Time for a new look, around the world

OUR READERS HAVE ALWAYS LOVED TSI'S THOUGHT LEADERSHIP POSITION

What a pleasure it is always to sit down to write the editorial of this creation of sheer passion Sunday Indian. As we begin a new journey with a whole new look to this magazine with a broader layout, better paper quality and totally changed masthead and design template, I must say that there is one thing that has not changed and that is the quality of journalism is magazine stood for not just truth but hard-hitting truth. It stood for not just reporting but incisive and intellectual analysis. In eect, it has actually hardly been a newsmagazine, it has actually been a news analysis tool. Our readers, that cut across students to teachers to politicians and even media leaders, have always loved the thought leadership position we took. Despite being philosophically to the le_ of the center, we took the lead in demolishing the myth of CPM’s bhadrolok image in Bengal, even at the cost of considerable vindictive targeting. And despite being le_ of center, we actually vehemently supported BJP in the last elections. Yet, we remain staunchly le_ of center, and as this magazine goes out for print, we remain glued to the American presidential race hoping that Bernie Sanders pulls o an upset victory. Yes. _e world indeed also seems to be poised for a new look indeed. In the US it’s Bernie Sanders – a self-confessed socialist – who is giving Hillary more than a run for her money… genuine money and pedigree indeed. Nationwide, the youth overwhelmingly back him. In fact, overall, on the trust factor, he beats Hillary by miles. In the UK, by a record margin another socialist Jeremy Corbyn became the Labour Party leader. And all this, despite the fact that in both the cases, the capitalist-owned media was totally against them. Will Sanders win? Probably not. Will Corbyn survive the media onslaught against him?? Probably not. At least as of now. But the wave is clear. _e world’s most accomplished democracies are _nally looking le_. In Latin America, the le_ is a well established choice by rotation quite like India’s Kerala… most of Europe has socialist philosophies of social security et al as the guiding light of politics; and now, it’s the turn of the pillars of imperialism, the US and the UK, to look le_. Sooner than later, we are bound to see a genuine socialist leader sitting at the helm in one of these countries. Of course, as an Indian, you would hardly get to read about this in Indian newspapers. _at’s why you need _e Sunday Indian. It’s the magazine that aims to even inuence the rightist BJP to turn left and set the so called Le_ in India right – by showing it where it has been going wrong. All in all, let me assure that a new look around the world is here and at TSI, we have evolved to a new look too, to keep up with the changing times!

  86% Indians fear losing their jobs due to the Pandemic as per a recent online survey. The fear has completely stopped economic activities and spending. We must remove the fear and start the economy. For that we need to guarantee everyone that jobs or no job, they will be economically secure through a minimum unemployment allowance (double of which should be the minimum wages). It requires a simple four step process: 1. Create an online database of job seekers based on their Adhaar Card number. 2. Make it totally illegal to employ anyone for any kind of job without registering his/her Aadhaar Card number. 3. The moment Adhaar Card number is fed in the list of employed, it gets automatically removed from the job seekers register and they stop getting unemployment allowance. 4. Everyone getting unemployment allowance will have to necessarily do 4 hours of social and community service as directed by the registry. Employers will also know who is seeking jobs where and their qualificat...
D ear Arvind Kejriwal, As my relatives, acquaintances and students die avoidable deaths; I am completely mad on the current regime at the centre. But for every death - in reality a MURDER - in Delhi, you have equal blood on your hands. You were sitting and spending 150cr advertising yourself just between Jan to March this year while the cases increased. You did nothing for the last one year when Delhi needed at least 20,000 extra ICU beds if not more. And each bed obviously means extra oxygen facility. You have no shame to say that PM CARES fund didn’t come. Didn’t you have calculations? You are from IIT. Didn’t you know that making a few oxygen plants cost nothing compared to your state budget and so called landmark health budget? And you are FOOLING EVEN TODAY by saying lies like tomorrow even if there are 30k cases per day Delhi is now going to be equipped. You are a congenital liar. In case your IIT brain can’t calculate properly, let me help you. For every reported case in Delhi, ...
No PM after being elected should ever again be allowed to abdicate his responsibilities and go missing during every crisis. To strengthen democracy in INDIA, the entire MEDIA should come together and demand a LAW which makes it mandatory forever for any PM of INDIA to interact with the media once every fortnight at least for 60 min, & take a minimum of 15 questions from different journalists - 5 each from leading print media, electronic media & online media - with top 20 media houses from each field getting minimum of one chance by rotation to ask questions every two months. This will permanently end the godi media fraud. We can never ever again let a leader of India be unanswerable to it’s people - who are represented by the media - or develop a cosy relationship with a few media houses and keep the people of the INDIA in dark.
