2018 will be a crucial year for the government. Prime Minister Modi’s strategy must take into account the complex electoral math that will confront him in April-May 2019 and at the same time focus on a strong economic and governance agenda in the final year of his tenure.

The Indian Administrative Service needs an urgent rejig. The key to speed and efficiency lies in putting an end to a generalist approach and going for a new service.

One of the great ironies of Indian secularism is that vocally secular governments see no contradiction in managing Hindu temples, and only Hindu temples

The BJP has set itself a target of 360 seats in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. Which is a two-thirds majority. Is that Mission Impossible?

Pakistan is imploding. The terrorists it bred to bleed India by a thousand cuts are bleeding Pakistan instead.

In order to live your dharma, you will need to be your dharma, in every decision, you will have to weigh the scales of justice, evaluate the moral impact on your department, company–and most of all, yourself.

Amish’s influence goes beyond his books, his books go beyond literature, his literature is steeped in philosophy, which is anchored in bhakti, which powers his love for India. 

Next month, Narendra Modi is going to be the first Indian Prime Minister to visit Israel. We present a special report on the Jewish state.

Swarajya Mag Magazine - October 2016

Independent India's first magazine that advocated less government and more freedom. We fought the license raj, the Emergency and more. Relaunched in 2014.

In 1956, journalist Khasa Subba Rau with the patronage of C Rajagoplachari “Rajaji”, India’s last Governor-General, freedom fighter and statesman hailed by Mahatma Gandhi as his “conscience keeper”, launched a weekly magazine called Swarajya.

Swarajya was intended to convey the founders’ quest to translate the joy of freedom not only from foreign rule, but full freedom as defined and promised by the preamble of our constitution.

Swarajya represented the first coherent intellectual response to Nehruvian socialism and the ever expanding Big State in newly independent India.
