My story on how PM Modi’s promise to bring internet to rural India has failed. 11,200 crore rupees has been spent. 124,000 gram panchayats were covered, 313,000 kilometre of optic fibre has been laid. But where is the Wi-Fi?
Most villagers in Tigaon, Haryana were unaware that their village was supposed to have wi-fi under #BharatNet; those who knew were frustrated by its failed promise made by PM Modi to bring internet connectivity to every citizen of rural India bit.ly/2ut1QPL

And finally, the story of a crazy German fan of SRK that I wrote on. That he’s a fan is not the story, but why. After he lost his mother, he and his broken hearted father found hope in SRK and his movies. google.co.in/amp/s/indianexp…

This is why nothing can compare with show leather reporting @DrSarvapriya brilliant series The Last Man that documents the diversity of Indian voters is a must watch
Signing off: The Last Man
स्कूल में महात्मा गांधी का एक जंतर हमारी हर किताब के पहले पन्ने पर होता था.
‘जब आप कोई कदम उठाने का सोच रहे हैं, जब आप किसी दुविधा में हैं तो सबसे ग़रीब और कमज़ोर व्यक्ति का चेहरा याद करिए जिसे आपने देखा हो, और खुद से पूछिए कि आपका कदम उसके लिए उपयोगी होगा या नहीं. क्या इससे उसे कुछ हासिल होगा?’
मेरे लिए ‘द लास्ट मैन’ वही जंतर था.
इस यात्रा में समझ आया कि दरअसल, सब लोग खुद अपनी आवाज़ हैं. ब्लकि जो बोल नहीं सकते, उनके पास भी आवाज़ है. इसलिए, कोई Voiceless नहीं होता और ना हमें किसी की voice बनने की ज़रूरत हैं. हम सिर्फ़ माध्यम हैं और हमें सिर्फ़ उन आवाज़ों तक पहुँचने की ज़रूरत है. इन आवाज़ों की ताक़त बने आप लोग जिन्होंने इन्हें देखा-सुना, दूर तक पहुँचाया.
ये देश बहुत बड़ा है. अपने चरित्र में भी बहुत बड़ा है. सिर्फ़ शोर सुनकर इस देश का भविष्य तय मत मानिए. चुनाव में कोई भी जीते, लोकतंत्र को बनाए रखना, उसे बेहतर करते रहना ही इस देश के हित में है. शोर में जो आवाज़ें खो गई थीं, बस उनको सामने लाने की कोशिश..

Rahima Akter is a brilliant student who has fought her family, community and state, to educate herself, to be a human rights lawyer. But she’s Rohingya and she has been denied the right to education. My report for @AJEnglish photo by @fabeha_monir
"Is getting an education a crime? ... It's a fundamental human right ... Being a Rohingya is not my fault."
Rahima Akter was expelled from university in Bangladesh's Cox's Bazar for being Rohingya aje.io/lqsdq

Women are driving the surge in registrations on e-Shram, the first national database for informal workers. What could this mean for the female workforce of the country? @orfonline
Higher registration by #women could be a positive sign. In India, a higher percentage of women workers are part of the informal economy compared to men—94 percent of women workers are in the informal sectors, highlights @sunaina_kumar. or-f.org/102652

India’s G20 presidency sought to tackle the thorny issue of gender gap, India is ranked 127 out of 146 countries, through the theme of women-led development. What is the role of G20 in achieving gender equality?
