Journalism in India is under assault https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/05/03/india-journalists-under-attack/ May 3, 2024
.. I looked at the Committee to Protect Journalists database, the number of journalists killed in connection with their work in India. In the decade this government has been in power, 19 have been killed. And in the previous decade, before this government came in, it was 10, which was bad enough. ..
And even worse, India figures in the Global Impunity Index. Journalists are killed in connection with their work — targeted and murdered. Those who cover corruption, crime, politics, human rights. And there is impunity for the killers. The killers are not arrested in several cases, or when they are arrested, they are let out on bail and the case is not resolved. So we have been a founding and permanent member of this club of shame.
...: I don’t think it’s irreversible. It’s deep damage, no question about it, because it’s also in educational institutions and the judiciary. There are judges who make no secret of their affiliation with the BJP or indeed the RSS [a right-wing paramilitary group of Hindu nationalists]. So it’s deep damage. But irreversible? No. I think things change quickly. Realities on the ground quickly change. So all this gives me hope.

Rakesh Sharma aims to show how Modi's image is being whitewashed. Sumana Ramanan Mar 10, 2014
Many of these short films contain speeches that Modi delivered after the carnage, including during his Gaurav Yatra and campaigning for the state election several months after the 2002 anti-Muslim pogrom. Many of these speeches are no longer available online, Sharma said.
Sharma will also release six more clips this week and six the next week, containing more speeches as well as portions of his new film on Gujarat in the decade after the carnage. The short films are all less than 15 minutes long. Click here http://www.youtube.com/user/rakeshfilms?feature=watch , to watch them.

https://thewire.in/tech/one-step-forwards-two-steps-back-whatsapps-use-in-indian-elections
India has an estimated 760 million ‘active’ internet users[2], accessing the internet more than once a month. 400 million of those are active on WhatsApp – the messaging platform’s largest user base.[3] Several million others use alternative platforms like Facebook Messenger, Telegram and Signal. According to a study by the Reuters Institute, WhatsApp is the second largest, and Telegram is the fifth largest online platform for Indians to access news.[4] Flying under the radar of election authorities, media regulators and policymakers, these messaging platforms have now become a core feature of electoral communications and media in India.
Given its reach and popularity of use, it’s no surprise that political parties, candidates, campaign management firms and the plethora of other actors involved in understanding and winning over the Indian electorate have adapted their strategies to utilise WhatsApp’s potential for elections. Unsurprisingly, this has led to several familiar concerns around electoral media now being reflected in the use of messaging platforms – disinformation and hate speech are rampant, while the grey-market of personal information fuels targeted propaganda.

'Women's Commission Should Be Locked' | Swati Maliwal Slams Delhi L-G | 223 DWC Employees Sacked
‘आपका सोना, मंगलसूत्र कौन छीन रहा है? RBI डेटा के हिसाब से यह मोदी हैं’ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9KBtm2AOTY May 2, 2024
प्रधानमंत्री नरेंद्र मोदी का झूठ कि कांग्रेस पार्टी का चुनावी घोषणापत्र लोगों के सोने के गहने, महिलाओं के मंगलसूत्र को हड़पने और इसे धार्मिक अल्पसंख्यकों को देने का वादा करता है, पूरी तरह से घृणित, खतरनाक और नैतिक रूप से लापरवाह है. मोदी का दावा न केवल घृणित है बल्कि एक ‘सुनहरी विडंबना’ भी है. आंकड़ों की मानें तो मोदी के कार्यकाल में ही भारतीय परिवारों को सबसे ज्यादा अपना सोना गिरवी रखना पड़ा है. स्पष्ट रूप से कहें तो, यह मोदी ही हैं जिन्होंने वास्तव में महिलाओं के मंगलसूत्र और परिवारों का सोना छीना है.
‘Top 1 percent will be affected by wealth redistribution’: Economist and prof R Ramakumar newslaundry May 1, 2024
Wealth distribution and inheritance tax have become the talking points in the ongoing Lok Sabha election. Following statements made by Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Sam Pitroda, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP have warned of “wealth confiscation” by the Congress if it comes to power in the Centre.
India previously had wealth and death taxes from 1951 to 1986, aimed at curbing wealth concentration. Many argue that such taxes result in equitable resource allocation and ease the overall burden on citizens due to tax high payments to the government.
In this interview, The New Minute’s Pooja Prasanna speaks to economist and professor R Ramakumar on wealth redistribution and inheritance tax. He says “fear-mongering” by the BJP has hindered nuanced discussions and that it’s vital to assess these measures objectively, considering their capacity to address socioeconomic disparities.

