Bizarre-
Newslaundry accessed and examined the list of investment proposals that were mentioned in Mohan Yadav’s February reply.
Its biggest entry, worth Rs 3 lakh crore, is from a company set up less than eight months before the summit, which ended its first year with Rs 10,556 in cash and bank balance.

Modi’s government says it is open to hearing concerns from media groups about its privacy law and wants to protect press freedom; these are first government comments since major media publishers, including Ambani’s Network18, Adani’s NDTV, Indian Express and Times, challenged the legislation in the Supreme Court. tinyurl.com/mr4btj5n

NEW: The Times’s Credit Crisis
A recent New York Times front-page feature on chemical plants in the Trump era had deep reporting, stark data visuals, and an uncanny resemblance to a smaller outlet’s earlier investigation. Was this a case of unacknowledged inspiration, a steroidal dose of Times exceptionalism, or sheer coincidence?

हालिया विधान परिषद के चुनाव की मतदाता सूची में एक अजीबोगरीब नाम “राम ने शर्मा को मारा” भी है। कंप्यूटर/सॉफ्टवेयर जातिवादी नहीं है। हमारे द्वारा गलती किया जाना स्वीकार है लेकिन हमारे सौभाग्य से गलती होते समय भी जाति का भेदभाव नहीं हुआ है। भगवान का यह भी शुक्र है की राम ने किसी अल्पसंख्यक को नहीं मारा है। नहीं तो जातिवादी होने के साथ-साथ सांप्रदायिक होने का इल्ज़ाम भी लगता।

Kamta Prasad has been shuttling between government offices in Delhi trying to prove he is not dead.
