From @TanushreePande 's explosive revelations during the Hathras case,Greeshma Kuthar's on Manipur, Poonam Agarwal on EVMs, Sukanya Shantha on Indian Prisons, Neha Dixit on illegal child trafficking, Jatinder Kaur on corruption in the military to finally @RitikaChopra__ 's EC exposé, i tip my hat to the fearless women investigate journalists in this country who routinely slay dragons after their morning tea. Kudos to all of you

The whole world should be paying attention to what is happening in India right now. Computer programs have been used to systematically remove huge numbers of voters from the electoral rolls. But India's Gen Z has cottoned on and the tide is turning...
Bengal is a dangerous example of how democracy was turned on its head. Of the total deleted/removed voters that appealed, 91% of them were restored on the voters list. But state election was over by then and BJP grabbed power. The Supreme Court aided this power grabbing.
How will anything change in the system if your vote doesn’t matter?

I spoke to @platformag about The Missing Piece and what it means to write about the small towns and mohallas that claim me long after I've moved away. Read the interview here: platform-mag.com/literature/…

If we could prioritise one thing to improve tourism in India, it would be clean, safe toilets for women.

We examined the past and discovered that it was tethered to the present. We also discussed memory and the traumas that emerge from its depths. With @Parulsharma, @Kulpreetyadav, @ranbirsidhu and Ranbir Sidhu @BlrLitFest.
Met a young writer at the Bangalore Lit Fest who writes for children. She’s self-published her first book and is now looking for a publisher. Can anyone connect her with children’s lit publishers? Please tag or DM me! Thanks, kind people.

As someone who has been attending Jashn e Rekhta since its first edition, I’ve always admired how it set the gold standard for celebrating Urdu — its language, literature, culture, and heritage. However, this year felt noticeably different.
Thread…for @JashneRekhta #jashnerekhta

I’m looking at my Spotify wrapped. I wonder what sort of hurt I must’ve been nursing when I listened to Himesh advising me that tera pyaar pyaar pyaar is in fact hookah bar.

The first time I noticed Gukesh was here, the quieter one, always absorbing the class with remarkable focus. And then there was Pragg, by far the most restless kid, bursting with energy, who couldn't stop blurting out the answers. I remember Rakshita Ravi being there too. In the far end, is that Leon? Perhaps, the seeds of WACA were sown here.
