Wrong-side driving is on the rise; what it says about the future of India
'Most of our problems come from the same force that condones wrong side driving. The fire that broke out in a Delhi hotel a few days ago, killing 21, was caused by the same mindset that empowers people to take a 10-tonne vehicle out on the street, drive on the wrong side the whole day, and face no consequences, unless someone takes a video, posts it on social media and tags the police. Any officer in this country can just step out of his office, on to the road, and see wrong-side driving within five minutes, but they appear to notice it only on social media.'

@ManCity GOAT. Won’t be missed 😅

It doesn’t matter whose hand is making a cloth because there is no immediate one-to-one mapping of whose data is and who it harms. There needs to be collective community muscle. Otherwise, we are doing the work that is supposed to make us redundant. https://t.co/B9SBlMu6S2

The past was glorious. Our civilisational ethos does celebrate unity in diversity. But our present politics and hate speech from top leaders sadly reflects a different lived reality. And no amount of diplomatic nuance can defend every day mob lynching and assault cases to calls for economic boycott of minorities reported from across the country. Frankly these are questions that need to be answered by the top political dispensation who run entire election campaigns fuelled by hate for specific communities. Our diplomats can not answer on behalf of the hate mongers .

#Cannes jury president Park Chan-wook says "I don’t think politics and art should be divided."

" I think it’s a strange concept to think that they’re in conflict with each other. Just because a work of art has a political statement, it should not be considered an enemy of art. At the same time, just because a film is not making a political statement, that film should not be ignored. Even if we are to make a brilliant political statement, if it’s not expressed artfully enough, it would just be propaganda. So what I want to say is that art and politics are not concepts that are in conflict with each other, as long as they are artistically expressed, they are valuable."

The Pakistani Buddha of Liberty

In the collection of the MET in New York, there is a Gandharan Buddhist sculpture from present-day Pakistan that bears an uncanny resemblance to the Statue of Liberty.

🇮🇳📚Two million books, free for anyone to borrow and read.

That's what Anke Gowda, a retired sugar factory worker from India's southern Karnataka state, has accumulated over the past five decades.

@TVMohandasPai Dialogue is not delusion. It is how serious nations manage adversaries. To conflate engagement with complicity is very clever, so that the only position left is permanent refusal. Everything becomes binary: loyalty or betrayal. That’s not strategy. That’s theatre.

Winning the World Cup twice in a row, the first time any team has done so in the T20 format. Totally deserving and rightful winners of the trophy.

What a fantastic performance by our team and a special brand of cricket on display.

Well done, Team India. Jai Hind! 🇮🇳🏆
