Now here lies the irony. WhatsApp used to play a critical role, for better part of a decade, in BJP’s messaging- true or false. But BJP wants access to accounts that are beginning to successfully counter it. Will BJP let the group exit?

Redistribution of wealth is not a dirty word. In fact, as I have often said, it's an idea whose time has come !

This interview was first published in July 2023. A year later, the monthly magazine @CivilSocietyIND decides to publish it again in its May 2024 issue. I thank the magazine for finding the interview so relevant that it thought of drawing the nation's attention once again.
#JaideepHardikar is an intrepid journalist. His reports have always been eye-opening. He is asking a question that should worry every right-thinking person. Listen to the saner voices and then decide.

In exam for pharmacists in UP, 18 students write only Jai Shri Ram, get 50%. 2 professors later suspended. It is laughable, yes, but reveals the kind of idiocy & radicalisation that the BJP has engineered livemint.com/news/india/up-…
India is a parody that would give Jaane Bhi Do Yaaron a run for its money. 18 students in Uttar Pradesh passed their exams with flying colours. They wrote "Jai Shree Ram" on exam papers. livemint.com/news/india/up-…

Redistribution of wealth is an idea whose time has come. It should start with allocating 50% budget for roughly 50% population engaged in agriculture. That's the sure recipe for Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas. My article.
Will join Prof Abhijit Pathak, sociologist and columnist, at the launch of his collection of essays published by All India Pingalwara Charitable Society at Amritsar today.
Several generations of the farming community have lived in poverty because of an outdated macro-economic design. To keep wages low, food prices have been kept low. This must change. My article. @RBI @FinMinIndia
See, the animosity of Godi Media towards farmers. Large farmers of more than 10 hectares r only 0.57% of the total number of the farm holdings. Tax them ! But, simultaneously pass "MSP Guarantee Act", which ensures that farmers get crop prices acc to Swaminathan C2+50% formulae
Super. If BJP listens to @jayantsinha and introduces it- even for Rs500 crore plus assets - all these billionaires will need to pledge they will not form trusts and pay tax of 680 rupees like a private jet owning minister!! Agree? That would be real equity!!

The hype over Modi's economic performance is bred by a tightly controlled information ecosystem. Much of the hype over the overall state of the economy just doesn't wash when you drill down the numbers, I write in @TIME time.com/6969626/india-…

@Devinder_Sharma @rahulkanwal Very well argued on Newstrack, that Agriculture being a vital sector, requires more support. It's agriculture that can boost the economy, provide employment, contribute immensely to the welfare of our people.

India remains a poor and highly unequal country which can be reversed by improvements in human development and poverty reduction.
Sweden is one of the most "equal" countries in the world. It's also one of most developed nation post industrialisation. How did it get there? Through "wealth redistribution". How did it redistributed wealth? Through progressive taxation and enforcing a strong welfare state. 1/
