Ayushi Kar and Special Intensive Review in West Bengal

In this episode, we speak with journalist Ayushi Kar. We discuss the special intensive revision process in West Bengal, where 9 million voters were deleted from the voter rolls. We delve into the Election Commission of India’s changing goalposts, the message this exercise has sent to India’s Muslims, and what this exercise says about the future of Indian elections. Ayushi brings her extensive experience as one of the first reporters to go to West Bengal to report on this process to provide her insights on this complicated development and how it is affecting West Bengal’s voters just days before legislative assembly elections in the state.

Niala Mohammad and Afghanistan-Pakistan Conflict

In this short episode, we speak with Niala Mohmmad of the Center for the Study of Organized Hate. We discuss why Afghanistan-Pakistan relations have broken down since the return of the Taliban. We explore the geopolitical dynamics of the war between these two countries, including how India’s close ties with the Taliban may be making Pakistan more nervous about its neighborhood.
