Sri Lanka's economy is in a free fall for a while now, it is hurtling fast towards bankruptcy. Its food inflation has soared to 57%, and the nation is left with no reserve to import essentials. This crisis is having a crippling effect on its apparel and famous tea industries also -- the mainstays of Sri Lanka's economy. Meanwhile, traders in India are looking to fill the void left by the South Asian neighbour. But some spillover of the Lanka crisis is hurting Indian businesses too, like the auto sector. Try to gauge the overall effect of the crisis on India. The trouble in Sri Lankan economy had started with the onset of pandemic. A large number of people who anticipated this crisis had started exploring options to stay afloat. Some even turned to cryptocurrency too, which is still unregulated in Sri Lanka. Meanwhile, India too is slowly but firmly moving ahead to regulate it. Recently it had announced to impose 1% TDS crypto assets. And on Wednesday, the government came out with a detailed clarification to address concerns raised by the industry. So as the TDS regime is slated to come into effect from July 1, will it be smooth sailing for domestic crypto exchanges and traders? Like the cryptocurrencies, the shares of housing finance companies have been falling for quite some time now. And most of them nosedived after the RBI hiked repo rate on May 4. While analysts believe that robust real estate demand may outweigh rate hike impact, there's a section of firms that may be vulnerable to interest rate hikes. After Dalal Street, let us now turn our focus to the President's Estate in Delhi. The race to Rashtrapati Bhavan has become interesting. NDA's presidential nominee Draupadi Murmu is facing opposition's Yashwant Sinha. She has an edge over Sinha due to the support of a majority in the electoral college. But how does India elect its President? This episode of the podcast shares more. Watch video

#ThePrintUninterruptedChina is trying to change the status quo along the Line of Actual Control with India, Yashwant Sinha, external affairs and finance minister in the Atal Bihari Vajpayee government tells ThePrint's national and strategic affairs editor Jyoti Malhotra. Sinha pointed out that Vajpayee was always on his guard while dealing with China, that the Galwan Valley in eastern Ladkah, the site of the current standoff between Indian and Chinese soldiers, has never been in dispute and that prime minister Narendra Modi, who has tried to become friendly with China, has not succeeded. He described Army chief M M Naravane's comments on Nepal as being "eminently avoidable," and said the Modi government's neighbourhood policy is in tatters. "You cannot be condescending with Nepal, no matter the temptation,"
From the blame-game style of politics in the '90s to the trend of right-wing heavy governance of today, Yashwant Sinha has seen it all.Having played an active role as a Parliamentarian and Cabinet Minister in two vastly different governments, Sinha is one of the few liberals that has closely monitored India through its most transformative stages.Speaking with Abhinandan Sekhri, about his autobiography Relentless, he declutters the news from the noise to highlight the audacious approach that the youth needs to adopt for its future.
* We are in the fifth phase of the elections now. 51 constituencies across 7 states went to polling on 6 May. Several political bigwigs like Mayawati, Jayant Sinha, Rajnath Singh and Yashwant Sinha came out to vote. * The seats to watch out for in this phase are the traditional strongholds of Congress, Rae Bareli and Amethi in Uttar Pradesh. Home Minister Rajnath Singh and Union Minister Smriti Irani are also in the fray. This is also the first election in Ladakh division following its split from the Kashmir division earlier this year. * Polling was held in 7 seats of West Bengal and yet again there are reported incidences of poll violence from this state. The BJP has asked for a repoll in Barrackpore constituency alleging violence by TMC workers on voters. Union minister Prakash Javadekar accused TMC “goons” of booth-capturing and not letting BJP voters cast their votes. * In another part of West Bengal, people of Sabar tribe have called for a boycott of the elections due to unavailability of electricity in their houses. * In Amethi where Smriti Irani is facing Rahul Gandhi for the second time there are some allegations of booth capturing. BJP minister Smriti Irani alleged booth capturing by Congress in the constituency and asked Election Commission to take note of the matter. * In another incidence of violence, a bomb went off in Jammu and Kashmir outside the polling booths. Militants threw a grenade at a polling station in Pulwama district where polling was underway for the Anantnag Lok Sabha constituency. No injuries or casualties have been reported so far. * And some good news for Maharashtra, the Election Commission allowed the relaxation of the model code of conduct to allow the state government to undertake drought relief measures.

