@suryakane @Mrsinha If he were criticising the government, that’d mean they are doing their job. The fact that he isn’t, reveals a lot. Good lil’ quislings & sepoys running the show. Penny wise, pound foolish, invertebrates.

@RupakChatto @MarkJCarney Needs a new plane too, if I’m not mistaken

@RupakChatto Makes one quite emotional, for some reason. Hope u do consider writing one on East Bengal, 1 day.

Amusing that Jhargram ones, who appear to be doin quite well, are in bed with TMC. Some things never change…

@devoffice Was he, a Jesuit, by any chance?

Why is Xi Jinping purging so many people?

The standard explanation is simple: power. He is crushing rivals to stay in office.

That's not wrong but it's incomplete. Xi is trying to help the CCP rule forever.

@AbhayK70627 Beautiful. Thanks for sharing this.

@anindasardar @samyak128 France has had multiple Republics, doesn’t mean France didn’t exist before the current Republic. Only difference is in India collaborators weren’t punished, as Petain was in France. Had we done that, we would hv been free 4m u cacophonous lot.

I read this and took the time to turn off all my notifications and deleted a bunch of apps from my phone.

So I guess that makes this the most influential commencement address I've ever read

Almost 5,000 people waited for hours in the rain at a swabbing event in Worcester, to get tested to see if they were a match to help save the life of a five-year-old boy fighting a rare cancer, after his parents asked for help

@RupakChatto Only sum incidents make it to d news. This is d norm. Indians knw corruption is cancerous & hv been expressing outrage about it since at least CWG scam days. However, most of us underestimate how bad it is. Unless 1 treats these Karnikas as organised crime, it won’t chng.

@RupakChatto Consider people working for, something as anodyne as RTO. It isn’t uncommon for many of these ppl, to have homes in Melbourne & other places (bought, on paper, by their relatives). This in RTO. In IRS meanwhile, sum of ‘em r more wealthy now thn factory owners.

@samyak128 We will. Or, 2 b more precise, we will coz it is His will. I'm a recovering atheist, due 2 which, I hv a more theological bent of mind thn d avg person. It is my firm view, tht, whether we want to do it or not, He will ensure we do it, as He did with Arjuna. It isn't up to us.

[Sagar Debroy @Sagar_Roy1]

@samyak128 So heartening to see people using East Bengal, instead of 'Bangladesh'. I thought I was the only one. This must become the norm. Banks of Padma, belong to India. When one uses 'Bangladesh', one unintentionally normalises & excuses their sins.

[Sagar Debroy @Sagar_Roy1]

@RupakChatto Deeply troubled person, actually. Politics aside, no sane person, especially at her age, feels the need to rave about which college they attended, like she did when she became MP.
