After giving away $26 billion in philanthropy, MacKenzie Scott’s wealth remains largely unchanged — here’s why

Vamsikrishna04 mins mins

Yet despite this extraordinary level of giving, she remains one of the richest people in the world. This is because her fortune is still tied mainly to shares in Amazon, which can rise…

NEW DELHI: Exit poll projections for Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) have thrown up one of the most intriguing questions of the 2026 Tamil Nadu elections: is Vijay on the cusp of a breakthrough like Arvind Kejriwal in Delhi, or will he resemble Prashant Kishor’s Bihar experiment that ended in ‘arsh se farsh par’.The answer, at least today, depends on which exit poll one chooses to believe.Most projections place TVK in the 10–24 seat range, a significant debut. According to most pollsters Vijay’s party will be one that positions it as a spoiler rather than a main contender. P-Marq and Matrize projected 10–12 seats for TVK, while Peoples Pulse gives it a stronger 18–24, suggesting meaningful traction among urban and youth voters. In this scenario, Vijay’s party could end up splitting anti-incumbent votes, indirectly aiding the DMK.But then comes the outlier.Axis MyIndia projected a dramatic surge, giving TVK 98–120 seats – numbers that, if turned into reality on May 4, would catapult Vijay into the centre of Tamil Nadu politics overnight. That would place him in Kejriwal territory: a first-time entrant not just breaking through, but becoming the centre of state politics.And Vijay also has his superstar Thalaivar image – something that has worked in Tamil Nadu for years with the rise of MG Ramachandran and the J Jayalalithaa.However, unlike Delhi in 2013, where Kejriwal rode a singular anti-corruption wave, Tamil Nadu’s contest is layered, entrenched in Dravidian politics, strong party machinery, and decaded-old voter loyalties. Even a strong showing for TVK does not automatically translate into power unless it converts popularity into booth-level efficiency, an area where established players like the DMK and AIADMK retain a clear edge.However, if these exit polls turn out to be wrong on May 4, and Vijay’s grand political debut becomes a flop show, it would be similar to what we saw last year in Bihar.While there was much discussion around political mastermind Prashant Kishor’s debut, his Jan Suraaj Party failed to even open its account in assembly elections. The comparison with Prashant Kishor is instructive in another way. Kishor’s Bihar push aimed to create an alternative political space but struggled to translate visibility into votes at scale. If TVK’s performance remains in the lower range of projections, it may still succeed in altering vote shares and future alignments, without immediately challenging for power.So, is Vijay the next outsider who can convert momentum into mandate, as Kejriwal once did? Or will he fail to make any impact, like Kishor’s early political foray?The answer will only become clear on May 4.

NEW DELHI: The Vishwa Hindu Parishad on Wednesday criticised the remarks made by a judge of the Allahabad High Court in a madrasa-related case, saying they were “factually wrong” and risked “creating disharmony,” while asserting that “judicial restraint is essential to maintain institutional balance.” The reaction follows observations by Justice Atul Sreedharan, who, while hearing a petition linked to an NHRC directive on alleged irregularities in madrasas, questioned the commission’s functioning and referred to instances of violence against members of the Muslim community.The case before the high court pertains to a challenge against a National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) order directing the DG, Economic Offences Wing (EOW), Uttar Pradesh, to probe allegations including financial mismanagement in madrasas and submit an action taken report. At the hearing, the petitioner’s counsel sought an adjournment due to the absence of the arguing counsel, and no one appeared for the NHRC as notice had not been served. While granting adjournment, Justice Sreedharan recorded a prima facie view questioning the NHRC’s jurisdiction and made broader observations on its functioning.VHP president Alok Kumar said the remarks were made “in the absence of arguments” and went beyond the scope of the case, describing them as unwarranted commentary on the NHRC. He also pointed to the dissent recorded by co-judge Justice Vivek Saran, who stated that he differed from the order dictated by Justice Sreedharan, indicating a split within the bench.VHP said it condemns all forms of violence, including lynching, “irrespective of religion,” but objected to what it called a selective portrayal of such incidents as targeting a particular community. “Criminals do not belong to any religion,” Kumar said, adding that such remarks are inaccurate and socially divisive.The organisation cautioned that observations on sensitive communal issues, especially when not central to the case, could undermine institutional credibility. It urged courts to adhere strictly to judicial discipline and avoid sweeping generalisations, stressing that constitutional authorities must exercise restraint in public reasoning.About the AuthorManash Pratim GohainManash Pratim Gohain is a seasoned journalist with over two decades at The Times of India, where he has built a rich body of work spanning education policy, politics, and governance.
