There used to be a dance of democracy, now it is stripped of all excitement.

In this episode of Seema Says, The Wire’s Editor Seema Chishti speaks to Managing Editor, Jahnavi Sen about why the Bengal elections are so concerning, whether India has given away its energy sovereignty, the Palantir CEO saying the quiet parts out loud, and the fact that no Indian broadcaster has bid to screen the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Seema’s recommendations:

1. Diljit Dosanjh on The Tonight Show

2. What Mysore’s accession to India tells us about India then and now - Sarayu Pani

Jahnavi’s recommendation:

Anita Bharti and Shabani Hassanwalia in conversation.
