Prince Manvendra Singh Gohil risked everything when he faced his parents and society He was next in line to a centuries-old royal dynasty in the Indian state of Gujarat - and grew up in the 1970s in a gilded cage. His family's desire to keep his blue blood away from what they called ‘commoners' meant that, growing up, he missed out on formative experiences like making friends. After a failed marriage to a princess, Manvendra finally shed his royal cocoon and was determined to break out and explore the world, and his sexuality. With the help of his new friend Ashok, a gay rights activist, the prince began a process of self-acceptance that would be put to the ultimate test.

Le 1er décembre, l'Inde a pris pour un an la présidence du G20. C'est une fierté pour ce pays émergent, que le gouvernement de Narendra Modi veut également utiliser pour promouvoir sa version de l'histoire au service de sa propre idéologie nationaliste. L'un des slogans mis en avant est en effet que l'Inde est la « mère de la démocratie ». Une affirmation contestée par beaucoup d'historiens indiens et qui dénote avec les atteintes portées aux droits démocratiques dans le pays. Avec notre correspondant à New Delhi,  On voit sur une vidéo de promotion du gouvernement indien le Premier ministre, Narendra Modi, prendre symboliquement le bâton de la présidence du G20 – ce groupe des 20 pays les plus industrialisés, devenu de plus en plus important sur la scène mondiale – au nom de l'Inde. Ce pays y est décrit comme « la mère de la démocratie ». On retrouve cette appellation à de nombreuses reprises dans la communication indienne. Elle est justifiée par New Delhi, en s'appuyant sur un livre qui vient d'être publié par le Conseil indien de la recherche historique, sous la coordination de son secrétaire, le professeur Umesh Ashok Kadam. « Des éléments de démocratie sont présents en Inde de manière continue depuis l'époque védique, soit plus d'un millénaire avant notre ère. Mais cela n'a pas été compris par les colons. Ils ont exclu les textes religieux, qu'ils considéraient comme des textes épiques et non de l'histoire, alors que ces écrits montrent qu'il y avait des conseils de village où toute la communauté participait », explique ce dernier.  ► À lire aussi : Inde : les laissés-pour-compte du « modèle du Gujarat » « Réécrire l'histoire de manière glorieuse dans le but d'inspirer les générations futures » Ce sont les mots du ministre de l'Intérieur, lors d'une déclaration récente, et c'est dans ce sens que travaille ce centre de recherche public. Avec un risque : celui de tordre la réalité. Car ces conclusions sont contestées par beaucoup d'historiens indiens, comme Mahalakshmi Ramakrishnan, professeure d'histoire ancienne à l'université Jawaharlal Nehru.  « Il est connu qu'au Xe siècle, un village du Tamil Nadou organisait l'élection d'un conseil de représentants. Mais c'est un village de brahmanes, les élites et prêtres locaux. Ce n'est même pas au niveau régional, et encore moins généralisé à la société indienne. Ce n'est donc pas la même chose que de parler de démocratie telle qu'on la perçoit aujourd'hui », rectifie la chercheuse.  Cet exemple dévoile notamment à quel point, pour les nationalistes hindous au pouvoir, l'histoire est un outil politique qui peut être remodelé pour servir leur idéologie. C'est l'analyse Nilanjan Mukhopadhyay, écrivain spécialisé dans le mouvement nationaliste hindou : Ces gens ont une vision qui place les hindous au centre de l'Histoire. Ils modifient le passé pour démontrer que les musulmans sont des étrangers et des traîtres dans ce pays, et s'en servent pour glorifier l'histoire hindoue. Pour ce faire, ils utilisent les textes mythologiques comme preuves historiques. Par ce slogan, l'inde se targue aussi d'être un modèle de démocratie. Or depuis huit ans que Narendra Modi est au pouvoir, les arrestations d'opposants au régime ont explosé et les journalistes sont poursuivis pour leurs écrits, ce qui indiquerait plutôt un déclin de la pratique démocratique en Inde. ► À lire aussi : Inde : le BJP de Narendra Modi remporte une victoire écrasante dans le Gujarat

This past week, voters in the state of Gujarat went to the polls to select the 182 newest members of the state assembly. While the votes will be counted on December 8, there is an aura of inevitability around the result; journalists, pundits, and polls all point toward a decisive victory by the incumbent Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of Narendra Modi. But this year's contest is not without its fair share of intrigue. In what has traditionally been a two-party contest between the BJP and the Congress Party, this year Gujarat features an ambitious new entrant in the form of the Aam Aadmi Party.To talk more about this year's election and what it signifies, Milan is joined on the show this week by the journalist Mahesh Langa. Mahesh is a veteran journalist who currently serves as the Gujarat correspondent for the Hindu. He previously covered the state for the Hindustan Times. The two discuss the significance of the 2022 race, AAP's pitch to voters, and the Congress' listless campaign. Plus, the two discuss the enduring legacy of the 2002 riots and the salience of the “Gujarat Model.” Mahesh Langa, “Modest turnout of 59.11% registered in the second phase of Gujarat Assembly elections,” Hindu, December 5, 2022.Mahesh Langa, “Congress views terrorism from prism of vote bank, says PM Modi,” Hindu, November 27, 2022.Nistula Hebbar and Mahesh Langa, “With two Opposition firebrands of 2017 now in BJP camp, election loses its spark,” Hindu, November 23, 2022.

