Parakala Prabhakar backs 23 October anti-SIR marches: why the protest targets voter rolls and Election Commission accountability

Economist Parakala Prabhakar has backed the People Against SIR alliance’s 23 October protest demanding changes to voter-roll revision and the removal of CEC Gyanesh Kumar. The call raises real questions about wrongful exclusions and accountability, but protesters’ allegations are not established findings.

Cow as ‘mother’, buffalo meat as export: what a reel’s challenge to Yogi Adityanath reveals about Uttar Pradesh

A June 2026 Instagram reel questions Yogi Adityanath's remarks about cows by citing Uttar Pradesh's meat exports. Government records confirm substantial buffalo-meat trade, but not the reel's implication that exported meat comes from cows or that the Chief Minister personally directs slaughter.

The Snake and the Mice: How Promises of Safety Can Turn People Against Each Other

A Hindi fable about a snake that promises to eat only weak mice shows how selective harm and personal safety can make a community cooperate with its own destruction. Political research helps explain the real mechanisms—and limits—of this warning.

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.

The 1945 Agrani Ravana Cartoon: Godse’s Newspaper, Savarkar’s Funding and the Politics of Demonising Gandhi

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.

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. Court rulings and official records substantiate serious examples, but do not prove every charge or a single cause. The central question is how authorities and society respond when abuses occur.

Yusuf Pathan’s Vadodara land deal: Gujarat’s proposed concession after his political switch raises questions over public property

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. Her family described it as requested protection, and the Gujarat High Court later stopped an inquiry at their request. Those developments leave separate questions about surveillance powers, evidence and privacy.

India’s response to US actions in Libya in 1986 and Venezuela in 2026: What the diplomatic contrast shows

A 1986 newspaper report shows Libya seeking India's support, not India already granting it. Rajiv Gandhi later condemned US strikes on Libya; in January 2026, India expressed concern over the US operation in Venezuela without condemning Washington. The contrast raises a substantive question about how India publicly defends sovereignty.
