  • Brilliant all-star cast

    Ep 500 was a celebration of amazing journalists doing amazing things. Great camaraderie, deep respect for each other. Nice to get a ringside view of the process.

    I’d recommend videotaping and uploading as well. It may be audio but video complements it well.

Who Must File Their ITR by August 31?
Q: What are common mistakes to avoid?
Misclassifying trading income as capital gains, failing to report all sources, not reconciling records with AIS/26AS, and delaying filing can lead to defective returns, losses in carry-forwards, and penalties.
Who Must File Their ITR by August 31?
Q: Who should file by August 31st under the new rules?

How Prashant Kishor Shocked the BJP
Q: What explains Prashant Kishor's breakthrough in Bakipur despite a history of BJP dominance?
A combination of Kishor's ground game, targeted messaging against incumbents, and a reconfiguration of the urban voter base, coupled with sympathetic shifts among RJD and BJP defectors, helped Jan Suraaj capture a seat that had long favored the BJP.
