- PM CARES Fund collected thousands of crores from PSUs, Indian and foreign companies, salaries of public servants and from ordinary people. When people asked where the funds were coming from and where they were spent, the government flatly refused. Senior lawyer Prashant Bhushan joins Anjali Bhardwaj and Amrita Johri on this edition of Jaanne Bhi Do Yaaro to discuss India's most unaccountable fund and whether this is Electoral Bonds 2.0.
In March 2020, the PM CARES Fund was set up as India faced the COVID-19 crisis. The Prime Minister, Home Minister, Defence Minister, and Finance Minister were made ex-officio trustees. The fund uses the national emblem and runs on a gov.in domain. It was made eligible to receive CSR funding as it was set up by the central government. In less than one week it amassed over 3,000 crore and in one year collected more than Rs. 10,000 crore. PSUs transferred thousands of crores into it from their CSR funds. Employees across government departments...

.........................................
In an interview to explain the deep and serious concerns India’s transgender community has with the recently introduced Transgender Persons Amendment Bill, Prof. Aqsa Shaikh, Professor of Community Medicine at Jamia Hamdard University, points out that the key error the government has made in the amendment bill is to assume that gender lies between the legs of an individual whereas, in fact, it lies in the hearts and minds of individuals. As Prof. Shaikh puts it: “Gender cannot be reduced to anatomy or verified through physical examination: it is a deeply felt sense of self.”
Prof. Shaikh points out that the amendment bill, which was introduced in the Lok Sabha on the 13th of March, is “a fundamental shift that undermi...

In an interview to The Wire, Prof. Foad Izadi, Associate Professor of American Studies at Tehran University, who spoke from Tehran, says that Iran’s new supreme leader is injured and he cited reports to that effect from within Iran. Prof. Izadi also said it could be the case that BBC reports that the new supreme leader has survived a second attempt by Israel to kill him whilst he was in hospital could be correct.

- We are constantly told to do our bit for the planet. Switch off the lights, save electricity, carpool, and don't burn stubble. But in the few days of 2026 alone, while we were worrying about our carbon footprint, thousands of missiles were dropped across the Middle East. Do they not pollute the environment? Let’s look at the facts: 2023, 2024, and 2025 were the hottest years in 175 years of record-keeping. And 2026 is on track to break them all. According to the UNEP, by 2030, developing countries will need $387 billion every year to deal with climate damages. That is less than 15% of what the world spent on military budgets in 2024.
Yet, in every COP climate conference, the environmental cost of war is ignored. We talk about coal, oil, cars, and plastic—and yes, they matter. But a single day of bombing can release hundreds of thousands of tons of carbon. Entire cities are set on fire. Infrastructure is destroyed. Forests burn. And the emissions? They are never counted.

“All the premier personalities (in Iran) have been eliminated in ruthless bombardment. All the military facilities have been eliminated. There are no air defences. Luring the Gulf countries on the side of the United States does not seem like a viable option,” he said in a podcast discussion with Sidharth Bhatia. “There is nothing more dramatic to be obtained in this utterly futile conflict.”
He said that Iran was a “pragmatic state” and while its demand for reparations was “legitimate” all that would be discussed in negotiations. “As far as Israel is concerned, they enjoy the spectacle of conflict,” he said.

The report also urged the US to designate India as a “Country of Particular Concern” for the seventh consecutive year.
The Indian government, through the Ministry of External Affairs, has strongly rejected the findings, calling them biased and politically motivated. Meanwhile, the Indian National Congress has cited the report to target the RSS, escalating the political debate.
From controversial laws to arrests of activists like Umar Khalid, the report highlights multiple concerns. But will these recommendations impact India-US ties?
