PM Modi's tweet on Asia Cup "wasn’t merely tone-deaf celebration. It represented... the deliberate equation of sporting triumph with military conflict, treating cricket victory as an extension of actual warfare where people die." I write for Cricket et al https://t.co/wzVMnPubSJ

So the Modi govt now recognises the Taliban as the legitimate rulers of Afghanistan? Will we see the Taliban's black and white flag instead of the Afghan flag? Does India condemn what the Taliban did to Indians in that country, attacking Indian consulate & in Kandahar hijacking?
Foreign Minister of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan will hold discussions with his Indian counterpart and other officials on various political, economic, and trade issues, as well as on the development of relations between Afghanistan and the region: Afghan foreign ministry

Do watch this stellar interview with @shammybaweja - the range and depth of her experiences tells you that the ceiling for journalistic reporting on conflict is very high, and what is possible. Sadly, the current lot in India is mostly operating below the floor instead.
#BookShook | @seemay speaks with @shammybaweja about surviving the 1984 riots, reporting from conflict zones, and the moment she realised violence is not just about killings but about the psychology and sociology behind it. Watch: https://t.co/uiTQ0Nr52K

The health minister of MP won't even take responsibility for these deaths. That's how brazen the whole system has been made since 2014.

A hammer looking for a nail. That's how the govt is using security forces where capacious political outreach is warranted.

"The Centre’s response has clearly sought to conflate dissent with acts akin to sedition. Mr. Wangchuk’s case is not an isolated one, as in the past, similar Acts were used to stifle dissent and bypass due process, as was the case with the detention of Kashmiri politicians..."

The Taliban guy is being given full protocol of a visiting minister by India. This is when the Modi govt claims that it opposes terrorism in all its forms.

Good edit from Deccan Chronicle on the shoe throwing at Dalit CJI. "Hate is a blind bull let loose on India by the Hindutva forces. Unless the country tames it, it will subsume the nation." https://t.co/wutzhrn07M
