𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐃𝐈𝐒𝐂𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐒𝐄, a student-centric society, conducted an engaging, analytical, and participative Open Discussion Session on the topic: “𝐋𝐚𝐝𝐚𝐤𝐡 𝐚𝐭 𝐚 𝐂𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐫𝐨𝐚𝐝𝐬: 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐝, 𝐄𝐧𝐯𝐢𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 & 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐒𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐦 𝐖𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐜𝐡𝐮𝐤”

Here are the 𝐤𝐞𝐲 𝐡𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬 of the discussion:

1️⃣ 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐯𝐬. 𝐒𝐢𝐱𝐭𝐡 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐥𝐞 — 𝐖𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐡 𝐏𝐚𝐭𝐡 𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐬 𝐋𝐚𝐝𝐚𝐤𝐡’𝐬 𝐅𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞?

➢ The discussion began with Ladakh’s major demands — Full Statehood, a Public Service Commission (PSC), inclusion in the Sixth Schedule, and an elected legislature.

➢ Sixth Schedule ensures tribal and cultural protection through local self-governance.

➢ Statehood offers stronger representation and decision-making power.

➢ Ladakh’s strategic location and lithium resources make self-administration vital to prevent exploitation.

➢ Consensus: Empowering Ladakhis over their own identity and resources is key to real autonomy.

2️⃣ 𝐂𝐚𝐧 𝐋𝐚𝐝𝐚𝐤𝐡’𝐬 𝐅𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐥𝐞 𝐄𝐧𝐯𝐢𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐁𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐲?

➢ Glacier loss of nearly 20% signals a deepening climate crisis.

➢ Tourism boom (3+ lakh visitors annually) and rapid infrastructure expansion endanger the fragile ecosystem.

➢ Local governance was emphasized as crucial since communities know their land best.

➢ Environmental security and political autonomy were seen as inseparable for Ladakh’s survival.

3️⃣ 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐒𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐦 𝐖𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐜𝐡𝐮𝐤 — 𝐋𝐚𝐰 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐎𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐫 𝐒𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐟 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭?

➢ Detained under Section 107 CrPC during a peaceful protest for Ladakh’s rights.

➢ His movement emphasized ecological protection and tribal identity preservation.

➢ The act reflected the shrinking space for democratic expression in India.

➢ As noted, “In a democracy, dissent is not disorder — it’s dialogue,” resonating with the spirit of his protest.

4️⃣ 𝐒𝐞𝐞𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐏𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐋𝐚𝐝𝐚𝐤𝐡 — 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐃𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐜𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐑𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬

➢ Urged formal negotiations between the Centre, LAB, and KDA for inclusive decision-making.

➢ Stressed that dialogue, not control, builds lasting peace.

➢ Highlighted the role of youth and local institutions in restoring trust.

➢ Consensus: Peace and progress in Ladakh depend on dignity, representation, and autonomy.

Conclusion

Standing at a crucial crossroads, Ladakh’s real progress will begin only when its people are empowered to shape their own land, identity, and future.

The Discourse conducted a thought-provoking discussion on "Justice Delayed is Justice Denied: Ways to Reduce Backlog in Indian Courts." The session emphasized the judiciary's critical role in maintaining democracy and explored solutions to reduce delays.

Key Points Discussed

Reasons for Backlog

1. Shortage of Judges: Only 14–15 judges per million people in India, resulting in case pile-ups.

2. Outdated Laws: Colonial-era laws add unnecessary complexity.

3. Poor Infrastructure: Many courts lack the resources to handle cases efficiently.

4. Excessive Bureaucracy: Red tape and procedural delays hinder progress.

Impacts of Delayed Justice

1. Loss of Public Trust: Erosion of faith in the judiciary.

2. Social, Emotional, and Financial Strain: Victims suffer severe consequences.

3. Violation of Fundamental Rights: Delays undermine democratic principles.

Solutions Proposed

1. Increase Judicial Strength: Recruit more judges to reduce case backlogs.

2. Digitalization: Implement fully digital case management systems.

3. Set Time Limits: Enforce strict deadlines for case resolutions.

4. Simplify Laws: Revise outdated laws to reflect modern realities.

5. Improve Infrastructure: Invest in better court facilities and technology.

6. Accountability Measures: Ensure efficiency among judicial and investigative agencies.

The discussion concluded that addressing judicial inefficiencies is essential to uphold justice and democracy. Structural reforms, digitalization, and timely resolution mechanisms are the need of the hour.

