The amazing hoops the western press has jumped over 3 days to describe Interpol-tagged Khalistani terrorist Hardip Nijjar is a spectacle of our time.

My take:

[Shiv Aroor @ShivAroor]

Geopolitical racism 101. All the pressure of being a ‘responsible power’ is on India, not Canada that has named India without evidence or a full investigation. In Grossman’s world, India ought to suck it up and wait for Canada’s next steps like a good third world country 🤡

[Capt.Amarinder Singh @capt_amarinder]

Canadian PM @JustinTrudeau's allegations against India over the killing of a fugitive terrorist are baseless, absurd, atrocious and outrageous.
It is a classic case of pot calling the kettle black.
My take in @IndianExpress

@sunetrac Much better than midwits like @_YogendraYadav who decided the current textbooks.

[Nandan Pandit @npandit]

Shankar Mahadevan has a degree in Computer science and software engineering. Sudha Murty has a Masters in Engg. from IISc and was the first female engineer at India's largest auto company. Both are honoris causa doctors. But am sure they arent good enough for this journalist.

@_profvyas @tylercowen @VitalikButerin @ATabarrok Wow!

Amazing to see a company built for Bharat 🇮🇳 turning profitable at such scale in this macroeconomic climate! Truly inspirational India Story!

[Vidit Aatrey @viditaatrey]

We did it!

Thrilled to announce that @Meesho_Official has achieved a historic milestone - profitability (EBITDA and PAT profitable) as of July 2023, making us the first horizontal e-commerce company in India to do so!

And we achieved this feat while driving a 43% growth in orders and 54% growth in revenue in the last 12 months!

Heartfelt gratitude to our exceptional team of Meeshoites who made this possible through their relentless dedication and passion!

@barnwalSanjeev

[Mukul Arora @mukularora]

Meesho is now the first horizontal e-commerce platform in India to become profitable… yet another instance of Meesho team taking a super ambitious goal and nailing it!! 🙌🙌

Big congrats on @viditaatrey @barnwalSanjeev and the entire @Meesho_Official team

6 months back the optimism for crypto was such that there were actual bitcoin themed café in Bengaluru — with idealist goals of increasing crypto adoption. Fade got over as money dried.

@yuddhisthira Talks ! Don’t think it is practical

[Ishan @ishan_con]

@Hardism The only difference is, when it comes to international opinion shaping — LW would be more convincing, and both these incidents, regardless of who the actually victim is will become about Hindutva. Maybe if they are gracious they would both-side the Mewat incident, that’s it.

@IndiaExplained NRI uncles & their periodic “ethnic cleansing” fantasies! ���

[Ishan @ishan_con]

@arsh_goyal My story is somewhat similar, old IIT, spent 3 years fresh out of college in UPSC.

I would say to someone like this join an IT company, won’t in be easy in the start with people from your batch much higher in the ladder but take it in your stride. It Won’t matter eventually.

India required a few generations of meritocratic elites - individuals with the right mindset, upbringing, culture, exposure & intellect for risk-taking & enterprise. Nehru's decision to invest in PSUs & higher learning institutes was absolutely right!

[Dr Aniruddha Malpani, MD @malpani]

Instead of spending money on IITs ( which served as status symbols for Nehru ) , we should have invested in primary school education in vernacular languages to tap into India's incredible human capital. Perhaps it's still not too late !

[Ishan @ishan_con]

Still remember an incident from SPIC MACAY international concert we organised in IIT, where a large Pakistani contingent was invited as well. Wassifuddin Dagar started with Shiv Stuti and Pakistanis were shocked about it.

You're probably wondering how #Oppenheimer was able to develop a nuke so fast.

That's right, he used ChatGPT!

But 99% people don't use its full potential.
