Kaagaz nahi dikhayenge, par kaagaz kuch kahaaniya sunaate hai. My father's first passport tells the history of how he became a citizen of a new country, and why his father refused to become Indian. My piece in #SundayEye's special issue on #RepublicDay

In 1947, a line ran through Sylhet, Assam, dividing families and creating new citizens. The burden of that history is still with us.

Over 3 months,we investigated how hospital acquired infection affects millions in India, and yet it's not a topic patients really know about, or insurance companies care about. Here's a video based on our investigation. @whatsthemahtta @raghavKakkar30

Most leading private hospitals refused to share data on their infection rates with Scroll. Patients remain in the dark, and at grave risk.

In AIIMS Kalyani, bloodstream infection rate was 23 times higher than CDC standard. RTI showed most AIIMS met once or twice a year for infection control. Why poor infection puts patients at risk, & why pvt hosps are wary of displaying their infection rates

We need to talk about hospital-acquired infections. But hospitals are unwilling. We asked 10 top private hospitals in India for their infection rate. Only one replied. AIIMS Delhi refused our RTI request. Part 2 of our must-read series @tabassum_b

The Bihari youth is fascinated with how Nepal's Gen-Z have stood up to their netas. But everyone agrees, no such politics is possible in Bihar. The reason: extreme caste division in society. As Dr Ambedkar had once said, caste means there is nothing called "society" in India.

The youth uprising in Nepal is keenly discussed in Bihar’s border regions. But caste divisions mean that it would not materially affect the elections.

Naseeruddin Shah remembers Satish Shah. Beautiful. And that ending. Sigh. @IndianExpress

From our days at the FTII to ‘Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro’ and beyond, Shah was that rare actor who made every film he was in better for it

I have lost patients. A deadly killer far worse than Covid. Underreported, ignored. Many effective control measures but like Indias traffic rules no serious compliance @tabassum_b in @scroll_in takes a deep dive.

High rises likely to pop up along Bengaluru Tunnel Road in some of the city's most sensitive (and last remaining) green zones. What an absolute disaster of a plan being pushed through by the DyCM, despite repeated warnings about its enormous cost & effects

"The Union health ministry neither maintains records nor mandates hospitals to report such infections." Unbelievable!
First in a 3 part series: How hospital acquired infections rage through Indian hospitals and patients' family have no redressal. In Pune such an infection led to Sujata's death, in Dimapur it forced little Adrianna on ventilator support https://t.co/f2mNFZ9H79 via @scroll_in
