RBI’s $51 Billion Forex Reserve Fall and $200 Billion Forward Liabilities: What the Rupee Defence Reveals

India's reserves fell $51.1 billion in four weeks to 2 October 2026, while the RBI's net forward dollar liabilities reached around $200 billion in August.

The Parrots, Two Bowls and a Cage: How Political Rivalry Can Distract from Public Accountability

A Hindi political parable shows parrots abandoning their escape to fight over red and blue food bowls. It raises a democratic question: when rival groups compare what others receive, who is holding power accountable? Research supports the risk, but not every claim of deliberate division.

Have mob violence, bulldozer demolitions and public failures become normalised in India? What the evidence shows

A viral political list names lynchings, rapists being celebrated, demolitions, disasters and restrictions on dissent under the BJP–RSS.

India Has Rivers, Land and Minerals. Why Is It Still Far Poorer per Person Than Resource-Scarce Countries?

A reel contrasts India's natural wealth with richer countries that lack farmland, water or minerals. The useful question is not whether India has 'everything', but why its resources have not yet translated into comparable productivity, incomes and public services. Evidence points to jobs, education, institutions and investment—not one simple culprit.

After a 2024 encroachment notice and years of court proceedings, Gujarat approved a proposal to gift 500 sq m of disputed Vadodara civic land to Yusuf Pathan and transfer another 478 sq m at a discount. His recent political realignment raises questions, but does not itself prove a quid pro quo; municipal approvals remain pending.

Gujarat’s 2009 surveillance controversy: What the tapes alleged, the family said and the court decided

The 2013 ‘Snoopgate’ reports alleged that Gujarat police monitored a woman in 2009 under political direction.
