All Indians Matter is a digital home for conversations with and about India on the issues that truly matter. For most of our post-Independence years, this was done by the news media. However, in recent times, the media have been found wanting. As a result, the issues that should be highlighted are sidelined and the voices that should find a megaphone are muffled. This podcast is an effort to engage with everyone who cares about India, its Constitution, its liberal and secular values.
All Indians Matter is the creation of Ashraf Engineer, who was a senior journalist with some of India’s leading newspapers for 17 years. His media work included a stint in 2011 in Afghanistan, where he trained and mentored journalists. He subsequently quit the news media and is now part of the brand communication industry.

Income inequality worse now than during the Raj
The top 1% of Indians earns 22.6% of the national income and holds 40.1% of the wealth. This inequality is among the worst in the world, finds a recent study.
This ‘Billionaire Raj’ has been pronounced since Narendra Modi came to power, the report said, and is founded on “an authoritarian government with centralisation of decision-making power, coupled with a growing nexus between big business and government”. There is an urgent need to redistribute wealth through a reform of the tax code, a ‘super tax’ on the richest Indians and massive social investments.

‘Great opportunity for urban startups to partner with rural micro-entrepreneurs’
Micro-entrepreneurship can be one of the solutions to poverty and a means of sustainable income generation in developing countries like India.
Central and state governments have launched several programmes to aid micro-entrepreneurship but has enough been done and what more is needed to raise income and employment levels, especially in rural India?
Amit Patjoshi, CEO of Palladium India, which runs micro-entrepreneurship programmes, speaks to All Indians Matter. -
How a widening Middle East conflict would affect India
If the Iran-Israel conflagration expands into a regional conflict, it would affect India on multiple levels – from energy security to input costs of various industries, inflation and stock prices, not to mention strategic interests.

The rise and rise of cancer in India
A recent report warns that India is on its way to becoming the “cancer capital of the world”. While tobacco and alcohol abuse remain among the major drivers, artificial preservatives, junk food, cellphone towers, food adulteration and exposure to pollutants are leading causes too.
The solution spans not just more screening facilities but also greater awareness and the use of data for evidence-based policy decisions.

What is the Indus Waters Treaty and why does it matter?
Signed in 1960, the Indus Waters Treaty gives India control over the Ravi, Sutlej and Beas rivers, while Pakistan manages the Indus, Jhelum and Chenab. Now, as populations burgeon and climate control wreaks havoc on water resources, India says the treaty must be renegotiated.
The Indus Basin aquifer is the second-most stressed in the world but on it rely millions of Indians and Pakistanis. It’s their water security at stake as the two countries tussle over the agreement.

‘Right wing knows that if you create an artificial grievance, you can rule forever’
The rise of right-wing nationalism and intense polarisation is defining political debates and electoral outcomes across the world. So, many believe that the outcome of the US and Indian elections will be make or break for global democracy. What does the hard swing towards the right mean for all of us?
Rohit Tripathi, a policy advocate on a wide range of public issues spanning the halls of the US Congress to policymakers in India, speaks to All Indians Matter.

Audio quality
The audio quality was substandard, it needs a major revamp. Content was somehow okay, but the average audio quality could not keep me glued to this episode for long.
Totally Biased views.
Only one sided narrative. Full on time waste.
