My piece at Swarajya on who actually owns the brains behind India's Automotive industry.
This is blowing up, and I am learning from the responses as well!
Keep 'em coming.

Several years ago, engineers at a major Indian OEM wanted to add a simple valve to their own engine.
They knew how to do it. The problem: the software running inside their own vehicle's ECU was locked. The key was in Germany.
Three years later, the problem remained unsolved. 🧵
Time for more eyeballs on @MEAIndia
IFS overall needs to be overhauled.
They are more interested in writing books than, oh I dunno, STOPPING India haters from coming here.
🚨 BREAKING: Anti-India Islamist leader Zakir Hossain Rokon is now in Delhi.
He is well-known for anti-India slogans. He always chanted “No Delhi, Only Dhaka.” Today he is at Global VFS in Delhi.
When someone questions him, he runs away. How did he get an Indian entry visa?
Why was she issued a visa in the first place @MEAIndia ? Shameless much?
Do our leaders even know what many Indians go through when they try to get a schengen visa?
I got a visa to India and was supposed to leave this morning to attend the Bharat Summit in Hyderabad. I had been invited as a panelist and speaker on the future of media and press freedom.
But «orders from above» in the Ministry of Home Affairs have cancelled my visa.
Here is my message for @AmitShah
David Warner has backed Chris Broad's claim that Darren Lehmann got away lightly over Sandpapergate.
Broad, the father of Stuart Broad, said in an interview "I am very angry at Lehmann." He also said "he has got away lightly because, OK, he left his job a few months later, but he did not get any sanctions." Warner replied on X "I couldn't agree more, and that's hard for me to say."
Steve Smith and Warner received 12 month bans and Cameron Bancroft received nine months. Lehmann resigned voluntarily and faced no official sanction. Cricket Australia's investigation suggested he had no prior knowledge, and Lehmann has denied knowing about the plan.
That is 33 months of bans for three players and none for the coach. Warner served one of those bans, and he is now publicly backing a call that the coach should have faced a sanction too.
Khawaja's book reopened the players' side of the story. Warner is now reopening the coach's.
