Professor Apoorvanand and Siddharth Varadarajan delve deeper into the issues that made news last week.
Support Free & Independent Journalism

Good morning, we need your help!!

Since May 2015, The Wire has been committed to the truth and presenting you with journalism that is fearless, truthful, and independent. Over the years there have been many attempts to throttle our reporting by way of lawsuits, FIRs and other strong arm tactics. It is your support that has kept independent journalism and free press alive in India.

If we raise funds from 2500 readers every month we will be able to pay salaries on time and keep our lights on. What you get is fearless journalism in your corner. It is that simple.

Contributions as little as ₹ 200 a month or ₹ 2500 a year keeps us going. Think of it as a subscription to the truth. We hope you stand with us and support us.

Professor Apoorvanand and Siddharth Varadarajan discuss the Modi government’s recent decision to lift the ban on civil servants joining the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, the Madhya Pradesh high court’s endorsement and support for this move, and the Uttar Pradesh administration’s attempt to harass and marginalise Muslim food vendors in the name of ensuring Kanwariyas get ‘satvik food’ during their pilgrimage.
