"Everything is not DS sir"
I keep getting this comment under my posts. The thing is I mostly talk about the DS hand when I see it. So the comment is like telling a cardiologist "everything is not about the heart" under his posts, because the patient already has kidney disease.
The cardiologist will acknowledge the kidney issue but say he will talk about the heart because that's what is going to cause major issues now and that's his specialty. This is my answer to everyone who posts that one liner seeded to dilute my warnings on the DS.
Imagine the country to be a complex system like the body. Yes the body's genetics will predetermine something like heart disease. The issue is systemic. Agreed.
But if someone then warns the fast food, tobacco, and drinks companies are making him sick and helping the healthcare industry, it would be silly to argue and say "why blame them and their products, he already has heart disease."
Why?
Because he may already have heart disease, but if he's influenced by the fast food, tobacco, and drinks companies, keeps doing as they say in their ads, it will worsen his own condition and accelerate "regime change" on the body - that's death (and rebirth if you believe it.)
A doctor will warn you about dangers of colds, flus and lab created covid if you have an immune condition. Yes, your ailment is already there. You already have an issue. But if you give them a chance, the viruses will hijack your system badly utilizing your issue and do a regime change on your body.
Understood?
Remember my analogies and tell your friends why talking about the DS is important. Tell them "yes a country has issues but you can't ignore the outside hand that's trying to hijack the issues, amplify our problems, and institute a regime change."
Great to have @RatanSharda55, author and commentator, at @Kennedy_School for an engaging AMA on Conflict Resolution: The RSS Way, jointly organized by two Student Caucuses, @HaritGlobal & Law and Policy.
- Conflict resolution is about identifying commonalities, expanding the zone of possible agreement, building trust, and working patiently towards a larger purpose.
- Non-profit organizations should engage constructively with governments rather than adopting a purely adversarial stance. The best alternative to a negotiated agreement isn’t always confrontation; collaboration can often yield better outcomes.
- The success of RSS lies in its perseverance, its ability to build a purposeful network, and its relentless work on the ground. Rather than positional bargaining, its approach focuses on coalition-building and long-term value creation.
Encouraging to see the curiosity of the HKS community in exploring fresh approaches, asking tough questions, and engaging in meaningful dialogue. Great to see the organization participating in such platforms.
Thanks, Ratan ji, for this insightful session!

@ProfWootton @MayuDeshp If you are opining on insanity or lack of it. . If they don’t have a defence of insanity you are saying there is some culpability as his defence is not absolute.
@MayuDeshp Nigel Eastman (RIP) used to refer this as difference between medical land and legal land. This is not as simple as I will not comment on it. End of.
@MayuDeshp used to be the same on various issues
