[Article 14 @Article14live]

In a democracy with a growing population & true commitment to universal adult franchise, a revision of voter rolls should increase voters. The opposite is true in India: 100 million are at risk of not just losing the right to vote but their place in the republic, writes @samar11

If you weren’t a part of the first 2 phases of the #SIR, gather your wits & documents.

By the end of the 3rd phase, now rolling out, about 100 million #Indians may be deleted, creating the world’s 17th-largest country of un-citizens, I write

"Seed Stories gives us a deeply moving tale of the loss of traditional knowledge, loss of diversity & the destruction of farming communities the world over."
Touching review by Gabriela Soto Laveaga, Professor of History of Science at Harvard, just out in the JPS.

It is with profound grief that we mourn the sad demise of Senior Photojournalist and Vice Chairman of the Mumbai Press Club, Rajanish Kakade.

Rajanish, 55, was not only a seasoned lensman but also a guiding force for generations of young photojournalists. Through his work, he captured defining moments with integrity and sensitivity. Through his mentorship, he shaped countless careers, always encouraging young photographers to pursue the truth with courage and compassion. His contribution to Mumbai’s journalistic fraternity went far beyond photographs — he built people, strengthened institutions, and upheld the finest traditions of the press.

A recipient of several national and international awards, Rajanish began his career with the Sakal Group before joining the Hindustan Times, where he worked for three years. He later joined the Associated Press and had been with the organization for the past eighteen years.

His passing leaves a deep void in the media community. He will be remembered for his humility, sharp eye, unwavering commitment to journalism, and his nurturing spirit towards budding talent. Heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, and the entire fraternity of journalists and photographers. His legacy will continue to inspire.

His mortal remains will be kept at his residence and will be taken to the Shivaji Park Crematorium at 11 a.m.

Our hearts go out to his family, and may they find the strength to bear this immense loss.

#Maharashtra added more electors in 5 mnths before the state elections 2024, than in the prev 5 yrs. My analysis indicates large additions, concentrated in regions & constituencies largely won by Mahayuti, and timed with pre-poll mobilization windows.

My article - on how three Environment ministers between 2009-14 intervened in the debate over #GMcrops - is out in the Annals of @theAAG.
It provides a rare ethnography of the politics of expertise at the interface between senior bureaucrats and the union cabinet of ministers.
