There need to be more dialogue with academics, intellectuals and civic society- political practitioners of decolonization in the global south. My regards to @KalpanaWilson for authoring the article

[Anandhapadmanabhan @arkaeiver]

The efforts of Hindu supremacist movement in India to reshape decolonialism for their bigoted agenda in the light of reorientation of global south needs to be closely observed. It may find allies across the global south with similar politics.

Through the article, I have attempted to take a broad look at the discourses surrounding fact checker Independence and the concerns about the rising financial dependence of fact checkers on social media platforms like Meta, accounting for over 40% of the total Industry funding.

@Meta has released its long-awaited #HRIA #India, summarized into four pages of a global report. I write a🧵 on what we as one of the 40 stakeholders actually communicated towards the independent Assessment which is not released by Meta. (1/n) https://t.co/sLuYKSyGeg

There should be consensus among the anti fascist forces and broadest range of democratic sections to undertake such a project.

The Fascistisation of Indian Bureaucracy and the deepening cooperation between the street Fascists and officer fascists may have irreversible effects on the institutions of the country. @NSSRNews @IndianExpress @scroll_in @thewire_in @AilajHq @Dipankar_cpiml

The role of vigilantes in today’s India, & the way they relate to the police signal the making of a deeper state - an additional challenge for the opposition @KingsIndiaInst @CarnegieIndia @CarnegieSAsia @ScPoResearch @AllianceProg @IndiaSolNW @MilanV https://t.co/jhSnC9sD0Q

Also important is to bring together knowledge generating institutions to monitor, gather data to subject the behaviors of the bureaucracy to conceptual and empirical research on various questions of pressing importance. Namely, how it affect the democratic outcomes.

Article by @MuhammedKambal at the @NortheasternAI calls for a fact checking Independence Act to make fact checking into a public commons

Can the current opposition unity paradigm succeed? It remains to be seen. But the premise of opposition unity today goes significantly beyond the surface level adjustments it was about a decade ago.

[Anandhapadmanabhan @arkaeiver]

The current paradigm of opposition unity is different in content from the various variants that preceded it in the post independence history of India.

Below are some key aspects that appear to me and the role that it will play in shaping the country for generations to come.

This is different from the traditional left formations like CPI and CPIM which would have phases where they intensely tap into movements. Using it to gain a favourable parliamentary foothold with other parties. Then make compromises in parliamentary policy adjustments
