Hafta letters: US elections, fascism, democracy

Great work on Hafta, NL team! I’ve been going through several of the archives that are available on video.

Hafta letters: Canada-India standoff, Khalistan, and US elections

Thanks for the fantastic report on government expenditure on PM’s visits. Can you do an investigation report on the bouquets presented to dignitaries by politicians from government funds? Also, what happens to them after the presentation?

Newslaundry

Hafta letters: Bad corporate culture, swearing on Hafta, India’s youth and future

I saw NL’s video on the protest in support of Nasrallah. I felt very odd as many Muslims looked up to Nasrallah and called him innocent.

Hafta letters: EY employee’s death, toxic work culture, journalism

Hello Abhinandan,I have been a big supporter of you and Newslaundry for the past two or three years. I especially love the collaboration with The News Minute and I am excitedly looking forward to the collaboration with East Mojo. I also have feedback. It may sting personally, but I hope…

Hafta letters: CJI-Modi’s Ganesh pooja, arguments on nuqta, work-life balance

Regarding the CJI-PM pooja meet, I disagree with Shardool. In this case perceptions really matter. It is not the question about freedom to practise religion but rather it is about the public perception that there is a separation between the judiciary and the executive. In a time of growing mistrust…

Hafta letters: First Amendment, India as single entity, NL-TNM alliance

Well this one is a kudos for Mr Anand, the voice of the weak on Hafta:

Newslaundry

Hafta letters: Creators vs journalists, NL-TNM subscriptions, Ravish Kumar

On the blurring between YouTube creators and journalists, it is surprising that the Hafta missed two important distinctions – the social media news creators who hold a journalism degree versus those who don’t.

Newslaundry

Hafta letters: NL app, Olympics, scam calls

Dear panel,

Newslaundry

Hafta letters: Vinesh, Paris Olympics, French politics

The sad reality of Vinesh getting disqualified is that everyone shouting in the fish market (newsrooms) doesn’t know jack about weight cutting. When she was above the limit, she wasn’t eligible and the reason behind that is not because 0.1 kg is nothing. It’s huge!

Newslaundry

Hafta letters: Karnataka jobs quota, Indian cities, Trump

I have a question for the future Chief Justice of India, Anand. If you haven't watched the Sansad speech of RG or PM, how do you have such strong opinions of RG’s speech and an acceptable vision of PM’s speech? You have the right to have your bias, but if…

Hafta letters: Delhi, Khalistan, competitive exams

Following the media stories from Delhi, it seems every year is Groundhog Day. May-June bring stories of water shortages; July will bring stories of flooding and waterlogging, soon followed by dengue. Then, after a brief respite, we will get pollution from farm fires and Diwali in the winter months, and…

Hafta letters: Punjabi voters, Elon Musk, VODCAST

Previous week’s letters:

Newslaundry

Hafta letters: Faizabad voters, Prashant Kishor analysis, south Hafta

The Urban Heat Island effect is real and most of it is because of heat from fuels on roads and electricity. A policy change that could have impacted this would have been to encourage taller residential buildings rather than smaller independent houses. Taller buildings would provide similar residential space with…

Hafta letters: Lok Sabha mandate, Prashant Kishor, casteist terms

I was quite surprised (and enraged) by such an extreme level of support for Israel from the radical Hindu segment of India (yes, almost everyone belonged to 'Modi Ka Parivar', other than Subramaniam Swami). Has this deep-rooted Islamophobia become so entrenched in our country’s population? (Just look at the backlash…

Newslaundry

Hafta letters: Election commission, legacy media and VVPAT

My question is related to Hafta #469. On the organised nature of Ram mandir decor in public spaces, Shardool brushed it off, claiming that I don’t “understand” India. I thought his answer had more to do with his own mandir-time-tribulations than the uniformity of the decor, and Raman sir did…

This week, Newslaundry’s Abhinandan Sekhri, Manisha Pande, Jayashree Arunachalam and Anand Vardhan are joined by advertising guru and columnist Santosh Desai and multimedia artist Anurag Minus Verma.

Hafta letters: Modi, Congress and voting systems

On Hafta 478, Manisha suggested that the BJP is stronger than the Congress and that’s why they keep winning. I would like to differ on this.
