The EVM debate has run its course. EVMs need small fixes, let’s develop consensus about these and move on. The real problem isn’t the machines, but the vast inequality in media coverage, financial resources, and state power. We must focus on addressing these if we care about fair elections. @IndianExpress

My article in @IndianExpress today on a new wave of children’s books in India.

“The last three decades have seen a sudden expansion in the sheer volume of children’s books, also reflected in an expansion in the number of publishers, authors, illustrators, etc. The readers have expanded too, as there is a class now that can afford to go beyond textbooks. There is also a wider range of genres including graphic novels and age group-specific books, including young-adult literature. And there is a discernible improvement in the quality of design, translation and production. At the same time, the two editors conclude that “given India’s large, diverse and multilingual character, both the production and consumption of children’s books are mere drops in terms of actual needs”.

RealityCheck: The simple narrative of 'good ecologists versus bad politicians' resurfaced in response to Kerala landslides. But the true story of Western Ghats Ecology reports shows everyone in shades of grey. The b&w version is a clickbait. @reporters_co https://t.co/wKZl9WVeNJ

On the morning of 10th May, the day of polling, newspapers in Bengaluru carried the ads reproduced below. Do see them side by side. The BJP in Karnataka was pushing the Prime Minister front and centre; the Congress in Karnataka was promoting only its two major state leaders. In other words, Modi was on the ballot for this Assembly election; but the Gandhis were not.
