil society will serve as a disciplined and nationalistic labour pool to draw from for organisations. There will be Agniveers in every village and taluk who will improve the moral fibre of our society. We will have no riots, no littering, no traffic violations and no crime. The retired Agniveers will change us. Because they will put the nation first. Always. Like Arnab. Well, that’s the official line anyway. BacklashUnfortunately, the response to the scheme hasn’t been what the government was expecting. There have been protests, arson and general lawlessness by unemployed youth that seems to be spreading across the country at the moment. A large section of retired armed forces officials too have questioned both the scale and speed of a change like this. The issues agitating them have some basis:There have been very few recruitment rallies during the two years of the pandemic. About 60,000 soldiers retire every year and this gap is filled up during the regular recruitment drives. It is safe to assume there's a 1.5 Lac gap that’s opened up since 2020. The expectation among aspirants was this will get filled up in the next year or so. That apart, there are those in the middle of their recruitment process who are unclear about their status now. Roughly put, there could be more than a crore of youngsters under the age of 21 who were waiting for these recruitment drives to restart. What they have now instead is about 46,000 open positions for the current year with a 25 per cent probability of a long-term career in armed services with full benefits. If you work the numbers, it also suggests a reduction in armed forces count by about 1.5 - 2 Lacs (about 10-15 per cent of the workforce) over the next four years. I’m not sure if that’s also a stated intent of this scheme but it will be a collateral result unless the Agniveer recruitment numbers are ramped up significantly in the following years.There is an inherent contradiction in acknowledging a modern military requires advanced warfare systems, technical know-how and expertise that takes years to build and having only 25 percent of personnel working on longer tenure commissions. Will the constant churn come in the way of managing these systems? Will there be institutionalised knowledge management that will be able to handle this scenario? Also, the eventual dismantling of the class-based system that this move seems to portend will need to be thought through. It is fundamental to how the army operates today.The other question is about the prospects of the 75 per cent who will be released every four years. This is a number that will keep rising over a period of time. All the romanticisation of the armed forces and its discipline aside, these will be youngsters without a college degree and with limited technical skills. How useful will they be to the wider world? Not much if you go by the current record of hiring of retired defence personnel. They will have to study further and acquire specific skills to be employable. To expect CAPF or the state police force to absorb them is a bit optimistic. Also, there are aspirants for those jobs too with their own patronage system who will scuttle these moves. Lastly, for all the josh and jazba that are likely to come free because of this move, it will be useful to understand the repercussions of having a workforce that knows only one in four among them will qualify for the longer commission. What behaviour will this engender in them? How objective will the criteria for selection be? And if the 75 per cent who are released struggle to get jobs and earn their livelihoods, the feedback loop to the future cohorts will be immediate. The situation will turn more fraught at the end of every four-year cycle. The comparison with other countries that have a ToD model is useful but it is important to appreciate we are a US$ 2000 per capita economy with over 40 per cent of the employable labour pool either without a job or underemployed. In other countries, those who want to continue to be in the armed forces almost self-select themselves. These arguments, for and against aside, this is a good example to understand the complexities of policymaking, especially in defence, in India. A Difficult ProblemLet’s begin with the single most important policy objective for armed forces now in India. This is quite stark and apparent - it needs to modernise its defence infrastructure and increase its capacity in areas of modern warfare like the air force and navy. Given the threat perception on its borders, this is an already delayed exercise. You can read a detailed ORF report on India’s platform modernisation deficit here for more. TL;DR: yes, we do have a modernisation challenge on hand. And it is quite bad.Now the key question is what’s coming in the way of modernisation? There are multiple answers to this but on the top of that list is a lack of funds. The defence budget has broadly remained around 2.2 per cent of the GDP over the last decade. India has struggled to contain its fiscal deficit and it has limited ability to allocate more to its defence budget. As we have written on umpteen occasions, the Indian state is spread wide and thin. It does way too many things badly. Therefore, it cannot find money to do things it must. More importantly, pension benefits (24 per cent) and wages (28 per cent) take up over half of its budget. These numbers, especially pension outlays, will continue to grow in the coming years as the full impact of OROP (one rank one pension) plays out. The OROP that came into effect in late 2015 is a known and acknowledged policy mistake that is quite simply unsustainable. But it is almost impossible to walk back on that now. So, the search for circumventing that burden is one of the factors that has led to this scheme. A bad policy decision has a long-term downstream impact and this is a classic case of that playing out. Even if the Agnipath scheme is implemented as it stands today, the easing up of the pension burden will take decades to play out. The need for modernisation of the armed forces is as of yesterday. But the government is hoping through a combination of a 10-15 per cent reduction in the strength of the military and a long-term solution to control the burgeoning pension bill would have given it some room to ramp up on modernisation without increasing defence outlay. There are various estimates of the net present value of the expenditure on a single soldier who joins the armed forces today. At fairly conservative estimates of discount rates, wages and future pension benefits, Pranay estimates this to be about INR 1 crore. In my view, that is the absolute floor for that value and it might be around INR 2 crores if one were to take a bit more realistic assumptions. So, a 1.5 - 2 Lac workforce reduction could mean a significant availability of funds to modernise the defence platforms over time.  