“Afghanistan finds itself at the cross- roads once again”. n the last twenty years that the US has waged its war on terror in Afghanistan, this statement was written at least a hundred times over. However, the sheer frequen- Icy of its utterance did not necessarily signal that swift changes were occur- ring on the Afghan landscape. Contrarily, it demonstrated how little things had changed on the ground, so much so that this rhetoric became a stubborn editorial refrain. Today, the situation in Afghanistan reminds us more of the same. In fact, with the complete takeover of Afghanistan by the Taliban, life has come a full circle for millions of Afghans. On the 15th of August 2021, as India marked its 75th Independence Day, a quiet Sunday became extraordi- narily eventful courtesy of Kabul’s easy and swift capitulation to the Taliban. Sitting in New Delhi, it was both shocking and tragic for me to witness the “imminent and inevitable” takeover of Afghanistan become a reality for this nebulous nation-state, expelling lakhs of people into spontaneous camps scat- tered across Kabul. But for all the safety they thought they might find in the national capital, it soon disappeared without a trace.

ental housing is an integral part of a robust housing market. Making rental housing accessi- ble and affordable can facilitate migration-led development and Rmovement of talent across the rural- urban spectrum. Europe sees a healthy inter-country and cross border migration with some of the largest percentages of rental housing with Switzerland leading the way at about 59%. India has always struggled with pro- viding rental housing solutions to low- income families. Regressive policies and an over-inflated real estate market have made residential rentals an unviable proposition for businesses. A high risk-free rate and high real estate prices reduce the net yield on residential rental to as low as 2-3% across the country as brought out in the Knight Frank-Khaitan & CO report circa 2019. The market relies largely on capital appreciation for returns. The problem is further magnified for the low-income seg- ment as the capital appreciation of such assets is much lower. This leads to high- er rental costs making it unaffordable for the urban poor, especially migrants, to find decent homes. As a result, informal settle- ments and overcrowded accommodation concessionaire is to upgrade, operate and Assuming 60,000 as debt at 10% for a per month as a cross-subsidy from the rental rates, the scheme falls short of being proliferate in cities across the country with maintain the building during the period tenure of 10 years, the cost would be 1,000 commercial portion, the concessionaire a more market-based intervention.

eptember 2, 2021, gave me San awful shock that will linger forever. After finishing the editions last night, I had woken up around 9.30 am only to get a vague SMS “My deepest condolences” from an old journalist friend. I thought I would call up the person to know who he was taking about during my morning walk for which I was getting ready. Suddenly the phone rang. It was our photographer, Ranjan Dimri, who asked me “When you are reaching the cremation ground.” I was speechless when I enquired who he was speak- ing about. A distressing scene con- jured up in my mind. My 17- year-long association with my editor, Dr Chandan Mitra, would end so suddenly seemed a nightmare. It was too early for him to leave us forever at just 66. But then death is the only eternal truth. I rushed to the cremation ground to have the last glimpse of the great editor who helped me greatly to groom me. He was the only reason I didn’t accept the offer of job from a top national daily on the last day of joining about a decade back. September 2 was filled with vivid memories I kept hugging all the day. Would an editor-owner of a media organisation ever allow a subordinate journalist to even think of taking a stand (wittingly or unwittingly) con- trary to his/her and place it on the record on the same space? It is next to impossible for two basic reasons: First, it is an utter disrespect to the editor and the editorial position to go off at a tangent, and second, it is fraught with the danger of los- ing your job. However, it was very much possible under the editorship of Dr Chandan Mitra, an editor par excel- lence.
