Let’s celebrate AAP’s criminal MLAs!
AAP’s recent electoral victory in Delhi was seen as a win for democracy. The Ballot beat the Bullet. Secularism beat Fascism. Development beat Divisiveness etc. etc. But AAP’s electoral victory was also validation for another critical component of our democracy – backing of winnable candidates by political parties(often those with pending criminal cases), at any cost. Arvind Kejriwal is the Delhi Chief Minister and National Convener/ Master and Read more […]

Note from a Magnanimous Hindu to those other Indians
India is truly blessed that our population is dominated by those who identify as Hindu – the most noble and altruistic people in the history of mankind. Irrespective of your caste, gender or religion, we know what’s best for you and have now mobilized our government to work in your best interest. It’s been a tough ride for Hindus in India since we’ve constantly been under attack and oppressed. All we have going for us is a majority of the population, Read more […]
Worst MPs of the outgoing Lok Sabha
Our parliament is made up of 543+ MPs who directly represent us and influence laws that rule our lives. Yet, during Lok Sabha elections, we stay obsessed with national political leaders like Rahul Gandhi and Narendra Modi. The reality is that there is no single political leader who can magically transform the country. If we keep electing MPs and MLAs who are incompetent and corrupt, the system will stay broken. So before you vote for your favourite Read more […]
#MeTooIndia – Five ways to blame women for getting sexually assaulted
India is gripped by an epidemic. Our most vulnerable population, men in positions of power & authority, are being forced to take responsibility for acts of sexual aggression. Never before has the status quo been challenged so brazenly. Going forward, there could be a possibility that entitled men may need to think twice before catcalling, inappropriately touching and/or sexually assaulting women. These are trying times for our men. But all is Read more […]
Nirav Modi Scam – How much money is Rs. 11,380 crore?
The top 1% of India’s population own nearly 60% of the country’s total wealth. And our financial systems seem to have been fine-tuned to function best for this economic elite. If an extremely poor villager wants to buy a goat worth Rs 5,000, micro-finance institutes would happily charge interest rates of over 30%. Meanwhile it seems to have become a trend for our ultra rich to dupe public financial institutions of massive amounts of money and then Read more […]
Kejriwal’s Debacle – we were warned at the very start
Kejriwal’s media-fed frenzied ‘movement’ inspired many to join the AAP. But even in the party’s early days, some key personnel chose to break-up with the party within months. And as they left, everyone said the same thing – there is no democracy in Kejriwal’s party and little difference in the way AAP functions when compared to other (so called ‘corrupt’) parties. Hasya Kavi Kumar Vishwas is not a happy man these days. Though his smile Read more […]
2017’s Best Hindutva Quotes (and a few lessons for surviving acche din)
‘The West’ hates India. As do India’s own minorities and liberal minded ‘intellectuals’. Thankfully, our future is safe in the hands of BJP and its ideology. Today, our expertise in cow excrement has put us on the brink of redefining medical research. Our BJP leaders have shown us a path to hate everyone who isn’t the majority. And being patriotic is now easier than ever before. Here are some of the best Hindutva quotes from 2017, and some important Read more […]
These Indians are still “celebrating” Demonetisation
All stories showcased below are thanks to People’s Archive of Rural India (PARI). You can visit this page to read PARI’s coverage of demonetisation to learn how India’s most marginalized have been affected by it over the past year. On Nov 8th 2016, the government decided to casually demonetise 86% of the country’s banknotes in circulation. In terms of an operating strategy, the government very prudently decided to have none.

The Jay Amit Shah Story (told the correct way)

Assaulted, Abducted or Raped a Woman? Please be my MLA.
India has always been a world leader at electing those with pending criminal cases. Our political parties have forever provided us with a steady pipeline of criminally tainted candidates . And as electors, we always deliver by continuing to elect legislators who are accused of every crime under the sun from petty thefts to kidnappings and murders. We currently have the most criminalized Lok Sabha in history. #AccheDin. All data is courtesy Association Read more […]
Quiz: How well do you know the ‘other’ India?
India is poised to be an economic super-power (at least that’s what we’ve been told) and is expected to become the third largest economy by 2030. For decades, we have been obsessed with GDP and economic growth. What we don’t seem to track and measure as diligently, is basic human development. How does India perform at indicators that look at stuff like access to healthcare, education, nutrition etc? Most of us in urban bubbles couldn’t care less Read more […]
A crash course in India’s Farmer Crisis
Jan 2021: India’s farming crisis has been on for decades and what we are seeing right now is just the tipping point of systemic issues that have existed forever.

