Grand TamashaUnderstanding the Delhi Education ExperimentOne of the most talked about policy experiments in India in recent memory is the reform of government schools in the city-state of the National Capital Territory of Delhi. Under the leadership of the Aam Aadmi Party, the Delhi government has implemented an innovative program to equip students with foundational literacy and numeracy. But while these reforms are much discussed, they have been surprisingly under-studied. A new book by the scholar Yamini Aiyar tries to remedy this gap.Yamini’s new book, Lessons in State Capacity from Delhi's Schools, draws on three years of ethnographic research where sh...2025-01-221h 04

The Foreign Affairs InterviewCan India Change Course?In June, Narendra Modi was sworn in for a third consecutive term as India’s prime minister.

But a recent election may indicate that voters are losing interest in this style of rule.

Anticipating the Unintended#117 A ResignationThis newsletter is really a public policy thought-letter. While excellent newsletters on specific themes within public policy already exist, this thought-letter is about frameworks, mental models, and key ideas that will hopefully help you think about any public policy problem in imaginative ways. It seeks to answer just one question: how do I think about a particular public policy problem/solution?PS: If you enjoy listening instead of reading, we have this edition available as an audio narration on all podcasting platforms courtesy the good folks at Ad-Auris.

Shadow Warrior by Rajeev SrinivasanEpisode 19: The tragic(?) defenestration of Pratap Bhanu MehtaDid Pratap Bhanu Mehta jump from Ashoka University? Or was he pushed? This seems to be the Hamlet-esque “to-be-or-not-to-be” question of the day in the Indian media. The simple answer is that it is very good if he was pushed. And it’s even better if he jumped.That of course needs an explanation. The push option is if the Government of India made an offer to the trustees of Ashoka that they couldn’t refuse: get rid of the fellow, or else! That, of course, would be Godfather-esque, and it would mark a welcome change from the pusi...2021-03-2216 min

Holberg Prize TalksThe Nils Klim Seminar 2018: “The Politics of Inclusion: Electoral Quotas in India”The 2018 Nils Klim Laureate Francesca R. Jensenius presents her research and discusses the use of electoral quotas in India with Pradeep Chhibber, Pratap Mehta and Anne Waldrop.
Electoral quotas have played an important role in Indian politics for the past century. Many groups have demanded and still demand quotas, often on the basis of arguments that quotas are needed to bring “their” perspectives into politics – that a guaranteed political presence will result in better representation of their group’s interests.
In the book Social Justice through Inclusion: The Consequences of Electoral Quotas in India (OUP 2017), Francesca R. Jensenius provided evidence of the l...2018-06-191h 58
The World UnpackedVaishnav, Kapur and Mehta on Rethinking Indian Public Insititutions18 million people are estimated to work for the Indian national government, and that number doesn’t include India’s regional and state governments.

Incarnations: India in 50 LivesVivekananda: Bring All TogetherSunil Khilnani explores the life and work of Swami Vivekananda, a social and religious reformer who became India’s first global guru, credited with introducing yoga to the west.
Vivekananda was a restless, baby-faced monk from Calcutta. And his image – arms defiantly folded, soft features hardened by a Napoleonic gaze – can be found all over that city today – on t-shirts, murals, posters and sculptures. It’s a ubiquity that is testament to both his contemporary influence – and to the way his essential message has been transformed.
In his lifetime, Vivekananda was a reformer who insisted that Hinduism’s moral force rested on its...2016-02-2414 min
