किसी भी सरकार के बारे में आम धारणा ये है कि जब तक कोई आपदा न आए, सोच और नीतियों में बदलाव तक़रीबन नामुमकिन है। लेकिन सच काफ़ी अलग है। सरकार में संस्थागत बदलाव आ सकता है और वो भी सरकार के भीतर से।तो सरकार की सोच में बदलाव कब और कैसे आता है? इस एपिसोड में हमने बात की हिमांशु झा (@himmijha) से जिन्होंने सूचना के अधिकार अधिनियम के ज़रिए इस सवाल का जवाब उनकी किताब Capturing Institutional Change: The Case of the Right to Information Act in India में उजागर किया है।October 12 marked sixteen years since the RTI Act was passed.

सर्दी के दिन आते ही दिल्ली की वायु प्रदूषण समस्या की खबरें आने लगती है और कुछ ही दिनों में ऐसी ख़बरें गायब भी हो जाती है। लेकिन वायु प्रदूषण पूरे भारत के लिए एक चुनौती है जिसका खात्मा समाज, सरकार, और बाज़ार के तालमेल से ही संभव हो पायेगा। तो इस बार हमने बात की शरद गुट्टीकुंडा से, जो Urban Emissions के संस्थापक है। ये शोध संस्था पिछले कई वर्षों से भारत के वायु प्रदूषण का गहन विश्लेषण करती आ रही है।Why is the air in many Indian cities, towns, and villages polluted? What are the major constituents of air pollution? To what extent are air purifiers helpful? This is a conversation on air pollution in India - the challenge and the potential solutions in the Indian context. Joining us in this episode is scientist Sarath Guttikunda. Sarath is the founder of Urban Emissions, a ​​repository of information, research, and analysis related to air pollution.For more:Urban Emissions website Sarath’s articles in The Wire on various aspects of air pollution in IndiaMSP is Maximum Smog Price by PranayPuliyabaazi is on these plat

भारत की अर्थव्यवस्था में महिलाओं के योगदान पर अध्ययन करने की सख़्त ज़रुरत है। एक ओर सुनने में आता है कि भारत की महिला श्रम भागीदारी दर साउदी अरब जैसे रूढ़िवादी राज्य के करीब पहुँच चुकी है तो दूसरी ओर कई भारतीय महिलाएँ अर्थव्यवस्था के हर क्षेत्र में नयी ऊँचाइयाँ छू रही हैं। तो इस एपिसोड में हमने महिला श्रम के कई पहलुओं पर चर्चा की अर्थशास्त्री, प्रोफेसर अश्विनी देशपांडे से, जो इस विषय पर दो दशकों से शोध कर रही हैं।What do the low women labour force participation rates in India indicate? How has COVID-19 impacted women labour in India? What can the Indian state, society, and markets do to correct the gender gap? These are some questions we discuss in this Puliyabaazi with Dr Ashwini Deshpande (@AshwDeshpande), Professor of Economics and the Founding Director of Centre for Economic Data and Analysis at Ashoka University.For more:Puliyabaazi episode on gender discrimination with Mahima VashishtThe Norms That Matter, a paper exploring the distribution of women's work between income generation, expenditure-saving, and

एक पेंशन का हमारे पॉपुलर कल्चर में बड़ा महत्व है। बुढ़ापे में पेंशन का आश्वासन एक बड़ा कारण है जिसकी वजह से हर सरकारी नौकरी के लिए आवेदकों की भीड़ उमड़ पड़ती है। तो पेन्शन - ये संकल्पना आख़िर शुरू कब से हुई? सरकार कम्पनियों पर पेन्शन देना बाध्य क्यों करती है? भारत में कितने प्रकार के पेन्शन है? आगे जाकर ये पेन्शन क्या रूप धारण कर सकते हैं? ये One Rank One Pension (OROP) है क्या? ऐसे कुछ सवालों की मदद से हमने पुलियाबाज़ी की अर्थशास्त्री रेणुका साने के साथ। रेणुका पेंशन फाइनेंस में महारथ रखती है। इस एपिसोड में उन्होंने सरकारी पेंशन प्रणाली का विस्तार में ब्यौरा दिया है। The word “pension” is synonymous with old-age security. After the second world war, the scope and reach of this financial instrument have expanded all over the world. But does this mechanism make sense in the new economy? What are the pension schemes that the Government of India runs? Can the Indian government afford a scheme like One Rank One Pension (OROP)? In this episode, economist Renuka Sané (@resanering) discusses the economics of pensions in d

आये दिन ऐसा लगता है सांप्रदायिक मन-मुटाव बढ़ता जा रहा है। हिन्दू-मुसलमान पुलियाबाज़ी सिर्फ बयानबाज़ी रह गयी है। तो इस बार हमने बात की लेखक और सम्पादक ग़ज़ाला वहाब (@ghazalawahab) से जिनकी नयी किताब Born a Muslim भारतीय इस्लाम पर रौशनी डालती है और कई मनघडंत धारणाओं को ख़ारिज करती है। Tolerance between religions has been a defining value of Indianness. And yet, this sentiment has been shaken in recent years. WhatsApp groups are flooded with forwards spreading blatantly false narratives with an intent to communalize Indian society. So in this episode, we speak with author Ghazala Wahab about her latest book Born a Muslim. Ghazala discusses Indian Islam and busts many myths that have flourished because of declining contact between communities. For more:Ghazala Wahab’s book Born a MuslimInfluence of Islam on Indian Culture, book by Tara ChandA History of the Arab Peoples, book by Albert HouraniGhazala’s Manthan talk on YouTubeEp. 53: सीएए और एनआरसी: इंसानों का डिमॉनेटाईसेशनPuliyabaazi is on these platforms:Twitter: htt

१९९१ में भारत में एक सामाजिक और आर्थिक क्रांति आई। आर्थिक सुधारों ने 25 करोड़ भारतियों को गरीबी से निकाला और भारत को विश्व भर में एक नयी पहचान दी। इस क्रांति को आए पिछले महीने ३० साल हो गए। तो इसी विषय पर पुलियाबाज़ी करने लौट रही है अर्थशास्त्री श्रुति राजगोपालन (@srajagopalan)। This July marked thirty years of India’s economic liberalization reforms. These reforms transformed India. The resultant growth in the economy is single-handedly responsible for the reduction in India’s poverty. So this Puliyabaazi is about life before 1991, why India chose the path it did after independence, and the reforms that remained unfinished in 1991. Joining us is Shruti Rajagopalan (@srajagopalan), Senior Research Fellow at the Mercatus Center. She and her colleagues have started The 1991 Project to document essays, data visualizations, oral histories, podcasts, and policy papers demystifying the Indian economy and the 1991 reforms.
