## Resource

First, we speak to The Indian Express' Apurva Vishwanath about a Supreme Court bench that expressed reservations about another bench's decision to deny bail to Umar Khalid and Sharjeel Imam, and what this means for undertrial rights under UAPA. Next, we talk to The Indian Express' Asad Rehman about Rahul Gandhi unveiling a statue of Dalit freedom fighter Veera Pasi in Raebareli, and what it reveals about how political parties are increasingly invoking Dalit icons ahead of Uttar Pradesh elections. (13:30) And in the end, we look at the case of Dolly Vadalia, a 26-year-old woman from Rajkot who holds an Aadhaar card, voter ID, PAN card, and a Master's degree from an Indian university but has no recognised nationality and cannot be issued a passport. (20:10) Hosted by Ichha Sharma Produced and written by Shashank Bhargava and Ichha Sharma Edited and mixed by Suresh Pawar
