Why won’t PM Modi sack Manipur CM Biren Singh? 4 reasons why he won’t & 5 reasons why he must https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-r7y31YYZrs Jul 24, 2023
80 days of bloodshed, horrific crimes against women, collapse of law & order machinery in Manipur — nothing has dented PM Modi’s trust in CM Biren Singh. In this episode of #PoliticallyCorrect, ThePrint’s Political Editor DK Singh explains why
Why won’t PM Modi sack Manipur CM Biren Singh? 4 reasons why he won’t & 5 reasons why he must
five reasons why PM Modi must axe the Manipur CM.
First, if 30-40 per cent of the population — the Kukis and other tribes — doesn’t trust the CM, the situation is unlikely to change unless he goes.
Second, while the Centre seems to be waiting for the crisis to dissipate over time, there are no signs of it even after 11 weeks. Rather, it threatens to engulf other states in the Northeast.
The third reason why PM Modi must let his Manipur government go is the adverse political and electoral implications... it seems to be unmindful of its women constituency.
The fourth reason for him to act against Biren Singh is again political — its implications for the tribal votebank. Tribals constitute 8.9 per cent of India’s population and have a significant presence in the four poll-bound states where the BJP has big stakes
Last but not the least, PM Modi must sack the Biren Singh government because for once, he is not looking like the strong and decisive leader the people started voting for in 2014.

Indian freebies are working. But it’s not reducing poverty, only making people spend less https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dhR88b2B9o ThePrint Jul 25, 2023 Subsidies, freebies and government schemes are reducing how much the poor have to pay for essentials, but are doing nothing for their incomes. With growing aspirations, expect freebies to increase and become more diverse, The Print Deputy Editor TCA Sharad Raghavan argues in #StandardDeviation
Subsidies are here to stay. Worryingly, subsidy expenditure will likely increase as Indian politicians try to meet a wider set of aspirations through more diverse freebies.
TCA SHARAD RAGHAVAN https://theprint.in/opinion/standard-deviation/indian-freebies-are-working-but-its-not-reducing-poverty-only-making-people-spend-less/1683780/
25 July, 2023 t poverty alleviation is more than just providing basic essentials and leaving things at that. Yes, a roof over one’s head, access to electricity, drinking water, and cooking gas are all absolutely essential for everybody. But aspirations don’t end there....The overwhelming feeling is that the bottom half of India is not doing well at all. They’re just about getting by, and there’s very little scope for any improvement any time soon. This means subsidies are here to stay. Worryingly, it also means subsidy expenditure will likely increase as politicians try to meet a wider set of aspirations through more diverse freebies.

In India, Nine families have the wealth equivalent to 50% of Indian families. If these moneyed families are the ones giving money to political parties, then these parties will do the work for these families.. Taxes are paid by the common man, to run the government...

Aqal Ki Baat is a voluntary effort by a small group of friends to sensitize the citizens on various issues of concern. In times when national media has totally compromised and lies are propagated and repeated a 100 times, when all efforts are made to ensure that people do not question and do not think, Aqal Ki Baat is a small effort to question the one sided narrative.
Blowing Up the Crypto Cartel https://thebaffler.com/outbursts/blowing-up-the-crypto-cartel-silverman <https://thebaffler.com/outbursts/blowing-up-the-crypto-cartel-silverman
How FTX’s collapse broke an omerta by Jacob Silverman, The Baffler, July 2023
Despite claims of “decentralization,” the cryptocurrency industry is controlled by a powerful cartel of wealthy figures who, with time, have evolved to incorporate many of the same institutions tied to the existing centralized financial system they supposedly set out to replace.
As long as crypto is run by offshore operators using a parallel financial system that is only partly visible to regulators, law enforcement, and the general public, there will always be incentives for insiders to collaborate, exchange privileged information, and work to their mutual advantage.
there are many people in crypto, maybe even the bulk of participants, who are in it for honest reasons: they like the technology, they appreciate the novelty, they have libertarian ideas about the separation of the state and money, or perhaps they just want to gamble and try to get rich. But these people, the ones who actually bring much-needed fiat dollars into the system, are playing a different game. They are at a severe disadvantage, buying tokens at artificially inflated prices from venture capitalists and exchange CEOs who got them at friends-and-family discounts from their colleagues. As crypto critics like to say, these retail traders are the exit liquidity for the tech billionaires promising economic emancipation. They are the means by which the people running the cartel cash out. They are the marks. And they can’t be allowed to get away.

Role of the Hindu Right in Communalising Politics and Politicising Religion: Zoya Hasan https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eshoD-Fo5EA Indian Cultural ForumJun 19, 2019
A panel of speakers that included Romila Thapar, Kunal Chakrabarti, Zoya Hasan, and Valay Singh talked about the history of Ayodhya and more at the book launch of 'Ayodhya: City of Faith, City of Discord' in New Delhi.
Academic and political scientist Zoya Hasan talks about the politics of hindutva, how Ayodhya prepared the grounds for BJP's rise to power, how the Hindu right uses religious symbols, cultures and institutions to create a Hindu vote bank and move towards a majoritarian state, the collective failure of the political institutions of this country in resolving the Ayodhya conflict and more.
