"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..

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 Today, they often feel outdated, too harsh, or out of proportion to the actual offence.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..

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.

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..
