After 16 days of COVID i mixed my father’s ashes into a rose plant and two evergreen trees, sought his blessings, and return my broken heart to the reporting road for @themojostory starting travels through rural India. This will be a personal pilgrimage. Wish us luck and love

I found this incredibly moving - Punjab’s Spirit just shining through the tears - this child is everything 💔💜#chardikala #PunjabFloods.
This is the true spirit of Chardikala. From flood-ravaged Punjab comes a heart-touching video that has moved thousands online. In the clip, young children can be heard saying, “Saara samaan dubb geya… manje munje sabh dubb gya” — everything they owned, even their beds, was

Sometimes all it takes is a Few Good Wo(men). #PunjabFloods - @dc_amritsar - @rsrobin1 reports for @themojostory on the ground.
In flood-hit Punjab, Amritsar’s Deputy Commissioner Sakshi Sawhney - @dc_amritsar is at the helm of massive rescue and relief efforts, showing how a woman’s leadership can bring both strength and empathy in times of crisis. She is directing operations as Indian Air Force

Punjabis call it Chardi Kala - the unwavering belief in the human spirit & that’s on stirring display in the floods - worst in decades - but that’s no reason to expect people to manage this grave crisis on their own. Stand with Punjab. @rsrobin1 on ground @themojostory.
Punjabis are showing up big time ❤️ Standing shoulder-to-shoulder with families hit by floods, living the Sikh spirit of chardikala- eternal optimism, even in crisis. Volunteers are wading through water to deliver food, clean drinking water, mosquito repellent, dry milk, fodder

Just because the people of Punjab are inordinately brave in spirit, doesn’t mean this man made tragedy should be left to the army and locals to manage. @rsrobin1 is on the ground bringing home the scale of the tragedy for @themojostory.
Punjab, once called the land of plenty, is now drowning in its toughest fight not just against floods, but against despair. In Amritsar, villages lie submerged, fields that once fed families are buried under brown waters. People clutch the little they’ve managed to save, children

The images of the floods in #Punjab are absolutely devastating, made more poignant by the quintessential spirit of sewa and stoicism that marks the response. So far the rescue operations and rehabilitation seems to be led by army & locals. We need everyone to step in & step up💔

Modi Brings up Cross Border Terrorism with Xi Jinping & China Extends its Support - just one of many big developments from the SCO Summit thats sending all sorts of signals to #Trump. Decode it with @AmbMoKumar @TheSatishDua @VtChakarova @Ali_Wyne. In full

India’s China Move should be seen purely as a chessboard gambit, let’s not forget that three of the countries at the SCO - pakistan, china and turkey had varied roles against India in Operation Sindoor. Agree, though that Trump’s Transactionalism needs to be paid back in kind.

As Modi reaches China and more confirmations pour in of how Modi declined to speak to Trump on the phone, @LisaCurtisDC @Chidu77 @Greatbong & Peter Haller make enormous and engaging sense of geopolitics turned upside down. An excellent show in full here

Trump tariffs illegal says U.S court - he lashes out but now needs the American Supreme Court to endorse his tax war on the world, including and especially on India. Quick report for @themojostory
