Indira Gandhi, HJ Bhabha, Raja Ramanna, R Chidambaram, PK Iyengar, Homi Sethna, NS Venkatesan, PR Roy.

Atal Bihari Vajpayee, APJ Abdul Kalam, K Santhanam, Satinder Sikka, Anil Kakodkar, GR Dikshitulu.

The repeal of India's "Right to Work" program (the National Rural Employment Guarantee Act) which was the world's largest ever anti-poverty program, is just the most recent example of what I called "retrenchment populism" in my 2020 article "The Age of Reaction."

[Sushant Singh @SushantSin]

Excellent from @AsimAli6 - an important read on why India is not China or will not become the next China or Japan or Korea.

You murder a helpless guy because you believe he has insulted your religion, gods, or respected character. Then you're evil, barbaric, and the lowest of the low.

The Muslims who lynched Dipu Chadra Das in Bangladesh are not human; they are vile guttersnipes.

The Indian government’s campaign for indigenous technology is an admirable goal, writes @MHNpp. But the same mechanisms intended to empower a nation of citizens could just as easily extend the state’s reach into dangerous territory. https://t.co/b06sXdauBB

DU is collapsing-- every NCR prof ive spoken to in past 5yrs confirms bribes for hiring. DU recruitment was always political but money entered more recently. Now whole process feels like a sham

Govt must investigate or else this will spread to all univs!

My thoughts on the Income Tax Bill 2025

[The Wire @thewire_in]

Income Tax Bill 2025 and the Quiet Normalisation of Surveillance

If passed, the Bill would grant income tax officials authority to access digital information, including emails, social media accounts and online financial platforms

Ten years ago, this man was the founder of al-Qaeda's branch in Syria. Six months ago, the US had a $10-million bounty on his head. Today, he is posing with the President of the United States.
