इस हफ़्ते युद्ध की खबरों और अटकलों के चलते सभी अपने अपने फ़ोन पे डूम-स्क्रॉलिंग में लगे हैं। कुछ काम, कुछ तबियत, और कुछ प्रवास के बीच, हमें पुलिया पर मिलने का मौका नहीं मिला। लेकिन पुलियाबाज़ी की ख़ास बात ये है कि अक्सर कुछ नई घटना घटती है और हमें कोई पुरानी पुलियाबाज़ी की याद दिला देती है। ऐसे ही कुछ युद्ध के शंखनाद के बीच शांति की गुहार लगाती हुई ये चर्चा हमें याद आ गयी। परमाणु शक्ति धारक देश जब युद्ध-युद्ध खेलना शुरू कर देते हैं तब उत्तेजना तो महसूस होती है, लेकिन यही समय होता है विवेक के इस्तेमाल का। इस एपिसोड का विषय यही है। एपिसोड रीप्ले है। चर्चा मार्च 2025 में हुई थी, पर आज और भी ज़्यादा प्रासंगिक हो चुकी है। तो चलिए सुनते है ये पुलियाबाज़ी इसी आशा के साथ की दुनिया एक बार फिर कुछ शांति और स्थिरता की और आगे बढे।We discuss:* Will the world move towards more nuclear weapons?* Can NPT remain effective in today’s world order?* Types of Nuclear Deterrence Strategies.

हालिया वैश्विक संकटों ने एक बार फिर से ये साबित कर दिया है कि तेल (Oil) का आज भी कोई विकल्प नहीं है। पश्चिम एशिया में युद्ध की आहट होते ही भारत में एलपीजी की किल्लत क्यों होने लगती है? आज की पुलियाबाज़ी में हम भारत के एनर्जी मिक्स की पड़ताल करेंगे, और चर्चा करेंगे कि भविष्य में अपनी ऊर्जा सुरक्षा बढ़ाने के लिए भारत और क्या कर सकता है।We discuss:* India’s Energy Mix* Why the push towards Natural Gas?* A Case for more Electrification* Shifting Transport from Oil to CNG* Supply-side Break-up* Why don’t we produce enough Crude Oil?* How to improve India’s Energy Security in the future* What is China doing for its energy needs?P.S:One correction: Pranay mentions the share of renewables in Energy Mix as 10-12%.

हमारी सरकारी स्कूलों में शिक्षा का हाल ये है की पाँचवी कक्षा में पढ़ रहे बच्चों में से केवल 34% बच्चे ही दूसरी कक्षा की किताब पढ़ पाते हैं। ऐसे में ये सवाल जायज़ है कि क्या हमारे स्कूल बच्चों को वास्तव में सीखा रहे हैं, या सिर्फ सिलेबस पूरा कर रहे हैं? आखिर हमारी सरकारी शिक्षा व्यवस्था इतनी चरमराई हुई क्यों है? आज की पुलियाबाज़ी में हम इस मुद्दे की तह तक जाएँगे यामिनी अय्यर के साथ।We discuss:* Why is education not an election issue* Shift in education policy focus over time* The education reforms in Delhi* Helping the kids who have been left behind in the class* Fixing our curriculum* Teacher accountability* Is our curriculum too ambitious?* Focus on foundational literacy* Government or Aided or Private?* Lessons for State Capacity* Supremacy of CircularsPlease note that Puliyabaazi is now available on Youtube with video.Related Links:Book | Lessons in State Capacity from Delhi’s Schools by Yamini Aiyarhttps://amzn.in/d/bifBLi4Related Episodes:भारत के विकास की चाबी। Accelerating India’s Development with Karthik Muralidharanसिर्फ राजनेताओं ने नहीं, भारतीय जनमानस ने हमारा संविधान पिरोया है। How Public Movements Shaped Indian Constitutionalism? ft.

