"Imagine if someone photocopied every book in the public library, burned the library down, and then opened a subscription service for the copies."
Yes, more or less this

For people with visual and mobility barriers, access to prominent cultural centres in Delhi is marked, sometimes, by the inadequacy and, more often, the lack of accessible design and infrastructure.

The audaciousness of Indian forward caste with which they claim their unequal share & right to oppress/marginalise is sickening. Our society legitimises inequality. Equitable distribution of resources, access, and simply to live should not be controversial.

This is seriously depressing, but not surprising. It's the 'anti-woke' side of left circles. Chomsky: 'the hysteria that has developed about abuse of women.'

This is the most exhaustive effort to map the organisational network of the RSS, based on the extensive academic effort of a team led by @FelixPal8, hosted at @sciencespo, and fact-checked and mapped by @thecaravanindia. Nothing of this scale has been attempted earlier. Here👇🏾

If you haven't already read @kavita_krishnan's piece on what Noam Chomsky’s friendship with Jeffrey Epstein says about progressive politics, now is the time to read it

More bad news for mobile phone users in India (after SIM binding): Our government is mandating a government app (sanchar saathi) on every new phone, permanently, Reuters reports.

Will be pushed to your phone via OTA. New smartphones need to have it. Users cannot delete it. This is a first. India has never before required an unremovable state app on every device. Russia does btw, with its MAX Messenger (started September 2025).

A few comments regarding this:
1. Sanchar Saathi is a lost phone tracker, but if it gets embedded with no possibility of removal, it becomes a government tracker on your device.

IF the government is allowed to get away with this, what’s next? A mandatory digital ID app? Digiyatra forcefully installed on each device? An app that disables VPNs or tracks your app and browser history? An app that sends copies of your messages to the government once a month?

Once the OS layer is opened to the state, it doesn’t close.

2. Legally, one can argue that your mobile phone is your personal space, and this is an invasion of your personal space.

It’s where we have our most private conversations. Exchange sensitive information with people we trust.

How do we know this app isn’t used to access files and messaging on our device, which is unencrypted on device? Or a future update won’t do that? This is clearly an invasion of our privacy.

3. Remember how the government exempt itself from much of the Data Protection Law. This explains why.

The Data Protection Law will make private companies more accountable and the Indian government less accountable.

4. Bloatware is already an issue with some phones (It’s why I don’t use Samsung). Now there’s more, and this time the government is forcing bloatware. I guess we’ll all have to root our phones now. When you buy a phone with bloatware, you're choosing to buy it with bloatware. This is different.

5. The way things work with India’s Department of Telecom, there was no public consultation, the order wasn’t disclosed. Just forced. This is dictatorial in nature. If they get away with this, more will follow.

Frustrated by the poor condition of the Mumbai-Ahmedabad national highway (NH‑48), severe traffic congestion over 100 residents from the Naigaon-Chinchoti-Vasai area have written to PM Modi, seeking permission to die by suicide. They complained that what was once a one-hour commute for them has, over the past two months, stretched to five or six hours.

[Jasmine Kaur 🌈 @trying0000]

"Many poor commuters work or live within a few kms of each other and rarely travel the long distances that justify train travel. This casts serious doubts on the government’s motivations behind hemorrhaging money on the Metro, instead of fortifying other modes of transport."

[Ankush/অঙ্কুশ @ankushpal2001]

In ‘Who Can Afford Delhi’s Metro? How a Dream Project Became a Commuter’s Nightmare,’ I write for @project_polis on how the Delhi Metro is yet another large-scale project termed as ‘development,’ seldom aiding most of the population.

Let that sink in. I mean really sink in.

Global military spending at £2,700,000,000,000.

This is enough Money to fix world hunger 25 times over.

We’ve launched the Savitribai Phule Resource Centre in Gadchiroli to empower SC/ST students through higher education. Classes have begun, but admissions are still open. I appeal to all friends and well-wishers—support us in sustaining this important initiative.
