'The trend of rising number of loans per borrower has turned, and Q3 may be the worst in terms of #MFI loan defaults, but normalcy is still 2-3 quarters away', Sachin Seth of @CRIF_India, Aishwary Khandelwal of India Ratings & Chandan Thakur of Sa-dhan tell @latha_venkatesh, while journalist turned LSE scholar Anu Jogesh gives a moving eyewitness account of the woes of #MFI borrowers. youtube.com/watch?v=Qw0o2d…

Here is our commentary on how the 2024 Economics Nobel integrates colonialism into economics, while leaving a colonial worldview intact (with @SurbhiKesar & @devikadutt). To explain how & why they do this, we go back to the colonial origins of economics. epw.in/journal/2024/4…

Reposting this, seeing as Acemoglu is now a Nobel laureate. 😄

Seeing that state of Delhi today, a timely reminder that there’s no such thing as a natural disaster. items.ssrc.org/understanding-…

Please don’t blame the #DelhiRains on #climatechange - this is an urban mess caused by construction on all drainage points and BAD urban design - hold your netas, builders and urban planners accountable today and be angry very angry ..

What an uplifting story

For millions of Indians, defeat has never been as sweet

Hope is a dangerous thing my friend, it makes ordinary people dream.

@fm2112 @anandmahindra @MahindraRise The market for secondhand children's items is incredibly poor in India. So many young parents buy new bicycles and promptly put them up on 'upcycling' websites with little traction. A subscription model might just work! Well done @mygroclub. And @fm2112 for sharing this story!

@anandmahindra Thank you sir for sharing the video produced by gen.E (generation Earth). We are sustainable storytellers and would like to collaborate with @MahindraRise for the awesome work you are doing. We are also trying to heal the planet, one video at a time...

Very often, a good business idea is a meeting of the heart & the head. I applaud these entrepreneurs. One startup at a time, the planet will heal… The next time my grandchildren visit us, I will RENT them bicycles…

This is an important story, which needs to be widely read, discussed, and acted upon: himalmag.com/politics/relia…

What would we be without allies 💙❤️ what kind of society would it be where only the oppressed fight for their rights

On #GandhiJayanti today, how does one tackle the most pernicious myths or lies about the man? One must ask tough questions of Gandhi, but I argue that these questions must be rooted in good faith, not in bad faith. Here's a mega-thread about a WhatApp fwd I got. @boomlive_in

@cteeger @RaphaelSusewind Can’t wait to read it!

@RaphaelSusewind Thank you, Raphael.

@RaphaelSusewind 🥳

More than two-fifths of Indian population worse off than the poor in Burundi; richest compare with top 10% in rich countries. @AunindyoC points to "an internal colonisation, where a minuscule super-rich population has taken everything away from the rest." tribuneindia.com/news/comment/t…

“By relocating racism to … to the use of inappropriate words and to the extremist fringes, liberal antiracists end up absolving the institutions most responsible for racist practices.” A brilliant piece on the pervasiveness of structural, neoliberal forms of racism.

“By hosting the G20, the government of India will solve India’s age old problems of poverty, unemployment, hatred, environmental degradation, rising inequality and rising stupidity - all in one go.” @samzsays as brilliant as always. 😁

Just in case you've forgotten. Who we are and what we stand for...
