I tried to reconstruct the story of India's gifting of a baby elephant to Afghanistan in 1973 to tell a larger story about conflict, Kabul, and Indo-Afghan friendship. Huge thanks to the brilliant & thoughtful @haramitheatre, @supriyan, @vikramshah1991& @medhavenkat!

In 1973, Kabul welcomed a very special Indian guest: a baby elephant named Hathi. The rest, as they say––

This week's story is "Hathi," by @r_soup. https://t.co/Di72BWqK0H

Sharing a very well curated photo exhibit on the life and work of Shashank Srinivasan, a hugely energetic, informed and innovative conservation biologist, who I had the privilege of mentoring for a while. Shashank passed away suddenly in April this year, aged just 38. He was working on the cutting edge of using technology to aid in conservation.

This is actually the article that should be circulating on the topic - one based on research, providing its sources, not to mention published years earlier than the piece in @scroll_in, which should be retracted.

@vmingoa Thanks Vivek. Of course - is there an email I could send it to? Hope all well

I wrote about Panjim, a city I'm still getting to know and love, for one of my favourite literary magazines @MekongReview

@AkshayJaitly2 I remember you mentioning this last year. Wish I'd known when I was working on my story:) You must be sitting on a treasure trove of such stories...! Thank you for the kind words

Of shikar, Dali, elephants, diplomacy, the Afghan civil war.🧵Our story this week is about the Indian state’s tryst with shikar. Rich westerners loved a good shikar holiday in India. The govt pushed shikar tourism, and Air India even came up with ads to attract these tourists.

Afghan friends: India is opening its borders (to all, not just minority communities), & has introduced an e-visa system that doesn’t require you to go to the (now shut) embassy. Taking a flight is tough, but New Delhi is now a serious option to consider.

New fighting in Afghanistan has forced almost 300,000 people to flee their homes since the start of the year.

You can help provide life-saving support to Afghans in need during this heart breaking moment in time: https://t.co/H1J0L9P30k
