Best of BS Opinion: Correct timing, power, and the politics of precision
Imagine, you're playing badminton at dusk, the last game of the day. The air is thick with sweat and concentration. The rally has gone long, your legs ache, but your grip is tight on the racquet. And just then, the shuttle floats up just right. It's the moment. The crowd (or your cousin on the sidelines) holds its breath. You leap. All your power rushes to the wrist. But misjudge the timing by a split second, and it's not the shuttle you strike, it's your own shin. The point's gone, and so is your pride. That's the thing about power. It dazzles. But precision makes it count. Let's dive in. At the BRICS summit in Brazil, the bloc served up a lofty vision of multipolar global governance. But the timing was off. Xi Jinping didn't show up. Putin beamed in from behind a legal firewall. Their declaration, which was long, loud, and layered with good intentions, ended up masking deep divisions. As our first editorial notes, India now has to prepare for its turn as host in 2026, facing the tricky task of keeping this scattered smash from hitting the floor. Donald Trump, meanwhile, nailed his legislative smash, or so it seems. His $4.5 trillion 'Big Beautiful Bill' rewrites tax policy, but slashes healthcare and green subsidies. Markets flinch. The deficit balloons. Even Elon Musk protests. The power was there, and the Republicans lined up for the perfect assist. But, as our second editorial outlines, the follow-through may haunt not just America, but emerging markets bracing for aftershocks. R Jagannathan reflects on a different kind of swing: one between ideology and realism. Should Vodafone Idea be nationalised to avoid a telecom duopoly? Should the government stay the course on disinvestment? The problem isn't strength. It's a fuzzy vision and half-hearted execution. Like mid-air hesitation before a decisive smash, it only leads to stumbles. Vanita Kohli-Khandekar writes about India's film industry, where studios obsess over star power but overlook screen infrastructure. SVF's investment in West Bengal's single-screen revival shows that placing the shuttle right, again and again, can reignite the game. But if the industry keeps missing that window, it'll only keep bruising itself with underwhelming turnouts. Finally, Aditi Phadnis reviews Adivasi or Vanvasi: Tribal India and the Politics of Hindutva, a bold study of the RSS's tribal outreach. Here too, the Sangh's outreach brims with influence but carries inner contradictions. When ideology overtakes timing, you win applause, but miss the point. Stay tuned, and remember, sometimes, the strongest smash is the one you resist, until you're ready!

MyVoice: Views of our readers 8th July 2025
Good move by AP High Court The Andhra Pradesh High court issuing a circular mandating all judicial magistrates to follow the rule book while sending accused to remand, instead of doing it mechanically is quite praiseworthy. In view of the rising number of cases based on frivolous grounds, the judges should be cautious not to order remands in knee jerk fashion. Such a practice will take away rights of citizens in our system, where bail is the norm and jail the exception. The clear direction by the High court in this regard will go a long way in fostering effectiveness in the delivery of justice. Dr DVG Sankara Rao, Former MP, Vizianagaram-03 Justice Chandrachud needs a humane touch It touched me to hear that the former CJI D Y Chandrachud is finding it difficult to get a house with wide washroom doors and ramp facilities that are required for his two adopted wheelchair-bound daughters Priyanka (16) and Mahi (14), who are afflicted with Nemaline myopathy. Since his immediate successor Justice Khanna did not need the official accommodation and the incumbent CJI Justice Gavai will be in the post for a short period, the government need not be in hurry in asking Justice Chandrachud to vacate given the sorry plight of his daughters. He should be allowed to stay in the official house at least till he finds a suitable accommodation. Dr T Ramadas, Visakhapatnam Unwanted controversy over ex CJI's residence An unwanted controversy is in the news over the official residence of former Chief Justice of India (CJI) DY Chandrachud. To put it bluntly, asking him to vacate at this juncture for whatever official reasons is ill-timed given that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is on an overseas tour and is also attending the BRICS summit. This ex CJI issue vis-à-vis residence is bound to be highlighted by the foreign media, perhaps as much as they would Operation Sindoor. Although, as per the governing rules, he had to vacate the designated official residence of CJI, (a type VIII bungalow at Krishna Menon Marg) on April 30, he has been seeking extension, which, incidentally, lapsed on May 31. His argument was that renovation works in the house in Tughlak Road that has been allotted to him post-retirement remains incomplete. Justice Chandrachud has been seeking a further stay in the official CJI residence as his two adopted daughters with special needs are undergoing treatment at AIIMS. Keeping this emotional factor in mind, the case of the former CJI must be considered on humanitarian grounds. Yash Pal Ralhan, Jalandhar-144003 Kalam example stands out Never in the past have our judges been in the news for all the wrong reasons. But now, even former CJIs are making headlines. One of them delivered a key verdict favouring the ruling party and was rewarded with a Rajya Sabha berth. The Supreme Court administration has now asked the Centre to ask a retired CJI DY Chandrachud to vacate his official bungalow. In India, only politicians and top officials seem entitled to overstay in official residence. Contrast this with Dr. APJ Kalam, who packed his bags well before his term as the country's President ended. N Nagarajan, Hyderabad Stance on ONOE is bang on The lofty views expressed by three outstanding legal brains (all former CJIs) on ONOE is highly commendable. It is true that the one nation one election initiative could bring about few significant reforms like cost efficiency, and governance stability. However, implementing it without addressing constitutional, logistical, and federal concerns, could lead to several challenges. Therefore, the success of ONOE depends on a broad political consensus and careful planning to preserve India's democratic and federal ethos. P H Hema Sagar, Secunderabad-10

US to send ‘more weapons' to Ukraine, says Trump, days after ordering pause in deliveries
US president Donald Trump on Monday said that America will have to send more weapons to Ukraine to help the war-torn country defend itself against Russian offensive, days after ordering a pause in the critical delivery of weapons to Kyiv. Speaking to reporters at the White House, Trump said that Ukraine was getting hit by Russia very hard and it needs to defend itself. The US president detailed that America would be sending primarily defensive weapons. Earlier on Friday, Trump had said that Ukraine would need Patriot missiles to be able to defend itself but the US leader skipped mentioning it on Monday. 'We're going to send some more weapons. We have to. They have to be able to defend themselves. They're getting hit very hard, now. They're getting hit very hard. We're going to have to send more weapons, defensive weapons, primarily,' Trump said at the White House ahead of the start of 'private dinner' with Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The comments by Trump appeared to be a complete change in stance after the Pentagon last week announced to pause the delivery of some air defense missiles, precision-guided artillery and other weapons to Ukraine amid the concerns that its own stockpiles have depleted too much. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, after a call with President Trump on Friday, had said that the US leader had agreed to work on increasing Kyiv's capability to 'defend the sky' as Russian attacks escalated. Zelenskyy discussed joint defense production, purchases and investments with Trump. Meanwhile, Moscow escalated its offensive against Kyiv and the latest Russian attacks on Ukraine killed at least 11 civilians and injured more than 80 others, including seven children, officials said on Monday. Ukraine has been asking the US to sell more of its Patriot missiles and other systems in order to defend its cities from intensifying Russian attacks. 'I'm not happy with President Putin at all,' Trump said.