Growth, Growth, GrowthThat’s likely the thinking that’s gone behind the scheme. Everything else including the messaging on josh and jazba or having retired Agniveers in every village is to make it palatable to the public. It is difficult to acknowledge openly to people that the economy cannot support the defence requirements of India when you have made nationalism and nation-first important planks of your political strategy. This communication plan could have worked except it had to contend with the other real problem of the Indian economy at the moment. Lack of jobs. For reasons that could take up another post, the Indian economy isn’t generating enough jobs for its large youthful population. Roughly, India needs to create between 15-20 million non-farm jobs every year to keep pace with those entering the labour force. The labour participation rate has remained in the 40-45 per cent range for a long time. New job creation data can be contentious but it is difficult to argue that India is creating anything more than 3-4 million jobs every year. The quality of many of these new jobs isn’t great. The merry-go-round of employees switching jobs and getting big hikes in the IT/ITES sector shouldn’t blind us to the reality in the broader economy. There aren’t enough jobs. The two prerequisites for job creation, an 8-9 per cent GDP growth and skew towards sectors like construction, infrastructure or labour-intensive exports aren’t being met. The reason the job crisis hasn’t snowballed into a larger political and social issue is the immense faith in the PM among the youth. There’s a strong belief among them that India is on its way to becoming a superpower. The regular dose of nationalism and jingoism that’s amplified by the media helps continue this narrative. A related issue here that accounts for the violent protests is the lure of government jobs. The public sector jobs at the junior levels have become more remunerative than similar roles in the private sector in the last decade. As much as people love quoting the salaries of the CMDs of PSU Banks or the senior IAS officers and comparing them to the compensation of private-sector CEOs, the reality is that at mid to junior levels the government jobs are better paying. You can dig deeper into the wage bills of listed PSUs and compare them with their private counterparts for evidence. The other supposed benefits of a government job like job security, work-life balance and a possibility of rent-seeking (though low in defence jobs) make the package very attractive. This has meant a dramatic reversion in trend of people hankering for public sector jobs that had waned in the first couple of decades of liberalisation. So, a reduction in the number of such jobs or cutting down their benefits as the Agnipath scheme is likely to be isn't going to be accepted despite the great popularity of the PM and the ruling party among this segment. Their expectation, in contrast, is for the number of government jobs to go up.Considering the constraints, it is difficult to see what else the government could have done here. The need to reduce wage and pension costs to fund modernisation is real. And given the fiscally conservative instinct of this government, it won’t deficit fund the modernisation programme. As is its wont, it has chosen to put a bold announcement with emphasis on other benefits while trying to solve its key problems under cover. There’s this myth that a big bang approach to reform is the only model that works in India. That’s wrong. A lot of what has looked like big reforms in India have actually had a long runway that’s often invisible to people. A more comprehensive reading of the history of ‘91 reforms makes this clear. So, the usual template has been followed so far: minimal consultation, no plans to test it out at a smaller scale and instant big bang implementation. The results are unsurprising. I am guessing we will see a similar script play out for the next few months. There will be rollbacks (a few have been already announced), some concessions that will tinker around years of service or percentage releases, and a few sops thrown in, to temper the anger. If I were to give more credit than is due to this government’s planning chops, I might even say it possibly did this on purpose. Release a more extreme form of scheme, brace for impact and then roll back to the position that you always wanted in the first place. It is one way to game public opinion to your favoured outcome. Of course, a more impactful solution to this is to acknowledge the mistake that OROP is and shift the pension of defence forces onto a voluntary, defined contribution scheme like the NPS which has been implemented since 2004 for all new recruits joining government services, except defence. That is the only sustainable solution to this problem. But dispassionate policy making in defence sector in India is difficult. All kinds of emotions about izzat, vardi, naam and nishaan get mixed up. Nana Patekar gets in the way of clear-headed thinking.  * (with apologies and acknowledgement to Harivansh Rai ‘Bachchan’)Addendum— Pranay KotasthaneFor a researcher working on the public finance of defence, the Agnipath scheme is an important milestone. Over the long term, it has the potential to substantially reduce the pension burden. And as RSJ writes, the scheme will have no impact on the allocations for modernisation in the short term. Nevertheless, this scheme is important for the single reason that just as today’s deficits are tomorrow’s taxes, today’s reforms become tomorrow’s savings. Many commentators suggest that India’s defence expenditure problem can be solved merely by increasing defence expenditure to 3 per cent of GDP, from the current allocation of 2.04 per cent. That’s hardly the case. Projecting current growth rates of defence spending components over the next ten years suggests that even if the government were to agree to a 3 per cent spending, pension spending will grow rapidly enough to allow only an incremental increase in the fiscal space for capital outlay.Keeping the public finance angle aside, I took away two lessons in politics.One, the political narrative that can be used to sell a policy solution sometimes matters more than the solution itself.In an article for the Times of India in March, I listed four alternatives before the government to manage personnel costs. The three solutions that were dropped tried to address the pension problem directly. It wasn’t possible to project these solutions as achieving any other objective. In contrast, the solution that was picked up, i.e. Agnipath, was the only one that allowed the government to skirt the fiscal motivations for this reform. The government went in with this stated objective: “attracting young talent from the society who are more in tune with contemporary technological trends and plough back skilled, disciplined and motivated manpower into the society.”  