Was Manmohan Singh judged more harshly over the rupee? The real currency crisis and what 2026 media coverage shows

A reel contrasts cartoons mocking Manmohan Singh during the 2013 rupee crisis with reporting under Modi in 2026. The old crisis was real, but India Today and Aaj Tak did cover the rupee’s later record lows.

Raids before Adani acquisitions: what the NDTV, airport, cement and Jaypee timeline proves—and what it does not

A reel links government raids against seven businesses to later Adani deals. Records confirm several investigations and acquisitions, including GVK’s Mumbai airport and Jaypee, but they do not establish that enforcement agencies acted to secure assets for Adani.

Sugar-price rise blamed on anti-Muslim plot in viral reel; evidence points to hoarding and supply pressures

The Rats in the Well: How a ‘Divide Trap’ Turns Shared Danger into Conflict

A Hindi reel tells of rats lured into a well, turned against each other and released by the farmer. Its allegory raises a real question: how can competition and manufactured hostility distract people from the conditions trapping them, and what does research say about escaping that cycle?

A Dussehra cartoon attributed to Nathuram Godse’s Agrani depicted Gandhi and other nationalist leaders as Ravana. The newspaper’s documented links to Savarkar illuminate a bitter ideological conflict, but the cartoon does not establish responsibility for Gandhi’s later murder.
