SC’s ‘landmark’ ruling on abortion law is in stark contrast to the US’ regressive stance on the issue. While this is a huge step forward for women's rights, is there more work to be done?

The India Story | SC’s landmark abortion ruling: a step in the right direction?

SC&rsquo;s &lsquo;landmark&rsquo; ruling on abortion law is in stark contrast to the US&rsquo; regressive stance on the issue. While this is a huge step forward for women's rights, is there more work to be done?

The Supreme Court has passed a judgement being hailed as "historic" and "a big step forward" for women's rights. The ruling says that all women, including those unmarried, have equal rights to abortion. While the verdict is a huge step towards securing the bodily autonomy of women in our country, it is also notable for recognising marital rape as a crime under the ambit of the MTP Act, perhaps a hint to the Court&rsquo;s eventual viewpoint on the issue when it is listed as a petition.
The progressive nature of this judgement stands in stark contrast to the regressive stance of the United States Supreme Court, which overturned the crucial Roe v. Wade judgement earlier this year, paving the way for many states to completely ban access to safe and legal abortions.

While the Supreme Court&rsquo;s judgement is a landmark in the fight for equality, is there still work to be done? What does this mean for women&rsquo;s rights in India, and will a change in laws lead to a change in societal attitudes? On this week&rsquo;s episode of The India Story, Vikram Chandra discusses with experts the significance of this ruling.

Processing time delays for student visas have left Canada-bound Indian students with few options. Having paid lakhs of rupees in fees, and unable to start classes, what can the ‘Covid cohort’ do? Vikram Chandra discusses with experts.

The India Story | Canada visa delays leave Indian students in the lurch

Processing time delays for student visas have left Canada-bound Indian students with few options. Having paid lakhs of rupees in fees, and unable to start classes, what can the &lsquo;Covid cohort&rsquo; do? Vikram Chandra discusses with experts.

August is an exciting month for new students, especially those who are going abroad. Universities normally start their terms in September, so students are moving to a new country and starting their new lives. But for Indian students looking to study in Canada, the excitement has been dampened by delays in their visas.
Thousands of students, who have enrolled in top Canadian universities, are unable to meet the start dates for their courses. Some of these students have already paid their course fees, around ₹40 - 50 lakh, and a few months of accommodation fees as well.
Universities have also not allowed these students to start online classes until their visas come in, something which they've allowed in 2021 and 2020. The only option now for students, it seems, is to defer admission, and lose out on a year.

The &lsquo;Quad&rsquo; nations - India, Australia, Japan &amp; the United States - met in Tokyo this week under the shadow of the Ukraine-Russia war, and China&rsquo;s growing influence in the Indo-Pacific region. The four nations committed to a series of investments for the Indo-Pacific region.

Amid soaring global prices, is there cause for optimism for the Indian economy? Vikram Chandra speaks to Soumya Kanti Ghosh, SBI Group Chief Economic Advisor, about how India can ensure long-term growth while weathering short-term challenges.

The Ukraine-Russia war, following the Covid-19 pandemic, has resulted in soaring global prices and caused fuel and food shortages. The resulting inflation has hit India hard. Retail inflation has surged to the highest point in 8 years, and both home loans and petrol have gotten more expensive.
However, this crisis also presents an opportunity for India to transform its economy, and change the balance of power in Asia.

The India Story | China’s Covid wave: How should India prepare?

China is seeing an unprecedented Covid wave, which has seen hospitals and morgues overwhelmed, and an alleged caseload of 1 million per day. How likely is India to be affected? And how should we prepare?

After China abruptly ended its &lsquo;zero Covid&rsquo; policies amid nationwide protests, the country has been caught unprepared. Although data coming from China remains unclear, reports indicate that the country is seeing around 1 million cases and 5,000 deaths per day. By March, it could see more than 4 million cases per day.
The BF.7 Omicron variant has been blamed for this sudden wave of cases. The variant has also led to case surges in countries like the UK, US, France, and Denmark. However, while India remains prepared and vigilant, experts say that there is no reason to panic.&nbsp;