Appreciation to all who enriched 𝕋𝕙𝕖 𝔻𝕚𝕤𝕔𝕠𝕦𝕣𝕤𝕖 session with their presence and perspectives! We eagerly await our next engaging exchange.

The Discourse is pleased to share the successful completion of the Open Discussion Session on a crucial topic of present time, "Censorship of Social Media, OTT Platforms, Podcasts etc: Threat to Freedom of Speech and Expression" held today i.e. 1 Mar, 2025. The discussion brought together enthusiasts across diverse academic backgrounds, adding new depths and perspectives.

∆ Key takeaways from each sub themes of the discussion :-

Ω Censorship vs Protection_

~ Perspective of censorship was analysed with the historical example of Vernacular Press Act, 1878 during colonial India, highlighting the State vs Citizens aspect. 

~ Contrast between Censorship and Regulation was elaborated, with emphasis on concern for _citizen wellbeing_ and safeguarding _State interest_.

~ Changes in morality with time was understood keeping side by side example of movies as mirror of society.

Ω Why Censorship?

~ The line between immoral and illegal, a recurrent phrase further, was drawn before proceeding into multiple facets of its needs, pros and cons.

~ Causes reflecting people's fears and skepticism against censorship were mainly misdirecting public attention to trivial matters to à, and _spread State propaganda_.

~ Trying to look at the bright side, the need to govern the newly evolving digital space for youth and children for _protection against vulgarity and violence_.

Ω Impact on Society and Democracy

~ Understanding the hopes and fears regarding censorship gave the frame for its positive and negative outcomes.

~ Govt propaganda and Capitalist manipulations will create lack of trust on institutions and agencies among people.

~ Unscrupulous supression of voice of the masses will spawn insurgencies and radical means to express dissent.

Ω Global Perspectives and Govt Policies

~ Comparative analysis of countries with State regulated media like China and N Korea was done.

~ Recent policy of Australia related to social media, and independent regulatory board of media in USA was discussed.

~ Copyright as censorship and its application was understood. 

CONCLUSION

This dynamic dialogue thoroughly increased our understanding of this multifaceted issue. Consensus was built around the idea of an independent regulatory body with a transparent and democratically agreed upon set of regulations on whose basis censorship shall be implemented.

We always look forward to you all joining us in our discussions and make it truly enriching.

𝕋𝕙𝕖 𝔻𝕚𝕤𝕔𝕠𝕦𝕣𝕤𝕖 concludes that extramarital affairs arise from

emotional disconnect, evolving social norms, and personal desires.

While monogamy is debated, trust and commitment remain central.

Open communication, counseling, and self-awareness can help

navigate modern relationships while balancing autonomy and commitment.

The Discourse Conducted a wonderful and highly participartive Open Discussion Session on the topic "Role of Propaganda in shaping public Diuscourse": Do smaller issues exaggerated to divert attention from larger, more critical problems? Organized on April 05, 2025 at VT lawn. We saw the participants not only from the main campus but also from the affiliated colleges including the VCW. The overall Discussion was eye opening and the participants shared their rational thought regarding the topic.

Here are the few take aways from the Discussion:-

✰Possible reasons and Historical evolution

behind propaganda.

✰ Reasons:-

➣Political Control:- In order to remain in power government uses propaganda.

➣Economic Interest:- Propaganda promoted mass consumption(eg. Commercial advertisement)

➣Social Cohesion: Propaganda can foster national identity and unity.

✰ Historical Evolution:-

➣Ancient Origin of propaganda

➣The Arthashastra written by Chanakya contains detailed discussions on propaganda techniques for warfare and political

control.

➣Roman leaders like Julius Caesar were exceptionally skilled at propaganda.

