India can only wait patiently and watch the situation in Afghanistan before initiating any action.

The inability and unwillingness of the new United States administration under Joe Biden to usher in a new deal-like transformative policies and correct course on foreign policy, is due to the persistent control of the big business that is endemic to the sociopolitical systems of the capitalist West.

US President Joseph R Biden’s newly set up commission to recommend reform of the United States Supreme Court has brought to the forefront the “political” role of constitutional courts. While the US Supreme Court inhabits a vastly different legal, constitutional and political sphere from its Indian counterpart, nonetheless there are interesting parallels given common shared values towards the independence of the judiciary and constitutional governance.
