Sayani ChakrabortyJune 29, 20220

Police in the Indian capital, Delhi, have detained Mohammed Zubair, the co-founder of ALT News and a self-described "fact-checker." An angry Hanuman devotee has accused Zubair of spreading hostility and hurting religious sensibilities with a tweet. The anti-Modi movement has been put to the test by Zubair's detention.

The Guardian seems to agree with opponents of Prime Minister Narendra Modi that Zubair's identity is important to the tale. Taking a cue from the situation, maybe...

Vikas DeshwalJune 27, 20220

Maharashtra Diary: It’s Time To Dispel ‘Magic Number’, ‘Anti-Defection’ Misconceptions

Sayani ChakrabortyJune 27, 20220

A solution to the Shiv Sena's dissidence dilemma has yet to be found. Opposition lawmakers in the state and TV anchors parked outside the Radisson Blu hotel in Guwahati are ecstatic over the growing number of dissidents. However, amid all this drama, most politicians and the media have shattered the weak anti-defection rule, resulting in a great deal of uncertainty. Everyone is talking about the number 37 like it's some kind of mystical potion. It is assumed that the dissident group of Eknath Shinde may avoid disqualification if it can get the support of at least 37 MLAs, or two-thirds of the party's 55 lawmakers. When it comes to the initial legislation on defection, the Constitution's 10th Schedule, most individuals conveniently forget about things they should have known about. Def...

Sayani ChakrabortyJune 7, 20220

Pooja YadavMay 25, 20220

In spite of certain outstanding examples of individual achievement of Indian women and a precise improvement in their general condition over the last 100 years, it remains true that women still constitute an oversized body of underprivileged citizens.
