Yes. The editors were entertaining well-regarded columnists who were writing reams on the 'development' in the model state.

If you were an editor in any Indian newsrooms in 2013-14, you should be ashamed. The Gujarat Model should have been tested well before 2013 -- when the BJP was promising to spread that across India. Lies need to be nipped in time, not brainlessly regurgitated.

We at the Review mourn the loss of Paul Auster (1947–2024). In celebration of his life and work, we’ve unlocked his Art of Fiction interview from our archive.

For a progressive country its youth and their free thinking is vital. In India, this dumbing down of students -both at universities & at home- with misinformation & altered history, should alarm us all. #galgotia

Revisit a 1995 essay by Paul Auster, who died yesterday, at 77, that addresses the question: Why write? nyer.cm/FugJdfD

“The more unlived your life, the greater your death anxiety. The more you fail to experience your life fully, the more you will fear death.”

“If you’re twenty-two, physically fit, hungry to learn and be better, I urge you to travel – as far and as widely as possible. Sleep on floors if you have to. Find out how other people live and eat and cook. Learn from them – wherever you go.”

― Anthony Bourdain

What decent well-intentioned people can achieve!

The world really should pay more attention to what’s happening in India

If you missed details of BJP's communal video— released as an official campaign but now withdrawn—read Ajoy Ashirwad from day before yesterday.

This is the muck which emerges when Modi's thoughts and words meet Amar Chitra Katha in a sewage pipe.

Interesting study from Chhattisgarh

Either the kid is a cricket buff or a a journalism student .

Out today, the tale of a striking paradox. 'Even as Indians struggle, the economics of the BJP has seen a dramatic improvement.' The party is, for one, building new offices + outspending rivals in the polls. How deep are its pockets, ask The Wire and I. thewire.in/politics/the-r…

So glad our story has led to EC disclosing the figures and a lot of discussion around it.
