An 18-year-old entrepreneur who has helped more than twenty thousand teenagers get skills, training and mentoring has been recognised with a global student prize. Adarsh Kumar grew up in poverty in rural Bihar and says he was inspired by wanting to solve the problems he saw around him - and the example set by his hardworking single mother. He plans to use the ten thousand dollar prize to help improve the lives of even more people - and believes the first step in changing the world is to change his home state. Also: we find out how teenagers who've been struggling with school attendance are learning important life lessons - from three year olds. The scheme pairs them with a nursery child to give them a sense of responsibility and helping others. We celebrate the winner of Fat Bear Week in Alaska - which saw tens of thousands of people around the world vote for the brown bear who'd done best at gorging on salmon and berries to prepare for winter. How new technology is helping Premier League football fans with sight problems, the jollof rice wars heat up with a record breaking dish in Nigeria, and the people spreading joy over the internet through memes. Plus an inspirational speech from a 12-year-old who wants to improve understanding about autism. Leo Bird says he's not broken, just different, and that's why his friends love him.

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.

Stalin in Bihar Sinks Tejashwi - Judges Fight over VP, Himanta Takes on Bangladesh | Omkar Chaudhary
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.

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
The Supreme Court, in an interim order on Thursday (August 14, 2025), directed the Election Commission of India (ECI) to publish a booth-wise list of nearly 65 lakh electors who were excluded from the draft electoral roll released on August 1 as part of the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) in poll-bound Bihar. A Bench of Justices Surya Kant and Joymalya Bagchi ordered that the list must specify the precise reasons for exclusion, such as death, migration, or duplicate registration. The petitioners have argued that the poll body has failed to observe the basic principles of natural justice while carrying out the exercise. They have also questioned the “hasty” manner of its implementation. What is the constitutionality of the SIR exercise, and does it risk disenfranchising voters? What are the implications of the interim order? To what extent does the order address the contentious debate over whether Aadhaar can serve as valid proof of identity and residence in the electoral process?

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.
