He slept beside homeless people to understand poverty. Years later, his work helped shape India’s fight against hunger.

Belgian-born economist Jean Drèze didn’t just study poverty through statistics and research papers.

In 1980s London, he lived alongside homeless people, cooked meals with squatters in an abandoned hospital and helped organise a movement to open empty buildings to those with nowhere to live.

Born in 1959, he moved to India in 1979 and spent years studying rural life, listening to villagers and understanding the realities behind hunger and inequality.

In 2002, he became an Indian citizen, making India the home of both his life and his work.

Drèze went on to play a key role in the Right to Food Campaign and helped shape landmark social policies, including MGNREGA, which guarantees rural households paid work, and the National Food Security Act.

His research also explored child nutrition, education and healthcare.

For Drèze, economics has always been about more than numbers. It is about understanding people’s struggles and helping build systems that protect their right to live with dignity.

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 🧵

Only a mother can do this.

A 47-year-old mother ran 3 km barefoot, just to win Rs 5,000 for her daughters’ education. What a story of a mother’s love and determination. 🙏

Raja Rani Temple, Bhubaneshwar. A thousand year old masterpiece of Kalinga architecture, where every stone tells a story. Such fascinating heritage in the middle of the city.
