Retired and argumentative Indian. Do not ask me if I remember how India was in 2014. I can remember India even in 1970s

On the last day of the year, allow me to boast about the few things I did (and avoid mentioning the hundreds of things I intended to but never did). A short thread... I wrote a book and @AlephBookCo published it

UP’s cough-syrup mafia owned by a dismissed constable,who resides in a 7,000-sqft mansion. ED raids in UP’s cough-syrup laundering racket have now exposed the surreal scale of corruption inside the system. Dismissed cop Alok Pratap Singh (already linked to past gold heists and
236 cops in Karnataka suspended for crimes ranging from robbing 78 grams of gold to armed robbery, kidnapping, extortion to mastermind-level heists to vanishing ₹11 lakh from a suspect, Hope this is system weeding out its worst elements and not widespread. Else frightening

Reached Delhi after returning from Sri Lanka and I am so numb. Our lives in India really amount to nothing. You don’t need to compare India with Europe man - there’s a country with so much better air, roads, infrastructure, cleanliness and civic sense right in our neighbourhood.

There was time when TV news could influence outcomes, Jessica Lal - just one case in point. Today’s newsroom leaders have scripted their own irrelevance. The only notable exception is Sonal Mehrotra, who’s been at it for almost 3 months now. But should something this existential

The city was like a gas chamber yesterday, today promises to be no better. If you have holiday plans to come to Delhi for Xmas New Year, safer to cancel them. The air is toxic. https://t.co/TrRYcTVNOR

Insane story. The CIA once hauled a plutonium-powered “portable nuclear device” up a Himalayan peak to spy on China… then a blizzard hit and they left it behind. It’s likely still buried in a glacier feeding the Ganges — a river system that supports ~600 million people.

Yet again, Harvard dismisses the head of a center (this one on health and human rights) because Trump wrongly equates legitimate criticism of Israeli repression of Palestinians with antisemitism.

#WATCH | Gujarat Deputy CM Harsh Sanghavi arrived in Vadnagar unexpectedly without any protocol or convoy, as an ordinary citizen. He personally inspected cleanliness, public toilets, ongoing development projects, and archaeological sites. He also interacted with the locals.

@ProsaicView not Orwell/1984 quote. Here's a real one The masses never revolt of their own accord and they never revolt merely because they are oppressed Indeed so long as they are not permitted to have standards of comparison they never even become aware that they are oppressed

It's so American how the Sackler family caused a national opioid crisis which ultimately led to the fentanyl crisis, and instead of imprisoning them the US eventually went "Hang on, we can use this as an excuse to start a war with a country that doesn't even produce fentanyl."

Israel moves to “legalize” 19 settlements in the occupied West Bank. The move doesn’t change the fact that all such settlements are illegal — war crimes — under the 4th Geneva Convention barring transfer of an occupier’s population to occupied territory.

Israel's cabinet has decided to give legal status to 19 settlements in the occupied West Bank, including two that were vacated 20 years ago under a pullout aimed at boosting the country's security...

The most notorious child sex trafficker in history was not only best friends with Donald Trump for 15 years, he had novelty condoms made up with Trump’s face on them and the words “I’m HUUUUGE!” But yeah, definitely nothing to see here.
