The use of pellet guns against protesters began in Kashmir, and now those guns are being deployed in the nation's capital. One clear lesson of recent US and Indian history is that tactics that originate in the 'periphery' will eventually be used in the center as well.

After years of studying, waiting and hoping, what kind of future awaits us?

Read the story. It mentions that Delhi Police has denied using pellets. Pellet guns and shock-batons are part of RAF gear, which was working alongside Delhi Police and deployed in and around Jantar Mantar on July 20. RAF is a part of CRPF. The central armed police forces are deployed on the request of the State police, in this case- Delhi Police.

In my years as District Magistrate when India was burning with the Babri Masjid movement, a vicious hate-mongering voice was of Sadhvi Rithambara
Today she is picked up for India's third highest civilian honour
India is utterly disgraced by the Padma Bhushan for Sadhvi Rithambara

Dr. Manmohan Singh said that history would remember him kindly. I’m happy to see that’s the case on social media today. He had a sense of humour. Leaders mean different things to different people, I can only speak to my experience. Personally, I remember being in my 20s and doing jokes about him on prime time bulletins at CNBC with our team having been made fully aware his office was watching and we’re okay with it. He was the most powerful man in the country and we were doing jokes about him five nights a week on a mainstream news channel, that weren’t even that great because we were utterly immature. Mind you this wasn’t even on a comedy show but as a part of a 9pm news bulletin that every businessperson in the country watched. Think about how far fetched that seems today. The mark of a truly great, secure, and humble leader, to my profession, is the ability to take a joke. Great leaders understand that’s part of the job, that powerful politicians and jest have always been historically intertwined for centuries, and that taking humour within grace makes them so much greater. A politician who can take a joke is truly powerful, and a politician who can make a joke about themselves is admirable, and invincible. In that respect, he stood tall above any Indian leader in my lifespan. Rest in peace sir 🙏

As Dr Manmohan Singh passes away, probably his last full-length interview on camera…
Late winter, 2004…

“We’re an indisciplined democracy, we can focus only in crises..” he said, among much else..

Pls do watch this #WalkTheTalk

Korean netizens have been saying the popular and successful movie “12.12: The Day” was actually a documentary of Yoon’s martial law attempt. Now, there’s even a movie poster

Kamala Harris didn't lose because she's a woman or because she's black.

She lost because if your donor-rigged political and media system limits the choice to two hardline neoliberal candidates, with anything else denounced as 'communism', the most hardline, neoliberal candidate will have an edge.

Over time, the system just keeps moving further to the hardline, neoliberal right. You can't stop that relentless shift by voting for one of the two symptoms of your diseased political system.

You have to rise up against the diseased system itself.

I’m continuously baffled by the sheer entitlement of the avg Indian consumer. Your food is travelling and reaching your house under 30 mins. That SHOULD be expensive in any rational society. Why do we expect free market benefits without free market costs?!
