I've been a journalist long enough to know that the real story is almost never in the headline. It's in the B-Roll: the background footage nobody curates, and packages. That's what this newsletter is. Every Sunday I send you five stories from the background of India's news cycle, the ones rolling while everyone watched something else. I give you the context. I give you the questions. And then I ask you to keep rolling too. Because the news isn't just something that happens to you. It's something that's asking something of you. Welcome to B-Roll Beat.
The A-Roll is the headline. This is the B-Roll.
