Hello,
The death of Stan Swamy, the activist, has raised a storm of emotions across civil society. A year prior to his incarceration, he feelingly talked to India Development Review about how he came to identify and take up the cause of the tribals of Jharkhand and dwelled on their lives, their struggles and their aspirations. A tale retold, to understand the man and his work.
The loss of the activist and the manner of his death, argues The India Forum, is a stinging indictment of how we have lost our moral compass as a society, which we need to collectively and urgently regain.
When the lockdown struck and tribal children in Odisha were stranded without access to online tools, a unique experiment in community radio came to their rescue. Down To Earth reports that the Dhimsa Community Radio Center broadcast educational lessons to over 2,000 students in 62 villages of six panchayats in Koraput and Lamptaput blocks.
Khabar Lahariya's report on the struggles of the citizens of Kolamjara village in Chitrakoot district of Madhya Pradesh for water led to the installation of handpumps for a community of over 300 families.
And, in its ‘Making of Indian IT’ series, Live History India speaks to Nandan Nilekani, the co-founder of Infosys and the man who led India’s digital transformation through the Aadhaar unique identification system, and maps India’s digital future.
For these stories and more this week, please read on.
Warmly,
Sunil Rajshekhar

The death of Stan Swamy, the tribal activist, says The India Forum, was a collective failure of institutions, the government and society which has left moral wounds in its wake. The true tribute to Stan Swamy’s life and work is to reimagine and reclaim some of the moral ground that has been lost.
