Imagine if any country today formally banned people of a particular religion or ethnicity from education and work? The whole world would unite against it. Yet for 5 years one gender has been banned from school, college, work and from public life altogether....

A year ago, we warned against the normalisation of Taliban rule. We repeat that warning today with greater urgency, because the temptation to normalise has grown while the grounds to justify it have not. Normalising a regime that systematically persecutes more than half of its

Dustbin scam in Bihar : > Market price of a 45L dustbin is ₹700–₹800. > Market price of a 75L dustbin is ₹1,000–₹1,100. > But Bihar government’s budget for a 45L dustbin is ₹11,000 and for a 75L dustbin is ₹15,000. Imagine the level of corruption. They are even looting basic things like dustbins. This is BJP Bihar gov for you

SAMDISH SHOWS THE REALITY OF GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS IN RURAL INDIA 🚨 SAMDISH: Are there many schools here with only one teacher? TEACHER 🧾: Yes. One teacher runs the whole school, and still government reports, surveys and duties keep coming. SAMDISH: What kind of children study here? TEACHER 💔: Most are from poor families. Parents leave for Patna, Allahabad or Chennai for labour. Many children live alone, cook alone and still come to school. SAMDISH: What do teachers do when children stop coming? TEACHER 🕯️: We send other children to call them. If they still do not come, we go ourselves to find them in fields or forests. SAMDISH: So this is more than teaching? TEACHER 🫡: Much more. The salary is low, but when a child from here becomes something, that happiness keeps us going.

Most Indians never get to vote for their Rajya Sabha MP. Instead, members of the Upper House are elected indirectly by MLAs. But with frequent reports of cross-voting, political bargaining, and controversies during Rajya Sabha elections, is the current system still serving Indian democracy? In this clip from Manika Raikwar's (@ManikaRaikwar ) conversation with Dorab R. Sopariwala, they discuss why some believe it's time to rethink how Rajya Sabha members are elected, and whether direct elections could make the process more transparent and accountable. Stay tuned.

Should India increase the strength of the Lok Sabha to nearly 850 Members of Parliament, or should the focus first be on making Parliament work better? In this conversation with Dorab R. Sopariwala, Manika Raikwar(@ManikaRaikwar) explores one of India's most significant constitutional debates. From representation and legislative efficiency to parliamentary productivity and lawmaking, the discussion examines whether a larger Lok Sabha would actually improve governance or simply expand an institution that many argue needs reform first. This clip is an excerpt from a deeper conversation on the future of India's democracy. Watch the full discussion now on DeKoder for an in-depth analysis of the debate around parliamentary expansion, delimitation, representation and governance. youtu.be/A1k_cK1tWcM #DelimitationBill #LokSabha #Parliament #IndianPolitics #Delimitation #IndianDemocracy #Governance #CurrentAffairs #BJP

UP Government has ordered schools to be shut for nine-days due to Kanwariyas, of course education is not a priority. Online classes are a joke! Come winter, they will again shut schools due to pollution. Same story during summer. They are playing with the future of kids. Schools shut but on the other hand if you look around, every other day a new liquor shop pops up in Noida/Ghaziabad/Greater Noida

Should India increase the strength of the Lok Sabha from 543 seats to around 850? Supporters argue that more MPs would reduce the number of voters each representative serves, improve accessibility, and make room for women’s reservation without reducing existing seats. Critics, however, question whether simply adding more MPs will solve Parliament’s deeper challenges. In this episode, Dorab R. Sopariwala joins Manika Raikwar (@ManikaRaikwar) to discuss: •⁠ ⁠Why the proposal to expand Parliament is being considered •⁠ ⁠Whether more MPs actually mean better representation •⁠ ⁠How India’s Parliament compares with the UK and other democracies •⁠ ⁠Why parliamentary sittings have declined over the decades •⁠ ⁠Why committee scrutiny matters before passing laws •⁠ ⁠Whether India needs a bigger Parliament or a better-performing one Would increasing the number of MPs strengthen Indian democracy, or should the focus be on improving how Parliament functions?

She is not a criminal. She isn't carrying a weapon. She is just an Adivasi woman fighting for Jal-Jangal-Jameen and her constitutional rights. This is how she is being treated. There are countless others facing the same. Why is nobody talking about them?? #KenBetwa #Bundelkhand
