Ramana:
Muckety has 3 journalists as its founders, and I assume they have full time staff - journalism and technology to get their maps out. Look at their sources.
Though the connections appear to be far and wide, it appears the World of Power & Influence is pretty small when compared to the global population. A media personality starts somewhere small, but does lot of career climbing and moves around. If one digs deeper, it is clear they are well connected to begin with.
For example, there is this Prayaag Akbar who writes articles in Outlook and elsewhere. Based on Wiki information, M.J.Akbar has a son called Prayaag (possibly named after M.J.'s grandfather), but there is nothing on the net yet to connect MJ and him. I almost 99% sure they are connected. Same goes for MJ's daughter. There is a legal counsel in the Sun Group (based in N.Delhi) who has the same name as MJ's daughter (Mukulika), but no connection exists out in Web. I would be surprised if my suspicion is not correct.
The nexus between Politician, Media, Industrialist, NGO etc is very scary. And when they fight between themselves, we aam aadmi are left to sit and watch and judge them. How many people are really wedded to ideology and how many people are doing what they are doing because that is the World they live in. Once having entered it, they are stuck there for life. Looks like poaching employees from each other is becoming common practice.