✰Medieval period

➣Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian was the first ruler to harness the printing press for propaganda, producing one-sided battle reports to shape public opinion.

✰In modern time

➣In World War II propaganda used by Nazi Germany's minister Joseph Goebbels, who implemented Hitler's theories about repeating messages emphatically.

➣In 2024 loksabha election, use of hate speech, Ram Mandir and appeasing the majoritarian were part of the propaganda.

✰The Role of media and technology:-

➣Media and Technology have been used extensively to spread propaganda.

➣Use of Social media like Twitter by Ellon Musk in recently American election.

➣In India's context main stream media have been given a nickname as godi media and is contributing a lot in spreading propaganda and fake news. India stand 159 out of 180 countries in World Press Freedom Index

2024.

➣Positive prospects of media could be seen in spreading covid campaign, political mobilisation and spreading awarness etc.

✰Impact on Public Discourse and Democratic processes:-

➣Polarisation of Ideologies.

➣Disrupts the social harmony.

➣Divert the people from real issues.

➣Decline of rational thinking and counter questioning among people.

➣Erode the trust of people from democratic institution.

✰Solutions related to protection against propaganda:-

➣Establishment of Fact check institution.

➣Proper education, spreading awarness and courage to question needs to be emphasized.

➣Regulating the digital platform and punishing those who spreads false information on social media and banning the media channels which spreads false news and propaganda.

➣Popularizing Scientific temparamant and rational thinking among people.

✰ Conclusion

𝕋𝕙𝕖 𝔻𝕚𝕤𝕔𝕠𝕦𝕣𝕤𝕖 concludes that propaganda is a negative term and it might have some positive impact for short period of time but in long run it is always devastating for the nation. So The Discourse urge people to empower themselves so that they don't become the victim of propaganda and should always stand strong for the betterment of the nation.

The Discourse curated an enlightening and thought-provoking discussion on “Environment vs. Development: Is Economic Growth more important than Ecological Loss?” on 12th April 2025. The session brought together a spectrum of thinkers converging on the pressing need to find the balance between growth and green. 

This discussion unfolded across four powerful themes - legal pillars, ecological trade-offs, public pulse, and sustainable solutions - challenging us to rethink our definitions of "progress".

Key takeaways from each of themes of the discussion :- 

✰ 𝐋𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐥 𝐅𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐬 & 𝐀𝐜𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲

The Discourse once again brought intellectual

curiosity to life through a compelling and sharp-witted discussion on “Trump, Tariffs & Trade:Economy and the Geopolitical Crisis” on 19th April 2025.

The session invited curious minds to decode a world tangled between economic nationalism and global cooperation. From the American dream of ‘Make America Great Again’ to the ongoing strategic chessboard of China, the conversation explored the ripple effects of tariffs on not just trade but global order.

Key takeaways from each of themes of the discussion :-

✰ The Economic Impact of Tariffs: Winners, Losers, and Global Supply Chains.

➣ Tariffs, more than 90 nations impacted, were introduced as a protectionist shield for local industries but often acted as an ego war rather than economic wisdom.

➣ Tariffs served as a revenue source for governments, but they forced global companies like Tesla to hike prices, making consumers the ultimate losers.

➣ U.S. policy led by Trump was aimed at reviving its manufacturing sector, pushing for job creation under the banner of national security and economic self-reliance.

✰ U.S-China Rivalry: Trade War as a Proxy for

Geopolitical Dominance.

➣ The trade war wasn't just about products , it was about power.

➣ The U.S. versus China clash marked a larger shift in global politics, with America demanding: "Be with us, or be against us."

➣ China's counter-strategy, including the ‘China+1 policy’ and Belt & Road Initiative, exposed the global economy to debt traps and strategic dependencies.

✰ The Role of Protectionism in Modern

Globalization.

➣ Countries like Bangladesh, South Korea, and India have used tariff barriers to shield local sectors.

➣ Protectionism isn't new , dating back to William McKinley in the U.S. but the post-1990s world (with LPG reforms) largely moved toward open trade, until recent shifts pulled it back.