NL Hafta has gone behind the paywall, but we love our listeners. So, here's a little sneak peek of the complete episode where Abhinandan Sekhri, Madhu Trehan, Raman Kirpal, Manisha Pande and Anand Vardhan come together to discuss Asaram’s conviction, Saroj Khan’s statement, Karnataka elections, formation of Bahujan Azad Party, Yashwant Sinha quitting BJP, and more.

In this NL Hafta, Abhinandan Sekhri, Madhu Trehan, Raman Kirpal, Manisha Pande and Anand Vardhan come together to discuss Asaram’s conviction, Saroj Khan’s statement, Karnataka elections, formation of Bahujan Azad Party, Yashwant Sinha quitting BJP, and more.On the apparent absence of violence after Asaram’s conviction, Madhu said: “I don’t think everything is peaceful. I read the judge had to go into hiring police. I read there’s been a reaction from the followers”. While opining on capital punishment, Madhu also recommended a piece written in Hindustan Times by Ishita Manek on why she doesn’t support the death penalty. Her own experience of being sexually exploited in her childhood made her believe that instead of seeking revenge, she wanted an atmosphere that can help children report the crime and the criminal. Giving his views on the verdict, Anand said, “I am not a supporter of capital punishment in any condition. So this is no exception. But there is a culture of knee-jerk political response to things and this is part of it. It may actually be counter to deterrence. If the punishment for raping and killing is the same, there is an incentive to kill. There is an element of seizing the narrative.”Moreover, Manisha pointed out that since almost 90 per cent of child molesters are people the victims know, the death penalty will naturally make families reluctant to report against the victims. For Raman, “If u really want to deter such offenders, you need to have fast-track courts where nobody will be able to tamper with the evidence.”In other words, as Anand put it, “The certainty of punishment is a better deterrent than the rigor of it.”Moving on to Saroj Khan’s statement on the casting couch in the film industry, Abhinandan and Manisha disagreed on the implications of it. While for Abhinandan, two separate sentences were being joined and misconstrued, Manisha found no justification for such a remark in any circumstance. Madhu added, “I don’t think she should have defended any industry. The action is wrong no matter what.”What was worse, as Manisha said, is that no Bollywood celebrity spoke against it.Further, on the strategic importance of the Karnataka Assembly elections, Anand said, “It would be important only if a spillover effect is factored in: will it set a narrative for the general elections?” For Raman, “The election here is relevant because Karnataka is the only state except Punjab where the Congress rules. It is also a major election in a run-up to 2019.”Abhinandan asks the panel to deliberate on whether the UP-based social media adviser from VHP who turned down the Ola cab because his driver was a Muslim, deserved coverage or not. Raman and Madhu feel such news shouldn’t be covered. She said: “I don't think it deserves coverage because it legitimises it. It’s about one loony person tweeting. There are enough aunties and uncles doing crazy things.” While Manisha thinks it should have been covered, “I would report it like a fun anchor story. I wouldn't block it completely.” Anand calls it a “drawing room communal joke getting its way into social media.”Moving on, the panel discusses the 50 IITians who left their jobs to form a party called Bahujan Azad Party, that aims to uplift the Dalits.In the case of the impeachment issue, Abhinandan feels it got balanced coverage. Abhinandan asks the panel to elaborate on the rationale behind Yashwant Sinha quitting the BJP. To which, Madhu answered: “This is no country for old people. In politics, one has to at some point face reality that if you have become irrelevant or people see you as irrelevant, you don't wait till you are dropped, humiliated and pushed out. You walk away with your head held high.”All this and more on this week’s podcast! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
