While CAB discriminates on religious lines, the tanking economy will not discriminate. All of us will sink or sail in the same ship

Hang your heads in shame, those parliamentarians who supported this atrocious law. It is discriminatory, of course, but it is also a monstrous fraud since its supposed 'humanitariarism' towards the religiously persecuted comes with a cut-off date, of 2014! https://thewire.in/government/rajya-sabha-citizenship-amendment-bill-debate

Normalcy is spreading beyond Kashmir.

Desperation of JNU administration evident in these attempts to instigate violence. A VC who refuses to meet teachers and students trying to intimidate by proxy violence. They want this campus to burn, but we will not allow it.

There is a lot to read about how international taxation rulemaking isn’t working towards equity, reminds us @toddntucker and 4 @icrict commissioners @gabriel_zucman @JosephEStiglitz @Jayati1609 and Valpy FitzGerald write about it!

Scholarly assessment of the suppressed NSSO Consumption Survey by S Subramanian finds deterioration of welfare in the rural areas, a slowing-down of improvement in the urban areas, and significant likely increases in rural poverty.
