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.

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.

So before you vote for your favourite Read more [...]
Kejriwal’s Debacle – we were warned at the very start

India’s Infant Mortality Rates are worse than Uganda, Bangladesh, Iraq….

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 [...]
