You don’t need a university degree to understand kindness. This is what Africans need in governance.

@raghav_chadha Wondeful Act, but how many will agree- that’s a big question!

[Raghav Chadha @raghav_chadha]

If voters can HIRE a neta, they should be able to FIRE the neta too.

If Indian voters have the Right to Elect, they should have the ‘RIGHT TO RECALL’ too.

Right to Recall is a mechanism that empowers voters to de-elect an elected representative, before their term ends, if they fail to discharge their duties. If we can impeach the President, the Vice President and judges, and move a no confidence motion against an elected government mid term, then why should voters be forced to tolerate a non performing MP or MLA for five full years.

Five years is too long. There is no profession where you underperform for five years with zero consequences.

More than 24 democracies in the world such as the United States, Switzerland etc. provide arecall or voter initiated removal mechanisms in some form. If Indian voters have the right to elect, they should have the right to recall too.

However, there should be safeguards to prevent misuse:

Threshold - At least 35 to 40 percent voters should back a recall trigger through a verified petition before any recall vote is held
Cooling period - A minimum 18 month lock in after election so the representative has time to deliver and cannot be targeted immediately after winning
Clear grounds- Recall only for proven misconduct, fraud, corruption or serious neglect of duty, not everyday political disagreements
Final test- Recall succeeds only if more than 50 percent voters support removal in the recall vote

This is citizen empowerment. It will push parties to field performers, reduce corruption, and bring democracy back to accountability.

Voters have the right to vote someone into office and they should have the right to vote them out of office too.

I am struggling to wrap my head around this. How did a factory that poisoned 350,000 people in Italy and sent its executives to prison for 141 years get a second life in India?
This is the story of a “toxic hand-me-down" thats unfolding right now in Ratnagiri, Maharashtra.
In 2018, the Miteni plant in Italy was shut down. It had leaked "Forever Chemicals" (PFAS) into the groundwater for decades. The result? Kidney cancer, heart disease, and thousands of excess deaths. It was an environmental crime so bad that the Italian courts actually held the bosses accountable.
But instead of being scrapped, the plant was bought, dismantled, and shipped in containers to Mumbai.
By early 2025, it became fully operational in the Lote Parshuram industrial area.
Here’s why this is terrifying:
1. No Rules: India doesn't even have PFAS regulations yet. We are basically a "wild west" for chemicals that stay in your blood and soil forever.
2. Infrastructure Gaps: In rural Maharashtra, power cuts are frequent. When the power goes out, the treatment plants stop, and toxic waste gets dumped directly into the streams that feed the Vashishti and Jagbudi rivers.
3. The Western Ghats: We are doing this in the heart of one of the world's most sensitive ecosystems.
It feels like we’re being used as a dumping ground for a business model that was literally ruled a crime in Europe.

Why are we importing equipment that was deemed too poisonous for Italians? Who is looking out for the 25,000 workers and the families living in Ratnagiri?
We need to talk about this before "Forever Chemicals" become a forever problem for our children.

"The Aravalli range, which runs from Gujarat through Rajasthan and till Haryana, has long played a significant role in Indian geography and history.

The Modi Government has now nearly signed a death warrant for these hills, already denuded by illegal mining. It has declared that any hills in the range with an elevation of less than 100 metres are not subject to the strictures against mining. It is an open invitation for illegal miners and mafias to finish off 90% of the range which falls below the height limit set by the Government.

There is a deep-seated and continuing disregard for the environment in government policymaking."

Resilience is what enables people and nature to bounce back from crises: the forest that regrows after fire, the coral reef that resists bleaching, the harvest that survives drought, and the solidarity among countries.
