Incovidient Questions

ECovid-19 Lockdown: The Economy And The Virus

Life. It's life itself that is affected, profoundly so and almost at a genetic level. And that means at every other extended level of human experience.

Can a central law be a national law with so many states against it?

A septuagenarian, Captain Amarinder Singh helms one of the most stable Congress-led ­state ­governments today. Unlike other states where internecine power struggles perennially undermine or threaten ­incumbent chief ministers, Singh administers his state without much opposition. He has his share of detractors, but none have succeeded in ­measuring up to the CM who once served in the Sikh Regiment of the Indian Army. Having completed three years of his current term as CM, Singh is now firmly ­focused on the ­remaining two. He spoke to editor-in-chief Ruben Banerjee about the challenges that confront him and the Congress.

Curse Of The Corona

Disaster movies sometimes seem not so far-fetched after all. We have not been short of judgement day prophecies of various hues in recent times. But this can be the scariest morality tale of them all: a mystery virus threatening humankind. The reality is more banal in its causative chain, but fear of the unknown is very much its part --- and justly so. As the novel coronavirus explodes like clusterbombs across the plane — over 80 countries have been hit, with nearly one lakh infected -- where does India stand? It's a 'known unknown'. We only know that we do not know.

Over steaming hot coffee, he spoke to Editor-in-Chief Ruben Banerjee about his achievements, disappointments and all that he wishes to achieve in the remaining three years of his term.
