The Election Commission of India is under fire like never before.
The SIR has struck 13 crore names off draft rolls, putting the EC at the centre of intense public debate over its role in deciding who gets to vote — and who doesn’t.
HOWEVER, what nobody knew: through that same period, some of the sharpest questions were being asked from inside.
Out today, after months of work. Our #ExpressInvestigation 🧵

It's done.
After years in the making, Shehan Karunatilaka's next novel, The Man Behind The Curtain, is on its way into the world.
You can buy (and read) 500-600 translated books instead of the IPhone Duo, and every single one of them can be flipped open.

Is Gandhi the most misunderstood individual of the 20th century? The man we know as the "Father of the Nation" has provoked the most furious arguments. Having studied Gandhi for decades, I am delighted to announce the publication of my new book, ARGUMENTS WITH GANDHI, where I examine the engagement with his ideas of a range of global figures, from Ambedkar and Nehru to Mandela and Martin Luther King.

It's publication day! The Guardian called it a "masterpiece"; the Times said it was "exemplary"; the Spectator said it was "the most enjoyable work of literary criticism I've read for many years." It's got a rating on goodreads of 4.88. Off you go: John Sandoe opens at 9.30.
