The Buck Stops Here
How Did Rs 11,300 Crore PNB Fraud Remain Undetected?
It's being called the biggest bank scam in India's history. More than Rs 11,000 crore was siphoned from one of India's biggest banks - Punjab National Bank - allegedly by one of India's richest men Nirav Modi and his family-run businesses. How, over a period of years, were firms associated with the diamond trader systematically given Letters of Undertaking without any permissions that enabled them to get foreign exchange from the branches of Indian banks abroad? Where was the system of checks and balances? How did this happen under the nose of the bank and that of the RBI? Who is responsible and just where and how is all this money going to come back into the system? On The Buck Stops Here, we ask how were Nirav Modi and his family members allowed to escape? Were they being protected and if so, by who?

On Valentine's Day, Pledge Your Heart: Why The Hesitation?
On Valentine's Day, pledge your heart. On this edition of The Buck Stops Here, we talk about organ donation. Five lakh people in India die every year because of the non-availability of organs. The rate of organ donation in India is just 0.5 donors per 10 lakh people as per 2013 data. Everyone can save up to seven lives by donating organs. At any given time, there are eight to 10 brain-dead potential donors in intensive care units of any major city. On the show, we look at how laws in the country have changed and how, with this, there is a real chance at change.

"RSS Can Prepare An Army In 3 Days": Row Over Mohan Bhagwat's Remark

Critics have asked if that means some sort of an extra-constitutional militia force? Where does that leave our army? And despite a clarification that has now come, are comments like this at all necessary?

Rafale Deal: 'Confidentiality' Means No Transparency?
Nearly three months after she said that price details of the purchase of 36 Rafale fighter aircraft from France will be shared with reporters, Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has now stated in Parliament that confidentiality clauses within the deal prevent the disclosure of these details - which means that there can never be full public scrutiny of the Rs 58,000 crore deal which the Congress says resulted in an insurmountable loss of taxpayers money. On The Buck Stops Here, we ask: does 'confidentiality' mean no transparency?

An Eye For An Eye On The Line Of Control: Where Is This Heading?
Four Indians soldiers died in Pakistani shelling on the Line of Control on Sunday. The Indian Army has said our action will speak for itself. But where will this end? The number of ceasefire violations that have taken place are colossal - 240 ceasefire violations in just one month and five days of this year. Where is this all headed? Are we headed for a war?

Team Indus Speaks Up: Why Did Indian Startup's Moon Mission Fail?
On The Buck Stops Here, meet the founder and chief technology officer of Team Indus. India's first space startup had aimed to put an Indian built rover on the surface of the moon in competing for the international Google Lunar XPrize. But in the end, the deadlines proved to be just too difficult and Team Indus had to tell Google Lunar XPrize that they wouldn't make the deadline. To many, this had a lot to do with raising funds. Was Team Indus just too ambitious? Realistically, could a startup hope to achieve so much?

Padmaavat Protesters Target Innocent Children: Is This Honour?
Protesting against the film Padmaavat, a mob today attacked a school bus in Gurgaon. Terrified children and teachers cowered and hid on the floor of the bus. Another bus just ahead of them was burnt down. Is this Rajput identity? Is this acceptable in our democracy? There was violence in many states, instances of arson, buses being burnt, highways being blocked. Is this our India?

Darwin's Theory: Should Minister's Views Be Dismissed?
Leading Indian scientists have got together to oppose the statement of junior education minister Satyapal Singh that Charles Darwin's theory of evolution did not have scientific basis. There is outrage among the scientific community at Mr Singh's statements. He had said, "Darwin's theory (of evolution) is scientifically wrong. It needs to change in school and college curriculum. Since the man is seen on Earth he has always been a man." Leading Indian scientists say that it is retrograde to remove the teaching of the theory of evolution. On The Buck Stops Here, we ask: is questioning Darwin's theory healthy or dangerous?

CCTVs In Delhi Classrooms, Parents Can Monitor: Student Safety Or Snooping?
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has decided to install close-circuit television (CCTV) cameras in all state government school classrooms, a move that has apparently been triggered by some recent incidents of violence against children in school premises in and around Delhi. Today, in Lucknow, the principal of a school was arrested after a class 1 student was attacked allegedly by a class 6 student. On The Buck Stops Here, we ask: how can we make our schools safer? Are CCTVs the answer? Does this measure ensure student safety or is it a gross violation of privacy?

No Last Page In New Passports, Some To Turn Orange: How Will It Impact You?
The government's decision to offer orange-coloured passports for economically weaker and less educated citizens has resulted in a lot of protests. There are also concerns on the decision to remove the last page of the passport. The last page contains proof of address, names of spouse, parents and other details. But it's the new orange-coloured passports that some say is blatantly unjustified and discriminatory. The government, though, feels the move was necessary to protect some of India's most vulnerable citizens when they travel abroad. On The Buck Stops Here, we debate: is the new orange-coloured passport discriminatory? Is this part of some sort of new apartheid as some political leaders have alleged?

Concern Over CBSE Class 12 Date Sheet: How Crucial Are Gaps Between Exams?
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

1984 Anti-Sikh Riots: Fresh Probe Panel, Fresh Hope For Justice?
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.

Beef Politics In Yogi Adityanath's Karnataka Menu?
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?
