This afternoon, before Dharmendra Pradhan announced resignation, situation was tense for a brief period of time. Reports of stone pelting came in & police resorted to firing tear gas shells.

Good points. This government. however, has followed a three-point policy.
1. Centralise
2. Centralise
3. Centralise

[Nitin Pai @acorn]

A good time to remind ourselves of India’s most important policy imperatives:

1. Create 20 million jobs per year

2. Ensure that schools & universities deliver high-quality education to every young person.

3. Rethink entrance exams as the way to select students/aspirants.
