Scroll Adda Episode #4
Punjabi, Bengali, Tamil, Kayastha, Baniya – the Indian subcontinent has more varieties of food than possibly any other place on Earth.
So much so that food writer and historian Pushpesh Pant argues it’s difficult to identify anything as “Indian food” at all.
On the fourth episode of Scroll Adda with Shoaib Daniyal, Pant speaks with erudition and humour about popular Indian food myths (did you know there’s no biryani in Lucknow?), how food intersects with identities such as caste and gender, and shares some of his favourite dishes.

On June 24, the Election Commission announced a "special intensive revision" of the electoral rolls in Bihar, ahead of the Assembly elections expected to be held in the state later this year.
As part of the exercise, persons whose names were not on the 2003 voter list will need to submit proof of eligibility to vote. Opposition parties and civil society groups have questioned the exercise, casting doubts over its timing and feasibility. They have also raised doubts about its methodology.
Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra has moved the Supreme Court to try and stop the revision.
In this interview with Moitra, she speaks about the process, calling it a way to disenfranchise voters "by design". Speaking about the conduct of the Election Commission, she says, "This is the new EC...it's no longer an EC but a branch of the BJP."

Dubbed "North Korea's Waikiki" by South Korean media, the Wonsan Kalma Coastal Tourist Area can accommodate nearly 20,000 people, according to Pyongyang, which previously described it as "a world-class cultural resort".
Kim showed a keen interest in developing North Korea's tourism industry during his early years in power, analysts have said, and the coastal resort area was a particular focus.

Scroll Adda Episode #3
India's caste system is unique. Nowhere else in the world does this system of thousands of graded endogamous groups exist.
At the top of the pyramid are the dwija savarna castes: Brahmins, Baniyas, and Kshatriyas.
Nearly two millennia of caste privilege mean that Savaranas dominate Indian society. Culture, politics, and the economy in India are Savarna-controlled.
Yet, there exists very little study of them as a group.
Enter Ambedkarite academic, Ravikant Kisana a.k.a. Buffalo Intellectuall, whose new book, "Meet the Savarnas", intends to fill the gap.
We spoke to him on Scroll Adda's third episode to try and understand why he wants to study upper castes.

- Israeli strike on seafront Gaza cafe kills 24

- Description
- Twenty four people have been killed in an Israeli strike at a popular seafront rest area in Gaza City, as fresh calls grow for a ceasefire in the war-ravaged Palestinian territory.
The Israeli army said it had ordered a review into the strike, which it says targeted militants. In a statement to AFP regarding the incident, the army said it had struck "several Hamas terrorists in the northern Gaza Strip".
The cafe and restaurant, which had so far survived more than 20 months of war and intense bombings on the Palestinian territory, had become a gathering spot for those not displaced by the conflict.
