Karnataka's final electoral roll, published on October 27, lists 4.55 crore voters — 99.32 lakh fewer than before the Special Intensive Revision (SIR). Chief Electoral Officer V Anbukumar has urged eligible citizens whose names are missing to apply through Form 6. The revision covered all 224 Assembly constituencies. Before SIR, Karnataka had 5.54 crore registered electors. The draft roll published in August contained around 4.46 crore names, following an enumeration exercise that classified many electors as absent, shifted, deceased or duplicated. During the subsequent claims-and-objections stage, officials reported 10.08 lakh additions, 1.88 lakh deletions and nearly 8.97 lakh modifications. The CEO also said 61,867 electors were found ineligible following notices and hearings. The Election Commission has said the electoral roll will continue to be updated. Eligible voters can check the final list through official channels and apply for inclusion if their names are missing. The key distinction is that a reduction in registered electors does not, by itself, establish how many eligible citizens were wrongly excluded. Ensuring that the roll is accurate must go hand in hand with making the correction process accessible.

During a conversation on Impact Stories (@Impactstories_podcast), actor Nandish Singh Sandhu shares his perspective on unsolicited advice, personal boundaries, and why people should be allowed to ask for guidance rather than have it imposed on them. 👉🏼 Why You Should Give Advice Only When Asked Nandish explains that advice is more valuable when someone genuinely wants it. Using the example of offering someone food they don't want, he highlights how even well-intentioned suggestions can go unappreciated when they don't align with a person's needs. He also questions the tendency to over-pamper children, emphasising the importance of understanding what someone actually wants before stepping in to help. 👉🏼 The Logical Indian’s Perspective Helping others also means respecting their choices and understanding their needs. While guidance can be valuable, offering it at the right time and without imposing it can encourage healthier relationships and greater independence. Do you think advice should be given only when someone asks for it? #NandishSinghSandhu #LifeLessons #Parenting #PersonalBoundaries #TheLogicalIndian [NandishSinghSandhu, UnsolicitedAdvice, Parenting, PersonalBoundaries, TheLogicalIndian]

What if we questioned the purity of our medicines as closely as we check gold, milk and sneakers? Tata 1mg’s Sawaal Uthao campaign used pop-ups selling fake gold and milk to highlight a critical blind spot in consumer behaviour. By connecting the idea to medicine QR codes, the campaign encouraged people to look beyond trust and check information about their medicines’ sourcing, storage and delivery. Because when it comes to healthcare, asking questions matters. (Smart Campaigns, Tata 1mg campaign, Sawaal Uthao campaign, healthcare awareness, The Logical Indian)
