Keralam makes history.

For the first time, the Keralam Legislative Assembly has passed a resolution seeking the removal of the Chief Election Commissioner.

The integrity of our electoral process is non-negotiable. Serious concerns over voter roll revisions, the disenfranchisement of eligible voters, and the impartiality of the Election Commission cannot be ignored.

Through this historic resolution, Keralam has put forward three clear demands:

1. Restore voting rights: Address the irregularities in the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process and immediately restore the voting rights of all eligible voters who have been wrongfully excluded.

2. Remove the Chief Election Commissioner: Initiate proceedings to remove the Chief Election Commissioner, whose impartiality has come under serious question.

3. Reform the selection process: Reconstitute the Election Commissioners’ selection committee to include the Prime Minister, the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, and the Chief Justice of India, ensuring the independence and credibility of the institution.

The right to vote is the foundation of our democracy. No institution can be allowed to undermine the constitutional rights of our citizens.

Our stand is unequivocal. The right to vote must be protected. The Constitution must be upheld. Democracy must prevail.

Keralam stands firmly for free and fair elections.

#India: We are concerned by reports of mass detentions of demonstrators, protest leaders, members of civil society organisations, lawyers and journalists, before and during today’s large-scale demonstrations in Delhi.

We call on the authorities to ensure that the right to peaceful assembly is fully respected and fulfilled.

How the SIR deletions affect the Bengal election results? Were certain categories of voters targeted and if so, what were the consequences?
Does the analysis of Bengal elections suggest any lessons for the forthcoming state elections?

Prannoy Roy (@PrannoyRoy7749) uses data on SIR deletions and swings in votes to answer these and other questions about the impact of SIR on the Bengal elections.

Unfortunately, we are being blocked by certain oligarchs in order to maintain their monopolistic chokehold on the Indian people. You can guess who they are …

This is a crime against the people of India!

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.

#Watch | Following Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay’s announcement to officially drop the proposed greenfield airport at Parandur, social media and political corridors have been consumed by debates over Chennai's aviation capacity, economic growth, and ecological preservation.

In this ground report, we travel across Eganapuram and Nelvoy to speak with engineering graduates, young farmers, and job seekers to understand what the cancellation of the Parandur airport project actually means for the next generation.

प्रधानमंत्री मोदी भारत के इतिहास के सबसे युवा-विरोधी प्रधानमंत्री हैं - इतने युवा विरोधी कि एक नाकाम शिक्षा मंत्री धर्मेंद्र प्रधान का इस्तीफा भी नहीं ले सकते।

152 पेपर लीक। 7.5 करोड़ छात्र पीड़ित। और सज़ा एक दोषी को भी नहीं। सजा किसे मिली? मेहनती युवाओं को।

और जब इन बच्चों ने शिक्षा के जायज़ सवाल उठाए - तो जवाब में मिली लाठी और हिरासत। लीक करने वाले अपराधी आज़ाद - और वाजिब मुद्दे उठाने वाले छात्र घसीटे जाते हैं, पीटे जाते हैं।

यह सरकार सिर्फ़ युवाओं को नाकाम नहीं कर रही - उनपर टूट पड़ी है।

For generations of Indians, Bata has been synonymous with school shoes, office footwear and family shopping trips. But here’s a surprising fact: Bata isn’t an Indian company. Founded in 1894 in present-day Czech Republic, Bata expanded across the world and adopted a unique strategy wherever it went.

An Open Letter to the Jantar Mantar protestors:

My dear young friends,

I address you today not as a politician or an MP, but as someone deeply troubled by what is happening to your generation of young Indians.

This is personal for me. I was born to a middle-class family: my father was a salaried newspaper employee, my mother a homemaker, with three children to educate on one income. For a family like ours, merit was not a slogan. Scholarships, fair examinations, honest results — these were the only way one salary could carry three children's dreams.

I went to school in Mumbai and Kolkata, to college here in Delhi, topped the University and earned admission into IIM — and chose instead to follow my passion for international affairs, in America, on a scholarship. Nothing was inherited; everything was earned by hard work and yes, Exams.

So I know that a fair, merit-based system is the only ladder for young people from lower and middle-income families to climb up. When that ladder is broken — papers leaked, examinations cancelled, trust destroyed — the children of the rich and powerful do not suffer. They have other ladders. It is your dreams, and your families' sacrifices (and tragically, in some homes, young lives themselves) that are betrayed.

To the young people gathered at Jantar Mantar, and those raising your voices peacefully across India: this country hears you. Your anger is not indiscipline — it is the anguish of a generation that did everything right and was still betrayed . You are not alone.

And to the millions of young Indians watching quietly: your generation is not a problem to be managed. You are the answer to India's future. Do not lose hope. This ladder will be rebuilt — by you, and by every Indian who stands with you.

To Shri Sonam Wangchuk-ji, my heartfelt appeal: please end your fast. You have awakened the conscience of the nation; that is what a fast is meant to do. India needs your voice for the long road ahead.

With Parliament in session again from Monday, we will have an opportunity to raise the students’ issues in the highest forum of our democracy. That’s where the problem should be addressed, not by fasting unto death. Please heed my plea.

And finally, to the Government: I respectfully urge you to reach out and engage in the dialogue our democracy owes its young citizens. That is not weakness; that is statesmanship.
