Excellent story on pollution monitoring in India... another abject failure of governance by dashboard. The problem is not just ineptitude or political convenience (though those play a role) but in the oversimplifications -- and distortions -- demanded by dashboards.
"Cities can control dust. They can’t control the system that produces pollution. So they chose to measure what they could manage, rather than manage what they needed to measure." Breathtaking story (pun intended), congratulations @anushkantala @PySamarth!

The conversation about digital sovereignty needs to address political capture by local elites. The broad policy programme that the report calls for must go hand in hand with a political programme that builds progressive social forces against oligarchy.

"Maximum governance" gone rogue. The Indian govt has a dashboard to monitor and improve its performance on global indices. If indices are meta-measurements that collate other measures, this dashboard is a meta-meta-measurement. Reality is buried under numbers.
Exclusive: Inside Modi govt's War Room Whitewashing Global Indices. A systemic program to discredit and 'fix' global rankings that show gov't in bad light. Part 1 of The Ministry of Truth Investigative Series by @Shreegireesh 1/3
