How will redrawing India's electoral map reshape the balance of power? The upcoming delimitation exercise can change India’s federal compact like never before. From the North-South demographic divide to the urgent lessons on the risks of gerrymandering, our new e-book breaks down what every citizen needs to know. 'The Delimitation Debate: The Union and its Units' is now available free and exclusive to digital subscribers of The Hindu Group.

#Ethanol-spiked #petrol is a polite way of saying ADULTERATED petrol. And adulterated/first copy product should ideally be availabe cheaper. @ioclupso2 @BPCLimited @HPCL

ये जीतू मुंडा हैं. इनके कंधे पर इनकी बहन कालरा मुंडा का कंकाल है. दरअसल, जीतू की बहन कालरा की 2 महीने पहले मौत हो गई. कालरा जीतू को बता गईं कि उनके बैंक खाते में 19,300 रुपए हैं, जिसे जीतू निकाल लें. जीतू ओडिशा ग्रामीण बैंक पहुंचे. बैंक के कर्मचारियों न कहा- जिसका खाता है उसे लाओ या डेथ सर्टिफिकेट और कानूनी वारिस होने का प्रमाण दो. सर्टिफिकेट बनवाना गरीब जीतू के लिए पहाड़ चढ़ने सा था, उन्होंने आसान रास्ता चुना. जीतू ने बहन की कब्र खोदी, कंकाल को बोरी में भरा और कंधे पर कंकाल को लादकर बैंक पहुंच गए. इस दौरान जीतू 5 किलोमीटर ऐसे ही चलते रहे. रास्ते में जिसने भी ये देखा, वो स्तब्ध रह गया. सोचिए.. अपने देश में ये है गरीबी का हाल, 19,300 रुपए के लिए लोग ऐसा खौफनाक कदम उठा रहे हैं. फिर आएंगे न्यूज एंकर जो चिल्लाएंगे कि हम चौथी सबसे बड़ी अर्थव्यवस्था हैं... सॉरी, अब तो छठवीं अर्थव्यवस्था हो गए हैं. ये है असल भारत

@MORTHIndia My wife was wrongly sent this challan for her scooter when the photo clearly shows the errant vehicle is a motorcycle AS01FD3054 in Dhubri, 300 km away from where we live. Is this harassment just to fleece people any which way?

AS01FD3058 is the errant vehicle, as far as I can make out. A gearless scooter/scooty is supposed to be different from a geared motorcycle.

An amazing article by @the_hindu @suhasinih @rahconteur, though on some points we may have varying views. The arrangement we made for Indian pilgrims for the Kangrinboqe Feng and Mapam Yuco Pilgrimage (Kailash Manasarovar Yatra) demonstrated our good will and friendship towards Indian people. It is a new starting point. Believe our ties, much like the pilgrims' journey, will overcome difficulties and see magnificent vistas ahead.

Poignantly named #OperationSindoor as a tribute to the women widowed instantly by the brutal slaughter of innocent tourists by Pakistan-trained Lashkar terrorists , this war is inevitable. Yet as with all wars, the suffering, pain and loss that will be inflicted on innocent citizens on both sides is unimaginably tragic. Prayers for our armed forces @adgpi to achieve quick success in what hopefully remains a limited action. Prayers and all good wishes for the Prime Minister @narendramodi & his colleagues who have embarked on this courageous if difficult course of action after much deliberation. India must rally behind the Government in this crisis, putting aside our internal policy disagreements. Jai Hind!!

#WATCH | #OperationSindoor | Wife of Shubham Dwivedi who lost his life in #PahalgamTerroristAttack, says, "I want to thank PM Modi for taking revenge for my husband's death. My entire family had trust in him, and the way he replied (to Pakistan), he has kept our trust alive. This is the real tribute to my husband. Wherever my husband is, he will be at peace today."

Request to @bcci and @IPL: With such highway pitches, bowlers have become redundant. Please play 11 batters, some of them part-time bowlers who can complete the 20-over formality. This way, we can have 300/400+ runs scored and chased down