No mention of the fiscal angle. At all.This strategy itself had mixed results in the early days. Politically, it allowed the government to make statements such as these: “We never see the Armed Forces through the perspectives of savings. Whatever we need to spend, the government is willing to spend. Our aim is to defend the country’s borders. Whatever needs to be spent, will be spent.” — Mr Rajnath Singh, Union Defence MinisterHowever, not acknowledging the real reason why these reforms were mooted, created an impression that the government has needlessly and suddenly foisted another disruptive scheme on unsuspecting masses.Two, the government failed to align cognitive maps of important stakeholders, yet again. Pension reforms are wicked problems everywhere in the world because there are strong endowment effects of a large, organised collective at play. Some of you might recall that a couple of years ago, nearly 800,000 French people protested and disrupted key services across the country in opposition to the proposed pension reform. That reform merely aimed to consolidate 42 different pension schemes, with variations in retirement age and benefits, into a universal points-based system. Even so, the government had an excellent, indigenous pension reform example at hand. As we’ve written many times before, the civil services pension reform of 2004 was a rare example of introducing a scheme to reduce the pension burden without protests. Despite this example, the government chose to opt for an Agnipath scheme that made some applicants suddenly ineligible for selection. The resulting protests and violence eventually made the government relax the age criteria this time. The government mandarins would surely have anticipated these consequences. To smoothen the transition, the government could’ve done regular recruitment along with the Agnipath recruitment this year. Over the subsequent three-four years, it could have increased the intake for the latter and tapered down the intake in the regular induction in a phase-wise manner. But it chose a sledgehammer instead of a scalpel. Global Policy Watch: Social Media’s Rule of Three Global policy issues relevant to India— Pranay KotasthaneSocial media continues to confound us all. By now, we all have read a number of hypotheses on how social media rewards “evil”. In the initial days, social media’s tendency to push us into echo chambers was oft-cited as the mechanism that made people more extreme in their views. Then came the view that the evil lay in the “likes”, “retweets”, and “share” features, which promoted an asymmetric virality. Thereafter came the notion that it was the economic models that were to blame. Advertisement-led services and Big Tech monopolies were the real problems, we were told. And over the last four years or so, it’s the algorithms and recommendation engines of social media companies that have been the target. Despite these arguments, we still don’t have a conclusive answer. Several studies have refuted many of the assertions made above. And so, let’s take a step back from specific social media apps, and instead ask: what are the meta-mechanisms that make all forms of social media a powerful instrument? I can think of three interrelated mechanisms. All three mechanisms are connected to sociological and cognitive behaviours in the Information Age.One, Social Media expands our Reference NetworksReference Networks is a term used by psychologists to mean “people whose beliefs and behaviour matter for our behaviour”. A really small part of our behaviour is independent of others’ actions and beliefs. Most of our behaviour is interdependent, i.e. it depends on what people in our reference network say or do. For most of human history, geographic proximity largely determined our reference network. For instance, our on-road driving behaviour is shaped by people who are around us and whom we consider ‘like us’. TV, radio, books, and newspapers have played a major role in creating new horizontal comradeship (or what Benedict Anderson called ‘imagined communities’), but these media did not supplant the importance of geographically proximate reference networks. Social media, by contrast, expands our reference networks like never before. People across the world can now influence our perceptions instantly and repeatedly. And by this reference network expansion, I do not imply the ‘echo chambers’ trope. Courtesy of social media, our reference network in fact now includes many more people who think unlike us. Sociologist Zeynep Tufecki explains this mechanism using a beautiful metaphor:“While algorithms will often feed people some of what they already want to hear, research shows that we probably encounter a wider variety of opinions online than we do offline, or than we did before the advent of digital tools.Rather, the problem is that when we encounter opposing views in the age and context of social media, it’s not like reading them in a newspaper while sitting alone. It’s like hearing them from the opposing team while sitting with our fellow fans in a football stadium. Online, we’re connected with our communities, and we seek approval from our like-minded peers. We bond with our team by yelling at the fans of the other one. In sociology terms, we strengthen our feeling of “in-group” belonging by increasing our distance from and tension with the “out-group”—us versus them. Our cognitive universe isn’t an echo chamber, but our social one is. This is why the various projects for fact-checking claims in the news, while valuable, don’t convince people. Belonging is stronger than facts.” [MIT Technology Review, August 2018]Expressed another way, every issue becomes global by default because our reference networks are also global. Two, Social