➣ WTO’s fairness principle came under question as powerful economies, especially the U.S., seemed to manipulate global trade rules to suit their interests.

✰ India's Stand and Effective Solutions

➣ India must balance between strategic alliances and self-reliance through:

(1) Smart bilateral and multilateral negotiations.

(2) Leveraging ASEAN & African Union partnerships.

(3) SEZ (Special Economic Zones) and alternative trade routes.

➣ Focus on minimizing brain drain, encouraging innovation, and safeguarding sovereignty from becoming a pawn in superpower rivalries.

✰ Conclusion

While tariffs may offer short-term gains for some, they unsettle the global order. True economic strength comes not from walls of tax but from bridges of fair trade, self- reliance, and shared growth. As students, it’s our responsibility to see beyond the headlines and understand the real politics behind global commerce. When tariffs become weapons, the world pays the price. Let dialogue be the trade we never tax.

The Discourse Conducted a wonderful and highly participartive Open Discussion Session on the topic : "Terrorism and Tourism: Can Kashmir truly be a peaceful paradise" Organized on May 03, 2025 at VT lawn. We saw the participants were from Main Campus as well as the affiliated colleges. The overall Discussion was eye opening and the participants shared topic.

Some key points from the discussion session:-

✰ Causes of Terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir and its Impact on Tourism Economy

➣ The primary reason for Kashmir's Terrorism is Pakistan and its funding that causes went down of tourism in Kashmir.

➣ The two main reasons for terrorism i.e., internal as well as external.

➣ Internal reasons are the fear embedded inside the people of Kashmir and there economy is not that sustainable to contribute in that.

➣ External reasons are terror funding of Pakistan to distract Kasmiri youth and to play Kashmir card.

➣Religious polarisation tactics are used to ignite communal tensions.

✰ Security and Development: Can Kashmir achieve both

➣ Kashmir's development depends on its its tourism economy which needs security. To need security we need to have some tactics against Pakistan.

➣ India should jeopardize their economy and convince global community to target them specifically.

➣ By using narrative games we should target and label Pakistan as epicentre of Terrorism.

➣ We should normalize the situation by winning the heart of people as people are the heart of Kashmir.

➣ Devlopment is not done on the cost of geological instability, at larger level keys lies in being relient not using heavy army as short term solutions.

✰ Political Tensions and Diplomatic Fallout: India-Pak relationship

➣ Relations are distorting and we can make their situation even more worse.

➣ Diplomatic methods or the dialogues are the key to frame Pakistan globally.

➣ Revenge is the best serve cold so military exercise is the best form of diplomacy for now.

✰ India's and Global initiative on tackling Terrorism 

➣ Tourism can be a weapon against terrorism in Kashmir.

➣ Growth of human intelligence by improving education and strengthening the local government.

➣ We should hit the zeal of Pakistanis by rebusting our intel.

✰ Conclusion

The Discourse concludes that Terrorism causes various downfalls for tourism in Kashmir and it should be tackled by India through weakening Pakistan globally. So we urge from the people to stay united and stand with the government to take some powerful steps to target Pakistan.

The Discourse successfully conducted a highly insightful and interactive online open discussion session on the topic “Caste Census in India : A step towards Justice or a Political Play?” on June 23, 2025. The session saw active participation from the students of different faculties & colleges. Participants critically explored its rationale, political implications, implementation challenges, and impact on the social fabric.

Some key points from Discussion Session :-

✰ Rationale for Social Justice: Data for Empowerment and Equity

➣ It was emphasized that a caste census provides empirical data necessary for equitable policymaking, social justice, and fair resource allocation.

➣ The quote by B.R. Ambedkar was highlighted: “Political democracy cannot last unless there lies at its base social democracy.”

➣ Example of Bihar’s 2023 caste survey, where OBC and EBC formed 63% of the population while reservations remained at 27%, was discussed as a case of disproportionate policy

implementation.

➣ Many schemes and tribal plans are caste-based, yet lack accurate data for effective execution.

➣ The last caste census was conducted in 1931 — yet policy and reservation decisions are still based on it.