26 नवम्बर 1949 को भारत ने अपना संविधान अपनाया था। इस अहम् घड़ी को याद करने और उस समय हो रहे बदलाव को समझने का ये अच्छा मौका है। इसमें आम धारणा ये है कि संविधान को कुछ गिने-चुने अभिजात वर्ग के लोगों ने बनाया और भारत की आम जनता पर थोप दिया। लेकिन इस धारणा में कितनी सच्चाई है?इतिहासकार रोहित डे और ऑर्नित शनी अपने शोध के आधार पर इस बात का खंडन करते हैं। अपनी किताब Assembling India’s Constitution में वो बताते हैं कि कैसे अलग अलग लोग संविधान बनाने की प्रक्रिया में जुड़ रहे थे और अपनी बात संविधान सभा तक पहुँचा रहे थे। जनमानस में उत्साह इतना था कि ड्राफ्ट संविधान उस समय की बेस्टसेलर किताब बन चुकी थी। तो आईये इस पुलियाबाज़ी पर सुनते हैं संविधान की अनकही दास्ताँ। ये एपिसोड खास इसलिए भी है क्योंकि ये हमारा पहला द्विभाषी एपिसोड है। सुनियेगा ज़रूर।We discuss:* Why do people think that India’s Constitution was an elitist project?* How were the lay people engaged in this process of constitution-making?* Princely states and their engagement with the Constituent Assembly* Popularity of Draft Constitution* Why were the princely states making their own constitutions?* What were the people demanding in their letters?* How were the legislative assemblies engaging with the Constituent Assembly?* The curious case of Manipur* Critique from Madras* The challenge with Delhi’s governance* Some noteworthy contributionsPlease note that Puliyabaazi is now available on Youtube with video.Related Links:Book | Assembling India’s Constitution: A New Democratic History by Rohit De and Ornit ShaniSubstack | India Policy Watch #3: Is the Indian Constitution Elitist?

भारत एक ऐसा देश है जहाँ हर थोड़ी दूर पर भाषा बदल जाती है, खाना बदल जाता है और पहनावा बदल जाता है। हम नक़्शे पर तो एक हैं, लेकिन क्या हम दिलों से भी एक हैं? आज हम बात करेंगे एक ऐसे सवाल की जो आज़ादी के वक़्त भी था और आज भी हमारे सामने खड़ा है: भारत का भावनात्मक एकीकरण कैसे हो?इस मुद्दे को पहली बार 1961 में गठित एक कमिटी ने समझने की कोशिश की थी और अपने संशोधन और सुझाव उन्होंने Report of the Committee on Emotional Integration में पेश किये थे। आज की पुलियाबाज़ी में इसी रिपोर्ट पर एक चर्चा।We discuss:* Committee on Emotional Integration* Unity is not Uniformity* Hindrance to Integrity* Education as an instrument for unity* Languages and scripts* Language hegemony* A note of dissentFact Check: 01:42 Churchill did not specifically predict a 15 year expiration date on India.

पिछले हफ़्ते हमने बात की थी कि कैसे टेक्नोलॉजी और इनोवेशन की बदौलत कुछ देश लंबे समय तक आर्थिक प्रगति कर पाये। लेकिन, आर्थिक विकास का होना हमेशा तय नहीं होता। २०वीं सदी की शुरुआत में अर्जेंटीना तेज़ी से बढ़ रहा था, लेकिन बाद में उसके विकास का चक्का अटक सा गया। तो आइये, आज की पुलियाबाज़ी में अर्जेंटीना के आर्थिक पतन से कुछ सबक सीखते हैं।We discuss:* Background on Argentina* Economic Growth in Argentina* Colonialism: Latin America vs North America* When Argentina was an Economic Powerhouse* When did Argentina’s slide begin?* Penetration of Democracy* Extractive vs Inclusive Institution* Balance between the State and SocietyPlease note that Puliyabaazi is now available on Youtube with video.Related Links:Book | Why Nations Fail?

Atal Bihari Vajpayee was a much loved and adored Prime Minister. As a politician who was also a poet and a great orator, he is often seen as a moderate or even liberal leader. But his legacy is more complicated than meets the eye. He often straddled uncomfortably between secular India and its sectarian polity. Today, Vajpayee’s biographer Abhishek Choudhary joins us on Puliyabaazi to discuss the many facets of his life and his politics.अटल बिहारी वाजपेयी एक लोकप्रिय राजनेता होने के साथ-साथ एक कवि और बेहतरीन वक्ता भी थे, और उन्हें अक्सर एक उदारवादी प्रधानमंत्री के रूप में देखा जाता है। लेकिन उनकी विरासत जितनी दिखती है, उससे कहीं ज़्यादा जटिल है। वे अक्सर धर्मनिरपेक्ष भारत और उसकी संकीर्ण राजनीति के बीच असहजता से जूझते रहे। आज, पुलियाबाज़ी में हमारे साथ जुड़ रहे हैं वाजपेयी के जीवनीकार अभिषेक चौधरी जिन्होंने उनके जीवन और उनकी राजनीति का बारीकी से अध्यन किया है। तो आइये, आप भी शामिल हो जाइये इस ज़बरदस्त चर्चा में।We discuss:* The Legacy of Vajpayee* Approach for the Biography* Researching for the book* The Confusing 80s* Evolution or Doublespeak?* Prime Ministership* Parallels between Vajpayee and Modi* Policies during Vajpayee years* Personal LifeAlso, please note that Puliyabaazi is now available on Youtube with video.Related Links:Book1: Vajpayee: The Ascent of the Hindu Right, 1924–1977Book2: Believer's Dilemma: Vajpayee and the Hindu Right's Path to Power, 1977–2018If you have enjoyed this podcast, please help is spread the word.

