Since his shift to the BJP, #SuvenduAdhikari ran an anti-Muslim campaign, dishing out threats, conspiracy theories and dog-whistling. The BJP leadership rewarded him for this. We document the pattern of his hate speeches in this @thewire_in piece:🧵🧵

#PCIFilmClub presents Faiza Ahmad Khan's 2008 documentary, Supermen of Malegaon. Malegaon, a small town tucked away near the heart of India geographically, is fraught with communal tension and under economic depression. To escape the harsh reality of their world, its people seek refuge in the fantastical world of cinema. This passion for cinema has spurred a group of cinema enthusiasts to make their own films-quirky, low budget, socially aware and notoriously funny spoofs of Bollywood films. Their ambition has grown and now they are ready to take on Hollywood and Superman. Thursday, May 14 6 PM Press Club of India See you there!

PM Modi's itinerary yesterday: *Flew to Bengaluru, then Hyderabad and Jamnagar. *Addressed BJP workers in Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Jamnagar. *Held roadshows in Hyderabad and Jamnagar. Shouldn't the head of the government also cut down on political campaigning in a crisis?

If people are using fuel, cooking oil, travelling abroad, etc. etc. - it is with their own money. Modi’s massive ‘roadshows’ - there is one in Somnath today - the daily newspaper jacket ads, travels to Europe planned for later are on public money. Where is the curb on that?

I’ve postponed this week’s Terms of Trade to election result day (Monday). But today happens to the death anniversary of Ashok Mitra, whose cult classic has inspired the name of my column. Sharing a short piece I wrote on him some time ago azimpremjiuniversity.edu.in/indian-economi…

I had started writing this when Ali Khan Mahmudabad’s case happened. When I finished it, a professor was issued a show-cause notice for writing an email to a vice chancellor to conduct election to the teachers' association. For writing an email. A show-cause. To a professor.
