Victory at the Ninth Circuit: Twitter’s Content Moderation is Not “State Action”https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2023/03/victory-ninth-circuit-twitters-content-moderation-not-state-action BY MUKUND RATHIMARCH 24, 2023
the Ninth Circuit held that Twitter did not act as the government by banning a user months after a government agency flagged for Twitter one of his tweets on alleged election fraud. O’Handley v. Weber is the latest decision rejecting social media users’ attempts to hold platforms liable for deleting, demonetizing, and otherwise moderating their content.
Twitter is a private entity, so the government and the courts cannot tell it what speech it must remove or what speech it must carry. The First Amendment restricts censorship only by the government, not private entities, unless those entities are using government power or otherwise effectively acting as the government.

Union Govt 'Has No Data' on Indians' Offshore Shell Companies – But Task Force Running Since 2017 https://thewire.in/government/union-govt-says-it-has-no-data-on-offshore-shell-companies-owned-by-indians MP Mahua Mitra pointed this out and said it was odd that the “government identified 238,223 shell companies between 2018 and 2021, without any specific definition in law.”
In its press release, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs had said that “there is no definition of the term “Shell Company” in the Companies Act and it normally refers to a company without active business operation or significant assets, which in some cases are used for illegal purpose such as tax evasion, money laundering, obscuring ownership, benami properties etc.”
In a written reply on March 21, 2023, the government said that “the data/details regarding offshore shell companies owned by Indian citizens is not available”, The Telegraph reported. “On whether it had acted to collect details of offshore shell companies whose “ultimate beneficial ownership” was held by Indian citizens, the government suggested the question of such action “does not arise” since “an offshore shell company is not defined in the acts administered by the ministry of finance”,” the newspaper stated.
Human rights body directs state govt, BMC to improve living conditions in M/East ward Pratip Acharya March 28, 2023 https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/mumbai/human-rights-body-directs-state-govt-bmc-to-improve-living-conditions-in-m-east-ward-8522494/ The Maharashtra State Human Rights Commission (MSHRC) has directed the state government and Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) to prepare a roadmap that would improve public infrastructure and existing civic amenities in the M/East ward in the eastern suburbs. “The concentration of polluting and hazardous activities, poor standards of supporting infrastructure due to lack of planning and socio-economic deprivation have resulted in high levels of mortality, morbidity and threat infectious diseases,” said the MSHRC directive.
The ward covers Govandi, Deonar, Shivaji Nagar and Cheeta Camp areas, and mainly comprises slums, LIG houses.

Rampant populism, identity politics, widespread disinformation xenophobia and Islamophobia that fuel growing far right extremist violence around the world have created one of the most complex security challenges in recent years.
The imperative now is for both honesty and political will amongst all UN member states, in order to formally accept that terrorism or violent extremism is no longer restricted to jihadist violence alone, but recognise that other factors of history and economics fuel racially and ethnically motivated extremist violence in the world. To do so would pave the way for the designation of far right groups and individuals as terrorists who perpetrate violence on the basis of ideology and identity, even if a universally acceptable definition of terrorism per se continues to remain elusive.

Review of "The Rise of the BJP: The Making of the World's Largest Political Party" by Bhupender Yadav and Ila Patnaik Josh Felman Friday, February 11, 2022
the BJP's message of cultural nationalism does resonate with a significant section of the population, giving it a compelling message to go with its superb organization and millions of devoted members. That makes the BJP a formidable vote-getting machine. No wonder it has just risen and risen. But history teaches that a relentless rise is often followed by a disastrous fall. ..
... To make sure this doesn’t happen to them, the BJP not only pays considerable attention to sustaining morale amongst its party members (as already mentioned); it also takes great care to avoid the perils of dynastic leadership.
Beyond the constant need to replenish the party with new energy, the BJP faces another challenge, one that will be even more difficult to manage: it must meet the needs of the nation. Without doubt, the BJP has found a way to satisfy what we could call 'Cultural India'. But meeting the needs of Aspirational India, the hundreds of millions of young people looking to find good jobs and raise their living standards, will be a far more difficult task.

Comment by SS -- The ruling party, by now it has become crystal clear, is hell bent to block any discussion in the parliament of the Modani scam. It's using the speech as a manufactured alibi towards that end. But, all at the same time, would try to milk it as much as possible to stir up some sort of "nationalist" hysteria as well.

Adani Group: How The World’s 3rd Richest Man Is Pulling The Largest Con In Corporate History January 24, 2023 https://hindenburgresearch.com/adani
In this report, we highlight what we believe to be one of, if not the most egregious example of corporate fraud in history. We have uncovered evidence of brazen accounting fraud, stock manipulation and money laundering at Adani, taking place over the course of decades. Adani has pulled off this gargantuan feat with the help of enablers in government and a cottage industry of international companies that facilitate these activities. These issues of corruption permeate multiple layers of government. According to numerous sources we spoke with, Indian securities regulator SEBI seems more inclined to protect the perpetrators than punish them.
