- A delegation of activists, civil society members and Opposition representatives on Monday, 28 September, submitted an intimation to the Delhi Police for a protest at Jantar Mantar on 2 October, Gandhi Jayanti.
The proposed demonstration seeks action against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over what organisers allege are irregularities in the electoral process and electoral rolls.
The six-member delegation included AISA president Neha Bora, activist Yogendra Yadav, senior advocate Prashant Bhushan, social activist Nikhil Dey, academic Nandita Narain and RJD MP Manoj Jha.
The organisers said the protest was being held “in defence of India’s democratic integrity” and urged citizens to participate. They also criticised what they described as restrictions on spaces for public protest and said they had followed the due procedure in submitting the intimation to the police.

- In week in Cracknomics, we connect the dots behind India’s biggest economic paradoxes. Foreign investors are pulling record money out of Indian markets—net FDI collapsed from $44 billion in FY21 to under $1 billion, even as gross inflows hit a record $94.8 billion. Economists C.P. Chandrasekhar and Jayati Ghosh argue foreign capital is overrated: Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam and China became capital exporters, not dependents. Meanwhile, India’s human capital lags—ranked 104th by the World Bank—and 25% of youth in 250 districts are neither in education nor employment. Even the stock market’s 2,370-day bull run is a paradox: Nifty gained just 15.58% in three years while SBI FD gave 21.34%; 40% of stocks lost money. We explain why FD is beating equities, why Sensex stays up, and what this means for India’s growth story.

.......................................
I know that former foreign secretaries and former army chiefs have written novels but my guest is the first former Head of R&AW to do so. The book is called Our Kind of Games. Set in Kashmir, it’s the story of Ranjit Soni, the Head of IB in the territory, as well as about Kashmir itself and its impact on Soni. Dulat says 50 percent of Soni is modelled on himself.
In the book Kashmir emerges as a tragic place and Soni as an IB officer who becomes disillusioned with his job. Everyone who helps Soni dies. As Dulat puts it: “Working with Ranjit Soni was lethal. Being useful to him was fatal. Trusting him was suicide.”
The book ends with Ranjit Soni’s break down and he is replaced by an inte...

- PM Modi would have been told about the mess in Election Commission: Former CEC S. Y. Quraishi, former EC Ashok Lavasa and National Convener of Bharat Jodo Abhiyaan, Yogendra Yadav, to Karan Thapar for The Wire.
.......................................
Today we focus on the Indian Express expose of the functioning of the Election Commission. It raises fundamental issues. Was the Commission functioning as a one man operation? How much of this was known to the Modi government? Should the SIR exercise be scrapped and reversed? Did Election Commissioners Sandhu and Joshi do everything they could have or did they fall short? And is it time for Gyanesh Kumar to resign as Chief Election Commissioner? Those are some of the issues I shall raise with my guests. They are former Chief Election Commissioner S. Y. Quraishi, former Election Commissioner Ashok Lavasa and the National Convener of the Bharat Jodo Abhiyaan, Yogendra Yadav.

- India is Welcoming Huge Data Centres With Incentives But What Do the People Get Out of it?

- Description
- There is competition among Indian states to welcome multi-billion dollar data centres with subsidies, tax holidays and electricity grid and water priorities. But does this translate into jobs, or some other form of social service payments for the local communities. “No one is looking into that,” says Sharmila Chavaly, a former civil servant and an expert on infrastructure projects.
“All we are looking at is, how can I incentivise a data centre to be set up in my state? We are not looking at what are the commitments we can get for this, because when we give, say, a tax holiday for 20 to 30 years, when we give them grid connection priority, etc., we need to look at certain commitments from them,” she said to Sidharth Bhatia in a podcast discussion.
Data centres require a lot of electricity and water to cool down the equipment, resources that may be scarce in many areas. In Vishakapatnam, locals and environmental activists have protested against the 16 b...
