Big Story: We will look at the big controversy over Arivu's erasure from the Rolling Stones cover feature. We will delve into how music in India has been historically exclusionary and how Dalit rap changed that. We will then look at the downside of mainstream commodification of such art by drawing a parallel with the Gully Rap scene.

Food for Thought: We will look at the conversation around the mistreatment of delivery partners in a gig economy. We will understand how the gig economy came to be, draw a global comparison on their work experiences and how the absence of unions in places like Swiggy and Zomato deny negotiation power to their employees.

What are we toasting:1) A very curious Sri Lankan handball team2) Various towns across Italy are selling beautiful old homes for just €1

What are we roasting:1) Known sexual predator MJ Akbar has been allowed back into the newsroom and may be joining Zee Media’s WION as vice president, according to the latest reports.2) Taiwanese government euthanises 154 cats.