India’s leading rural journalist (and unfortunately one of our only ones), P. Sainath, recently Read more […]

Lok Sabha Honours List 2017 – Our most useless MPs

Why are we passing bills to make corruption easier for political parties?
Lack of financial transparency in the political system has always been one of our key challenges as a democracy. Recently, the government passed a bill in the Lok Sabha that will potentially lead to an increase in anonymous corporate donations to political parties as well as remove previous limits on how much corporations can donate to political parties. Here’s a look at some of the key factors in play. Status Quo Currently, political parties Read more […]
Would you hire someone with this Resume? (He is now UP’s Chief Minister!)
BJP – the party with a difference, has given us another gem. Yogi Adityanath will be the next Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh. Yogi Adityanath will act as an inspiration for millions of UPites over the next five years as he brings a much needed regressive and narrow minded approach to governance. Here is his incredible resume which touches upon his impressive body of work: Ajay Singh Bisht (aka Yogi Adityanath) 361,Old Gorakhpur,Shri Gorakhnath Read more […]
The absurdity of Mayawati & Kejriwal’s EVM claims
Two of our most prolific leaders from recent times, Behenji Mayawati and Arvind Kejriwal, have decided to have grave concerns regarding the electoral system – one that has allowed them to be Chief Ministers, a combined six times. In a BSP letter to the Election Commission of India (ECI) on March 11th 2017, National General Secretary Satish Chandra Mishra provided reasons for his parties skepticism about Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs).

The Butcher of India’s Surgical Strikes – Arnab Goswami
The aftermath of India’s surgical strikes has provided us with a new hero – Arnab Goswami. Every night, on super primetime, Arnab and his ego, put on a beautiful performance where they painstakingly take down every opinion that could be perceived as anti-Indian. Instead of using rationale or reason, Arnab uses the most effective tools available – bullying, shouting and mocking. Never mind if the person at the receiving end is Indian or Pakistani.

Arvind Kejriwal: An Insignificant Man
For a two-year period, cameras followed Arvind Kejriwal and his team to create An Insignificant Man, a documentary that chronicles the rise of Aam Aadmi Party to its present day leadership in Delhi.

Is Mayawati Porn a thing?
WahSarkar has always been a fan of Behenji Mayawati – especially back in the good old days when she used to be the CM (Chief Megalomaniac) of Uttar Pradesh.

We also compared her (and other politicians’) Google Search popularity with Sunny Leone. In the complicated world of search engine optimization, all this has somehow Read more […]

Thank You Smriti Irani for reinforcing the virtues of bigotry
Thank you Smriti Irani. The country was confused and in a precarious situation before your enthralling performance in parliament yesterday.

India’s Infant Mortality Rates are worse than Uganda, Bangladesh, Iraq….
At 7.3% GDP growth, India is set to be 2016’s fastest growing large economy. However, as of today, a child born in Bangladesh, has a better chance of living then one born in India. India has far surpassed Bangladesh when it comes to economic indicators, but many of our social indicators continue to be inferior to those of Bangladesh. And you can add the likes of Uganda, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Suriname, North Korea, Algeria, Bhutan, Nepal, Namibia and Read more […]

Women’s Empowerment in Indian Politics is here to stay (just kidding) !
We heard them loud and clear last year as they screamed hoarse about the need for empowering women in India. In the lead up to Lok Sabha 2014, all political parties told us how they plan to tackle gender equality. And boy did they perform, when it came to taking action during the elections, i.e. giving tickets to women. Overall, only (8%) of candidates in Lok Sabha 2014 were women and currently just 11% of the parliament is female. Among the major Read more […]

Who is India Searching for on Google ? (द्वितीय)
Last year, we did an analysis to compare which politicians are searched for the most on Google by Indians. To put it into context, we added the names of a cricketer and a Bollywood to see what happens to the results. Sunny Leone, the Bollywood starlet was the undisputed winner. The last 12 months have been extremely dynamic in Indian politics, so we thought we should repeat the process. The Google Trend analyzer is more sophisticated now and combines Read more […]

Gunda-Raj continues with Lok Sabha 2014 – Well done India!
Over the last month, we shattered voting records. An all time high of 66.4% of the national electorate voted. And the result is that we have resoundingly selected the most criminal parliament ever. For the last three years, we’ve been out on the streets protesting on empty stomachs and our fingers have gone numb sharing and liking status updates. But at the end of the day, it’s been all worth it. We have proudly selected 186 parliamentarians (36% Read more […]
Aam Aadmi to the rescue, or maybe not
It’s the season of political rhetoric. Indian politics, is known for candidates making tall claims and promises during campaigning followed by non-action. The Congress and BJP have mastered this and much of the electorate, for justified reasons, has given up on these two parties following through on any of their promises. But this time we have Arvind Kejriwal and the Aam Aadmi Party. An alternative view of politics. A party of the common man – the Read more […]

Keeping Religious Stupidity in Check – Section 377 and beyond

Why should we accept ‘criminal’ Kejriwal?
Over the last two years, Arvind Kejriwal has been on a crusade to bring about societal reforms. Throughout this period, Kejriwal has consistently expressed his disdain towards parliamentarians who have pending criminal cases against them.

Best Approaches to stopping Honest Bureaucrats: A definitive guide from Uttar Pradesh

She tried, but was eventually no match for the guile and deviousness of the state government. The illegal Read more […]

Political Satire
A Baby born in Bangladesh is more likely to survive than one born in India!
The reputation of Bangladesh is not the strongest in India.

BJP vs Congress – Distribution of tickets to Muslims
The BJP compromises on needs of the Indian Muslim in order to come to power. The Congress is looking to appease minorities at any cost as long as it stays in power.

Why should there be Women in Political Parties ???
It’s no secret that women are under-represented in Indian politics. However strategically speaking does it make sense for political parties to back female politicians?
