Corruption at the municipal and local administrative level is the monster that is devouring India’s children and ordinary citizens. The fire in Delhi and now in Lucknow are proof that the nation’s biggest enemy is this almost endemic corruption.

Zero safety culture and extremely high corruption. This deadly mix ends in tragedies like the one in Lucknow today.

+100. All Indian cities need more roadspace. Only city building incremental road capacity is Mumbai (maybe Delhi too, but its a village of/for politicians). But even Mumbai, w/all its $ + genius, is falling short on quality and speed...

His one point obsession to hunt n eliminate dreaded Devinder Pal Bhullar has no parallel, the mastermind of attack on him n IYC President Bitta. Finally he plucked Bhullar frm lounge of Frankfurt Airport with help of RA&W. We need a web-series on KPS n his “ boys” like NARCOS

Israel informed Lebanon it'll carry out several withdrawals as "signs of good will" ahead of the negotiations tomorrow in DC (surely due to US pressure).
It appears that Israel has given up on the effort to capture the Hezbollah underground base inside Ali a-Taher Ridge, since it pulled out of the staging ground for its repeated assaults on the Ridge, Kafr Tibnit. The Lebanese Armed Forces are deploying in the town.

CBI and ED only arrest staffers or top executives of Anil Ambani's Reliance Group in cheating of Banks... CBI arrests Anil Ambani’s former CEOs of RCFL, RHFL in Rs.7,623-Cr bank fraud ... This arresting only staffers will collapse the case in Courts during trial stage ... Staffers will change their statements in Courts .... CBI and ED were forced to act on a case filed @pbhushan1 in Supreme Court, citing bank frauds from 2010 to 2020 .. Banks were not even filing case for cheating till Supreme Court's intervention https://t.co/CLu8kJAuxb via @PGurus1

In this long piece for INDIA'S WORLD magazine, I make a case for ‘De-Americanising’ India’s Grand Strategy.

The Indo-US relationship may have thrived in the 2000s, but it was built on the back of a decade of threats, pressure and bullying.

India's most consequential relationship in the last quarter century was the by-product of a shared anxiety about a third party.

For nearly a quarter of a century, our grand strategy has been shaped by its convergence with Washington. As a result, our grand strategic questions once appeared to answer themselves and rather effortlessly.

Now we must go and find them, and this ensures that our relationship rests on choice rather than dependence.

This is how grand strategies are made. Or remade.

@DivaJain2 It will now be used as a reliable reference by Wikipedia to support the idea that Indians, after thousands of years of civilisation, somehow never thought of building a garden till Babur came and taught is.

[Diva Jain @DivaJain2]

India had no gardens when Babur came to India and Nehru wore a rose in memory of his wife?
I hope he took it off when he went to meet Lady Mountbatten.

Meta’s hiring of @kunalb11 to run WhatsApp is almost unprecedented in their bringing a leader from outside Silicon Valley to run a global product. And this wasn’t a straightforward hire either. Meta is paying $1b for the privilege of hiring him.

The only comparable I can think of among tech companies is Apple hiring Angela Ahrendts (CEO of Burberry) to run Retail. Other than that hire, every product / business leadership role at the best tech companies has been filled from people in the Valley, if not the US.

This is a great win for:
- WhatsApp users, who will benefit from a leader who has a native and deep understanding of - and facility with - the product.
- Meta, who gets one of the best global consumer product thinkers and builders for their crown jewel product.
- The Indian / global product talent ecosystem, which will be inspired by seeing that you don’t need to be in Silicon Valley to lead a global product, that forward thinking tech / AI companies will stretch to get the best leaders from anywhere in the world.

@Jessicalessin the story behind Kunal’s hire will be fascinating to break.
