Why doesn't the RSS register itself as an organisation? The debate may be making headlines today, but it began more than 50 years ago when an RSS insider took the organisation to court.
In this episode of Let Me Explain, Pooja Prasanna traces the legal history of the RSS through court records, charity proceedings and tax disputes.
How did the RSS describe itself before different authorities? Why did it amend its Constitution in 1972? And what do these legal battles reveal about its structure, finances and accountability?

Tamil Nadu politics is going through a major shift.
For decades, the DMK and AIADMK dominated the state’s political landscape. But Vijay’s entry through TVK is beginning to disrupt that balance.
As AIADMK MLAs resign and move toward TVK, conversations around “horse trading” have entered Tamil Nadu politics in a big way. But what exactly is horse trading? How do political defections work in India? And why does every party desperately want MLAs?
In this episode of Let Me Explain, Pooja Prasanna breaks down the history of political defections in India, the Anti-Defection Law, Karnataka’s Operation Kamala and why Tamil Nadu may be entering a completely new political phase.

CBSE’s digital evaluation rollout was supposed to modernise India’s examination system. Now serious questions are being raised about accountability. Why did CBSE roll out the system without proper regional trials? Why are ethical hackers alleging vulnerabilities in the platform? And what role did Coempt Edu Teck, the company linked by many to the on-screen marking system, play in this rollout? In this episode of Let Me Explain, Pooja Prasanna examines the controversy.

For years, India’s economy was projected as one of the world’s fastest-growing success stories. But long before the Iran-Israel-US war pushed oil prices higher, warning signs had already begun to appear - falling wages, weak demand, slowing exports, struggling MSMEs, and a weakening rupee.
So did the war trigger India’s economic stress? Or did it simply expose deeper problems that were already building beneath the surface?
In this episode of Let Me Explain, Pooja Prasanna breaks down why economists are worried about India’s economy, what the falling rupee and rising fuel prices really mean, and whether India’s growth story is becoming increasingly fragile.

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu wants people to have more children. The AP government is now offering Rs 30,000 for a third child and Rs 40,000 for a fourth.
At first, this may sound like just another political headline. But behind it lies a real anxiety shared by many southern states — falling fertility rates, ageing populations, shrinking workforces, and fears of losing political representation in the future.
But can governments really solve these problems by simply asking people to have more babies?
From Andhra’s demographic fears and delimitation politics to women’s unpaid labour and collapsing public infrastructure, this episode of Let Me Explain looks at the bigger questions behind Naidu’s population push.

BJP leader Bandi Sanjay’s son Bandi Bhagirath was booked for allegedly sexually harassing a minor. But the case has raised several disturbing questions.
Why was there a delay in action? Why did a counter FIR appear first? Did the police follow procedure? And why did sections of the media and social media begin targeting the minor?
In this episode of Let Me Explain, Pooja Prasanna breaks down the timeline, the police response, the political pressure, and the dangerous media narrative surrounding the case.

Kerala’s 2026 Assembly results may look like a return to its familiar pattern of alternating power between the LDF and UDF. But look closer, and this isn’t just a routine correction.
The LDF fell from 99 seats to 35. The CPI(M) dropped to 26, its lowest in years. 13 ministers lost. Strongholds flipped. Even Dharmadam saw unusual vulnerability.
But this wasn’t just anger or anti-incumbency. It also looked like a targeted correction, with CPI(M) rebels winning, questions around internal democracy, leadership style, and a sense that the party had moved away from what it stood for.
From debates on ideology and voter shifts to gaps between governance claims and lived experience, multiple factors fed into this verdict.
So what really changed in Kerala’s 2026 election?

The DMK’s defeat in the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections was not a simple one. This was not just a change of government. 15 ministers lost their seats. Chief Minister M. K. Stalin lost from Kolathur, a constituency he had held since 2011. After more than three decades, he will not be in the Assembly.
But this result cannot be explained as straightforward anti-incumbency. There was no single dominant issue or wave of anger strong enough to produce this outcome.
In this episode of Let Me Explain, Pooja Prasanna breaks down what really happened, from the DMK’s campaign strategy and its approach to Vijay, to the rise of Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam, and how perception, communication, and digital campaigning may have reshaped voter behaviour.
Why did governance not translate into votes? How did narrative outweigh performance? And what does this verdict say about the changing nature of elections in Tamil Nadu?

Seven MPs leave the Aam Aadmi Party. The BJP moves closer to a majority in the Rajya Sabha. And a law meant to stop defections appears to have enabled one.
When Raghav Chadha and six other MPs switched sides, the Rajya Sabha Chairman accepted it as a “merger” under the anti-defection law. But was it really a merger — or a coordinated defection?
In this episode of Let Me Explain, Pooja Prasanna breaks down what the Tenth Schedule actually says, how the two-thirds rule works, and why legal experts are divided. Does this case expose a loophole in the law? And is the anti-defection law still serving its purpose?

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu says there is “no threat” to southern states from delimitation. He has backed assurances that all states will see a proportional increase in seats.
But these assurances are not part of any law.
In this episode of Let Me Explain, Pooja Prasanna breaks down Naidu’s current stand, how it differs from his earlier concerns about population-based representation, and what the Constitution actually says about seat allocation. What happens as the freeze on redistribution ends? And can political assurances replace legal safeguards?

Can a Prime Minister use a national address during elections to attack the opposition? And what happens when that speech is broadcast on state-funded platforms?
In this episode of Let Me Explain, Pooja Prasanna breaks down the controversy around Narendra Modi’s April 18 address about the Women Reservation bill, during the Model Code of Conduct period.
From repeated references to opposition parties to the use of public broadcasters, we look at what the rules say and what the Election Commission of India could have done.

Tamil Nadu’s 2026 Assembly election is shaping up to be more complex than a simple DMK vs AIADMK contest. With new entrants like Vijay’s TVK, the BJP pushing for space, and shifting alliances, multiple factors are influencing the outcome.
In this episode of Let Me Explain, Pooja Prasanna and Azeefa Fathima break down the key factors shaping this election, from alliances and anti-incumbency to welfare politics, federalism, and identity debates.
