Description
First, we speak to The Indian Express' Mohamed Thaver about yet another comedy show controversy, after a crowd-work clip from comedian Pranit More’s live performance triggered backlash, disciplinary action against audience members involved, and even an FIR by Maharashtra Cyber.
Next, The Indian Express' Sophiya Nathew talks about Delhi’s water crisis, after residents in several parts of South Delhi reported foul-smelling, contaminated water and fresh questions were raised about ageing pipelines, leaks and urban pressure on the city’s infrastructure. (14:00)
And in the end, we take a look at NCERT’s new Class 9 arts textbook, where a digitally altered image of the iconic Dancing Girl of Mohenjo-daro has sparked a debate over censorship and how history is being presented to students. (27:00)
