If a Hindu can find in the vestiges of history a perceived hurt against an abstract ancestor, and weaponise it to seek revenge in the present, then millions of lower castes can rise against the upper castes for centuries of oppression and ostracism.

@vinayaravind @RaoSumukh I wouldn’t want to look at one more screen. I would rather check the stats when I want to!

Newsclick shut down, journalists lost their jobs - young reporters were called suspects. There should be an enquiry against the delhi police and ED officers in charge and should be made to pay damages

@mknid Awful!

Excl: Ground reality vs official records: Census fieldwork is throwing up data that differ from govt records on open defecation free villages, use of cow dung cakes/kerosene/crop residue for cooking in urban areas despite LPG connection, no electricity. Enumerators asked to revisit and review the “data discrepancies”.I ✍️

Do we even know how to ask hard-hitting questions anymore if indeed there is a press conference tomorrow by the PM? Our trophy of the decade is atrophy.

‘Disaster Decade’. That’s it.

Dear lord, it’s en-dash that ChatGPT loves, not em! People generally use hyphen instead of en dash for, say, 2026-27! But not AI! It loves its en! 2026–27!

The first one is a digitally altered page being wrongly presented as the front page of The Hindu on June 6, 1967. The second is the actual page released that day. This is what social media is capable of; it can even alter the front page of India's national English daily.

at Kolkata's Asutosh College yesterday, saffron marks were smeared on portraits of Tagore, Netaji Subhas Bose etc.
Netaji once visited a temple in Singapore. When he came out, he rubbed the Tilak off his forehead and said 'A religious mark is IMPERMISSABLE for a man in uniform'

So who is gonna be CM of Kerala:
KC Venugopal, who is not the hot favourite among Congress workers, or VD Satheesan, who is not the first choice of most MLAs in his own party!

Strange choices after a landslide win!