Media expands the Overton WindowRepeating what I had written about this particular mechanism in edition #130. The Overton Window framework suggests that for any political issue, there's a range of socially acceptable positions that's narrower than the range of all possible positions. These socially acceptable ideas are seen as being inside the Overton Window — they are mainstream and uncontroversial. On the other hand, policy positions outside it are viewed as shocking, upsetting, and electorally harmful. The key insight of this framework is that, with social pressure, the Overton Window can shift over time; today's radicals may become tomorrow's moderates. In the Information Age, something even more striking has happened. The Overton Window on practically every issue has been stretched such that nearly all possible positions on an issue have become socially acceptable. With that happening, the older institutions, which earlier exuded authority, are shredding legitimacy with every decision they make.With the old gatekeepers no longer wielding the same power as earlier, the range of opinions on any issue can be extremely broad. And combined with the fact that each of those views attracts a new reference network, the Overton Window of social acceptability gets stretched.Three, Disproportional Rewards for Extreme ContentMany analysts say that this mechanism is a result of skewed algorithms and the incentives arising out of an advertisement-based model. While that’s partly true, there’s a deeper reason: information overload. Persuasion is a key power in the information age. Persuading someone requires attracting someone’s attention. And since attention is a scarce commodity in a crowded information environment, the only way to attract it is to come up with something surprising and shocking. Consider this analogous example. If I were to write “Lng Yrs g, W Md Tryst WTh Dstny”, you would immediately identify that I’m talking about Nehru’s iconic 1947 speech, despite me dropping all vowels. From an information theory perspective, vowels carry “less” information content because they occur more frequently. In contrast, consonants contain “more” information because the probability of their occurrence is low.In a similar manner, a news feed post which reads “There was a bomb blast in Kabul”, carries less information, because this has quite unfortunately become a regular occurrence over the last few years. In contrast, a shocking opinion or news like “Russian information ops influenced the 2016 election results” surprises us, and hence carries more information. Over time, not only does the Overton Window expand, it becomes broader at the two poles. My proposition is that many real-life events attributed to social media (positive or negative) can be explained by a combination of these three mechanisms. Consider the work done by an online group DRASTIC (Decentralized Radical Autonomous Search Team Investigating COVID-19) in mid-2021. Their work alone changed the conversation on the Wuhan lab origin theory (RSJ wrote about it here). In this case, the expanded reference network allowed a band of interested folks to build on each other’s work. The Overton Window expansion meant that the group could put forward an idea that seemed preposterous at that time. And a skew towards surprises meant that their idea didn’t just die away in a closed in-group, but instead sailed across the globe.HomeWorkReading and listening recommendations on public policy matters[Article] Janan Ganesh has a cracking column in FT, which discusses a favourite topic of ours: economic growth. Sample these lines from the column: “The looming recession will be painful. But it will also drive a certain kind of post-materialist humbug from polite discourse. Growth will be harder to dismiss as a bean counter’s tawdry obsession when there is so little of the stuff to go round.”[Article] Zeynep Tufekci’s analysis of “how social media took us from Tahrir Square to Donald Trump”.[Post] Gurwinder from The Prism has this terrific insight: ideologies are memetic superbugs. His words: “The most successful ideology in the West today, wokeism, has succeeded because it’s perfectly configured, not to establish social justice, but to establish more copies of itself. It’s a memetic superbug evolved for contagion rather than truth or compassion, and if contaminating others requires it to delude the senses, twist the truth, and darken the heart, then so be it.”[Tweet] The always-insightful Bryan Caplan’s take on intersecting echo chambers lights a bulb. He says: “If you want to combat error, critique your in-group. You speak their language and they trust you, so you might persuade someone. If you want to raise your status, critique your out-group. They won't listen, but your in-group will love it.” The latter tendency dominates the former by a big margin, I guess. This is a public episode.

While excellent newsletters on specific themes within public policy already exist, this thought letter is about frameworks, mental models, and key ideas that will hopefully help you think about any public policy problem in imaginative ways.Audio narration by Ad-Auris.  Global Policy Watch: Global Order - Where Will It Come From? Bringing an Indian perspective to burning global issues- RSJA couple of recent events made me wonder about the state of global affairs these days and an excuse to write about Hedley Bull and his famous book, The Anarchical Society – A Study of Order in World Politics (1977). Take the incredible story of Belarus forcing down a Ryanair flight while it was in its airspace to arrest Roman Protasevich, a dissident who runs a popular Telegram channel widely used to protest against the regime of the dictator Alexander Lukashenko. A MiG 29 fighter jet was used to force the flight carrying 170 passengers to make a u-turn and land at the Minsk airport. This was a state sponsored hijacking with overt support from President Putin of Russia. The EU condemned the incident and banned any carriers from flying over the Belarusian airspace. But barring strong press statements and warnings there wasn’t much teeth in the response from the West. Meanwhile, Russia and Belarus upped the ante. On Thursday, Russia refused to let planes land in Moscow that were planning to bypass Belarus. The EU plans to apply sanctions on Belarus who is a signatory to the 1944 Chicago convention that established common rules of aviation safety. But Belarus could hardly be bothered. It was their airspace, their perception of