Last week's newsletter picks out reportage that goes beyond the headlines and tries to explain various facets of society. This week we have curated a deeply researched report on the true 'Kerala story', the digitisation of India's legal system and a profile of the under-rated Axar Patel.
If you have been checking out our curations for the past five months, one pattern emerges. We have constantly recommended longform pieces that go behind the headline and try to explain different facets of society. And of course, reportage that has interesting facts and is well written.
This week’s focus builds on that. My first recommendation is a deeply researched report that debunks the malicious narrative built by the so-called ‘Kerala Files’. Do check that out.
My other curation is about how India’s legal system is being digitised for easier access, but the elephant in the room is the shortage of judges.
Staying with India’s legal system, there’s also a piece on the misuse of India’s anti-terror law and how it impacts ordinary citizens
On the international front, we have a piece reported from Iran, which captures the protests that rocked the country some months ago.
For the cricket fans, I’d recommend the profile of India’s T20I vice-captain Axar Patel, an immensely likeable sportsperson.
Happy reading!
