Indians became voters before they were citizens. Perhaps a good time to revisit the story of the greatest experiment of democracy in human history.

In the summer of 1952, Mary D’Souza received an unexpected surprise - an invitation to participate in the Olympics. But attending the Olympics seemed to be an impossible task - a meagre salary and being one of 12 children certainly didn't help. So what happened then? 1/20
Arupyoti Saikia has provided us with an encyclopedic book, rich in grounded knowledge and content, with an unerring perspective with a sharply focused lens on a land, its people and their challenges. downtoearth.org.in/blog/governanc…
