Senior journalist Smita Prakash analyses the political takeaways from Parliament's Monsoon Session, marked by repeated disruptions, low productivity and little substantive debate. She says the Opposition appears to have emerged stronger by achieving convergence on issues including student protests, examination-related concerns and the Chandachori case. Smita Prakash also argues that both the government and Opposition need to rethink their approach, warning that Indian politics is increasingly rewarding disruption over a functioning Parliament.

She discusses the political impact of the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, the Opposition's attacks on Home Minister Amit Shah and possible reforms to make Parliament more responsive.
