Actually am quite pleasantly surprised that all these teenagers and their parents were okay to appear in this video. That’s the kind of grit a lot of people haven’t shown. The simple act of speaking up

Kerala woke up with ED at the gates of Pinarayi Vijayan's house today. The raids stem from a 37-page court order delivered ystdy. CMRL, a titanium and mineral-sands giant long known in Kerala for its big political donations, had asked the High Court to quash the ED's money-laundering case. The court refused. A 🧵 on the case and how it got here.

Any warmth, optimism and positivity that you have towards Chennai evaporates the moment you try catching a cab after stepping out of the airport

Because unlike most cities where you get out, open an app, book a cab and go, in Chennai you have to

Haul your luggage in the enervating heat to an overcrowded buggy stand.

Then wait for an buggy which takes an eternity to arrive.

Into which you are then stuffed like a sardine in a can and driven for 20 mins to a god forsaken "mall"

Where you again have to compete with a batallion of tired and hungry travellers and their luggage to get onto an elevator

Which will take you 3 floors up to a taxi stand where you hope there is cab available

Which will then drive you down those very three floors to take you into the city

I seriously cannot comprehend how the supposedly knowledgeable Chennai people messed up something as simple as an Airport cab pick up

All of Chennai's aspirations to be a megapolis dies in that gap between the airport arrival and that cab pickup station

For the sake of environment, fuel conservation and economy, I suggest we quickly build a metro from Vijay’s house to TN Governor’s house.

Tuesday was a black day for India. Friday has seen redemption in measures I could not have imagined.

For the first time in more than 30 years, a bill introduced by the government has failed to pass in the Lok Sabha. I am glad that it is this bill, which was conceived with malicious intent and without any logic, that has been defeated.

Parties that would ordinarily have been convinced of short-term benefits from an increase in seats have upheld oppositon unity to control the dictatorial tendencies of the government.

It is a sign that a politics of principles still exists in India, that there is still hope for a brighter future.

This is the turning point we have been waiting for. When he launched the election campaign, Chief Minister Thiru @mkstalin said “Tamil Nadu shall fight, Tamil Nadu shall win.”

Today, I am grateful to say: Tamil Nadu has fought, Tamil Nadu has won. India has fought, India has won.

PS: I am glad to be back in a white shirt, as the April heat in Madurai is not conducive to black shirts

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

This is our God: Jesus, King of Peace, who rejects war, whom no one can use to justify war. He does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war, but rejects them, saying: “Even though you make many prayers, I will not listen: your hands are full of blood” (Is 1:15).

"One friendship doesn't come in the way of another," Indira Gandhi said at the White House in 1982.

That line defined India’s foreign policy for decades. We were non aligned. We had relations with the US, the Soviet Union, Iran and many others at the same time. We did not treat friendships as exclusive.

India’s ties with Persia, today’s Iran, go back nearly 3000 years. We signed a Treaty of Friendship in 1950 when Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi ruled Iran. After the 1979 Islamic Revolution and after Ayatollah Ali Khamenei became Supreme Leader, India continued the relationship.

Iran was a major oil supplier to India. There was the proposed Iran Pakistan India gas pipeline. India invested in Chabahar Port to reach Afghanistan and Central Asia. Even under sanctions and global pressure, India balanced its interests.

We dealt with Iran under the Shah. We dealt with Iran under the Ayatollahs. At the same time we built strong ties with the United States and others. One friendship did not cancel another.

Now look at today. When senior Iranian leaders were assassinated, India did not even issue a condemnation. No strong statement. No principled stand. Just silence.

That silence is not strategy. It is surrender. It is moral cowardice dressed up as diplomacy. A government that thunders before the weak but goes quiet before the powerful cannot claim strategic autonomy.

This is not about supporting Iran’s ideology. It is about consistency. If India speaks of sovereignty and opposes targeted killings and violations of international law, that principle must apply everywhere, not selectively.

Earlier the message was clear. Engage everyone. Fear no one. Protect India’s interests.

That confidence defined non alignment. And that is why Indira Gandhi’s words still matter. One friendship should not come in the way of another.
