  1. The bankruptcy of 40,943 companies is a sign of policy failure. #Nehru's policies were old, but #Modi government's #demonetisation, #GST and COVID-19 management worsened the situation. The question is not of responsibility, but of solution.

  2. 'I Get Hungry By 11 am But I'm Still Working': Rural Wages Stagnated During Modi's 10-Year Tenure

    The last time someone offered to read my palm, my #wallet mysteriously disappeared.

    But Amazon say it requires an "#intentionalGesture"…

  9. Is India’s North-South Divide a Challenge to Hindutva?

    It is no mystery that social justice and Hindutva are hurtling towards a definitive show down. A battle with no middle ground and the taking of prisoners, most unlikely.
