  • ‘Nehru’s socialism was not a mistake… Socialism may be in crisis, but capitalism is too’

    ‘Nehru’s socialism was not a mistake… Socialism may be in crisis, but capitalism is too’

    When I think of the evolution of Indian news media, I divide it into phases: post-independence, a nation finding its feet, the age of despair when the promises of freedom seemed distant, the Emergency, the political churn that followed, the economic reforms, the digital revolution, and so on. There would have been very few who’d have seen it all first-hand. All Indians Matter is privileged to have one such person on the show. Meet the amazing Rami Chhabra, a media veteran who recently released her debut novel ‘Becoming the Storm’. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • Rising cases of cancer among the young sound alarm

    Rising cases of cancer among the young sound alarm
    2025/04/11
    Study after study points to a “generational shift” in cancer cases. In other words, there is a rising incidence of cancer among Millennials and Gen Z. These findings bring into sharp perspective the challenges of modern lifestyles and diseases. Researchers say dietary choices, sedentary lifestyles and exposure to environmental pollutants are among the major reasons for the rise. Please listen to the latest episode of All Indians Matter.

  • ‘Who is Namdeo Dhasal?’ Censors’ ignorance a chance to remind ourselves of him

    ‘Who is Namdeo Dhasal?’ Censors’ ignorance a chance to remind ourselves of him
    2025/04/04
    Censor board officials, while reviewing a movie on legendary Dalit poet-activist Namdeo Dhasal, asked who he was, stunning the filmmaker and sparking political and social outrage. Dhasal gave voice to not just the Dalit experience but also that of those forced to the fringes of society. His was the voice of all the oppressed. Dhasal’s words transformed into action which, in turn, transformed into inspiration. That inspiration lives on for millions. Please listen to the latest episode of All Indians Matter.

  • India and the world need WHO more than ever

    India and the world need WHO more than ever
    2025/03/28
    President Trump’s decision to withdraw from the WHO could weaken the world’s ability to respond to modern health challenges. More than ever, this is a time to collaborate on disease prevention and management. The milestones WHO has achieved while working with India are a great example of what can be achieved, although a tremendous amount is left to be done.

  • Corporate debt write-offs: privatising profits, socialising losses

    Corporate debt write-offs: privatising profits, socialising losses
    2025/03/21
    Corporate loan write-offs are justified as necessary to improve banks’ financial situation and to stimulate economic activity. However, they increase the fiscal deficit and government debt, reducing the money available for social welfare and development programmes. The burden is borne by taxpayers and we now also have to make do with fewer public services. Large loan waivers also distort the market by handing corporate houses an unfair advantage – they not only access cheap credit, but avoid accountability. Smaller businesses, meanwhile, get no such relaxations and have to pay higher interest rates to make up for the loss caused by the write-offs. It’s a process that reeks of corruption and has no moral root. Please listen to the latest episode of All Indians Matter. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • How India came to rely on Russian crude, why that could change and what that means for you

    How India came to rely on Russian crude, why that could change and what that means for you
    2025/03/07
    After the invasion of Ukraine and the subsequent sanctions, India took the opportunity to start buying cheap Russian crude. From 12% earlier, Russia went on to account for 40% of India’s oil imports. Now, fresh US sanctions mean our days of buying cheap Russian crude could be over. If India’s oil import bill increases, so will inflation. Please listen to the latest episode of All Indians Matter. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
