Primer on wealth inequality https://www.cenfa.org/primer-on-wealth-inequality-in-india/
it is after the global financial crisis of the late 2000s, subsequent shifts in academic discussions, and movements such as Occupy Wall Street that the rise in inequality gained greater attention in academic, policy, and public discourse. The Covid-19 pandemic further exposed the depravity of the economic order that works perfectly well for the top 1 per cent while the rest are one shock away from severe deprivation.
Inequality in India is striking in terms of its absolute magnitude and the distinct ways that it interacts with its social structures. The Indian case of high and rising inequality is compounded by the overwhelming numbers of the poor and hungry amongst its population.

BJP most important foreign political party in world: WSJ March 21, 2023 https://www.rediff.com/news/report/bjp-most-important-foreign-political-party-in-world-wsj/20230321.htm An opinion piece in the influential Wall Street Journal has described the Bharatiya Janata Party as the most important foreign political party in the world for America's national interests and the "linchpin" of the US strategy in the Indo-Pacific amidst China's increasing assertiveness in the region... Walter Russell Mead, a leading American academic, commented added that the party combines the most striking principles of three major political entities in the world -- the Likud Party of Israel, the Communist Party of China and the Muslim Brotherhood of Egypt...
The BJP's electoral dominance reflects the success of a "once obscure and marginal social movement of national renewal based on efforts by generations of social thinkers and activists to chart a distinctively Hindu path to modernisation", ..From a fringe of mostly marginalised intellectuals and religious enthusiasts, the RSS has become perhaps the most powerful civil-society organisation in the world,.. I did get the impression that the leadership of a once-marginalised movement wants to position itself as the natural establishment of a rising power and is looking to engage deeply and fruitfully with the outside world without losing touch with its social and political base,

NCLAT reserves verdict on Google appeal against ₹1,337 crore CCI penalty for anti-competitive practices in Android market Prashant Jha 20th Mar, 2023 https://www.barandbench.com/amp/story/news/litigation/nclat-reserves-verdict-on-google-appeal-against-1337-crore-cci-penalty-for-anti-competitive-practices-in-android-market
Arguments for Google LLC Google LLC argued that CCI's order suffers from confirmation bias and is based on a similar order from the European Commission (EC) in 2018. It was stated that the company's agreements do not prevent equipment manufacturers from pre-installing competing apps with similar functionality.
Arguments for CCI ASG Venkataraman said that Google's policies in India can be summed up in five phrases: digital feudalism, digital slavery, technological captivity, chokepoint capitalism and consumer exploitation. He argued that the companies that did not sign Google's contract have gone extinct. NCLAT was told that all these agreements are linked to one another, and cannot be signed independently. It was stated that Google abused its dominant position in the Android Operating System (OS) market to indulge in unfair trade practices by restricting entry of other applications in its Play Store.

Afterwaves of Covid-19. Is economic distress causing a spike in suicide deaths in India? BY PARVATHI BENU March 20, 2023 - https://www.thehindubusinessline.com/data-stories/deep-dive/is-economic-distress-causing-a-spike-in-suicide-deaths-in-india/article66635113.ece
The suicide rate jumped to 11.3 in 2020 and was at a record high at 12 in 2021
But there has been a jump in suicides during the pandemic. The NCRB recorded 1.5 lakh suicide deaths in 2020, against 1.39 lakh in 2019. Between 2020 and 2021, too, there was a 7.1 per cent increase. In 2021, 1.64 lakh people took their own lives, according to the NCRB.
The jump in the number of suicides in 2020 and 2021, according to mental health experts, is clearly the after-effect of the pandemic and the financial stress that it brought along. “In 2020, during the lockdown, when you had a real financial crisis, the number of suicides, too, shot through the roof,” said Soumitra Pathare, consultant psychiatrist and director at the Centre for Mental Health Law and Policy, Indian Law Society, Pune.
Daily wage labourers and housewives combined, form close to 40 per cent of people who died by suicide in 2021. Also, the National Family Health Survey points out that domestic abuse is still a very common thing in India. “Many times, a landless female farmer is mentioned as a housewife. The same happens with a female daily wager, too.

All the workers are requested not to make light comments for the woman who does not care about big and small, especially for a woman MP from Bengal who is a victim of perverted mentality and my perverted legislature of Jharkhand. Society has given respect to Vaishali's city bride in its religion.
'Journalists should not accept awards from govts they critique': P Sainath declines AP government award https://www.indiatoday.in/india/story/maharashtra-bjp-mp-gopal-shetty-compares-farmers-suicide-to-fashion-trend-sparks-row-309345-2016-02-18 08 Jul, 2021
Explaining why in a series of tweets, Sainath said that journalists should not accept awards from governments they cover or critique as they are "external auditors to the government". Sainath told Newslaundry that his declining of the award should not be perceived as a comment against any specific government. “It is a personally evolved professional principle and I do not impose it on others,” he said. “I am not saying that everyone who accepts a government award will sing to its tune, but there is a certain ethical framework of protocol that I want to keep for myself.”
Sainath refuses Padma Shri https://www.hindustantimes.com/delhi/sainath-refuses-padma-shri/story-2alQHsika2dtlQdROnfjWN.html Jan 30, 2009
Eminent journalist P Sainath, Rural Affairs Editor, The Hind, reportedly declined to be listed for a Padma award this year. In his journalistic career of 28 years, Sainath, who has received over 35 awards and fellowships, both national and international, including the ‘Asian Nobel’, the Magsaysay Award, in 2007, has noticeably not accepted a single government or state award.
