ऐसा कौन होगा जो अमेरिका जाने का सपना नहीं देखता होगा? गुजरात में भी ज्यादातर लोगों की चाह अमेरिका जाने की है. अहमदाबाद, गांधीनगर और मेहसाणा जिले के कई गांव ऐसे हैं, जहां आधे से ज्यादा लोग अमेरिका में रह रहे हैं. 

यहां के गांवों में घूमते हुए लोगों के अंदर अमेरिका जाने की बेचैनी का अंदाजा आसानी से लगाया जा सकता है. हमें अपनी पड़ताल के दौरान कुछ लोग तो ऐसे भी मिले हैं जो दर्जनों बार अमेरिका जाने की कोशिश कर चुके हैं. हालांकि, वे असफल रहे और अभी भी उनकी ये कोशिश जारी है. हमने पाया कि कैसे लोगों को देश से बाहर भेजने का एक पूरा तंत्र काम करता है. इस तंत्र में दलाल से लेकर एयरपोर्ट तक की भूमिका होती है.  

इसके अलावा, देश से बाहर पढ़ने जाने के लिए छात्र इंटरनेशनल इंग्लिश लैंग्वेज टेस्टिंग सिस्टम (आईईएलटीएस) का टेस्ट देते हैं. गुजरात के शहरों में जगह-जगह आपको आईईएलटीएस की तैयारी को लेकर होर्डिंग्स और दफ्तर नजर आ जाएंगे. आईईएलटीएस भी अवैध रूप से अमेरिका जाने का माध्यम बन गया है. यह सिलसिला कब शुरू हुआ? क्या वजह है कि लोग जान दांव पर लगाकर भी अमेरिका जाना चाहते हैं और कौन आदमी इसमें क्या भूमिका निभाता है? इसकी एक-एक कड़ी कैसे जुड़ती है यह जानने के लिए ग्राउंड से लौटे हमारे रिपोर्टर बंसत कुमार से डिस्कॉर्ड के जरिए जानिए.

In their 2022 book The Truth Pill, lawyer Prashant Reddy T and public health activist Dinesh S Thakur explored various aspects of modern pharmacology and pharmaceutical practices in India.

Now, in this conversation with Newslaundry’s Abhinandan Sekhri on February 9, they talked about the shortcomings of pharmaceutical regulations in India. Prashant quoted a former drug controller, who said, “If I had to apply American standards of quality to the Indian industry, I’ll have to shut down more than half the plants.”

This lack of regulatory accountability and non-compliance with scientific methodology can have serious consequences for consumers. Dinesh and Prashant explained other pressing concerns facing healthcare in India – rising drug failures, a surge in fixed-dose combinations, and the lack of regulatory structures for ayurvedic medicines.

The Bharatiya Janata Party has scripted a spectacular victory in Gujarat, improving even on its 2002 election performance under Narendra Modi, who has since gone on to be the prime minister. The Aam Aadmi Party has made big gains in terms of vote share, seemingly at the expense of the Congress, which has put up its worst performance ever. The grand old party, however, is posies to defeat the incumbent BJP in Himachal Pradesh.

Newslaundry editors Atul Chaurasia and Manisha Pande and reporters Ayush Tiwari, Basant Kumar and Shivnarayan Rajpurohit analyse the results.

As Gujarat votes in the second phase of the assembly election, the Newslaundry election team discusses whether the BJP is poised to return to power. They explore why voters want to put their faith back in a party that’s been in power in Gujarat for over 25 years, PM Modi’s connect with the state, and why price rise and inflation don’t affect his appeal to voters.

The team also discusses latest entrant AAP and its potential vote bank, how this is an election where the state will choose its main opposition party, and why the Congress’s campaign is so low-key.

On the #MorningShow, Atul and Manisha catch up with students of Gujarat University. Young people in their 20s have grown up seeing only one party in rule – the #BJP. How do they assess the party’s work? Do they yearn for a change? And what do they think of vikaas in Gujarat?

On law and order, students born in 2002 believe that they have seen a peaceful state compared to their parents’ experience, while others feel strict action is needed against illicit liquor and drug trade in the state. The quality of education and lack of adequate skilling at the postgraduate level remain a key concern. Students also say that it’s not enough for the governing party to tom-tom PM Modi’s face and there is a lack of a strong CM candidate in Gujarat.
