TN Ninan writes: "The strategy of 'national greatness with national champions' has limitations and is too Modi-dependent. Even if he is able to keep all the political and economic balls in the air, there is usually a time limit for most jugglers." buff.ly/3UH76fw

देश के विमर्श में अब मतदाता शब्द की जगह 'लाभार्थी' ने ले ली है. क्या यह बदलाव देश के नागरिकों के लिए ख़ुश होने की वजह है या उनके अधिकारों के लिए ख़तरा? पब्लिक पॉलिसी विशेषज्ञ @AiyarYamini से बात कर रहे हैं @ashubh thewirehindi.com/273563/how-doe…
Our democratic duty every morning these days is to awaken the conscience of our election commissioners. They are supposed to be the most powerful people at this moment. If they can censure KCR,what stops them from penalising the BJP for its violent anti Muslim campaign?@ECISVEEP

What's at stake this election? "Is our democracy robust enough to wrest the debate on inequality and redistribution from fear-mongering, bigotry and divisiveness"
Excellent essay by Anirvan Chowdhury. A must read for those interested in the dynamics that are shaping choices amongst women voters.

In exam for pharmacists in UP, 18 students write only Jai Shri Ram, get 50%. 2 professors later suspended. It is laughable, yes, but reveals the kind of idiocy & radicalisation that the BJP has engineered livemint.com/news/india/up-…
Ideas of India: 2024 Campaign ? @PalshikarSuhas highlights the differences b/w the Congress and BJP campaign - the two registers are speaking about two very different ideas of India, and the contrast has become sharper. theindiaforum.in/politics/campa…
On this week #GrandTamasha, @maitreesh joins me to talk about poverty and inequality trends in India. While we did not plan it this way, I suppose it's good timing given the raging debate about an inheritance tax: grand-tamasha.simplecast.com/episodes/the-g…

Yes, here @AiyarYamini connects the specifics of harassment of one instituion to a larger anti-intellectual approach of the regime. Authoritarianism dislikes independent thinking and distrusts debate. Larger scientific community in India is hostage to fear and intimidation.

If the Election Commission of India had pulled up the prime minister for his dangerous and divisive lie about the Congress manifesto promising to snatch and give away private property and gold to Muslims, then the BJP would not have dared to put out the vile animation video.…
Some Mughal Monarchs destroyed places of worship of other communities for personal glory and wealth, others did not! Hindu mobs destroyed the Babri Masjid for electoral gain, many Indians respect other religions, history is complex not linear
In this insightful article, @PalshikarSuhas analyses the vituperative turn to the BJP's campaign. The party has abandoned its talk of economic goals and has fallen back on fear-mongering.Why? Do read this important article. #Election2024 theindiaforum.in/politics/campa… @TheIndiaForum

"Lured by what technology can offer in terms of DBT, welfare is reframing itself as a gift offered by the party leader, almost as an exchange of loyalty rather than a fundamental right that ought to frame the terms of the social contract..." - @AiyarYamini

In @TheEconomist story on India's internal migration (economist.com/asia/2024/03/2…), @ChinmayTumbe calls for "an inter-state migration council to help migrants & ensure their freedom of movement" For more on this, read his @CPR_India @CarnegieEndow paper cprindia.org/wp-content/upl…

.@BShrayana is spot on here: "feminising” India doesn't mean counting women in power or valorising women achieving glory, but moving away from the brute language of glory or power towards a paradigm of care and deliberative empathy. indianexpress.com/article/opinio…
Listening to discussions, lectures in @CPR_India inspired me to move from practice to research. Later I joined the org & found an immensely supportive & intellectually rich community. Now I am among those who organise the CPR-CSH workshop. Hope to keep doing so.
