A short 🧵 on #Agnipath. At one level, I am happy to see that many of its components are very similar to the framework I laid out in this 2016 @ncaer "India Policy Forum" paper on a new approach to public sector hiring in India (https://t.co/J68MQ6LM05) 1/8

Some US/European commentators:

2001-2011: “India should stay out of Afghanistan.”

2011-2016: “India is irrelevant in Afghanistan.”

2016-2020: “India isn’t doing enough in Afghanistan.”

2021: “The fall of the Indian-backed government in Afghanistan…”

[Tanvi Madan @tanvi_madan]

“I also don’t think anyone thought Afghanistan would turn so badly so quick"

A quote sure to make it into articles outlining the relevance of history for policymaking…

Remdesivir injection’s toll free no
1800222365 is not helping either. This helped stopping black marketing but there aren’t enough lines to address the common man!

I repeat, BMC JUMBO Covid centres have NOT TURNED BACK back a single patient that I've referred there.

And I've referred dozens.

Please do keep this in mind. Do call the war room but if there isn't any progress, go to your nearest JUMBO facility.

My DMs are open.
