Mamata Banerjee of W. Bengal, parties in Tamilnadu and Uttar pradesh states, and the influence of regional political parties in India 2010-2014
05/03/2009
Mamata Banerjee won elections in W. Bengal, removing the Communist party from control in the state after 25 years. The ruling coaltiion government in India depended on her support in 2012. This also limited its flexibility because of Banerjee's opposition to opening up the retail sector to foreign investment. After the withdrawal of support of Banerjee's West Bengal party, and withdrawal of support from the DMK party in Tamilnadu over the Sri Lankan issue, the Congress party government in India depends on support from the Samajwadi party in Uttar Pradesh for its majority in parliament.

Chief Minister Jayalalitha in the State of Tamilnadu, India, and the conviction for corruption in 2014
09/27/2014
A Supreme Court ruling prevents a politician from serving in office if convicted on corruption charges even if it is appealed, and bars the person from public office for 10 years. The ruling was intended to prevent Indian politicians to use their office to delay consequences of corruption convictions seemingly forever. Jayalalitha in Tamilnadu state with the capital Madras (Chennai), is the first convicted chief minister where this ruling is applied. Corruption is endemic in public life in India, slowing the growth rate and reducing opportunities for business growth.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
