"The recent widespread police brutalities in New Delhi do not signal absolute power; they appear as cracks in Modi’s strongman image, revealing a politician struggling to maintain control over a resilient democratic resistance."

Remember this clearly - she was just interacting with the police themselves figuring out where people could light candles and stand when the police suddenly lost their minds and started pulling her away.
The SIR needs to be reversed and the CEC Gyanesh sacked. Those have to be the starting points for any meaningful action to restore ECI's credibility.
When you think a BJP CM can't get any lower, one of them takes it as a challenge - and plunges even lower.
Good of the HT to say it clearly. The gutting of the Green nod by the Modi regime lies at the root of the people's anger being witnessed in Arunachal.
Deccan Chronicle: Modi has now chosen to call the Congress, which his party wanted to eliminate from the Indian political scene, “parasite”; and those who oppose the ideas of the ruling party “dimaagi Naxals”. It [is]... hardly a quality that befits the Prime Minister of India.

The alarm bells that this year is going to be Super El Niño year is ringing since January of this year.
Scan if any one in the polity, any leader in power - agri / commerce/ finance / pmo / hm, any one from RSS, wrote / said / proposed / warned / promised anything about it, assuming off course if they know that El Niño is not a narco drama.
On the contrary they wrote columns arguing why chopping Nicobar is good, gifted away land for resourcing guzzling data-centres in drought prone regions, diverted food stock to ethanol, put people who are opposed forests diversion to mining and unscientific hydro projects behind bars.
The political economy of Ecocide.
Prof Zoya Hasan on how disparate protest movements are converging over shared concerns about democracy and accountability, putting Modi on the backfoot.
This is how the ECI under Gyanesh is illegally filling forms to deleted voters directly from its centralised software in the name of poll officials. It is a criminal act for which Gyanesh and gang have to be punished.
Samvat 2082 will be the worst Samvat year for investors after Modi became PM, and there is little conviction that markets have found a durable bottom.
