Modiâs virtual presence may keep him out of Trumpâs reach, but it also keeps him out of the worldâs most important conversation. The question is not whether Modi will meet Trump, but when he will once again assert Indiaâs voice in the real arena of global diplomacy...

The Indian system doesn't allow values above 500 while the US system allows values above 500. But this doesn't explain why Siri Fort was showing 272 in CPCB when IQAir was showing 2449. Imagine the level to which official AQI data is being subdued.

Focus of drug regulatory authorities/govt is on pharma industry not on patient interest. Norms are allowed to be lax..otherwise there is no reason DEG should have killed Indian children after the chemical was found responsible for deaths of kids in Gambia https://t.co/CkjcnCQhdJ

Women live longer, suffer more morbidities and mobility issues. Govt health insurance only covers hospitalisation, leaving out-patient care, medicines and home based care out of its purview. IRDAI needs to mandate insurance industry creates products that address these gaps.

All political parties speak for their constituencies. So this call for allowing green crackers in Delhi begs the question- is Delhi ok coughing, wheezing and gasping for air? Is the majority ok watching young kids, & elderly struggle with COPD? #pollution #delhipollution

Bihar - The State that Progress Forgot. More than 50% of its population is of working age. But not many are even looking for employment because of a lack of quality jobs. Mftg hasnât grown in 20 yrs. Why would that state reward Mr. Nitish Kumar with a tenth term as CM?
