"...was told she had already died as per database." Aka. If you live in India, you can skip reading Kafka.
An elderly living woman in Mandya who is still alive went to give her thumbprint for ration card verification and was told she had already died as per database. Officials refused her thumbprint. Her ration was cancelled. She lost her cool, and confronted the Tahashildar at his office.

I had the privilege of serving as one of the co-team leads on this US$850M loan supporting the next phase of India’s PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana. It’s also one of ADB’s first climate Policy-Based Loans approved in 2026. Congratulations to everyone involved! 🌞⚡
We’ve approved a new loan to accelerate India's rooftop solar program, aiming to bring residential solar systems to 10 million households and add 30 gigawatts of capacity by 2027. 🔗 ow.ly/SS3C50ZtIIK

Under the Malicious Practices Act of 1933 in Germany (Verordnung zur Abwehr heimtückischer Diskreditierung der nationalen Regierung), it was a crime to criticise the government, including "gossiping" or "making fun" of officials.

Thank you PM for NOT firing Pradhan ji two weeks ago. It gave us enough time for: 1. The end of godi media 2. A million funny memes 3. A thousand pictures of courage 4. The rise of a dozen new young political leaders 5. “56 inch ka chhota bandar”

And now, Part Four: Over the last 12 years, the BJP has talked up a storm about wanting atmanirbharta (self reliance). Its choices for the PLI schemes (like ACC battery), however, show the party is anything but serious. thewire.in/energy/rajesh-exp…

Part 1: Overview Part 2: How BJP pushed fossil fuels Part 3 and 4: How we choked renewables India faces complex challenges but has low execution capability. Instead of fixing this (which needs time + attention to detail), the BJP opted for spectacle. The costs will stay with us.

Every facet of our lives is controlled by data and yet Indian courts are a black box. How many days does it take for a specific type of case to reach hearing, how many hearings? Hear @thriddas explain why Indian courts keep failing to digitize youtu.be/h4hHTBBh7AU?si=05lJ…
