Constitution (130th Amendment) Bill, 2025

Context: India's political and administrative systems occasionally require constitutional amendments to strengthen governance and accountability. On 20 August 2025, Union Home Minister Amit Shah introduced the Constitution (130th Amendment) Bill in the Lok Sabha. This bill provides clarity and legal backing in cases where the Prime Minister, Chief Ministers, or other ministers are arrested for serious criminal offenses.

Issue: Prior to this amendment, ambiguity existed regarding the tenure of ministers detained or imprisoned on criminal charges, causing administrative confusion and political instability.

Analysis: Ministers arrested for serious crimes beyond 30 days will automatically be removed from office, ensuring political accountability.

  • Automatic removal of ministers arrested for serious crimes beyond 30 days.
  • Clarification on political office tenure during judicial proceedings.
  • Strengthening public confidence in governance.

Impact: Enhances political stability, deters misuse of power, and reinforces credibility of democratic institutions.

Way Forward: Ensure smooth implementation with public awareness and state alignment.

National Sports Governance Act, 2025

Context: India has witnessed issues in sports administration like corruption and lack of transparency. The act ensures accountability, transparency, and protection of athletes’ rights.

Issue: Sports organizations previously faced manipulated elections, lack of conduct codes, inadequate safety for female athletes, and limited grievance mechanisms.

Analysis: The act introduces:

  • Transparent Election Process
  • Code of Conduct for ethical behavior
  • Athlete Welfare, including female safety
  • Dispute Resolution Mechanisms

Impact: Promotes transparency, safety, and ethical governance.

Way Forward: Diligent implementation with audits and awareness campaigns.

EAM S. Jaishankar's Russia Visit

Context: India-Russia relations span defense, energy, and strategic cooperation. On 21 August 2025, EAM Jaishankar visited Russia to strengthen bilateral ties amid global shifts.

Issue: India needed to reinforce defense, energy, and technology partnerships and discuss geopolitical concerns.

Analysis:

  • Deepen defense collaboration
  • Expand energy cooperation
  • Discuss global geopolitical challenges

Impact: Strengthened strategic partnership and energy security.

Way Forward: Continue strategic dialogues, implement agreements, and enhance research exchanges.

India-US Trade & Diplomatic Tensions

Context: In August 2025, the U.S. imposed tariffs up to 50% on Indian exports, citing trade imbalances and alleged unfair practices.

Issue: Tariffs disrupted trade and reflected differences over market access and IP rights.

Analysis:

  • Potential reduction in Indian exports
  • India protests via WTO channels
  • Prolonged disputes may affect geopolitical relations

Impact: Export challenges, diplomatic strain, and opportunities for market diversification.

Way Forward: Use WTO dispute mechanisms, negotiate adjustments, diversify exports, and strengthen domestic manufacturing.
