So much of my #photographic life has been spent in #Union meetings in Meghalaya. I don't know if meetings are worthy photographic subjects but somehow they have made me understand and participate in my world and its blighted times. So some union meeting images 🧵 1/n

What an essay... If you want to understand Indian capitalism under BJP rule, read this one by @mrajshekhar . No other journalist has made me understand political economy of fascism as Rajashekhar has done. I now want to read his book

If ‘Sabka Vikas’ Is a Myth, Who Has Gained the Most Under Modi?

The BJP cannot be understood purely on the basis of its majoritarian politics. Financial arrangements too are integral to its politics.
