What's left unsaid in the article are the next steps if other countries don't counter. - China's overcapacity will wipe out firms in other countries - When things heat up, it will impose new export control will come on solar modules, wind turbine nacelle parts etc. - energy
China is now making more money from exporting green technology than America makes from exporting fossil fuels. This trend will continue simply because renewables are cheap. By the end of last year, the country had installed 887 gigawatts of solar-power capacity—close to double

One the first things I had wanted on @dataforin was work on infant mortality - it's such a fundamental public health indicator, but I felt that I knew so little about it. We're very proud to have published @nileena_suresh's piece for us last week:
dataforindia.com
The number of children who do not survive until their first birthdays has fallen dramatically. Yet parts of the country have relatively high Infant Mortality Rates, and the first week of a child's...

New on @dataforin: our deep-dive into unorganised manufacturing in India, by @akwaghmare
https://t.co/5LO7TqWCwZ 20 million unorganised manufacturing units employ 60-75% of India's manufacturing workforce, so it's vital to understand them. Some key insights:

Most of India's manufacturing workforce is in the unorganised sector, working in small, family-run units. In this piece we look at the size and scale of unorganised manufacturing in the country, what...

Please Indian authors I'm begging you. Stop with the jacaranda trees and the peacock feathers and the sweet adrak chai. If you must mention them, at least wait till page 2.

I was intimidated by the following person over a false claim that my reporting was against the Maratha community. This despite the fact that my updates have contained nothing against the community. I request this be noted @MumbaiPolice @CPMumbaiPolice
मुंबई मधील times of india च्या पत्रकार आहेत @richapintoi यांनी मुंबईत मराठे कसे ट्रॅफिक जाम करतात, मराठे कसे रोडला अंघोळ करतात असे मांडून या बाई मराठ्यांची प्रचंड बदनामी करत आहेत.. यांना मी कॉल करून विचारलं की मुंबई मध्ये युपी बिहारीं बांगलादेशी लोक फुटपाथ ला राहून अंघोळी करतात..

Chelsea is building a team with 25 midfielders and 35 forwards it seems. Maybe they want to play all leagues in Europe.

Breaking rules is the norm in Pune now. No policemen on roads and signals, no imposition of fines. It is terrifying to drive on the roads these days. Rule breakers are ruling the streets. When will you realise Pune's plight, @CPPuneCity @Dev_Fadnavis? After it is beyond repair?
Two men assault car driver on Khadki road because he stopped them from driving on the wrong side. Then these 2 call two more ppl & they all beat up the car driver causing him to bleed. #RoadRage in the city is worse than ever before. #punenews #PunePolice #Punetraffic

So you bump straight into a parked car after descending a ramp? When will Indian infra projects appeal and amaze us with perfection at the first look?

Good example to distinguish disinformation from misinformation. This headline from @LoksattaLive quotes a political leader saying that a recent political meeting IS AN "अपराध..." (like, political treason) while the news body quotes him saying it IS NOT AN अपराध. Fascinating stuff

Of the three key sectors that a country’s economy is divided into - agriculture, industry and services - agriculture is still crucial to the Indian economy. However, this is changing in two important ways. In the 1970s, about three-fourths of India's workers were engaged in

Wikipedia is fucking incredible. Concise, so well organized and easy to read, frictionless rabbit holing, filled with concrete details (unlike many books, which are largely vacuous monologues). People often ask me for book recs. Most books suck. Read Wikipedia instead lol.

India has 100cr adults. About 60 cr of them are in labour force, and more than 55 cr actually work. Only 12cr odd Indian adults are in salaried jobs. India is creating more jobs every year, but salaried jobs less so. But net job cuts in banks, tech firms? Genuinely baffled.
