This week, host Shivnarayan Rajpurohit is joined by Newslaundry’s Tanishka Sodhi and the Hindu’s Ashna Butani.
Tanishka talks about her deep-dive on Shubhash Chandra, Zee Media founder and former Rajya Sabha MP, and the shift in his stance on the central government. She explains why his recent remarks on the dip in India’s rank on the World Press Freedom Index and the SEBI’s investigation into his alleged financial improprieties hint at souring terms between Chandra and the Modi government.
Ashna delves into her recent report on the gender gap in owning digital devices, especially mobile phones. She says that this digital gap faced by many young women in rural India, due to conservative mindsets and stereotypes, impacts their day-to-day lives.
Tune in.
