A phone call with @PySamarth long ago discussing years of reporting and investigating how the Indian government tried to control its global image and narrative after decline in democracy rankings led to this piece in his amazing new magazine @theplankmag

Lol, Last month, Arnab along with Mr. Pai were desperately reaching out to industrialists in Bangalore to fund the Kannada Republic channel. And now Arnab is targeting @sudhirchaudhary ji for doing his job ( You know what he is paid for right). Time for 🍿 https://t.co/xE1bjOCgRU

It’s honestly gut wrenching to read whats happening in Kodagu right now. 14 tigers dead in just six months and 11 of them were cubs. Let that sink in for a second. We aren’t just losing animals; we are watching a local population collapse in real time. What makes it worse is

If the BJP were to measurably improve Delhi’s air quality, it would have bragging rights to something other than its natural talent for division. Here’s why it won’t:

This is truly what the Modi years will be remembered best for: It gave confidence to lumpen youth to walk into spaces, vandalise, threaten at will, while spouting hate and paranoia. This is in the capital, New Delhi.

Bangladesh’s creation challenged Pakistan’s claim that religion alone could define a nation. It unsettled communalists then. It’s deeply tragic to see Bangladesh today succumbing to the same radical religious forces.

I can see clips of "Arnab gives belt treatment to modi government". Really? That's all it takes for you to start promoting this guy again? Two days of screaming at the BJP? He's probably doing it because his TRP is down & he wants to attract gullible people back to his

Really gotta wonder, is there ANY public institution in the country that actually serves the people?

Terrible tragedy! But also appalled to see absolutely no coverage of the four people who died after being over by a train today morning at Krishanagar, West Bengal by a single mainstream outlet!

Stop riding elephants. Elephants are not physically designed to carry people, and to make them safe to ride, they have to undergo a process that breaks their spirits. Many of them have already lost their homes, too. https://t.co/2Hpv679R1S

First CM @NitishKumar displays utterly indecent, condemnable behaviour pulling down a woman doctor’s hijab. Now, BJP leader @girirajsinghbjp abuses the victim and all women. Deeply communal and misogynistic - shame on them. We strongly protest and condemn.
