I was honoured to address the Workshop on “Gender Sensitization, POSH Act and Women Empowerment” organized by Assam University.
In my address, I emphasized that gender sensitization is fundamental to building inclusive, equitable, and respectful institutions. The deliberations highlighted the significance of the POSH Act, 2013 in ensuring safe workplaces and underscored the need to move beyond legal compliance by fostering institutional cultures rooted in dignity, equality, accountability, and mutual respect.
I also stressed that true women’s empowerment lies in expanding opportunities for education, leadership, economic participation, and decision-making, enabling every individual to contribute with confidence and dignity. I appreciate Assam University for organizing this timely and meaningful academic programme and for the warm hospitality.

Today, I was invited as an expert panelist on DD Urdu to deliberate on the evolving crisis in West Asia. I argued that contemporary conflicts have transcended conventional interstate wars; they are embedded in identity politics, shaped by shifting geopolitical alignments, and perpetuated through sustained external interventions.
The West Asian theatre underscores the deeply interconnected nature of regional conflicts and their global reverberations. For India, this necessitates a nuanced strategy anchored in strategic autonomy, multi-alignment, and the primacy of sustained diplomatic engagement over militarized responses for any meaningful and durable peace.

Along with our Honorable Vice Chancellor, Honorable Registrar and other faculty members of JMI to celebrate 150 years of national song "Vande Mataram".. .
@drm_dli@RailwaySeva I think the concerned department needs to revisit the rate chart. This is not the rate of service provided. The charge of 600/ for forty minutes is exaggerated . Thankyou
The fall of Assad's regime looks like a mockery of geopolitics...how opposition came across that the last push can end his regime. The years of war were not inconclusive. Unless there is passage of a political vent.
Will take years to analyse the reasons to assess behind the fall of govt in Bangladesh. How did digital play a crucial role? Both sides used digital equally but resistance won the game. Why does resistance strategically lead developing wrld? How is it possible?

Unemployment is a global issue it needs 2 tackle globally rather thn regionally. Corporates r unable 2 mint more jobs than promised within globalization, privatization & liberalisation. The nationalism agenda across the world is a narrowed global prospect of job opportunities.
