This week, host Basant Kumar is joined by Newslaundry's Sumedha Mittal and Pratyush Deep.Sumedha talks about her report on Bihar's Special Intensive Revision (SIR). Her investigation revealed that even after this massive exercise, the ECI has conferred wrong house numbers to lakhs of voters. This, she says, creates the perfect opportunity to fill the lacunae with fake voters. After the ECI's SIR, over 1,000 voters in Bihar were grouped under a single non-existent house. Her investigation highlights that whatever mistakes were there in the electoral roll are still on the list even after the SIR.Pratyush's report highlighted Assam's 3,000-bigha land row and the controversy around it. While the story played out on social media, with claims that the land was being handed over to the Adani Group, Pratyush's report reveals that it is, in fact, Mahabal Cement that had ownership of the land.In another report from Assam, Pratyush follows the complainants behind recent FIRs against journalists, who ostensibly had links to the BJP or the RSS student wing ABVP.Tune in.Timecodes00:00:00 - Introduction00:05:06 - Loopholes in SIR00:23:30 - Illegal land allotment00:33:54 - FIRs against Journalists00:44:25 - RecommendationsRecommendationsSumedhaEP-339 | Political Pressure, TRP War, Media Credibility & Influencers vs Journalists | Kalli PuriePratyushThe Rebel Army Behind One of the World's Major Rare Earth SuppliesBasantSaare Jahan Se AcchaProduced and edited by Saif Ali Ekram, recorded by Anil Kumar.

En Inde, la coalition d'opposition affirme que les dernières élections ont été truquées. Le Parti du Congrès dit avoir identifié de nombreuses anomalies sur les listes électorales, avec de faux électeurs ajoutés pour faire pencher les scrutins en faveur du parti nationaliste hindou du Premier ministre Narendra Modi. L'opposition mène depuis dix jours une grande marche à travers l'État du Bihar pour mettre en garde les électeurs. Sous la moiteur de la mousson, des milliers de paysans en turban et de femmes en sari sont venus écouter Rahul Gandhi, le leader de l'opposition. Il harangue la foule au lancement d'une marche de 14 jours à travers le Bihar, qui compte 130 millions d'habitants : « Mes amis, dans toute l'Inde, les élections vous sont volées. Les listes électorales sont trafiquées : des électeurs fantômes y sont inscrits, d'autres en sont exclus. Le peuple du Bihar ne se laissera pas faire ! » Dans cet État, un des plus pauvres de l'Inde, les électeurs sont appelés aux urnes en octobre. Or, ici aussi, l'opposition redoute des fraudes, alors que le pouvoir central a décidé de mettre à jour les listes électorales du Bihar. Rupam Yadav, professeure dans la capitale Patna, est venue saluer le cortège de l'opposition : « Des travailleurs pauvres, des migrants qui vivent ailleurs mais votent ici, sont radiés des listes électorales en priorité. Pourquoi ? Parce que le pouvoir sait que les plus démunis ne peuvent faire valoir leurs droits et soutiennent en majorité l'opposition. » Ceux qui s'estiment injustement radiés ont jusqu'au 1er septembre pour se signaler. C'est trop peu, juge l'opposition, alors que 30% des habitants du Bihar sont analphabètes. Sur le chemin de la marche, certains nous font part de leur fatalisme, comme ce vendeur de 84 ans : « Oui, les élections sont manipulées par le pouvoir. Mais beaucoup de partis, une fois élus, se sont livrés à des fraudes. » À lire aussiInde: le Parti du Congrès présente des «preuves» du trucage des élections D'autres, comme cet agriculteur, sont préoccupés par la situation économique : « Le problème du Bihar, c'est le chômage. À cause de cela, nos jeunes quittent la région. La priorité est d'ouvrir des usines ! » Le défi est pour l'opposition de convaincre une population parfois résignée face aux fraudes politiques. Achala Singh, ex-candidate du Parti du Congrès au Bihar, se dit optimiste : « ​​​​​​​C'est justement pour convaincre les électeurs défavorisés que Rahul Gandhi a choisi de marcher dans le Bihar. Et les foules qui viennent voir ses discours montrent qu'ils se sentent concernés par son message de défense de la démocratie. » La Commission électorale, de son côté, assure que les élections en Inde sont équitables et transparentes. Son incapacité à fournir des réponses précises aux accusations de l'opposition nourrit cependant le succès de la marche, qui prendra fin le 1er septembre.

Careers of Rahul Gandhi and Tejaswi will end after Bihar Election | What are Modi Plans? | Abhishek

First, we talk to The Indian Express' National Legal Editor Apurva Vishwanath about a new bill that was introduced by Union Home Minister Amit Shah in the Lok Sabha last week which seeks to remove a Central or State Minister who is facing allegations of corruption or serious offences and has been detained for at least 30 days.Next, we talk to The Indian Express' Vineet Bhalla about the Supreme Court's new order on the issue of stray dogs in Delhi NCR. The order that was released on 11th August faced a massive backlash from animal welfare groups and general public, as a result another fresh order with new conditions was released last week.Lastly, we talk about the identification of a Pakistani woman who has been residing in India since the last seven decades. The fact came out during the Special Intensive Revision happening in Bihar. Hosted by Niharika NandaProduced and written by Niharika Nanda and Shashank Bhargava Edited and mixed by Suresh Pawar

Story of FIR on Rahul Gandhi? | PM/CM Bill Has a Secret Modi Strategy? | Bihar Election Analysis

