Jitu Munda (55) had approached the Odisha Grameen Bank multiple times to withdraw the savings of his sister, who had died two months earlier. Bank authorities asked him to furnish the required documents but failed to make him understand what exactly was needed or how he could arrange it. An uneducated tribal man, with no knowledge of paperwork or procedures and unable to comprehend the requirement of documentary proof, exhumed his sister’s remains, placed them in a sack, and carried them to the bank as evidence of her death. Once the issue went viral, the bank sprang into action and are now saying that he will be guided and helped. But shouldn’t this be the standard practice? Grameen banks were established for financial inclusion, to serve the most vulnerable sections of society, not to burden them with rigid, urban-centric bureaucratic processes they neither understand nor can navigate. Moreover, the staff in such banks are mostly local and are expected to understand the ground realities far better. If even they fail to bridge the gap between policy and people, then the very purpose of these institutions stands defeated.

Son of a BJP MLA from Pichhore (Madhya Pradesh) ran over five people and arrogantly blamed the victims. He has a similar past case too. His father also has a glorious criminal record. Look at his Thar: no number plate, sirens, modified lights, and his father’s photo and designation in bold. He must have been roaming like this, and no policeman would have dared act on these multiple RTO offences. Given his confidence and our faith in the system, this time too he’ll face no action.

+300 Member of Parliament means:- 1) More corruption 2) More taxes 3) More traffic jams 4) Spread of more VIP culture 5) Rise of more of their MP gang members traveling in Thars (Tharorists 😂) Rise of MP population is inversely proportional to your quality of life.

16 Indians dead in Andhra consuming adulterated milk. Every single day, 10 or 20 or 30 Indians perish in some such incident/accident. Zero value of human life.
