I don’t think India is at a good position as the 97th most corrupt country out of 182. Will any leader in India want to answer this question? Does anyone have a plan to improve this ranking? Or will it continue to slip further?

[Dr. Asif Maqbool @asif_maqbool]

@sabeer Irony is that the corrupt people are treated as heroes here, while people exhibiting character are taken as idiots.

[Dr. Asif Maqbool @asif_maqbool]

@SoulCultivated I am intrigued by the corruption practice in public service.

Any book recommendations to understand the subject matter of Corruption, it's hazards on development etc?

8th Pay Commission will adversely impact private sector employment, growth and investment. This gift horse must be looked in the mouth just like Sheikh Abdullah did in 1975 by stopping the highly popular subsidy on rice. Financially prudent. Politically bold and brilliant.

@JKSportsCouncil I have been following the table tennis performance of J&K for years now. My children played U-12 nationals a few years back and I am well aware of the intensity of competition at national level.

Ritvik deserves a big salute from my side. 🫡

Cho!

[Shahid Choudhary @listenshahid]

Congratulations, Ritvik!

Deeply privileged to deliver the Raja Chelliah Memorial Lecture at the Madras School of Economics, with Dr C Rangarajan presiding as chair. At 94, battling a sore throat, he had read the paper in full and offered penetrating comments for a full thirty minutes. The extraordinary devotion to scholarship and public policy—now fading with this remarkable generation of economists like A Vaidyanathan, Bimal Jalan, and Y V Reddy, who shaped India’s economic destiny for decades is something we don’t see anymore.

Now that is what you call a “live menu” at Manjal, Chennai. Starts with Solidarity with the Subaltern: Spleen, Brain, Offal, Liver, Kidney, Head & Trotters. Followed by Mutton, Chicken, Prawn & Fish! The eclectic flavours of Tamil Nadu in full glory. Must visit when in Chennai.

@tapeshyadav_usa Barinj Kuchak (برنج کوچک) translates as small rice or fine rice. This term fits elite indigenous varieties such as Mushqbudji rice, a Geographical Indication (GI) product from Kashmir, known for its small grains and strong aroma.

Congratulations to the team from Kashmir University, J&K Department of Archives and Archeology and @ASIGoI @MinOfCultureGoI for bringing global spotlight to the Zehanpora site in Kashmir. @PMOIndia called this discovery a moment of national pride.
