Over the last few years of my travel in rural Maharashtra, I saw a common sight : groups of single, middle-aged farmers, struggling to find wives. I decided to dig deeper. A new crisis is brewing in rural India--Unemployment, underemployment, rising debts and climate change-hit farms are creating a new struggle for farmers: a struggle to find brides.

As elections approach, we are likely to see the BJP and its supporters intensify accusations of Muslim appeasement. But are Indian Muslims indeed the beneficiaries of undue favours? @sharmasupriya has the answer, in less than 4 minutes. For more, buy our book Love Jihad and Other Fictions, available here amazon.in/Love-Jihad-Oth… or in major bookstores.

AN OPEN LETTER TO EDITORS AND MEDIA HOUSES

Air pollution led to 1.6 million premature deaths in India in 2019, three times more than official Covid deaths in the country. This systemic challenge cannot be addressed by fragmented solutions and knee-jerk bans.

That an MP, no less, can be expelled by a Committee with no jurisdiction to do so, with findings thst have admittedly not even been investigated, should raise deep political questions. The interests of electoral democracy and @MahuaMoitra are tied here.

@kunalpurohit Congratulations, Kunal ! Knowing you as a reporter, I know this is going to be brilliant. Excited to read your book but also terrified to face what one suspects is happening around us...

Four years ago, this idea was born the night I spent in a Jharkhand town, learning about a brutal lynching. 4 years, reporting across 7 states later, it is here: a book that tells you about a brand of popular culture that is quietly seizing the imagination of millions, popularising Hindutva and changing the India we have known, one song, one poem and one book at a time.

Hard to believe. Soumya Bhattacharya, former editor of Hindustan Times, Mumbai, passed away in Delhi on Friday. The longest serving editor of HT Mumbai since the edition was launched in 2005, Soumya was also a renowned writer.

Baloch Human Rights Council of Canada writes to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau saying why no action against Pakistan on Karima Baloch's murder when Canada acted so promptly against India when it came to Nijjar killing. "Prime Minister Mr. Justin Trudeau's conspicuous silence regarding the high-profile, unexplained death of Ms. Karima Baloch—a prominent Balochistan human rights defender—stands in stark contrast to his impassioned speeches in the House of Commons and extensive international media coverage concerning the shooting death of Mr. Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Canada. This discrepancy raises concerns about the Canadian Government's consistency and fairness, particularly with regard to its handling of Balochistan's ongoing human rights violations by the Pakistan Army." - Dr. Zaffar Jawaid, President, BHRCC

Just like someone addicted to smoking, India seems unable to kick its habit of sharing intelligence dossiers on terrorists with countries that harbor terrorists. Old habits die hard. Remember the voluminous dossier India shared on the 2008 Mumbai massacre with the country behind that horrific terrorist attack? Now comes the news that India had shared a dossier with Canada on Nijjar, the Khalistani terrorist with an Interpol red corner notice against him since 2014. And what did Canada do in response to the dossier? Precious little. It just placed Nijjar on its no-fly list — lest he be captured by Indian intelligence by flying out of Canada! timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/india-sh…

Frankly, the question of double standards is at the heart of the present India-Canada standoff. I'm all for a "rules based" global order. But the rules must apply equally to everyone. Canada was highly supportive of drone strikes and other offensive action against "terrorists" across the Middle East. Thousands died, including hundreds of innocent civilians. Canada is yet to provide evidence of India's direct involvement in the Nijjar case, but the rhetoric is mystifying. Is Canada saying - the West can take any action it wants against those who target it. But the rest of you can't do anything. And we won't even help you bring terrorist sympathisers to justice. If so, that's not a fair recipe for a rules based world order.