threat to their sovereignty and they are going to apply their laws. And they have Russia backing them. Who are you to ask questions? That’s their dare to the NATO and EU. The other story that broke in the middle of last week is of Whatsapp suing the government of India over the Information Technology (Guidelines for Intermediaries and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021 which came into effect in May 26. Now there are reasons why the Government wants to regulate social media platforms. We have often spoken about radically networked societies (RNS) here and how difficult it is for a hierarchical setup to counter the speed with which RNS mobilise themselves. This speed or the virality of the social media platform can pose real danger to society when used to spread rumours, hate speech and abusive content. So, regulations are welcome if they address this problem. There are two points of contention in the Intermediary rules though for Whatsaspp. The first is the demand for the traceability as written in Rule 4(2) of the guidelines. It requires a messaging platform to enable the identification of the first originator of information when demanded through a judicial order or an order passed by a competent authority as per IT Rules, 2009. This is a problem for Whatsapp (or any end-to-end encryption messaging service). They can only know the first originator if they start tagging each message with a unique identifier and create a metadata for tracking and marking every message on its platform. This is non-trivial technical problem to solve but more pertinently this will mean the ability of the platform to trace every message and know its details. This violation of privacy of every user of the platform to know the details of a select few doesn’t pass the test of proportionality. So, this should be unacceptable to any end-to-end encrypted messaging platform.The second issue here is the very broad nature of what can constitute grounds for seeking this information. Like most laws this involves messages that are specifically criminal in nature like child pornography, sexual abuse etc. But like the definition of free speech in the Indian Constitution, they also include subjective grounds like threatening sovereignty and security of India or creating law and order problems. These subjective interpretation could be abused to seek information about anyone. Any rule should be drafted with a view on how it could be used for wrong ends by anyone in the future. The current reassurance given in the law that there will be no requirement of disclosure of the message or the sender has no meaning when the demand for the originator is made based on the message itself. There are three arguments being made against Whatsapp on this case that merits discussion. One, Facebook (that owns Whatsapp) has built a business model by collating all kinds of data about its users (with or without consent). So, irony kills itself when Facebook claims to be a champion of privacy. This is true except for one important point. Facebook isn’t a state. It abuses data for its commercials gains. You can call it an exemplar of the surveillance economy. But a state having access to that kind of data is different. The state has the monopoly of violence over its subjects. No company has that. A surveillance state is a completely different ball game than a surveillance driven business model. Two, Whatsapp cannot wash its hands off any responsibility for the messages that flow through its platform. This is correct and Whatsapp should be asked to provide mechanisms through which messages that are flagged by its users, a judicial or a competent authority as abusive or illegal can be restricted from being passed along any further. This must be asked of all social media platforms. Asking for the originator of a message, however, opens up a Pandora’s box that directly impinges on individual liberty. Three, there’s an interesting argument made that Whatsapp cannot go against the law of the land. This is a bit troubling. Whatsapp has been in India for many years following the law of the land. It disagrees with a particular clause in a new set of rules and it is contesting that in the court of law. This is usual judicial procedure. This isn’t an MNC challenging the sovereignty of India as it is being made out. Those making these arguments either want to use the easiest crutch of nationalism to obfuscate the principle of privacy on which Whatsapp is making the argument or have their own vested interests in ‘digital nationalism’. In any case, there isn’t a final privacy law that has been debated and passed by the parliament. So, the point of challenging the law of the land on this topic is itself moot. Enforcing Global OrderThere is a broader point I want to discuss based on these incidents. Is there any legitimate global authority left that can enforce any kind of global order any more? Who will stand up for basic human rights like the freedom to dissent, to question the powerful or the right to privacy? Is there a need for a global policeman, a competent and empowered multilateral institution or a rules based order, that will question a nation-state about its actions? Or, will nations justify all their acts under the cover of sovereignty? We talk about international relations quite often here. Pranay uses Matsyanyaya (big fish eating small fish) as the principle that guides relations between nation-states. This is what’s termed as the realist view. Nations act in their self-interest and they form alliances or take positions that furthers it in the long term. A cynical view of this would be to think of nation-states in a Hobbesian ‘state of nature’. Of course, the reality isn’t exactly this. Nations help other nations, agree mutually on a common set of rules to guide their behaviour and set up multilateral organisations to follow a code of conduct in global affairs. Yet the realist will say these sound great on paper but cannot be enforced unless there is a real possibility of a more powerful nation or nations threatening real harm to another nation which isn’t toeing the line. Stripped of all niceties, multilateral organisations depend on a global power to maintain world order. It is matsyanyaya after all.After the fall of USSR, the overwhelming consensus was the liberal, democratic global order will have a long, uninterrupted reign. Nations will recognise this to be the ultimate political and social end and they will strive to be co-opted into this order. History, in that sense, had