इस हफ़्ते पुलियाबाज़ी पर चर्चा राजद्रोह जैसे गंभीर विषय पर। राजद्रोह आखिर होता क्या है? अक्सर इस शब्द को लेकर हमारी समझ कुछ उलझी सी रहती है। एंटी-नेशनल शब्द को लेकर भी ऐसा ही हाल है। पर पोलिटिकल साइंस में इन शब्दों का एक विशिष्ट अर्थ होता है जिसे समझने से इस मुद्दे पर कुछ रोशनी डाली जा सकती है। तो आइये राजद्रोह बनाम अभिव्यक्ति की स्वतंत्रता की बहस के कुछ तार खोलते हैं आज की पुलियाबाज़ी में।We discuss:* Nation vs. State vs. Government* What is a Nation?* What is sedition?* What qualifies as sedition* Sedition laws in a new form* Do we have freedom of speech?Also, please note that Puliyabaazi is now available on Youtube with video.Read:Book | Missing In Action: Why You Should Care About Public Policy by Pranay Kotasthane and Raghu S.

नमस्ते, पुलियाबाज़ी में आज हम एक हटके विषय पर चर्चा करेंगे—युद्ध में हाथियों का प्रयोग। यह विषय हमें काफी इंटरेस्टिंग लगा, तो हमने सोचा कि क्यों न इस पर आदित्य रामनाथन से बात की जाए। आदित्य तक्षशिला इंस्टीटूशन के साथ एसोसिएट फैलो हैं और मिलिटरी हिस्ट्री में गहरी दिलचस्पी रखते हैं। इस पुलियाबाज़ी पर चर्चा इतिहास के उस दौर की जब भारत एक ‘आर्म्स एक्सपोर्टर’ हुआ करता था। भारत के हाथी और उनको काबू में करने वाले महावत दुनियाभर में मशहूर थे। समय के साथ टेक्नोलॉजी में आये बदलाव से युद्ध का रूप भी बदल गया। क्या इस बदलाव में भारत कहीं पीछे छूट गया? इतिहास से हम क्या सीख ले सकते हैं?अगर आपको हिस्ट्री और मिलिटरी हिस्ट्री में दिलचस्पी है, तो आपको यह पुलियाबाज़ी ज़रूर पसंद आएगी।We discuss:* Was India an arms exporter in the ancient world?* How were elephants used in a war?* Where did war elephants come from?* What do we know about elephants in ancient India?* Were elephants an obsolete platform?* Was there a political purpose of elephants* Defence against elephants* When were elephants phased out?* RecommendationsAlso, please note that Puliyabaazi is now available on Youtube with video.Read:Book | Elephants and Kings An Environmental History By Thomas R.

एक गणतंत्र में संविधान के ज़रिये सरकार की शक्ति पर रोक लगायी जाती है, पर भारत में हम देखते हैं कि अक्सर होता इससे ठीक उल्टा है। सरकार ही भारतीय नागरिकों पर इतनी रोक लगाती है कि पूछो ही मत। और हम नागरिकों को भी इसकी इतनी आदत पड़ चुकी है कि हम पूछते भी नहीं कि ये नियम हम पर क्यों लगाए जा रहे हैं। प्रणय ने तो बेकार नियमों के इस जाल को सरकार का चंगुल कहा है।खैर, अच्छी बात ये है कि अब सरकार ने भी इस चंगुल को पहचाना है और इसके लिए डिरेगुलेशन कमिशन की घोषणा भी हुई है, पर ये डिरेगुलेशन कैसा होना चाहिए? या प्रणय के शब्दों में कहे तो इस चंगुलतोड़ का क्या फ्रेमवर्क होना चाहिए? इसी पर होगी आज की चर्चा।We discuss:* Reducing Government Control* Why do we have so much regulation?* There are no limits on regulation* Govt should have to present a deregulation statement to the Legislative* Steering function should be separated from Rowing function* Open up service delivery to private players* Cost-benefit analysis before introducing new restrictions* Why do Indian firms remain small?* How to deregulate Firms?* How to deregulate our Cities?* Deregulating human capitalAlso, please note that Puliyabaazi is now available on Youtube with video.Read:Substack | India Policy Watch: A Deregulation Agenda by Pranay KotasthaneBook | Banishing Bureaucracy: The Five Strategies for Reinventing Government by David Osborne and Peter PlastrikRelated episodes:फैक्ट्री बनाने के दुखड़े। How Poor Building Standards Hurt Indian Firms ft.