➣ Caste census is crucial to correct underrepresentation, especially as recommended by NITI Aayog and the Anthropological Survey of India for inclusion of 179 communities.

➣ Debunked myths like the belief that SC/ST/OBC categories no longer need support – data can reduce misinformation and ensure fair access.

✰ Political Motivation and Implications: Electoral Calculations and Identity Politics

➣ Discussions acknowledged that political motives are always involved in such data-gathering exercises.

➣ Vote bank politics was cited as a major reason parties support caste census, especially with accurate data aiding targeted campaigning.

➣ The timing of such announcements is often politically calculated.

➣ The slogan from Bihar's 2023 survey – “Jiski jitni sankhya bhaari, uski utni hissedari” – used for electoral gains.

➣ Concerns were raised that increasing caste-based campaigning could lead to power shifts and deepen divisions.

➣ It was argued that while caste data empowers, it can also be used to divide and rule.

✰ Methodological and Implementation Challenges: Feasibility, Accuracy, Privacy and Misuse

➣ The feasibility of counting thousands of castes and subcastes was discussed as a major hurdle.

➣ Inconsistencies were noted between states in caste classification, which can affect accuracy.

➣ Accuracy is key – wrong data may result in flawed policy.

➣ Strong concerns were raised about data privacy and digital misuse, such as caste-targeted hate campaigns or discrimination.

➣ Justice B.N. Srikrishna was quoted: “Data without protection is like giving a loaded gun without safety.”

➣ Fear of vote bank manipulation and increased social tensions if misused.

✰ Impact on Social Fabric: Unity versus Division, Recognition versus Entrenchment

➣ Opinions were divided – some felt caste census brings recognition, while others feared it might deepen caste consciousness.

➣ Example of Bihar caste survey was again cited – where underrepresented communities gained visibility.

➣ Participants agreed that recognition can empower, but if poorly handled, it can entrench divisions.

➣ Discussion explored how caste-based politics and rivalry could grow if caste becomes the sole political identity.

➣ However, if implemented with sensitivity, a caste census could foster harmony through inclusion and help bridge historic gaps.

✰ Conclusion 

The session concluded with the understanding that a caste census is both powerful and sensitive. It can enable India to design better policies, ensure social justice, and close the inequality gap — but only if conducted with transparency, accountability, and empathy. The Discourse encourages students and citizens to stay informed, involved, and critical of how such data is used in shaping the nation’s future.

What gets measured gets managed and what is invisible remains undervalued.

The Discourse successfully conducted a highly insightful and interactive online open discussion session on the topic “India's gendar gap ranking 131” on July 9, 2025. The session saw active participation from the students of different faculties & colleges. Participants

critically explored its rationale, political as well as economical implications, implementation challenges, and impact on the social fabric.

Key point- 

# Gendar index released by UNDP , in which the organisation measures a country in 4 criteria 

- economic participation 

- literary rate 

- health and survival 

- political empowerment 

In which india's score is 64.8 with the rank of 131 , i.e.less than global average (68)

*# Economic participation and the unseen workforce*

- Female are the Unpaid domestic force yet essential for the society 

- Most of the female are employed in informal sectors

- 40.7 % economic disparity b/w both genders

- economic participation is very less in comparison with the male 

- Wage cap is ~20% less than male - very less participation in labour force(according to I.L.O)

- Historical - Societal Causes of this gap - Occupational seggration 

    - Infrastructural problem 

    - harassment at workplace-

    - College Dropout

    - 77% SHG owned by females but don't get proper support and incentives 

   - most of them are involved in Underpaid jobs like Anganvadi 

    - severe health problem 

    - According to some reports, if India lowers down the gender gap , it will add 770 billion dollars in its GDP

*#From Parliament to Panchayat*

- Representation increases in lower level of government but do not actively perform in decision making 

- Participation of the female decreases from 14.7% to 13.8% in Parliament 

- Proxy Representation is the big issue 

- women reservation in the political party is the need of the hour

- only ⅙ of the total highcourt judges are female

- female participation is very low in parliament around 15% 

- need of real representation 

- Yet there are some significant developments done in the time period 

 - Women reservation bill 

 - beside there are so many issues but their matters start to come in public discourse ,due to the representation

