Narendra Modi had once said that Indians were ‘ashamed’ of being Indians before he took over as prime minister in 2014. So here’s a list of the reasons why we were proud of being Indian before his rule.
The Indian government granted an extraordinary favour to controversial tycoon Gautam Adani, boosting his coal business, documents reveal.
The Modi government’s economic policy has often been termed, rightly, as being utterly callous towards the people, and utterly devoted to serving the interest of “cronies”. But it is “cronyism” sanctified by the idea of building up a (Hindu) “nation”.
Interview with journalists Ravi Nair and Paranjoy Guha Thakurta on the much talked about Rafale deal, the many unanswered questions related to it, the scrapping of a previous deal, and the unilateral decision of the Prime Minister in this matter. Excerpts from their interview to Frontline.
In an exhibition purporting to showcase the dynasties of medieval India, organised by the Indian Council of Historical Research last month, no Muslim ruler found mention. Experts have raised questions on the intentions of the Council.
For so many young Indian Muslims today, social media feeds have begun looking like a visitors’ diary outside a busy graveyard.
The Economic Survey claims that India has managed the past year very well in external terms, actually increasing its share of world exports. How much of this self-congratulation and optimism is actually warranted?
When Rahul Gandhi launched his offensive in Parliament, one of his main allegations was that the Modi government tweaked norms to help Adani take control of six Indian airports. The Centre had brushed aside red flags raised by the finance ministry and the Niti Aayog.
It seems that the Narendra Modi government has decided, in an election year, that general elections can be fought and won without efforts to improve the material conditions of the bulk of the people, and even simply ignoring their suffering.
A proposal to amend the IT Rules 2021 and the ban on a BBC documentary are part of a larger trend of Internet censorship, growing since 2014.
