Today's appointment of Vikram Doraiswami, who knows China well, as the next Ambassador in Beijing is welcome news. The Embassy in Beijing is in need of revitalization and fresh energy to navigate the on-going normalization of a very complex relationship, so this bodes well.
You can run campaigns against Nehru, remove him from posters, delete him from textbooks, slander him but you cannot remove him from the world’s consciousness. Pettiness cannot dismantle a statesman.
I can confirm that Prof Francesca Orsini, scholar of Hindi at SOAS, London University, has been stopped from entering India tonight even though she has a valid 5 year e-visa. She arrived from Hong Kong in Delhi and was told she would not be allowed in. https://t.co/Zww2uwrgVh

Manish and Rohini make a joint case in the @IndianExpress for the next Jan Vishwas finding the madhyam marg between trusting and punishing citizens👇
