India treats voting as a fragile, easily changeable legal privilege, not as a fully protected constitutional right, and that leaves citizens vulnerable when voter rolls go wrong!

The groves are long gone. The earth levelled, stamped with the urban grid. In the monsoon, rain gathers in potholes and remembers snakes, frogs, branches laden with heavy leaves. The traffic sways to an old rhythm.

"India’s ability to turn challenges into opportunities will define the economic well-being of 1.5 billion Indians for years to come. Can the Modi government rise to the challenge? Not many will place a wager on the man who has promised a lot since 2014 but delivered little."

New Research: Forget Individual Climate Targets, We Need Collective Goals
Two new pieces of research suggest that we need to reconsider the terminology around “1.5°C-aligned” and “net-zero” pledges.

India Built a Perfect System to Ignore Its Deadly Air. (It's working.)
