In this episode of All Things Policy, Carl Jaison speaks to Sudhanshu Kaushik, author of “The Future is Ours: The Political Promise of India’s Youth”. Sudhanshu is an international youth activist and the founder of Young India Foundation (YIF). With a focus on youth empowerment, the highlights of his work at YIF included initiatives registering over 2.5 million youth voters, lobbying with over 200 sitting MPs and five state governments to decrease the age to contest elections as an MP/MLA and building the Centre for Youth Policy.

With a focus on youth rights and representation, Sudhanshu’s book is at its very heart a passionate call to lower the age of candidacy from 25 to 21 — a campaign that covers all sides of the political spectrum and, if successful, will bring a huge number of India’s young directly into the democratic process.

The Supreme Court of India (SC) is entertaining a public interest litigation (PIL) asking for fixed rates for medical services in all hospitals in the country and has directed the Union Government to develop rates for each medical service. Otherwise, it proposed to fix rates charged under the Central Government Health Scheme as an interim measure.

In this episode, Anupam Manur and Shrikrishna Upadhyaya break down the implications of the Supreme Court’s order to impose price caps for hospital services. They argue that this is, both legally and economically, an unsound measure and the SC should refrain from intervening to impose price caps, despite its good intentions. Price caps will inevitably create distortionary effects, leading to poorer quality and a shortage of healthcare in the country.

As contemporary Indian foreign policy evolves to navigate an increasingly complex regional and global geopolitical environment, the China factor bears heavily upon some of its choices and priorities. In this episode of 'All Things Policy', Takshashila's Anushka Saxena seeks insights from Mr. Manoj Joshi (Distinguished Fellow at ORF Delhi) on military security perspectives in India’s foreign policy, especially vis-a-vis tensions along the LAC and India’s expanding partnership with the US.

The world's largest democracy is going to the polls this year. As much as a logistical challenge it will be given the sheer size, it will also be a test for the Indian media. Will the media be fair? Will it be able to remain neutral amidst the audio-visual assault? What about fake news and misinformation? What about ideological balance? All of these questions and more, in a discussion between  Sachin Kalbag and his guest Pradyuman Maheshwari.