ended. But that was not to be. There were two reasons for that. One was philosophical: an ideology without a counter loses it raison d'etre. The nature of the political rests on the Schmittian ‘friend’ versus ‘enemy’ divide like we often say here. It will splinter from within over time and find its own enemies. That’s what happened eventually to the liberal, democratic hegemony as the extremes on both left and right pared it away. The second reason or a set of reasons was rooted in specific events and it was more substantive. The Iraq War based on fake reports of weapons of mass destruction possessed by the regime, the global financial crisis (GFC) and the policy response that led to delegitimisation of globalisation among the masses, and the spectacular rise of China that benefitted from global trade but didn’t turn into a liberal, democracy as was expected - all of these events fanned populist movements across democracies and turned them insular. The liberal democratic world order lost its bearings. It was the light that failed.So, here we are. Notwithstanding the recent moves of the Biden administration to undo the Trumpean ‘America First’ stand, it is evident the US remains reluctant to lead a world order to promote liberal democratic values in the way it did during the Cold War. Then we have Xi Jinping advocating a ‘community of common destiny’ that conveniently sidesteps any values that are inconvenient to China. And global MNCs and tech giants with user base larger than most countries aren’t interested in taking a stand on liberal internationalism. That has dissolved any hopes many had on globalisation countering great power rivalries, trumping rules of non-intervention in matters of sovereign states and promoting an order based on commercial interests. That old Friedman chestnut about no two nations that both had McDonald’s will ever fight a war against each other is well and truly buried. So, what kind of a world order should we hope for in a future?Bull And Neo-MedievalismStrangely, that’s what brings me to Hedley Bull’s The Anarchical Society. Bull accepts the idea of Matsyanyaaya but argues for an international society that’s built on anarchy with some kinds of overlapping natural checks and balances. Bull argued any kind of hegemonic world order like what the liberal democratic order aspired for post Cold War or the dreams of some kind of universal government are bound to end in disappointment. Instead, he suggested the society could move towards what he termed ‘neo-medievalism’, a system that would:“avoid the classic dangers of the system of sovereign states by a structure of overlapping structures and cross-cutting loyalties that hold all peoples together in a universal society while at the same time avoiding the concentration inherent in a world government" He used neo-medievalism from the order that was prevalent in western Christendom in the middle ages:“It is also conceivable that sovereign states might disappear and be replaced not by a world government but by a modern and secular equivalent of the kind of universal political organisation that existed in Western Christendom in the Middle Ages. In that system no ruler or state was sovereign in the sense of being supreme over a given territory and a given segment of the Christian population; each had to share authority with vassals beneath, and with the Pope and (in Germany and Italy) the Holy Roman Emperor above. The universal political order of Western Christendom represents an alternative to the system of states which does not yet embody universal government.” It appears to me we are in this kind of a nether space today. In the foreword to the 2012 edition of Bull’s book, Andrew Hurrell wrote perceptively about why Bull remains relevant in this age:“And yet, it remains plausible to argue that alternative global frameworks for order are either pluralistic and contested (for example transnational civil society) or efficient but highly unstable (as in case of markets and the global economy). Yes, the past 35 years have seen an intensification of economic and social globalisation , but the inequalities and discontent of globalisation have generated increased political strains both internationally and within many states, and have undermined the notion that globalisation will lead easily or unproblematically to shared values, resilient institutions, or to a meaningful global moral community. Yes, the density of the norms, rules and institutions of international society has increased tremendously, often pushing in liberal direction. And yet Bull’s scepticism may still be merited: whose solidarist or liberal order? What kind of liberal and liberalising order is it that seeks to promote democracy but ignores distributive justice and brushes aside calls for the democratisation of global decision making? How stable and how legitimate can a liberal order be when it depends so heavily on the hegemony of the single superpower whose history is so exceptionalist and whose attitude to international law and institutions has been so ambivalent? How will international society confront its current triple challenge - a power transition driven by rise of new emerging powers; a structural transition in the scope of cooperation as governments have to face a series of complex and often inter-connected global challenges; and a cultural transition as both state power and the dynamics of the global economy move beyond the West.” In a world still fighting a pandemic where the absence of global order was felt in our uncoordinated response and our inability still to inoculate the world together, Bull’s warning about premature celebration of global solidarity rings true. A reimagining of the world order is necessary. But no one knows where it will come from. PolicyWTF: Ek Machchar…This section looks at egregious public policies. Policies that make you go: WTF, Did that really happen?