#ExpressOpinion | I was blown away by how secure everyone was in their own skin, with their mundus, and their plaits, and their nicely oiled hair, not trying to be anyone else, not telling us to be like them.

Keralam alag hai!
Different faiths, diverse languages, yet one shared humanity. When Deepika Singh, a journalist from Uttar Pradesh at The Indian Express, writes about finding a sense of belonging in Keralam, she captures what generations have lived by: Here, diversity is not merely tolerated; it is celebrated.
Thank you, @DeepikaLeo, for capturing the soul of a land where humanity is our faith and harmony is our strength.
That is Keralam. Welcome to the New Era of God's Own Country.

"If any process results in disenfranchising millions and millions of Indian citizens, making them second-class citizens in their own country, in the sense of being citizens without voting rights, such a process is intrinsically arbitrary."
"No amount of whataboutery can justify it."
A sitting judge of the Supreme Court, Justice Ujjal Bhuyan, said Sunday.

Express Impact
The widest-reaching impact of @IndianExpress' Election Commission investigation yet.
10 days after our investigation into the rupture inside the Election Commission, the poll watchdog has told all 20 states where SIR is over to run a “special drive” to bring back voters “left out” of the rolls.
State CEOs have been told to identify voters deleted as unmapped or for “logical discrepancy” and that BLOs should go house to house to help bring them back. They will use Form 6 to apply for inclusion of such “left out” voters.
And the question added to Form 6 in July, asking whether your parents were on the last SIR roll, which one Commissioner called “unauthorised/illegal,” now applies only during the “SIR phase.”
What does that mean? In the 20 states where SIR is over, “left out” voters and first-time voters will use the plain statutory Form 6, without the question seeking details of their family’s link to the last SIR.
Reporting with @vallabhozarkarr.

It's been heartening to see our investigation into the inner workings of the Election Commission travel so far this week. Thank you for reading, sharing, arguing with it.
Now the harder ask.
Work like this takes months, and it doesn't happen on its own. If you believe there should be someone reading the notes nobody else reads, asking the questions nobody answers, and reporting what they find, fairly and accurately, however uncomfortable, then this is the moment to say so.

Even if the ECI does nothing beyond dismissing the 14 objections as “routine disagreements”, I’d like to believe that today’s story will, at the very least, make the CEC think twice before acting without the consent of his colleagues for the rest of his term.
Congratulations to @RitikaChopra__ , Chief Editor @rajkamaljha and his team, all of whom I am blessed to call colleagues.

Hats off!

The Election Commission of India is under fire like never before.
The SIR has struck 13 crore names off draft rolls, putting the EC at the centre of intense public debate over its role in deciding who gets to vote — and who doesn’t.
HOWEVER, what nobody knew: through that same period, some of the sharpest questions were being asked from inside.
Out today, after months of work. Our #ExpressInvestigation 🧵

People discussing whether the story is “confirmed” or “real”, three things:
1. This is the kind of story that access-chasing reporters will not get and there’s a reason why
2. The story has given us *FOURTEEN* communications as proof
3. When you have nothing good to say, 🤐