*#cultural norm , patriarchy and gender roles*

- Honour culture 

- 5th worst country in women participation 

- Grooming of children is essential 

- patriarchy also a issue for males

- usually there is no financial independence of a house wife 

- very less recognition of their work

- negative impact of Media

- religious rituals also hinders the freedom

- at the societal level , it is our responsibility to make rational and progressive thinking, which foster the growth of our 50% of the population 

- The government is also doing a lot , to increase the status of the women 

- The constitution also talks about it 

- universal adult franchise is the prime example of it

*#From policies to progress*

--- Problems 

- lack of safe infrastructure 

- lack of sanitation and basic necessities 

- access to take and credit is very low 

- beside having policies for the upliftment of the female there is implementation gap 

- orthodox society is also a major issue 

- working women have to look after their home too

- sexual violence, marital rape, dowry female foeticide

----- the way forward 

It is the responsibility of the society as well as the government to work in the progress of the female they are the 50% of the population and we should have to work for their development

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐃𝐈𝐒𝐂𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐒𝐄 | 𝐎𝐩𝐞𝐧 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐮𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐒𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧

The Discourse, a student-centric society of Banaras Hindu University, conducted another proactive and rational Open Discussion Session on the topic: “𝐀𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐚’𝐬 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡 𝐓𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐬: 𝐃𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐭 𝐏𝐮𝐬𝐡 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐚 𝐓𝐨𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐬 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐫 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐚𝐥

𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐅𝐥𝐚𝐰𝐬?" The discussion saw diverse participation and critical insights on trade, diplomacy, reforms, and India’s future economic pathways. Below are the key highlights:

𝑹𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒐𝒏𝒔 𝒃𝒆𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒅 𝑼.𝑺. 𝒊𝒎𝒑𝒐𝒔𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒉𝒊𝒈𝒉 𝒕𝒂𝒓𝒊𝒇𝒇𝒔 𝒐𝒏 𝑰𝒏𝒅𝒊𝒂

➢ U.S. Trade Deficit: Tariffs are projected as a tool to reduce America’s widening deficit with India, despite ignoring structural issues within the U.S. economy.

➢ Promoting “Buy American”: A push for Americans to consume locally produced goods, though it reflects Trump’s inward-looking and ego- driven “America First” doctrine.

➢ Corn & Dairy Dispute: Tariffs are also being used as a penalty tactic, pressuring India to relax import rules on U.S. agricultural products.

➢ Geopolitical Leverage: India is being “punished” for continuing oil trade with Russia, while U.S. allies like Europe continue to buy Russian energy with fewer consequences—highlighting hypocrisy in global trade politics.

➢ Trump’s Egoistic Diplomacy: Participants noted how Trump’s personal ego often shapes policy. His unpredictable style, more about “deals” than principles, creates volatility in trade relations.

𝑫𝒐 𝒕𝒂𝒓𝒊𝒇𝒇𝒔 𝒔𝒑𝒆𝒆𝒅 𝒖𝒑 𝒓𝒆𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒎𝒔 𝒍𝒊𝒌𝒆 𝑮𝑺𝑻 2.0?

➢ No Direct Link: Tariffs do not automatically accelerate reforms like GST 2.0. Reforms are outcomes of domestic policy vision, not external shocks.

➢ Pressure on Industry: Rather than speeding reforms, tariffs primarily create stress on Indian exporters and MSMEs.

➢ Reform Push by Necessity: Some argued external pressures can act as catalysts—forcing governments to cut inefficiencies and streamline taxation—but this is neither guaranteed nor immediate.

➢ Trumpflation Effect: Rising tariffs may indirectly fuel inflation in India by making imports costlier, which in turn pressures fiscal reform discussions.

𝑻𝒂𝒓𝒊𝒇𝒇𝒔: 𝑫𝒊𝒑𝒍𝒐𝒎𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒄 𝒔𝒆𝒕𝒃𝒂𝒄𝒌 𝒐𝒓 𝒏𝒆𝒘 𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒅𝒆 𝒐𝒑𝒑𝒐𝒓𝒕𝒖𝒏𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒆𝒔?

