There was a time when Universities use to nurture and be home to saintly scholars like Jean Dreze.
Congratulations Professor.

@paranjoygt Honestly, I have never understood Mr. Tharoor' s politics. It would be foolish on our part to expect Mr Tharoor to stand up to the Modi government.

Don’t miss this important article by Srinivasan Ramani in The Hindu of September 1, 2025, which presents the findings of the newspaper’s data investigation into Bihar’s scandalous deleted lists. This data probe nails down ‘unusual patterns,’ with several areas showing abnormal deletions in categories such as gender and for reasons such as deaths.

One expects these findings to be brought to the attention of the Supreme Court of India, which is hearing the matter.

‘A few questions need to be raised:

‘What verification was conducted before marking voters as deceased? Why do certain constituencies show high concentration of anomalies? Why do women seem to be excluded more? And why has such a high share of young voters been excluded under the category 'deceased' in many parts?
‘The ECI should examine polling stations and verify the deleted voters and establish a way of restoring excluded voters if they have been excluded erroneously. For this to happen, the deadline for the claims and objections period must be extended further.’

Journalism is NOT a crime

[Karuna Nundy @karunanundy]

Important to note that Justice Nagarathna's courage may jeopardise her historic appointment as Chief Justice. This act of integrity will give ballast to many to do the right thing.

Join the Editors Guild of India in condemning and opposing this outrageous challenge — in substance as well as in procedure — to the constitutional right to freedom of speech and media freedom.

[Sasikanth Senthil @s_kanth]

A Supreme Court judge has no constitutional brief to deliver nationalist sermons to the Leader of Opposition. A courtroom is a forum for legal scrutiny not a pulpit for ideological policing.

If a politician dared to lecture a judge on judicial conduct or courtroom propriety, it would invite contempt. Why then is it permissible for Justice Dipankar Datta to stray into political commentary and question the patriotism of an elected representative? His role is to uphold the Constitution, not hand out certificates of Indianness.

When judges begin acting like political gatekeepers, they don't just blur institutional lines, they burn them. This kind of judicial overreach is not merely improper; it's deeply corrosive to democracy.

Four reasons Banu Mushtaq’s Booker Shortlist is a historic win for Indian women writers:
🔴 She's a woman — long tradition of being erased
🔴 She’s 76 — breaking ageist ceilings
🔴 It’s for short stories — a genre long sidelined
🔴 She writes in Kannada — a language too often ignored
🔴 She was told her voice was “too quiet” — now it’s echoing worldwide
She’s burned down every gate they built — of ageism, sexism, erasure, marginalisation — and lit the way for what’s next. ✨ India just found a new literary icon.

Thankyou @PSainath_org Sir for saying this. I have always believed the real Hindi imposition happened in the North. Where beautiful languages like Awadhi were killed. And reduced to ‘dialects’. Awadhi is not a dialect. It is a language.

Deeply saddened to hear of the passing of our city's legendary bookseller, KKS Murthy. A man of enormous charm and civility, his wonderful Select Bookshop sustained generations of readers in Bangalore and across India. He will be sorely missed. https://t.co/SrPkJ30hGe
