Rishika Ranga

I read (too much) and write (not enough) about energy, infra and regulation.

Turning into a platform to complain about blr infra..

Using capital to solve for climate change is just repackaging the original problem as a solution 🙄

[Thomas Piketty @PikettyWIL]

Ahead of the UN General Assembly in New York next week, I joined more than 1,500 academics and economists from 100+ countries in calling on global leaders to create an International Panel on Inequality (IPI), modelled on the IPCC, as recommended last year by the G20 Committee on Inequality led by @JosephEStiglitz.

On September 23, South Africa, Brazil, Norway, and Spain will convene, together with the UN Secretary-General and heads of state and government, to discuss the creation of the IPI.

The World Inequality Lab is actively supporting this initiative, which aligns with and can build on the work we have been doing for more than a decade.

Inequality is a political choice. It is shaped by the policies, institutions, and governance systems we build. In an increasingly chaotic world, establishing the facts and cooperating across borders remain our best tools for tackling it.

Please share.

I follow so many leftists, communists accounts and no one is calling for rapido boycott....
Sadly, it's only dalit activists and accounts who fight for and take up the caste issues...

Election results joy aside, I am back to battling law schools for their unfair & exploitative labour practices. I have filed RTIs with NLSIU & NUJS seeking information on their employment practices in Oct23 & not rcvd any response..

[Rishika Ranga @rishikarr]

The irony of NUJS hosting this event while enjoying the benefits of low pay and exploitation of their own staff.

they are really sticking with the trans public washroom panic in a country with no public washrooms

She is not a criminal. She isn't carrying a weapon. She is just an Adivasi woman fighting for Jal-Jangal-Jameen and her constitutional rights.

This is how she is being treated. There are countless others facing the same. Why is nobody talking about them??

@sighyush @scroll_in Please put the photos of the men who harassed the women instead

[Rishika Ranga @rishikarr]

@bhumi_mithra ..and to show how virtuous the heros are. They are incapable of making movies without using sexual assault as a plot point because they don't know anything about women aside from us being sexual objects

Every time democracy withstands a challenge, it echoes the genius of Babasaheb Dr. B.R. Ambedkar.

He knew that power must remain accountable to the people, and he gave India a Constitution capable of defending that principle across generations.

Today’s victory is a reminder that constitutional values outlast political power.

Man we used to be a proper country that stood against colonial monsters. Now we're the colonial monsters against every minority in our own country

@MBPatil When is this opening?

[Arjun* @mxtaverse]

India is a cheat code for American companies. Anything bad or toxic for the environment can be sent to India for a small fee.

[Rishika Ranga @rishikarr]

Do check out my piece on how the electricity sector can better plan for the data centre expansion

Big tech fans and followers always use Western interest as proof of success. Same logic as Sanghis: “But the US does it too.” Since when is the worst country on the planet the gold standard?

As someone who has been filing RTIs since 2012 (albeit infrequently), it is only in the last 5 years that my RTI requests have gone completely ignored. I would always receive responses earlier.

[BehanBox @BehanBox]

Every year, 4-6 million Right To Information appeals are filed in India. Yet, as of June 2025, 4,13,972 RTIs remained unanswered, kept “pending” with the Central Information Commission.

RTI is a landmark Act that puts power in the hands of people. #SaveRTI

[newslaundry @newslaundry]

India’s richest 1% own 11.6 trillion dollars in assets. And more than 60% of their wealth is in physical assets.

So why do they hoard homes, land, and gold instead of building businesses?

@kaul_vivek explains how rich India’s hoarding fuels inequality.

If even a fraction of the wrath that Vairamuthu gets for his random comments on Gods had come for the sexual harassment and subsequent threatening of countless young girls and women, society would have been better.

If that wrath could be directed toward the countless parole of convicted rapist Ram Rahim Insaan to campaign for votes, society would have been safer and women wouldn’t be running to save themselves from gang rape.

If that wrath could be directed each time the abusers of minors feature as ‘judges’ on TV shows …

But yeah that that person gatham gatham etc.