- RSJThere’s that old joke about Roger Federer (RF) and his Indian Fan (IF). IF: Do you know Indians buy the maximum number of tennis balls and racquets in the world?RF: Oh! Must mean a lot of Indian kids playing tennis then.IF: No. We play cricket with tennis balls.RF: Then what do you do with the racquets?IF: We use them to kill mosquitoes.The mosquito killing electronic racquets are ubiquitous in India. You will find them at homes, at shops and with anyone who works outdoors in the evenings (watchmen especially). There are reasons, of course. First, the excessive use of DDT and then liquid mosquito repellents have meant mosquitoes that have mutated to resist them. Two, liquid mosquito repellents are expensive with a refill costing Rs. 50-70 that are needed almost every two weeks. Three, liquid repellents need constant supply of electricity and are useless outdoors.I don’t want to go into the familiar lament of the state not being able to provide safe air and a mosquito-free environment to its citizens in 70 years. In fact, things have gotten worse. Almost no one who grew up in 70s-90s remembers dengue or chikungunya being the kind of epidemic they have turned out to be in the last two decades. The electronic mosquito-killing racquet was therefore a lovely little contraption. Priced between Rs 200-300, these could last a few months and once charged could be used for a few days uninterrupted. Importantly, they could be used outdoors which made it popular among those who worked outdoors in the evenings. Indian traders mostly imported these racquets (at likely import price below Rs 120) and incurred the import duties, costs of storing and distributing these racquets far and wide. Now read this. The Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) in a notification dated April 26 has prohibited the import of “mosquito killer racquet” (their words) if the C.I.F. (cost, insurance and freight) value is below Rs. 121 per racquet. Of course, the process that led to the threshold being precisely Rs. 121 is something I want to study when I grow up. Anyway, the general idea appears to be to become Aatmanirbhar in making these racquets and not allow cheap imports dumped in India.We have elaborated on the unintended consequences of such steps in umpteen editions. But we are never tired of repeating them. Here’s what will happen:Jugaad will set in quickly. Traders will ask importers to increase the prices of their racquets above Rs. 120 and overinvoice them. The same racquets will now cost more.Once this jugaad is noticed, we might prohibit any import. There will then be a short term shortage in supply of racquets as we won’t be able to up our domestic production capacity to meet demand. The price of racquets will go up.In the absence of imports, there won’t be an incentive for domestic manufacturers to compete with the best. This could lead to poor quality of racquets and a permanent higher prices for them in future. In any case, there is a price floor set now of Rs. 121. We have seen this film play out all through the 60s-80s across sectors.Unfortunately, the poor will suffer the most. The short term supply shortage will hurt and then the elevated prices will bite (apart from the mosquitoes whose karma is to bite)There’s a lot that ‘mosquito killer racquets’ and their import prohibition tells about our public policy over the past seven decades. But I will let Nana Patekar do the talking.India Policy Watch: The Wicked Problem of the Shrinking Women’s WorkforceInsights on burning policy issues in India— Pranay KotasthaneIndia’s continually declining female labour force participation rate from 30 per cent in 1990 to nearly 20 per cent in 2019 is a cause of much concern. Despite a rise in education levels and a drop in fertility rates, a greater proportion of women are unable to secure paid jobs. Thanks to a robust research community that has developed over the last decade or so, we know a lot more about this worrying trend. To crudely summarise their work, it seems that this wicked problem is not just a government failure but also an enduring social failure. Take the social failure. Ambedkar had written that the caste system is not merely a division of labour but an unnatural division of labourers into watertight compartments. This description partly applies to social norms regarding female employment as well. A false notion that women are better suited for domestic work — both household chores and child care — while men are suited only for outside work has created an unnatural division of workers. This is not merely a division of work as there is no evidence to show that men have an innate comparative advantage over women in doing outside work or that women have an edge over men in doing domestic work. Solutions for addressing this social problem by the government include familiar ideas such as reducing income tax for women, family leave policies and mandating childcare facilities at workplaces. But such solutions are likely to make no dents on female unemployment in an overwhelmingly informal economy. Instead, there is still one underrated measure where governments can help. By enabling economic growth. The last decade has been one of missed opportunities, regulations that make it difficult for companies to hire people, and falling economic pace. Consequently, the economy has not been able to absorb India’s growing working age cohort, both male and female. Unless the overall supply of non-agricultural jobs increases, the problem of falling women’s labour force participation cannot be addressed in any meaningful way. As far as the social failure is concerned, it requires solutions far beyond the government. In my view, the fantastic research and storytelling in this area is our best bet at creating what Cass Sunstein calls ‘norm entrepreneurs’. Social norms are more fragile than they are thought to be. Entrepreneurs who challenge existing norms can create fast-paced norm cascades. On that note, I want to plug a Puliyabaazi conversation with Mahima Vashisht, creator of the Womaning in India newsletter.

Hemalkasa is a touching biopic of humanitarian Dr Amte and his wife. Directed by Samruddhi Porey and starring Nana Patekar, the film was chosen for the closing night at the 2014 London Indian Film Festival.

Recently, the Mumbai police has submitted a B Summary report in the Tanushree Dutta sexual harassment case against Nana Pateker, citing lack of evidence as the reason for the closure of their inquiry. The report also stated that Tanushree’s complaint seemed “malicious and fake”, and could have been filed to seek revenge. In an interview to The Quint, Tanushree opens up on why she thinks the investigation in her case has been compromised and alleges that Nana Patekar earns “crores of rupees” through Naam Foundation, which is supposed to work for welfare of farmers, enough to squash any case against him.

The Evergreen Madhuri Dixit in a previous interview talks about her film Wajood where she is seen playing the role of a rich and ambitious journalist. In her interview, she talks about working with Nana Patekar and describes his role in the movie.