223 employees dismissed from Delhi Women Commission on the orders of Delhi LG, understand what is the whole matter https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umhxGX5Me48 NDTV Indi a2 May 2024 It is alleged that the then chairperson of Delhi Women Commission, Swati Maliwal, had appointed her without permission, going against the rules. The order has cited the DCW Act, which states that only 40 posts are sanctioned in the commission and the DCW does not have the authority to appoint employees on contract. In this order issued by the Additional Director of DCW Department, it has also been said that before the new appointments, no evaluation of the essential posts was done nor was permission taken for additional financial burden.
Can Ladakh Embrace Tourism While Protecting Its Fragile Ecosystem? https://www.outlooktraveller.com/destinations/india/can-ladakh-embrace-tourism-while-protecting-its-fragile-ecosystem Kunzang Deachen of Local Futures & Ashish Kothari
Ladakh's tourism has boomed in recent decades but faces challenges like waste and environmental damage. Locals are pushing for responsible tourism practices to preserve Ladakh's unique culture and ecosystem
On the 50th anniversary of Ladakh being opened of tourism, several local civil society and tour operator organisations are discussing the pros and cons of what has become an exploding sector (from 500-odd tourists in 1974 to over 500,000 now).
. The entry of a commercial, competitive, and individualistic mindset that was relatively rare in Ladakhi has begun to displace aspects of traditional life crucial to well-being, such as the economy and social life centred around the gift economy and self-sustainability.
Several civil society and trade association groups have already demonstrated the possibilities of responsible tourism in Ladakh. Amongst the earliest of these was the innovation of homestays,
The NGO Local Futures has focused on preserving local food systems and protecting related traditional practices through activities like hosting workshops and dialogues on food, farming and traditional knowledge to promote more responsible tourism and produce short films on the significant issues facing Ladakh today. The Ladakh Art and Media Organisation (LAMO) holds art exhibitions, residencies, festivals, workshops, music performances, film screenings, and other activities and events featuring artists from Ladakh and worldwide. In collaboration with the Himalayan Cultural Heritage Foundation (HCHF), it documents cultural practices and historical sites along Nubra Valley's silk route and proposes measures for more sustainable tourism there.
Other initiatives include Ladakh Environment and Health Organisation (LEHO) 's Ladakh Ecotourism, Thinlas Chorol's Ladakhi Women's Travel Company, Tsetan Dolma's De Khambir as a restaurant specialising in local cuisine, Soljacafé started by Spalzes Angmo, Dolkhar & Lchang-nang establishments promoting locally inspired architecture, cuisines, and cultural experiences, and enterprises like Ladakhi Basket, Siachen Naturals, NimaGoosGoos, Organix Ladakh and Reetsot.
Hotel Association president Skarma Tsering Dehlex spoke of the norms that hoteliers have set for themselves, e.g. only Ladakhis are allowed to set up hotels, and no one is allowed more than 35 rooms. The taxi association has resolved that no one should own more than 2-3 vehicles and that it will oppose the entry of companies like Ola and Uber.
The Need For Paradigm Shifts
Tourism cannot be seen in isolation from the economic, political and socio-cultural transformations Ladakh is facing. While it was a district within J&K state, there was already a feeling of neglect and alienation. Since it became a Union Territory in 2019, this has increased since most decision-making is happening at the best of the central government. The way New Delhi looks at this region is how it has looked at India as a whole: promoting a model of development based on unending economic growth, mega-infrastructure, and meeting consumerist demand with no consideration of impacts and supply-side constraints (including environmental). Its hold on Ladakhi policies and programmes is vice-like, with little genuine attempt to provide a meaningful voice to Ladakhis themselves.
