February 26 From Census to Crime to AQI: What the Modi Government Isn’t Telling You | The Quint
What do the population census, crime data, hate crimes, household consumption, India's real Gross Domestic Product (GDP), employment, Covid-19 deaths, Air Quality Index (AQI) and the Congress' Vote Chori allegations have in common? A pattern of data denial under the Narendra Modi-led NDA government.
In many cases, data has not been collected for years. In others, it is missing, calculated using methods that diverge from global standards, rejected when it comes from international agencies, or tightly gatekept.
But no data does not mean no crisis. Without reliable numbers, how is the government identifying vulnerable groups or ensuring taxpayer-funded welfare schemes reach the intended beneficiaries?

January 28 Sneakers, Concerts, and iPhones: Inside Gen Z’s Financial Choices | The Quint
India’s Gen Z is a mystery for any economist. They make less money in real inflation-adjusted terms than the previous generation, the millennials, but they spend much more on consumption and experiences than any other generation did. While their parents saved to build assets, Gen Z has very little savings. In fact, they often have huge amounts of debt—credit card payments that they have rolled over, or personal loans they have taken—without a concrete plan on how to pay them back. The reason for this can be encapsulated in one term: Financial Nihilism. In a brand-new episode of 'Caught in the Middle', senior business journalist Aunindyo Chakravarty explains why Gen Zs don't believe in conventional financial wisdom, instead choosing to learn everything about investments from Instagram influencers.
