Braved the Chennai rains to go see - Sounds of India. What a brilliantly put together show!! @thevirdas is such a phenomenal storyteller - engaging, sharp, and absolutely hilarious!!
The sound of silence: my latest #TharoorThink column in the @IndianExpress comes to grips with the reluctance of the Indian diaspora in America to speak up for the interests of their motherland, in the face of continued assaults from Washington:

@PanasonicIndia@Digi2L_
On Jan 3rd (a month ago), I purchased a Panasonic AC with an exchange order by Digi2L (E4ZEHNG2)
The pick-up of the old AC has not yet happened & there has been no communication. Is the delay by Panasonic or by Digi2L?
How do we fulfill this order?
India is renowned for its sportsmanship and hospitality. However, the treatment meted out to Pakistan players at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad is unacceptable and a new low. Sports should be a unifying force between countries, fostering true brotherhood. Using it as a tool to spread hatred is condemnable. #IndiaVsPakistan
It took this for Narendra Modi to may his first (and most likely last) statement about the situation in the state of Manipur!

Here's enough background for 500 questions...
Questions from @SabrinaSiddiqui was specifically about "steps you are willing to take to improve the rights of Muslims & other minorities in India to uphold free speech."
PM was beating around the bush and his response was in generic about how Indian is a Democratic Country, Sabka Sath Sabka Vikas.. Never answered how he's planing to improve things.
And we have Godi media celebrating the Masterstroke answer.
The Karnataka results today have proved two important things. One: Indian democracy is still very much alive and kicking, despite all our fears. And, two, never under-estimate the wisdom of our voters. Their political choices cannot be swayed by rhetoric or claims.
He made Muslim women choose between choosing to wear their hijab & getting an education.
Women cannot be monitored.
Women do not need permission about what they want to wear from any man.
Let them live. Let them choose. https://t.co/9mcdIEvxGp
Almost a thousand years ago, after the Second Crusade, a French Crusader plucked out an indigenous flower from war-torn Syria. The flower made its way to India through the Mughals and helped shape the Perfume Capital of India. A thread. 1/15
