Ladakh face-off: Chinese are applying Doklam lesson to Galwan Valley, writes P Chidambaram

Ladakh face-off: Dragon invites elephant to dance, writes P Chidambaram
Despite Wuhan (2018) and Mahabalipuram (2019), Prime Minister Modi and President Xi do not share a warm personal relationship. Mr Xi is the only leader whom Mr Modi does not greet with an embrace.
Axe your current economic advisers, bring in new team: Chidambaram to PM Modi

Supreme Court must not flinch from its duty, not ever: P Chidambaram

Across the Aisle by P Chidambaram: Spend, borrow, monetize
The Modi government has one last chance. It must get off its horse named 'Ostrich' and Spend, Borrow and Monetize. Otherwise, the people will never forget or forgive the Modi government for setting India's economy back by at
Across the Aisle by P Chidambaram: The Rs 20-lakh-crore whodunit
Absent additional borrowing, there will be no fiscal stimulus to stimulate demand in the economy. The Rs 20 lakh crore will be another jumla. We will be self-reliant (Atma Nirbhar) in jumlas.

Across The Aisle: Govt’s steps to fight COVID19 are timid half measures, yet welcome
The Financial Action Plan (FAP) announced by the Finance Minister consisted of timid half-measures and was certainly not comprehensive.
OPINION | Fighting COVID-19 and beyond – by P Chidambaram
The government has been busy with video conferences; repatriating Indians from affected countries; and issuing advisories on hand washing, covering one’s nose and mouth, and wearing masks.

Coronavirus: No reason to panic at this stage but there is reason to worry, writes Chidambaram

Delhi violence: A calamity foretold, writes P Chidamabaram

Budget 2020: Hope for the best, prepare for the worst, says P Chidambaram
Budget 2020 India: It cannot define its relationship with the RBI and determine how the two can maintain financial stability, promote growth and contain inflation.
Jammu and Kashmir: More could have been done by the Court, says P Chidambaram
On August 5, 2019, Constitutional Order 272 was issued by the President stripping J&K of its special status and applying all the provisions of the Constitution of India to the proposed Union Territories.
