@priti_salian @ejcnet @BBC_Future Great story! I once took part in a study tour with Frank Hoffmann and other Ashoka Fellows to Bangalore when he had first talks with Indian partners about introducing the idea to India. Brings back fond memories.

“the discipline of political science has been almost completely colonized by mathematical models, data analysis, and numeric reasoning. … one wonders whether such dominance in the discipline crowds out more insightful ways to understand politics.” https://t.co/9uoIMiPvbz

Football is a simple game. 22 men chase a ball for 90 minutes and in the end... @GaryLineker will win. Eisern!

What is Equity?
It refers to fairness &justice and is distinguished from equality: While equality means offering the same to all, equity means recognising that we do not all have the same starting point and need to acknowledge and redress imbalances.

„This will definitely be a multipolar world“, Scholz says. And he makes it clear that now is key moment for West to invest in more productive relationship with key players of „Global South“.
Next week‘s trip to Delhi will be part of this effort.

There are over 21 million people with disability in our country. For most of them, accessing healthcare is an exhausting process due to physical, financial, and attitudinal barriers they face within the healthcare system. (1/3)
