As we come to the end of 2025, how do we assess the state of our mainstream media? Can it sink lower than it already has? It can. Yet there is a glimmer of hope. ✍️ @kalpana1947 newslaundry.com/2025/12/22/tv-…
As 2025 comes to an end, how to we rate the Indian media? In my view, while there's much to despair, there's also hope in the work of many independent journalists @mrajshekhar @NidhiSuresh_ @sukanyashantha @ZamanRokibuz_ @AnganaCk

Important series - this has serious implications on justice, security - all our lives, actually. Must-read 👇🏾
For 'The Forced Guilt Project', we mined sparse NIA case data, travelled across eight states, and spoke to many who pleaded guilty or resisted. This investigative series was done in collaboration with @pulitzercenter Illustrations by @PariplabV

Katti, he explains, meant a reduced sentence. “Gunah kabool karo aur saza katwa do (Accept the crime and get the sentence reduced).” What does katti really mean? @sukanyashantha explains. The First Time the NIA Had a ‘Plead Guilty’ m.thewire.in/article/rights… via @thewire_In
“It was a slow process,” says Mirza. He further claims that the NIA officials would sometimes meet them at court or visit them in jail. “All of this had to be done quietly, without the knowledge of our families and also the lawyers,” Mirza alleges. 7/7 thewire.in/rights/the-fir…
Ambalapatta proposed that the NIA should push for a life term at least for a few named as prime accused in the case. But eventually the agency made a decision in favour of Rehman’s idea. 6/7 @sukanyashantha | @pulitzercenter
Akram recalls a meeting with NIA prosecutor Arjun Ambalapatta, who shot down their proposal. “Even if the agency offers leniency, I’ll push for life sentences for all,” Ambalapatta told them. 5/7 @sukanyashantha | @pulitzercenter
“The idea came from the accused,” he claimed. “We had to take the matter to our headquarters and also to the home ministry. The convincing was not easy,” he says. 4/7 @sukanyashantha | @pulitzercenter
A senior officer involved in the probe and wishes to stay anonymous told The Wire that the agency until that point had not viewed guilty pleas as a path to conviction. 3/7 @sukanyashantha | @pulitzercenter
Today, the NIA is securing a conviction in more than 40% of its cases through the plead guilty route. But at that time “their (the NIA’s) immediate response to our proposal was a flat no”, Rehman says. 2/7 @sukanyashantha | @pulitzercenter
Obaid-ur-Rehman learnt of ‘katti’ – or pleading guilty to secure a shorter sentence – while in Tihar jail. Read here: thewire.in/rights/the-fir… @sukanyashantha | @pulitzercenter
Sharing my article, “The Prison of Caste” in @epw_in, where I situate the Sukanya Shantha judgment on prisons within the Court’s broader anti-discrimination jurisprudence. ~1
Actually- it is all thanks to the credible and forthright work that you do. I don’t want to say “brave” because journalists need not have to be “brave”.
Incredibly grateful to my editor @svaradarajan @seemay and others who stood with me through this 20-hr ordeal. I just got my phone back. Gratitude 🙏