The European Union wants India as a strategic ally. And India loves the positive attention it's getting from Europe. Both sides are trying to speed up a long stalled-trade agreement amid steadily tightening relations. But that only serves to magnify a glaring double standard in EU foreign policy. While the EU openly criticises China for abusing its the mostly Muslim Uyghur population, the EU turns a blind eye to the way India treats its own Muslim minority. The problems run deeper still. India's prime minister Narendra Modi has his roots in a fascist Hindu movement. And like Viktor Orbán of Hungary, Modi is associated with a rise in the kind of right-wing national populism that the EU supposedly deplores. So while the EU still describes India as the world's largest democracy, a looming question is how much longer that will continue to be the case. Journalist Rana Ayyub has emerged as one of the most prominent critics of Modi. She went undercover to investigate the extent of official complicity in mass killings of Muslims in Gujarat when Modi was the state's chief minister. Rana has been profiled in Time magazine and the New Yorker, and she's now a columnist for The Washington Post. She says any rapprochement with India mustn't come at the expense of the truth about Modi's authoritarian instincts and links to brutality against minorities. Also in this episode: Dutch member of the European Parliament Agnes Jongerius on her priorities for trade talks with India. Agnes represents the Socialists & Democrats group within the influential trade committee.Support the show

This week, it's an all-Newslaundry panel as Akanksha Kumar is joined by Basant Kumar and Ayush Tiwari. Basant kicks off the podcast by talking about the ongoing election season in Gujarat, the ground realities of the Gujarat model, unemployment, Narendra Modi's image, and unkept promises such as those surrounding the sugar mill in Kodinar. He explains how the closing down of one mill has compelled farmers to grow less profitable crops as compared to sugarcane. Ayush then details how the Yogi Adityanath government gave Republic TV a plot in Noida for a new studio, and how this land was leased during the Uttar Pradesh assembly election, on a day Arnab Goswami interviewed the chief minister in Ayodhya. He says the deal is not illegal but raises questions. This and a lot more as they talk about what made news, what didn't, and what shouldn't have.

Back in the days when bands like Led Zeppelin or The Who toured America, teens lined up overnight at ticket booths, hoping for great seats when the window opened. As time went on, the queue moved to the telephone and ultimately online. All the while, one company increased its grip on the live-event market. That company is Ticketmaster.  But that could change thanks to Taylor Swift. Having waited years to see her live again, millions of fans were blocked by a combination of crushing demand, technical breakdown and the ascendance of bot-buyers who funnel tickets to a secondary market that charges sky-high prices. (In the 20th century, they were called scalpers.) As reporter Augusta Saraiva explains, this consumer calamity infuriated Swift's fans, many of whom are swimming in cash saved up during the pandemic and desperate to spend it, regardless of the shaky economic landscape. This strange state affairs already has a name: “Swiftonomics.” Lawmakers have seized on the popular outrage, uniting with fans against what many have long alleged to be Ticketmaster's monopoly power. Host Stephanie Flanders speaks with Bloomberg industry analyst Eleanor Tyler about how the debacle, and its growing political exploitation, may be the tipping point for increased antitrust regulation that finally breaks Ticketmaster's spell over the live event marketplace. Then we dive headlong into a different thicket: how recycling doesn't work as advertised. Consumers may feel better about mass consumption because there's a blue bin for everything, but the hard truth is they're fooling themselves. Most of the plastics, clothes and other items they seek to recycle wind up in landfills or dumped on the developing world. Along the shoreline of Accra, Ghana, what locals call “dead white people's clothes” can be found in piles up to six feet high.  Reporter Natalie Pearson explains that while fast-fashion chains like H&M and Zara encourage recycling, only a small fraction of their clothes will ever be remade into new items. Bloomberg recently surveyed the problem in Accra, where some 40% of the imported clothes end up as trash, and in the Indian state of Gujarat, where roughly one-third have no use. Finally, Flanders sits down with Bennington College Senior Fellow and visiting faculty member Judith Enck, a US Environmental Protection Agency official during the Obama administration, to discuss just how broken the recycling system is, and how it could be made to work better.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
