Ladakh Delegation Gears Up for Crucial Talks with MoS Home in Delhi  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozFP30dn1-0 The Wire Jun 19, 2023
After a long-standing lull in communication, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) is poised to reengage with the Leh Apex Body (LAB) and the Kargil Democratic Alliance (KDA) in a bid to address the pressing concerns plaguing Ladakh. On June 19th, a six-member delegation, representing a diverse range of social, political, trade, student, and religious groups from Ladakh, will converge in Delhi to meet MoS Home, Nityanand Rai.

The upcoming meeting holds great significance, as it marks the resumption of a dialogue that had remained dormant for a staggering 21 months. The last official talks between the MHA and the representatives of LAB and KDA took place on August 29, 2021, in Leh, under the guidance of Union Minister of State for Home, Nityanand Rai.

The six-member delegation includes Thupstan Chhewang himself, two-time Lok Sabha member from Ladakh, along with Chering Dorjey and Nawang Rigzin Jora, former cabinet ministers in the erstwhile Jammu and Kashmir state, all representing LAB. The KDA will be represented by Qamar Ali Akhoon, former Cabinet Minister in the previous J&K Government, Haji Asgar Ali Karbalaie, a former MLA, and Sajjad Kargili, a prominent social-political activist from Kargil, as well as a representative from Anjuman Isna Asharia Kargil.


In the video Tikender Panwar, a former deputy mayor of Shima speaks with Sajjad Kargili, a member of the LAB. Kargili speaks about the collective determination to pursue their shared objectives. The four-point agenda that they intend to address during the talks includes advocating for full-fledged statehood for Ladakh, safeguarding constitutional rights under the Sixth Schedule of the Indian Constitution, expediting the recruitment process and establishing a Public Services Commission (PSC) for Ladakh, as well as securing separate Lok Sabha seats for Leh and Kargil districts.

Raghuram Rajan on why democracy is ‘biggest advantage’ for India’s economy  https://youtu.be/PUDaHgHC8ao?t=145    newslaundry

Jun 18, 2023 In a conversation with Newslaundry CEO Abhinandan Sekhri, former RBI governor #RaghuramRajan spoke about the role of artificial intelligence in economic development, competition in the news industry, and India’s response to environmental threats, among other issues.

In his keynote address at the Ideas for India Conference, organised by Bridge India in London last month, Rajan also examined India’s service sector and the significance of democracy for future economic growth.

“Our biggest advantage is our democracy. Would you trust 5G that is sold to you from an authoritarian country?” said the former RBI governor, reiterating the importance of decentralisation and investment in human capital development. “India has a reputation in services. Let’s build on it.”

  Counters the myth that  democracy hold back economic growth? Do we want to be the serfs of the production process or the Lords of the production process. ? Increasing percenage of production process is services, programming, high level skills nor low skill jobs like assemby.

The services bus which is the high value bus, requires open source intellectual properties. The services bus which is the high value bus, requires open source intellectual properties. we need democracy and non-surveilaance systems to drive this.. Need to focus on Human capital https://youtube.com/embed/PUDaHgHC8ao?start=1428&end=1754   Rather than spend huge amounts subsidizing assembly units, we need to focus on human capital..spend on schools, education, health etc.
