Recently, the US Congress has passed a unanimous bill to promote resolution of the Tibet-China dispute, with a two-fold aim to encourage China to communicate effectively with the Dalai Lama, and to counter the Communist Party's disinformation on Tibetan culture and history. In this episode of All Things Policy, Anushka Saxena and Amit Kumar discuss the 'Tibet angle' in contemporary geopolitics, focusing on the US bill, China's weaponisation of Tibetan names and resources in its own regional dealings, and the recent media frenzy in India surrounding the renaming of Tibetan geo-features.

Indian politics has re-entered the coalition era with the new government under PM Narendra Modi being sworn in last week. Given that coalition governments tend to witness greater political bargaining and deliberation, the fate of critical legislative reforms such as one nation one election (ONOE), delimitation of constituencies, women’s reservation in Parliament and assemblies, etc., hangs in the balance. 

In this episode, Saurabh Todi and Shrikrishna Upadhyaya reflect on the issue of legislative reforms and argue that this is the right juncture for micro-level legislative reforms such as setting up a parliamentary research service, mandatory examination of bills by standing committees, overhauling legislative councils (Vidhan Parishads), and compulsory division of votes.
