The HT newsroom put out a bunch of specials to mark India@75. For starters, there’s 1947: The road to Indian independence, a podcast anchored by Prashant Jha, featuring experts such as William Dalrymple, Rajmohan Gandhi, Srinath Raghavan, and Durba Ghosh. https://t.co/RCpkgas5RB

@saffrontrail Ha ha, not at all.

I am so sorry for making those jokes about Delhi Traffic Police. Very insensitive of me to speak ill of an extinct species.

[sukumar ranganathan @HT_Ed]

@varunstweets @satishjohn Superb story

[sukumar ranganathan @HT_Ed]

@kshashi Parents gave their kids these double and triple AAA names so that their name would be first in the class register. I remember, my son’s class had more kids with names starting with As than any other letter.

I may make jokes about the traffic in Delhi but am fully aware that the joke is on me — and on all of us.
