@CyberGreen09 @DrNTXNews You seem obsessed with India and Indians! It's very sad.
It's time to get a life. I suggest some deep meditation and yoga. May you find peace.

@maveinlux She's 100% right!
Acknowledging a problem is the first step towards fixing it.
People who think they are being patriotic when they criticize her for pointing out something that's pretty obvious are the worst culprits.

@SinghKislaya What's more honorable than valuing the people who defend you? The "no person left behind" has got to be up there as one of the most amazing military policies in the world!

@JIX5A The number to keep in mind is 1.4 billion... That's how it's possible! 😃

@RanaAyyub Why is it a sobering moment for India? It makes sense for the Islamic Republic of Pakistan to mediate in a conflict involving the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Why bring India into it?

@DameScorpio An ancient people with a deep, rich culture!

@Mschatnoir Here's a gentle reminder: The British (thanks mostly to the Scots) ruled India (including what is today Pakistan) for about 200 years.

@iihtishamm We can ALL do it -- sing our national anthem, I mean.

@zapatas_mom But can the people there vote?

[Vidya Root @VidyaRoot]

@luo_yuehan Yes, but can they vote?

@TheOnlyDSC Touché!

@zhao_dashuai You are great!
Do you get to vote, btw?

@sabeer NSS, as we say in my workplace. No sh*t Sherlock! Question is, how does one change the mindset? Fines? Not sure that'll work. Incentives? Maybe. But what kinds of incentives will work? Why don't you create a contest for people to come up with their best ideas?

Good morning from Delhi where a European delegation led by von der Leyen and Costa were treated as guests of honor at the Republic Day parade. Tomorrow - a trade deal cutting tariffs is expected to be sealed as well as a new defense and security pact. India hit by 50% tariff regime under Trump. De-risking used to be synonymous with China, now it also includes Trump’s tariffs/ America as the European push to diversify and conquer new markets continues. And yes - we got front row seats, but we did wake up at 430am for it!

@TansuYegen But can they vote?

[Vidya Root @VidyaRoot]

@sabeer Agree 100%. How does one inculcate civic sense, however? That is the BIG question. Need to learn from the Japanese! Tokyo has few garbage cans -- since people take their waste home to dispose it off properly -- and yet pavements are so clean, you can literally eat off of them!

[Vidya Root @VidyaRoot]

@sabeer Nope. I'm keeping an open mind and learning more about my past, while keeping a keen eye on where I'm headed. I'm not stuck anywhere. I'm free.

@moronhumor Your parents raised you right!
