The Election Commission of India is under fire like never before.

The SIR has struck 13 crore names off draft rolls, putting the EC at the centre of intense public debate over its role in deciding who gets to vote — and who doesn’t.

HOWEVER, what nobody knew: through that same period, some of the sharpest questions were being asked from inside.

Out today, after months of work. Our #ExpressInvestigation 🧵

Proud of the courage, character, and integrity of the students of NLS.

But the less said about an administration and leadership that cannot stand with its own students, the better.

My tribute to Janaki, meant originally for her to read, but her passing interrupted; & why we owe our artists more words while they can still hear them

@twitatreyee Aamchee - excellent street style food, hop skip away from Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan. And Chimanlals in fort for the best paper stationary.

@saicarnatic Thank you! Super happy you liked it.

'Mundane' is not where meaning disappears; it is where meaning settles. In this essay for the Scroll, I write how the culture of Malleswaram lives in the many repeated and mundane acts of daily life.

In Bangalore’s Malleshwaram, the sediment of time forms a conservative way of life https://t.co/LsFgwPrO7u

In the latest episode of @IdeasofIndia @mercatus I speak with Rajmohan Gandhi about Vallabhai Patel, Mohandas Gandhi, C Rajagopalachari, and Gaffar Khan, their competing visions, their ideas in contrast with Ambedkar and Nehru, the civil rights movement, and much more. Link 👇

Oxfam joins the display of mindless illiteracy with which leftist activists discuss impact of the British Raj. In a report called “Takers not Makers”, they claim that imperialist Britain “extracted” 85 tr $ from India, adding for drama, “enough to carpet London with 50£ notes”.

1/In the first essay, Parv Tyagi (@parvtyagi_) discusses the value of biographical work in law and jurisprudence. He examines how the book threads together Baxi’s private passions and public scholarship an unravels as a labour of love.

We discuss the political differences betwen Rajaji, Masani, and NG Ranga, why Swatantra did not ally with the Hindu Right, what distinguished the Swatantra from western Libertarians, the disengagement of royal families from Indian politics, and much more! Do tune in!

[Parv Tyagi @parvtyagi_]

I sit down with @Aditya_Balasub to discuss his very important book “Toward a Free Economy: Swatantra and Opposition Politics in Democratic India”. The book attempts to recast the Nehruvian era as a period of contestation rather than consensus.

The book tells the story of what was a vibrant and home-grown critique of Indian economic planning.

@IjmSom @BahutvaKtka @karwanemohabbat Thank you for your very kind words!

“Conservatism arises from the sense that one belongs to some continuing social order. In feeling this, a man stands in the flow of some shared life. What remains of the common shared life of Hindus and Muslims in large parts of this country today?” I write for DH:

[Deccan Herald @DeccanHerald]

#DHOpinion | Religion, integral to daily life for Hindus, has today become intrusive or dismissive of other faiths. The consecration, whether celebrated or contested, marks the fall of a mosque as much as the creation of a new temple.
