I fell in love with Kashmir the first time I visited last summer, and no amount of jingoism or war-mongering can change that. @NGTIndia

A walk through the old quarter of #Srinagar, brought Barsali Bhattacharyya face to face with the stories of centuries past and acquainted her with a #Kashmir we don't often see on our televisions. #WalkingHoliday

‘Human Edge: What's Cooking in AI’ explores the concept of co-intelligence, the synthesis of human creativity and machine capability, which drives advances in AI. As India prepares for the AI Impact Summit 2026, the panel focuses on innovation and the implications of building true “hive minds” for the future of work, society, and governance. Ali Eslami, Nitin Seth, and Barsali Bhattacharyya, experts in technology, legislation, research, and business, discuss how we responsibly harness this power to shape a more co-intelligent and ethical future.

At the Jaipur Literature Festival 2026, presented by Vedanta, they engage in a conversation with Sumeet Shetty to unpack these ideas.

The session is live at Vedanta Front Lawn.

Outrageous! Wake up INDIA! The Govt's Sanchar Saathi app mandate is a blatant assault on our privacy & freedom! By forcing it pre-installed on every new phone, not allowing us to uninstall the aap, all under the guise of 'safety', the government will potentially have the power to spy on our calls, texts & location. This is surveillance at its worst, & the government will have the power to track us like criminals!
We need to fight this.
Btw:
These are the permissions that will be required for the Sanchar Saathi App!

Am surprised that so many people have discovered problems with a bulk of Indian big media and so-called journalists only last night. Hasn't this already been visible and known for the best part of a decade or more?

[Sidharth S. 🚀 @outsidvoice]
