The Redundant Gandhi

2 weeks ago | t.ly | PR Ramesh |Ullekh NP

CONGRESS LEADER Rahul Gandhi’s political priorities, it seems, can be interpreted through the lens of Nobel Prize-winning behavioural economist Richard Thaler’s theories. Before delving into one such theory that helps us better understand the Nehru-Gandhi scion, it’s worth noting that his flawed political strategies appear to be driven by three ‘M’s: Mother, Modi-phobia, and Monopoly.

The Woke Threat to the Gig Economy

Mar 20, 2025 | t.ly | PR Ramesh |Siddharth Singh

When Rights Are WrongSHAIK SALAUDDIN IS one of the actors in Rahul Gandhi’s fantasy epic-in-the-works on how to ‘mend’ the Indian economy, broken or not. Salauddin—who was once an Uber driver—participated in a 20-minute walk with Gandhi in the Bharat Jodo Yatra in November 2022. That was his overnight launch pad from anonymity to celebrity. In that sliver of time, Salauddin claimed he managed to pitch his grievances and demands successfully to the cause-starved Congress leader.

Divine Rhapsody - Open The Magazine

Jan 9, 2025 | openthemagazine.com | PR Ramesh |Ullekh NP

THE MAHA KUMBH MELA IN PRAYAGRAJ, Uttar Pradesh (UP), is the largest religious congregation in the world, spread over a sprawling topography covering over 4,000 hectares for close to one-and-a-half month. Hindu pilgrims of all castes and forms of faith, from big cities to small villages, assemble in their crores as a sea of humanity across a maze of tents, millions of lights and smoke from the fires of Vedic rituals.
The Nowhere Alliance

Nov 28, 2024 | openthemagazine.com | PR Ramesh |Ullekh NP

SINCE THE INDIAN National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (I.N.D.I.A.) was crudely stitched together in July 2023, it has been obvious that its ideologically variegated constituents had no common ground. To be fair to them, none of them ever made any such tall claims and there was not even an effort from any partner to establish any semblance of political compatibility while they vied with one another in one-upmanship.

Sharad Pawar: Honey, They Shrunk MeCUT DOWN TO SIZE in Maharashtra, Sharadchandra Govindrao Pawar has been reduced to a leader of just one-and-a-half districts. Often called the Chanakya of politics, Pawar Sr had all his monikers unmasked after his party, NCP (SCP), won a paltry 10 Assembly seats of the 87 it contested. The ‘emperor’ was disrobed by his nephew Ajit ‘Dada’ Pawar, not too long ago his best-mentored go-to man.

Modi leads the big pushback against efforts to divide Hindu society

Nov 14, 2024 | openthemagazine.com | PR Ramesh

THE COMMON REFRAIN BY SUNSET ON JUNE 4, 2024 was that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) had come close to losing power due to its own miscalculations. That was, of course, far from the real reason why the party that had governed India for a decade had come close to grief.
