    For millions of  Indians , it’s the city where dreams come true – just look around. From the gleaming home of Asia’s richest man, Mukesh Ambani, towering over “Billionaires’ Row,” to the waterfront mansions of Bollywood stars, Mumbai is the place where  ambitions are realized . But as India’s financial capital prepares to vote in the country’s  massive general election , many residents say they want a fairer share of its wealth – with better education the key to opportunity. In the densely packed Dadar neighborhood, hustlers and dreamers alike spill out of train stations and shopping complexes, a whirl of humanity weaving through congested streets where market traders tout for business. Next to piles of potatoes and onions, 34-year-old grocer Sachin Chaudhary cites rising prices and a tough job market as his biggest concerns ahead of the city’s first voting phase later in May. “The change I want to see is, things should become less costly,” he says. “And children are getting good e

In one sense, Trump’s  conviction on all counts  in his first criminal trial affirmed the principle on which the United States is founded — that everyone is equal and that no one, not even a billionaire and former and possibly future president, enjoys impunity. But Trump’s authoritarian outburst minutes after the guilty verdict in New York and  a race by top Republicans  to join his assault on the justice system underscore how threatened those bedrock values now are. “This was a rigged, disgraceful trial. The real verdict is going to be November 5, by the people, and they know what happened here and everybody knows what happened here,” Trump said minutes after a jury foreperson announced he was guilty on 34 felony charges of falsifying business records to hide a hush money payment to an adult film star.
