Mumbai friends, I’m hosting a book chat in Versova this Sunday evening (March 30th, 5–7pm). We’ll talk about Albert Camus—his life and his philosophy of Absurdism—with a focus on ‘The Stranger’. There’ll be some great music inspired by the book, and of course, coffee. Come by

The full story details exactly how the government executed this strategy—through internal meetings, diplomatic outreach, and even a homegrown "Democracy Index.". Read in @theplankmag. PS: Sign up for our mailing list to know when we publish.

This wasn’t about rankings anymore. It became about who controls the narrative. Who could say what. And with what authority. This story reveals a playbook—a way to understand how the Modi govt operates. Not always obvious, but clear when you step back and see the patterns.

Ministers, diplomats, and think tanks got involved. Strategies were drawn. Some of the key questions they debated:. — Can we shape how these indices are calculated?. — Who gets to decide what "democracy" even means?. — What if India had its own democracy ranking?.

Did they work on strengthening democratic institutions?. Did they push back with transparency and data?. Or did they find another way—one that had little to do with democracy itself?. @A2D2_ has been tracking this story for 4 years.
