Crazy that this is getting barely any coverage. This year’s European Press Prize was just awarded to an investigative report by the Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant. It is entitled “What the Wounds Tell” and in it the journalists Maud Effting and Willem Feenstra document the cases of 114 children in Gaza under the age of 15 who were struck by a single bullet to the head or chest. Almost all of them died or were left severely disabled. They chose to document only the cases of boys and girls under the age of 15 (though often much younger: aged 3, 4 or 7) because these are children who can be immediately identified as such. “A single bullet in these parts of the body is a clear indication that these children were deliberately targeted“, the two journalists write.

It’s my favourite biryani in NCR given the absence of Meghana’s. It really filled a gap for me after shifting from BLR to DEL.
One of the few who, apart from a solid chicken biryani, also has an excellent paneer biryani

Humanity, created by God in all its grandeur, is today facing a pivotal choice: either to construct a new Tower of Babel or to build the city in which God and humanity dwell together. In Jesus Christ, this humanity in its grandeur becomes the Way, the Truth and the Life, opening the path for each of us to grow toward fullness. #MagnificaHumanitas

"Modi has not done a single press conference in 12 years."
So what?
Not taking questions from the press is not some moral crime in itself. The media is not a council of high priests conducting a legitimacy exam that every Prime Minister must clear for democratic certification.
In a democracy, legitimacy comes from public mandate and governance, not from standing before cameras to satisfy a section of the media that mistakes access for accountability.
As such, today's media ecosystem is not some sacred, neutral institution operating above politics. Much of it is deeply polarized. Different political camps have their favorite journalists, narratives, and ecosystems. Questions are designed less to seek answers and more to manufacture headlines, extract viral moments, or build personal brands.
And those who hold frequent press conferences are not automatically standing on higher moral ground either. We have all seen planted easy questions from pliable journalists and difficult questions brushed aside with “aap rival party ki bhasha mat boliye,” deflections, or outright evasions.
The number of press conferences a leader does is not a certificate of transparency. Otherwise, by that logic, Trump, who interacts with the press almost daily, should automatically be considered the most transparent, most democratic, and the finest leader in the world.
Marx dreamed of a world where you wouldn't be pigeonholed by your job. As he put it, a man could hunt in the morning, fish in the afternoon, and critique ideas at dinner without ever being a hunter, fisherman, or critic. Thus far, only AI has lived up to this dream, as it's employed to make art and bomb countries without ever being an artist or a pilot.

After MeitY’s 30 March notification on the new IT Rules, the Ministry has now extended the consultation deadline from 14 April to 29 April.
This shift would not have been possible without over 2,500 concerned citizens who sent their comments.
This is not the end. Keep sending your submissions.
@amitvarma tl,dr
1. logistical reason is that it's hard to justify art spending (patronage) to shareholders or to the public if govt led.
2. lack imagination and building aesthetics could be more cost-effective given today's technique and materials available.
