“India-Japan Relations: Strategic Balance and Emerging Dimensions in the Indo-Pacific”

India and Japan today stand as two of Asia’s leading democracies and major global economies, bound together by shared values of peace, stability, and development. Their partnership has grown steadily over the past two decades—from being primarily economic and developmental to encompassing strategic, technological, and security dimensions. Japan has emerged as India’s largest development partner, while India provides Japan with a vast market, skilled workforce, and a reliable partner in shaping regional stability. Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Japan in August 2025 for the 15th Annual Summit came at a crucial juncture. The global order is in flux, marked by economic uncertainties, trade tensions, and rising security challenges in the Indo-Pacific. Against this backdrop, the visit was more than a routine diplomatic engagement. It signaled the deepening of a partnership that now spans infrastructure, digital technologies, clean energy, semiconductors, defence, and even outer space. At its core, the visit reinforced the idea that India and Japan are not just economic partners but also strategic allies with a shared vision for the future..

"Restrictions on Online Gaming: Challenges and Prospects of the Online Gaming Act"

The digital economy in India has grown rapidly over the last decade. Along with opportunities in e-commerce, fintech, and digital education, online gaming has become a major sector. This industry combines entertainment, technology, and entrepreneurship but also raises concerns related to addiction, fraud, and consumer protection. In this context, Parliament passed the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act, 2025 after a very short debate. The law is significant because it attempts to regulate the entire online gaming ecosystem while imposing a blanket ban on all online money-based games such as poker and rummy. The move has created strong debate around legality, constitutional powers, and individual liberty..

“Indian Tourism Scenario: A Confluence of Employment, Culture and Sustainability”

Tourism is among the most labour-intensive industries in the world. Unlike sectors that rely heavily on machines or automation, tourism generates livelihoods directly for people — across transport, hospitality, food services, handicrafts, wellness, and entertainment. Its reach is both deep and wide, from highly skilled professionals in urban centres to semi-skilled youth in rural communities. Currently, tourism contributes about 5% of India’s GDP, compared to the global average of around 10%. Countries like Spain and the UAE, where tourism makes up about 12% of GDP, highlight what is possible when the sector is treated as a national growth priority. For India, this gap represents not a weakness but a massive opportunity..

India’s Drug Regulatory Framework: Gaps, Reforms and Global Reputation

India is often called the “pharmacy of the world.” The country manufactures one in every five generic drugs consumed globally. From pharmacies in New York to hospitals in Lagos, medicines made in India are a common sight, particularly from pharmaceutical hubs in Gujarat, Maharashtra, and Telangana. This achievement is a point of national pride and has positioned India as a central player in global healthcare. Yet, beneath this success lies a growing set of challenges. A recent study by the Max Institute of Healthcare Management at the Indian School of Business highlights serious cracks in India’s pharmaceutical policy and regulatory framework. These weaknesses threaten not only domestic drug safety but also India’s international reputation as a trusted supplier..

Legal Modernisation in India: The Role of the Jan Vishwas 2.0 Bill in Reducing Over-Criminalisation

Over the years, India’s legal and regulatory system has gathered a large number of rules that go beyond what criminal law is really meant for. Many of these provisions were written decades ago, in a very different socio-economic setting. Today, they often feel outdated, too harsh, or out of proportion to the actual offence. The persistence of such laws has led to a situation where individuals and businesses can be subjected to imprisonment not for acts of grave social harm, but for routine or technical lapses such as errors in compliance, minor defaults, or procedural oversights. This “over-criminalisation” creates several problems. It makes the environment uncertain and risky for businesses, discourages entrepreneurship, and weakens trust in regulators. At the systemic level, it also burdens India’s already strained judiciary, where millions of criminal cases are pending, many of them involving minor offences that could be better resolved through corrective or financial penalties. In this context, the Government of India has embarked on a reform initiative to rationalize and modernise the legal framework. The Jan Vishwas Bills are at the heart of this change. The first Bill, passed in 2023, decriminalized 183 provisions across 42 central laws..

Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs) in India’s Water: An Emerging Public Health Challenge

Globalisation and industrialisation have reshaped modern economies by driving technological progress, increasing productivity, and fuelling consumer demand. A crucial part of this transformation has been the creation and use of synthetic chemicals across industries and everyday products. While these chemicals have undoubtedly brought convenience and economic growth, they have also left behind an unintended legacy — widespread contamination of the environment due to improper handling, careless disposal, and weak regulation..

India’s Vocational Training System: The Need for Employment-Oriented Reconstruction

India is home to the world’s largest young population. In the coming years, this workforce can play a decisive role in making India a global economic powerhouse. However, this is possible only if the youth are not just educated but also proficient in employment-oriented skills. Currently, India’s vocational education and training (VET) system faces serious challenges. Recently, on August 15, the Prime Minister, from the Red Fort, announced economic reforms aimed at boosting domestic consumption and investment.

National Space Law: India’s Scientific Progress and Strategic Imperative

India is going to celebrate its second National Space Day on August 23. The historic success of Chandrayaan–3 not only established India as a global space power but also added a new achievement to the collective repository of human knowledge. The upcoming Gaganyaan mission, Chandrayaan–4, and the proposed Bharat Antariksh Station are set to make this journey even more glorious. At the same time, the growing contribution of private companies is evidence that India is now moving beyond traditional space exploration toward commercial and strategic horizons. However, amid all these successes, an important question arises: India’s National Space Law. To provide sustainability and credibility to India’s progress in the global race for space exploration, innovation, and commercialization, the need for a strong legal framework has now become clearer than ever before..

Electoral transparency versus political skepticism: The SIR controversy and institutional independence

India is considered the largest democracy in the world, where every election is not only a platform for competition among political parties but also a testimony to the democratic faith of citizens. The foundation of this faith is the fairness and transparency of the electoral process. The electoral roll is the basis of this process, as it determines which citizen will exercise his democratic right. In this context, the Special Intensive Revision (SIR)—a special electoral roll revision drive—initiated by the Election Commission of India has become the centre of controversy. The Commission claims that this initiative is necessary to ensure fair and orderly conduct of all elections by 2026. However, many political parties and civil society organizations are considering it a means of interference and opaqueness. This controversy is not just about the technical process but also about the constitutional values of Indian democracy, institutional autonomy and the direction of electoral reforms..
