Extremely broad question but who in your opinion is the best speaker/speakers in India? Think intelligence, experience, advisers on life's biggest practical decisions. Thanks folks!

To capture the humility of @diljitdosanjh is where words have often fallen short, but here’s a charming articulation. Deliciously captured by @TedhiLakeer

[Nishtha Gautam نشٹھا निष्ठा @TedhiLakeer]

Diljit Dosanjh has managed to turn the post-colonial philosopher Homi Bhabha’s idea of mimicry upside down.

My exit poll! As I leave #Bengal, it would be a disservice not to say this: I have come to deeply admire the way women inhabit space here. There is a quiet, almost subconscious elevation of women as independent beings . something that stands in stark contrast to the entrenched misogyny that still finds resonance across much of northern India. Perhaps it stems from a cultural understanding of shakti. A form of empowerment that manifests here in ways both subtle and profound, unlike anywhere else in the country, even in the south.
Any woman journalist who has covered political rallies across India will recognize the difference immediately. Other states, a crowd is not just a logistical challenge, it carries risk. the inevitability of wandering hands, the violation masked by chaos. Here, the crowds are no less dense, the air no less heavy with sweat and alcohol—but the hands, for the most part, do not grope. Men step aside to make way. When contact happens, as it inevitably does in chaos, there is visible embarrassment rather than entitlement. What you encounter is not chivalry, but something far rarer: equality. And equality feels far more meaningful. Was never a fan of chivalry in any case :) 
There is more. Women politicians across party lines campaign with a striking freedom, aggressive, sharp, unapologetically irreverent, often using what would elsewhere be labelled as ‘masculine’ rhetoric. In most states, such behaviour would invite judgment, even censure. Here, it is met with acceptance,  applause. What feels liberating to an outsider is, in Bengal, simply normal. What we frame as empowerment  here is a cultural undercurrent.
I have covered four elections in this state, and each time I have returned with the same sense of awe. Bengal, meanwhile, ambles on with a certain bemusement, as if unaware of what sets it apart. But it is a big deal. And perhaps the most remarkable part is that Bengal does not think so.
Governments will come and go. One can only hope that this constant endures, not just how Bengal sees its women, but how, in many ways, it doesn’t. ♥️♥️♥️

The @ieefa_institute's @Vibhuti_D_Garg joined @CNBC's Inside India programme, hosted by @amitoj, to unpack how energy crisis is impacting economic growth—from industrial slowdowns, inflation to currency pressures & rising household costs. Discussion: https://t.co/UW78TWwaJD

[Amitoj Singh @amitoj]

Thanks @jasuja - really appreciate you noticing and watching:)

[Monica Jasuja @jasuja]

Coverage about India’s role in Iran-USA conflict, grounded but nuanced take on the subject without the noise and jingoistic anchors is refreshing

We don’t realize or understand the “change” observed in India’s messaging on global news in the last decade.

PS - @amitoj , so good to see you on TV. Love the turban color contrasting the blue coat, as well - well done

[Amitoj Singh @amitoj]

Trump tells @cnbc’s Joe Kernen -
- very intent on making a deal
- instructed military to postpone strikes on Iran’s power plants
- US & Iran had productive conversations

Qs: No mention of Israel’s yes to this & is Hormuz open, who are Iran’s negotiators?

[Amitoj Singh @amitoj]

Five day period, no mention of Israel’s position - key takeaways.

[Tom Wright @thomaswright08]

ODNI's Annual Threat Assessment confirms that Pakistan is developing missiles to strike the US with nuclear weapons (i.e. ICBMs). This is the first time, to my knowledge, that the Trump admin has said this (the Biden admin had declassified it in Dec 2024). See pages 10 and 11 of the ATA https://t.co/ITuS8cCgdm

Dubai Civil Aviation Authority announces the temporary suspension of flights at Dubai International Airport as a precautionary measure to ensure the safety of all passengers and staff. Travellers are advised to contact their respective airlines for the latest updates regarding their flights. Further updates will be announced through official channels as soon as they become available.

[CNBC Int'l PR @cnbcipr]

Thursday, 12 March: @ambkcsingh , former Indian ambassador to the UAE and Iran, tells CNBC's @amitoj that India’s significant trade ties with the GCC makes the country especially vulnerable to the global energy supply shortage and rising prices. He also calls the Iran conflict a “war of attrition”, and why it’s particularly painful for India, a net importer of energy. https://t.co/f8u4XOTpQh

[Jayant Krishna @JayantKrishnaIN]

Spoke with @CNBC’s @amitoj that India has not taken any explicit sides in the US-Israel-Iran war so far and has been maintaining neutrality while advocating for restraint, dialogue, escalation-avoidance and protection of civilian lives while safeguarding its economic and geo-political interests, along with those of its diaspora. India is the only BRICS founding nation which has not condemned the war so far. While India has not taken any side in the war, India's national interests definitely lie more with the US-Israel and their allies, vis-a-vis Iran. India’s delicate balancing act is largely due to its energy security as almost three fourths of India’s oil imports come through the Strait of Hormuz that been badly affected in the current crisis. Also, millions of Indians live and work across the West Asia whose protection is its priority. In addition, India has been a major importer of defence equipment from Israel (India accounts for 38% of Israel’s defence exports) and hugely values this strategic cooperation in its technology-driven security requirements. India’s investments in the Chabahar port, providing access to Afghanistan and Central Asia, bypassing Pakistan, is also a reason behind India’s neutral position. India has every right to continue its stand based on its interest, the call of Chinese Foreign Minister notwithstanding! Amitoj Singh’s article on https://t.co/0egYco7KPW took cognisance of some of my views... @MFA_China @MEAIndia @Iran_GOV @IsraeliPM @IsraelMFA @israelP @DrSJaishankar @ChinaDaily @PDChina @CNBCTV18News @CNBC_Awaaz @IranNewsNow @IranObserver0 @DailyIranNews @IRIran_Military @Timesofiraan @Iran

[Akshobh Giridharadas @Akshobh]

Good analysis by @amitoj, fond memories from the cricket world cup in Melbourne. In this analaysis, Amitoj rightly argues New Delhi's tightrope diplomacy tested and leaving the Global South perplexed,while Beijing makes a stronger case for BRIC solidarity.
