किती फरक?

२९ डिसेंबर २०१५ च्या ह्या बातम्या: म्हणजे एकच बातमी, तीन सोर्सेस

 १. हिंदुस्तान टाईम्सची बातमी (२९ डिसेंबर स. १०.४५ वाजता)

 २. इंडियन एक्प्रेसची बातमी (२९ डिसेंबर स. १०.४५ वाजता)
३. टाईम्स ऑफ इंडियाची बातमी (२९ डिसेंबर स. १०.४५ वाजता)

 टाईम्सची बातमी सर्वात विस्तृत आहे.
इंडियन एक्सप्रेसने 'girl allegedly gang-raped' असा शब्दप्रयोग केलेला आहे. हिंदुस्तान टाईम्स आणि टाईम्सने 'teen gang-raped by army men' अशा अर्थाचा शब्दप्रयोग केलेला आहे.

 हिंदुस्तान टाईम्स नुसार - Social workers found her unconscious on the train when it stopped in Jharkhand’s Madhupur station

 इंडियन एक्सप्रेसनुसार - The girl got down from the train at Madhupur station in Deoghar district of Jharkhand on Monday and informed railway police  

 टाईम्स ऑफ इंडियानुसार - The girl had run away from home on Sunday. Her family informed police who alerted the railways. The officials at Howrah station pulled off a near miracle — they identified the girl out of tens of thousands of faces captured on CCTV. She was spotted boarding the military coach of Amritsar Express that had left Howrah at 1.50pm.

Why exit polls got it so wrong?

Results of India general elections 2024 have thrown a surprise no one saw coming. NDA has secured a majority but BJP on its own has failed to secure the majority, unlike last two general elections.                No exit poll predicted this scenario. As per exit polls, BJP was going to reach majority mark on its own and NDA was going to win about 350 seats. But BJP has won 240 seats and NDA has won 292 seats. The results seem to be beyond the confidence intervals projected for the prediction. What does that say about exit polls? There are multiple possible answers to this question. I will rule out conspiracy answers at the outset. I am not going ahead with argument that exit polls were staged to help some agents. One interesting possibility that I might want to consider is false answers from voters. Respondent’s response to exit poll enumerator can be a strategic choice if respondent thinks that revealing what she truly voted is not in her best interests. If she believes that many

Haunting spectre of humid summers

3 months of the summer of 2023 have passed so far. Compared to last year, this summer has been less scorching. The temperatures in Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) were around 40℃ in March and April 2022. This year, it was only in April, temperatures rose to that uncomfortable level. March 2023 was surprisingly pleasant this time, more so because we anticipated something harsher. After the 23 rd April 2023, temperature have dropped by few degrees and most importantly it has become somewhat tolerable again. But this summer has left an indelible mark on our memory due to several deaths caused by heatstroke on 16 th April 2023 . Deaths of heatstroke is not the possibility one typically associates with MMR. We have train track deaths and reckless driving for such association. (Perhaps we add ‘mauled by stray dogs’ as well, if not now then in near future!) Those deaths reminded me of climate fiction ‘ The Ministry for the Future ’ by Kim Stanley Robinson. This novel opens with a clima

Balia suffers and Mumbai stares

  More than 100 have died in Balia and Deoria district of Uttar Pradesh in last few days . These districts have experienced heatwave conditions. IMD has given orange alert warning (40℃ to 45℃) for these as well as other districts in Eastern Uttar Pradesh. For those who are aware, Kim Stanley Robinson’s Climate fiction ‘The Ministry for the Future’ opens with a stunning description of heatwave related deaths in Uttar Pradesh. What is happening now in Deoria and Balia district has uncanny resemblance to what author has imagined. In some sense, we have been made aware of what awaits us, though we have decided to bury it because it is inconvenient. Even now, these deaths are not officially attributed to heatwave. Here is what I think have happened. It is a hypothesis rather than a statement with some proof. Balia and Deoria are districts near Ganga, a large water body. Rising temperatures have caused greater evaporation of this water body leading to excessive humidity in the surround