➢ Strained Bilateral Relations: U.S.–India ties face fresh stress, with Washington granting Pakistan lower tariffs (19%) compared to India

(50%). This reflects transactional favoritism and a short-term Trump strategy.

➢ Pakistan Factor: Participants highlighted Trump’s unusual closeness with Pakistan’s Army Chief and his Nobel Prize desperation—accepting flattery and mediation claims in the May 2025 Pahalgam attack ceasefire. This raised suspicion about Trump’s personal ambitions influencing U.S. foreign policy.

➢ Crypto Diplomacy: Discussion also covered reports of Trump family’s cryptocurrency ventures being backed by Pakistan-linked deals. This mix of personal financial interest and foreign policy compromises U.S. credibility.

➢ New Avenues for India: Despite setbacks, opportunities emerge for India to strengthen trade with Africa, Europe, ASEAN, and even explore calibrated ties with China.

➢ Strategic Autonomy: Tariffs underline the need for India to reduce overdependence on U.S. markets and build resilience through multipolar economic engagement.

𝑯𝒐𝒘 𝒄𝒂𝒏 𝑰𝒏𝒅𝒊𝒂 𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒏 𝒕𝒂𝒓𝒊𝒇𝒇 𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒖𝒓𝒆 𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒐 𝒔𝒐𝒍𝒖𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔 & 𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒈𝒊𝒄 𝒑𝒂𝒕𝒉𝒘𝒂𝒚𝒔?

➢ Diversification of Trade: Strengthen economic ties with Africa, EU, and BRICS nations to reduce reliance on the U.S.

➢ Bilateral Diplomacy: Use dialogue channels to balance disputes, while not compromising core Indian interests.

➢ Strengthening Currency & Bonds: Make the Indian rupee more resilient and reconsider over-investment in U.S. government bonds.

➢ Technology & Innovation: Invest in AI, digital trade, and renewable sectors to counter external shocks.

➢ Promoting Atmanirbharta: Use tariff pressure as a push to make “Made in India” products more competitive globally.

➢ Strategic Patience: Avoid reactive policies; focus on long-term positioning in global trade by aligning with multipolar frameworks.

𝑪𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒄𝒂𝒍 𝑻𝒂𝒌𝒆𝒂𝒘𝒂𝒚𝒔

➢ Trump’s ego-driven approach creates uncertainty, where policies are guided by personal image and Nobel Prize ambitions rather than stability.

➢ His family’s crypto involvement with Pakistan adds an unusual layer of financial diplomacy, raising concerns about ethical governance in global trade.

➢ For India, this moment is both a challenge and an opportunity—to rise resilient, diversify its global footprint, and assert true economic

independence.

This Open Discussion Session highlighted that while America’s tariffs pose immediate hurdles, they also compel India to introspect and innovate. Turning “pressure into power” will depend on how India balances diplomacy, reform, and resilience.

𝒅𝒆𝒎𝒐𝒄𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒊𝒆𝒔?

➢ Gen Z has changed governments in Nepal and inspired similar movements in Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.

➢ They are liberal, well-informed, and technologically empowered.

➢ Their impatience can bring both revolution and disaster.

➢ “We are not loyal to govt, we are loyal to principles” became a key sentiment.

➢ Debates emerged around whether Gen Z needs centralized leadership or thrives leaderlessly.

➢ Historical parallels: JP Andolan (1975) in India, GST reforms, and youth protests globally.

➢ Gen Z emphasizes logical reasoning and ethics-based politics.

➢ They focus on solutions rather than only protests.

➢ Push for new political ethics rooted in accountability and transparency.

➢ Calls for tackling unemployment and curbing corruption.

➢ Youth-led logical counters like Operation Siddos highlighted rational activism.

➢ The uprising is seen as a step toward a youth-driven global political ethics movement. 

This session illuminated how Nepal’s Gen Z revolt is reshaping governance and inspiring youth movements across democracies.
