@thhakisake i dont think they actually know what spatio-temporal context is considering they treat a 100-year old text set in an entirely different context as holy gospel. same instincts as religious bigots lowkey

[Y @drycactii]

95 years of hard-earned autonomy. Now under the scanner, this time the ISI

The Indian Statistical Institute (founded 1931 by P.C. Mahalanobis) is not just another campus. It is one of India’s rare institutions that was built on scientific independence, not bureaucratic control. The ISI Act of 1959 recognised it as an Institution of National Importance while preserving its society-based, faculty-driven character.

The new Indian Statistical Institute Bill, 2026 proposes to scrap that framework. It converts ISI into a statutory body corporate, replaces the representative Council with a government-appointed Board of Governors, and significantly curtails the role of the Academic Council. Faculty and the Institute’s own statutory bodies have publicly said this was done with zero meaningful consultation with them.

The government’s pitch is “modernisation” and alignment with IIT/IIM-style governance. Critics inside ISI argue the opposite: it concentrates power, reduces elected academic voice, and opens the door to external interference in academic decisions. They also note that the 4th Review Committee (Mashelkar) did not recommend repealing the 1959 Act or abolishing the Society structure.

This is not an abstract governance debate. Institutions that produce independent data, rigorous statistical research, and critical inquiry need structural insulation from short-term political or bureaucratic priorities. Once that insulation is thinned, it is hard to restore.
Academic freedom is not a slogan. It is the operating condition of any serious research institute. ISI faculty are right to raise the alarm.

Parliament should insist on genuine consultation with the Institute’s own bodies before rewriting a 95-year-old model that actually worked. Another Premier Institute being Saffronised and being brought under RSS Siege.

@goldenslmbrs31 What is up with these people treating books as just another way of quantifying their reach? Is the point of the book just to be sold or to say something meaningful? I have not once seen her sell her book for what is in it across this entire set of marketing stunts

You saw @narendramodi's ridiculous video saying he forgives 'our daughters' for their abusive language at Jantar Mantar ... now read @AnandTeltumbde's brilliant piece in defence of the profanity of the protesters.

"Every hegemonic order establishes not only acceptable political opinions but also an acceptable political language. Civility, respectability and decorum become part of the discipline through which power regulates dissent: protesters are expected to be polite even while protesting injustice. But history suggests that ruptures typically begin by breaking this linguistic convention. The language of revolt is seldom parliamentary. It is emotional rather than measured, mocking rather than deferential, often deliberately transgressive – and what looks like vulgarity to the establishment is frequently the first public expression of accumulated humiliation and anger."

442 million people, simultaneously one of the largest Catholic countries and the largest Muslim country, and its biggest cultural export would still be Tung Tung Tung Sahur

The Union Government of India used its entire ecosystem including police, media and social media followers to get 4 kids to post apology videos. A very impressive achievement.

Hello @sudhirchaudhary, Do you remember this 2007 Fake Sting operation by a channel (Live India) on Uma Khurana, A maths teacher in a Delhi government school. A mob attacked & manhandled the teacher. She was arrested on charges of immoral trafficking. Later the police found the 'sting operation' by a channel to be a hoax as the woman shown in the video clip as the victim prostitution racket was not a student but an aspiring journalist. She later filed a defamation on the Channel and its CEO?

DO READ: An important investigation. We had to do it, cos establishment media was too busy outraging over youngsters dancing. What a bunch of losers broadcast journos are 🙄

I would like to say the same,
Apar has helped me every step of the way, be it CBSE OSM Procurement Fiasco, be it the Tender Database dump, Darshi or Anything.

It is incredibly sad to see Vulture-like Clout-Hungry News Organisations vehemently attacking IFF for helping the people.

The IFF needs your help, Donate and Pitch in to make sure that someone is always advocating for freedom on yhe internet.