Hi! To explain myself, right of the bat, I wouldn’t say that I’m a man of many words, but of many voices! In essence, I am Harsh Joshi, and I can do wonders with my voice. They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and simply put, I’m an admirer of voices, their nuances, and characters that lies within. I take pride in myself for being a mimicry artist. I love to bring smiles to people’s faces by bringing a totally different person into the picture. Being a mimicry artist, I can bring in the voices of the celebs that you love. Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, Saif Ali Khan, Hrithik Roshan, you name it, I can do it! And the list doesn’t end there! In addition to the evergreen Bollywood heroes, I can mimic Sunny Deol, Nana Patekar, Sunil Shetty, Ajay Devgan, Abhay Deol, Irfan Khan, Ranbir Kapoor, Fardeen Khan, and Imran Khan. Cranking my skills up a notch, I can mimic the lovely voices of Sonu Nigam, Anu Malik, Himesh Reshammiya, Arijit Singh, Kumar Sanu, Kailash Kher, Hari Haran, Adnan Sami, Farhan Akhtar, Lucky Ali, A R Rehman, and Shaan. If you love to see your favorite politicians cracking up some jokes, you are in for a treat! My repertoire includes Narendra Modi, Arvind Kejriwal, Yogi Adityanath, Amit Shah, and L.K.Advani. As Indians, Cricket flows through our veins. My love for cricket and the admiration for the best, I taught myself to mimic the voices of Sachin Tendulkar, M.S.Dhoni, Shahid Afridi, Inzamam-ul-Haq, Shahid Afridi, and Imran Khan. I like to give a sense of character to the words I speak, and it has helped me a great deal in my voice over projects. The challenges are plenty for a voice-over artist and understanding them is the first step towards modeling yourself to fit in better with the trade. As a responsible voice-over artist, I take meticulous care to understand the context and overall feel of what the director wants from me. I am also aware of that fact that timing is critical for any voice over project, and I have trained myself to match my tempo with various movement speeds to get the perfect result. Voice modulation abilities always add a layer of realism to the voice that is being used on a video clip, and it always makes sure to get the work done well. It helps a great deal while recording for cartoons, movie trailers, radio commercials, telephone and video games. A positive approach is best for this business, that spawns over internet, documentaries, educational and audiobooks. The devil is in the details and knowing the right kind of modulation for the right type of application, makes the whole project a success. I am well versed in a variety of voice over services like commercials, E-Learning, Podcasts, Audio Books, Dubbing, Cartoons, Narrations, explainer Videos and the lot! As I mentioned before, I love to instill a sense of character to the work that I do. It was never a straight drive to perfection. I have made mistakes along the way, but I also took the time to learn from them. Personally, I believe having the quirks of being a mimicry artist has helped me a great in being an active voice-over artist. When I was first asked to take-up anchoring, it was a frightening moment. Being a mimicry artist, I never had a problem facing the crowd, but an anchor needs a specific set of skills, and quick wit is one of them. But once I was made a primary anchor, it was one of the most enjoyable experience I had on stage. I learned to embrace the spontaneity and the flexibility that comes with being an anchor. The most amazing part of being an anchor is undoubtedly the communication that I get with the audience. Humor always helps me to entice the audience, making them feel at ease and helping them have a good time!

Coming straight from the unreleased Film Feud archives, an episode that captures the early days of feuding when the passion to feud was at its highest (read: lots of cursing) and many-a-foreign-films were watched with glee. Should a film depicting decades of gang violence in a Brazilian favela also teach us where our food comes from? Vikram and Vidur explore this and other important topics on this week's feud as they argue over the show's first a highly lauded Brazilian film - City of God. Vikram's more passionate than he has ever been causing him to switch to his mother tongue in key moments. Vidur shares his unique strategy for rising to the top if he woke up in a favela tomorrow. One overuses the word genius and the other responds with blah. One thing they both agree on - Nana Patekar would have been a perfect addition to this movie. So who won?

Episode 14 of the Khandaan Podcast brings you 1996’s Khamoshi the Musical which stars Salman Khan, Manisha Koirala, Nana Patekar, Seema Biswas, and a very lovely Helen. However, [Asim](http://www.twitter.com/asimburney), [Sujoy](https://twitter.com/9e3k) and [Amrita](https://twitter.com/Amritaiq) begin the podcast with a raucous discussion of Salman’s latest blockbuster, (the widely and justifiably reviled) Race 3. A bro-laden movie so terrible, it drives Salman-lover Asim into enraged incoherence while Sujoy and Amrita try not to die laughing. Please excuse the f-bombs in this family-friendly podcast. Tired out from all the emotion, we examine Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s debut feature: a sensitive depiction of a tragedy-magnet family. Featuring several themes Bhansali would go on to explore with better budgets, Khamoshi nevertheless manages to retain some of its charm at this long distance of 24 years. The songs have withstood the test of time and the performances are better than any of us expected. Amrita, however, maintains her irrational dislike of Manisha. Subscribers are reminded that Khandaan is currently accepting nominations for our special run, which begins with our next episode, #15. Please send your suggestions for movies of the Khans that you feel we must watch to [upodcasting@gmail.com](upodcasting@gmail.com). Note: The Khandaan podcast is an interactive experience! Please click [here](https://www.opinionstage.com/polls/2509231) to vote for the next movie you think we should feature. For episode 15, we have Aamir Khan’s early era.
