Fine analysis by @sinhadipa on consumption inequality. "While 50% of hh in the lowest fractile (0-5%) hh on an average consume less than 80% of the required norm, it is very low in the case of the uppermost fractile (95-100%).".

Thanks @louisetillin for the extraordinary scholarship. I strongly recommend the book to anyone interested in India's welfare regime, welfare as a scaffolding of capital, citizenship & rights. Thanks to @NLSIUofficial & @AninditaAdhik13 for being a partner in the discussion.
Thank you @readingkafka - I thoroughly enjoyed the discussion too. Nice to know that you were there!.

For all those who say inequality has reduced, read this clear explainer by this fine journalist @ieuditmisra . Trust credible data.
India is nowhere close to being the "4th most equal country in the world". To the contrary, it might even be one of the most unequal. #BillionaireRaj. Read this "Explained Economics" piece by @ieuditmisra & don't let propaganda fool you. Short thread with main issues at hand.

This demonstrates that introducing needless tech is just a ruse to kill a public programme leading to increased informalisation, increased migration & reduced citizenship.
3-yrs after making digital attendance system for Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS) mandatory, the govt now wants a 4-layer analog monitoring as it discovers many holes in the attendance platform. I report

The essay draws upon the social history of football in India, its colonial roots and tries to interrogate the citizenship of football fandom in India during World Cups. Here is the Abstract of our essay. DM for the chapter.

Happy to share that the book with my essay with @sayandeb “Fragmented Fraternity and Football Fanship in India. " is out. We posit the idea of “fanship”, an imagined citizenship of India during world cups & what it means in a country in the throes of hypernationalism.

Interestingly, in the Hindi heartland, every Aadhaar card says "Mera Aadhaar meri pehchaan" -- Will this line be changed now to "Mera Aadhaar nahin pehchaan"?.
Aadhaar promised you the moon. All it could deliver was moonshine.

Read this clear explainer by @clifroz & a call to listen to stop land acquisition by the K'Taka govt.
The CM Mr.Siddaramaiah has been claiming that there are legal hurdles to drop land acquisition in #Devanahalli. Adv @clifroz busts that claim. Agriculture is already in crisis. Here though farmers want to continue farming. State must drop this acquisition.

Many congratulations @TheReader_47 for this much needed work to understand the times we are living in. I will read it meticulously & with much care. Thanks so much for writing this.
All books are a journey for the author, but some become a form of pilgrimage. What began as a course on religion in India for a bunch of interdisciplinary undergraduates in India turned into this Oxford India Short Introduction. Available in bookstores a few weeks from now
