4.5 Years of Injustice: Umar Khalid and the Cruelty of the Process
Umar Khalid languishes in jail, another episode of Fake News, Real Impact, and the future of Dalit politics in UP.
"Four and a half years ago, Umar Khalid was a PhD scholar, a thinker, a man who dared to believe in a 'just' India. Today, he is a prisoner of the state," writes Nabiya Khan. In the latest episode of 'Fake News, Real Impact', witness how a rumour during cricket victory celebrations in Madhya Pradesh escalated into communal violence. Ministers often make bold claims about job creation. However, there's no accountability framework to track outcomes, writes Suchak Patel. Meanwhile, Sumeet Samos writes an insightful piece on the future of Dalit politics in Uttar Pradesh.
