7 The Nipah test In 2018, the World Health Organisation listed Nipah as one of the 10 priority pathogens needing urgent research Because of its ability to trigger lethal outbreaks and the lack of drugs available against it. RNA (ribonucleic acid) virus: it can easily adapt to spread more efficiently among humans than it does now Kills up to 70% of those it infects

8 -

9 Thankfully, in most outbreaks in South Asia so far the virus has displayed a stuttering chain of transmission. Sicker the patients become, the more virus they secrete outbreak in Nadia, West Bengal: believed to have acquired the virus from palm liquor contaminated by bat droppings. Death of a nurse shows that health-care workers may not be taking adequate precautions when dealing with patients, by using masks and following a strict hand-wash regimen.

10 Keeping each other on edge Constitutional relations between the three organs of the state the executive, the judiciary and the legislature. A series of stormy issues between the executive, the powers that be and the judiciary has had the common man clutching his head in despair. Every developed constitutional democracy in the world has had its share of such showdowns. Tussles have only strengthened democracy and not weakened its structure

11 England 2003 Government announced the abolition of the office of the Lord Chancellor (who traditionally also headed the judiciary) Further declared that a Supreme Court of the United Kingdom was to be established without so much as consulting or informing the judiciary. This resulted in huge public outcry. The result was that Lord Woolf (then Lord Chief Justice) and Lord Falconer (then Lord Chancellor) started a series of discussions that involved the judiciary and the government about the key principles and principal arrangements that would govern the new establishment.

12 2004: consensus arrived The terms of this agreement were then collated in a statute by enactment of the Constitutional Reform Act, 2005, which managed in large measure to dissipate the tensions between the executive and judiciary. Lord Woolf: three organs of the state are like three chains that hold the structure of the state together. If one chain slackens, then another needs to take the strain. However, so long as there is no danger of the chain breaking, the fact that this happens is not a manifestation of weakness but strength.

13 John Peter Grant who was the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Bombay in A writ was issued, but the government of the day headed by John Malcom as Governor refused to obey it. Governor wrote to the judges to refrain from any conduct which would have, the effect of producing open collision between our authority and yours. Grant: responded to this by simply shutting down all the courts in Bombay

14 However, it serves to remind us that the judiciary versus executive conflict in this country has a long history and with the coming of the doctrine of separation of powers, tensions are inevitable. Constitutional principles such as the independence of the judiciary in a wellestablished system of democratic governance are tall towers built on the sure foundations of tried and tested principles. This should be treated as a wake-up call to the constitutional authorities concerned to get their act together and resolve issues amicably within the larger constitutional framework.

15 The fading appeal of soft power Central government frankly told the Supreme Court, we don t want India to become a refugee capital, India s stand vis-à-vis Rohingya refugees is an indication of how new India proposes to deal with humanitarian issues in its neighbourhood. There is a religious rationale for pushing back Muslim Rohingya, and an electoral calculation vis-à-vis the Northeast and West Bengal.

16 -

17 India s response to the Rohingya crisis, then, is in stark contrast to its long tradition of offering refuge to the region s homeless. Beijing began negotiations between Myanmar and Bangladesh. Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2016, which empowers the government to offer citizenship to migrants hailing from minority communities in the neighbourhood, except Muslims.

18 New Delhi doesn t any more pay heed to accusations of human rights violations against Tel Aviv, its blatant refusal to abide by various UN resolutions, or the manner in which it discards the political rights of the Palestinians. NAM stood for several important global movements: decolonisation, disarmament, correcting the inherent ills of the global economic order, etc. India-USA: Major Defence Partner, & Logistics Exchange Memorandum of Agreement

19 In 2014, the U.S. replaced Russia as India s largest defence supplier, and the Russians started negotiating arms sales with Pakistan that same year. SAARC and NAM, both India-centric institutions, have been sidelined by our own conscious efforts. Choosing to exclusively focus on hard power for foreign policy outcomes sidelines our rich soft power attributes. Confrontation seems to have displaced quiet diplomacy as our favoured tool for conflict resolution.

20 After re-election Venezuelan protesters failed last year to force President Nicolás Maduro to step down in the midst of an economic and humanitarian crisis. Potential challengers are either in detention or barred from the contest after they organised mass protests against his government, alleging brutal misrule and economic mismanagement. The Venezuelan health system has all but collapsed.

21 -

22 Inflation has hit 13,000%, and the economy is set to contract further. It is hard to believe that Venezuela, with the world s largest proven oil reserves, was considered Latin America s wealthiest country not so long ago. Further sanctions by the U.S. and possibly the European Union.