In this episode, Divya speaks with Sean Fox and Gregory Randolph about urbanization and how it is unfolding amid global shocks and affecting inequality. Sean Fox is a Professor of Geography and Global Development at the University of Bristol. His research focuses on the causes and consequences of global urbanization, the political economy of urban governance, and sustainable city futures. Gregory Randolph is an Assistant Professor in the School of City and Regional Planning at Georgia Tech. His work focuses on how local economies and urbanization patterns are being reshaped by 21st-century transitions namely technological, energy and demographic transitions, with a particular focus on inequality. Together, Sean and Gregory offer rich interdisciplinary insights that challenge conventional understandings of urbanization, showing that urbanization is not just about the growth of cities or a straightforward shift from rural to urban. Rather, it's a geo-demographic transformation that is deeply embedded in political, social, and economic processes. The conversation also sheds light on the hidden stories of urbanization in the global south for example, the stories of migration in the indian state of Bihar where Gregory has been working, deindustrialization, regional divergence, and the hollowing out of labor markets and how these processes contribute to interpersonal and inter-place inequalities. This episode was recorded at a time when massive wildfires in Los Angeles were making headlines everywhere, prompting a timely question for our guests: What should planners be thinking about as they rebuild cities after disasters? Both Sean and Gregory voiced serious concern about the increasing frequency and scale of natural disasters and how such events are amplifying pre-existing inequalities. They emphasized that recovery and rebuilding cannot be the task of planners alone. It must also be a political project—one that demands bold, inclusive, and forward-thinking political leadership committed to building cities that account for vulnerability, address structural inequalities, and prioritize resilience for all. Sean and Gregory are both compelling storytellers, and their work offers a grounded and timely lens on how urbanization is evolving in a world marked by rising uncertainties and deepening inequalities, and I am extremely grateful to have had the opportunity to engage with them and their brilliant & relevant scholarship   References:  Fox, S., & Goodfellow, T.

Impeachment Politics Rahul Gandhi - But he will go to Jail First? | SIR in Bihar | Direct ActionDay

In a season of Stillness, but I'm still here. ❤️‍

This week on Hafta, Newslaundry's Abhinandan Sekhri, Manisha Pande, and Jayashree Arunachalam are joined by Priya Sahgal, editorial director at NewsX, Jasmine Damkewala, advocate on record in the Supreme Court, and senior journalist Hridayesh Joshi.The episode opens with a discussion on the opposition's protest against the special intensive revision (SIR) exercise in Bihar. Priya states that when the opposition sets aside its differences, it can make an impact. “The fact that everybody came together, even the AAP, even though they're not part of the India Block itself, also showed there is unity. When the opposition comes in full strength, they can make an impact and a difference,” she says. Referring to Rahul Gandhi's press conference on alleged voter fraud, Manisha notes how it is unusual for a political party to assume the role traditionally played by the media. “However journalistically sound it may be or not be, it's still striking that political parties today also have to do the media's job of starting a narrative through such investigations, because very few organisations have actually invested time in looking into this issue and the related complaints.”The conversation then shifts to the Supreme Court's order to remove stray dogs from Delhi's streets. Jasmine Damkewala notes that the dog population surged during the pandemic, when government-led sterilisation drives came to a halt. “Especially during COVID, no sterilisations were happening, or very little… The thing is, the state government is not really doing sterilisations. They do very little, and for that, too, they send the dogs to NGOs and pay them for it.” Manisha adds that the court's solution seems unworkable as there aren't enough shelters to house the dogs. “This is Delhi – we haven't even figured out shelters for humans during extreme heat waves or extreme cold waves,” she says.Abhinandan agrees and says, “For the Supreme Court to pass an order that is unimplementable is ridiculous. We have to acknowledge there's a problem, but this is certainly not the solution.”For the discussion on the Uttarakhand disaster, Hridayesh joins from ground zero. He recounts his journey to the site of the tragedy, despite being denied permission by the local authorities. He also discussed the current situation at Dharali, the village most affected by the flood. Check out the Newslaundry store and flaunt your love for independent media.

The way this massive exercise is being carried out, he says, is burdening the state's people who are forced to prove their citizenship, creating a panic-like situation.Anmol talks about his report on the chaos that unfolded after a piece of onion was found in a meal served to the Kanwariyas at the Baba Balaknath Dhaba in Muzaffarnagar, which triggered ​​vandalism of the dhaba, resulting in smashed chairs, tables, fridges, fans, and glass panels by the mob. The owner claimed that the Kanwariyas not only vandalised the dhaba but also brutally attacked their staff with hockey sticks, with a 40-year-old staff member ending up with a broken leg.Tune in.Timecodes00:00:00 - Introduction00:01:26 - SIR in Bihar00:21:28 - Kanwariyas and Chaos00:35:56 - RecommendationsRecommendationsAnmol PritamUttarakhand : Hindu Rashtra की टेस्ट लैब बनती देवभूमि | Ground ReportBasant KumarThe RSS Does Not Exist Mapping the hidden structure of an unaccountable organisationProduced and edited by Saif Ali Ekram, recorded by Anil Kumar.

NL TeamThis week, host Sumedha Mittal is joined by The Caravan's Sunil Kashyap, and Jatinder Kaur Tur. Jatinder reports from Kashmir, where three bodies of locals who were in police detention surfaced in the Veshaw River. Following the Pahalgam terror attack, Kashmiris felt being suspected and criminalised. Amid rampant arrests and deaths, families like that of Nazir Ahmad Magray – whose 20-year-old son was taken in a night raid by the Jammu and Kashmir Police's Special Operations Group – have been left shattered.“We are talking about three brothers [and one man] who went missing and there was no believable story from the police.
