The Buck Stops Here

Come March 5, 11.86 lakh students across the country will be appearing for CBSE Class 12 board examinations. A day after the CBSE released the date sheet of the exams, there is consternation among many students, parents and teachers over the inconvenient scheduling of papers. They say reduced gaps in between papers will put far greater stress on students and the timetable makes little sense. The Central Board of Secondary Education says it's unrealistic to expect gaps between all 200 papers that are offered by the board. But students say they must have more revision time and the Board must consider revising its schedule. On The Buck Stops Here, we look at the concerns of the students

The Supreme Court today ordered 186 cases in the 1984 anti-Sikh riots be re-investigated by a new Special Investigation Team. Does the Supreme Court order rekindle hopes of justice for the 1984 Sikh massacre? 2,733 people lost their lives in Delhi alone in the 1984 riots, which followed the assassination of then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. There have already been at least 12 inquiry commissions and panels in the 34 years since the riots. Can a fresh investigation achieve anything after 34 long years? Or has politics suppressed justice? We debate on The Buck Stops Here.

In the run up to Assembly elections in Karnataka, a war of words has broken out between UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah. The theme is familiar, but the twist is new. Yogi Adityanath started by telling Mr Siddaramaiah - if you're a true Hindu, then why don't you ban cow slaughter in the state. Mr Siddaramaiah roared back - don't teach me Hindutva, true Hinduism means people can eat what they want. Meanwhile, across the border in BJP-ruled Goa, a very different story. Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar has just defended the legal beef trade in a state where beef is part of the diet of many. This comes even as problems are reported with the supply of beef from Karnataka to Goa, apparently because of vigilante groups. On the Buck Stops Here, we look at the strange dynamics of beef politics. Will it be a decisive factor in the Karnataka elections?
