@alfgunvald tears into World Bank's trickery around global poverty estimates. Calls out the usual 'lack of resources' and raises the issue of lopsided distribution. An important read.

More power to you, @irenaakbar
Comparison of the burka, a symbol of a besieged minority, with the trishul, a symbol of aggressive majoritarianism is callous and insensitive.

2017 was one of India's worst years yet. But so many - including the BHU women, the Bhim Army, the people of Gujarat, Hadiya and Kausalya, farmers and workers, Not In My Name - supplied hope and determination that defeated despair. Here's to unity, solidarity, struggle in 2018!
