I think the fact that the Indian withdrawal from Ayni occurred 3 years ago and was only reported now is a emblematic of India's entire stint at Ayni. No one knew what India was doing there and why, up to and including when it withdrew.

It is learnt Tajikistan asked India to vacate the base because of pressure from Russia and China over having non-regional military personnel at the base.

This is the “violation” for which over 100 Palestinians have been slaughtered overnight in retribution
This report by an Israeli military journalist admits that Israel doesn’t know whether Hamas gave an order to the cell that killed an IDF soldier last night and that it’s highly plausible they have been disconnected from communication

Right. It’s not the MAGA evangelicals who want to bring about Armageddon & openly talk about it in their “sermons”.
I think T. Carlson is the stupidest man in Christendom. Thick as a Gurkha's foreskin, as my college bartender used to say.

Part 2 1. Among the major alliances, BJP have fielded maximum upper caste while RJD has fielded maximum BC candidates. With @Roshanjnu , @naalmot
In a two part series based on this data, @NishantTISS and @Roshanjnu analyse 2025 candidates. Part 1: OBCs are roughly equally represented in both alliances, but MGB list is tilted relatively more towards BCs and NDA towards EBCs. Upper castes are over-represented in both.

I am not dividing academics into groups, I am outright rejecting the claims of Hindutva scholars to serious scholarship.
@lucifer_damned Does that show your academic integrity? You're already dividing the academic into groups. That's questionable for an academic, don't be that biased, you lack professional decorum.

Chief Election Commissioner, Gyanesh Kumar made a mindless argument while announcing SIR all over the country. He said there was no need to undertake standard computerised deduplication of voter IDs because only criminally minded voters would enlist twice. Whatever that means. We
1/Investigations by @reporters_co found lakhs of duplicates even after the Special Intensive Revision in Bihar. Yet, CEC Gyanesh Kumar has doubled down on not applying deduplication software during phase 2 of SIR in 12 Indian states.

Someone should make .@AbishBanerj drink cholera infested water after diluting it with “clean water”.
Dear Newslaundry, Stop hiring dumb arts graduates This guy explains that Yamuna isn't inherently clean ... it has been diluted with clean water! YES! That's what it means for water to be cleaner ... lower concentration of pollutant! Hilarious anti-science rant!

Vaccine skepticism separated the Hindutva crowd from the alt right and we obviously needed a charlatan like vembu to give it an aura of respectability. Given the lack of scientific temper in India, it has been the campaigning by the state which ensured babies survived.
Parents should take this analysis seriously. I believe there is increasing evidence that we are giving way too many vaccines to very young children. This is spreading in India too and we are seeing a rapid increase in autism in India.

Hindutva “intelligentsia” is in a toxic relationship with academia. They repudiate it but also want to be desperately accepted by it. They want to be cited, invited to Ivy League conferences and looked upon with respect - convince themselves that they too have “arrived”.

The kind of nonsense you publish as opinion piece when you haven’t read anything by a scholar whom you critique based on her nationality. Btw, the best translation of the Ramayana (till date) is by the Goldmans and Pollock (Ayodhyakanda), i.e. so called western scholars!
My take on the controversy around Prof Francesca Orsini's deportation It stems mainly from an astounding sense of entitlement that foreign scholars are immune to the visa laws or immigration rules of a third world country. (1/6) Link in adjoining post.

How many people know the Modi govt told the parliament last year that, based on expert opinion, cloud seeding as an emergency measure to improve Delhi's air quality was not feasible? It was categorical but the BJP govt in Delhi continues with this failed gimmickry.

Interestingly, this is exactly what Shekhar Gupta asks the Israeli ambassador when the ambassador was making a case for killing Al-Jazeera journalists in Gaza - Gupta asks him: were they "terrorists with words" or "armed terrorists". +
“They came up with this term called ‘narrative terrorism’, which means you can be a terrorist for telling a story. That’s how (journalist) Fahad Shah spent 4 yrs in prison & lawyer/ activist Khurram Parvez is in prison for 4 yrs.” - Filmmaker Aamir Bashir.

If this report is right, government has steeply hiked outlay on the Great Nicobar port alone -- from Rs 41,000 crore to Rs 100,000 crore ( https://t.co/TzbLqw4vPZ). Even at Rs 41,000 crore, the port was unviable. At Rs 100,000 crore, even more so. Not adding up.

A matter of national shame, especially when the SC allows bursting of crackers and the govt fudges/ suppressed the pollution data.

As Nehru had said, once you have given up Indian citizenship and taken another's country's citizenship, be loyal to that country. That has to be the starting point of any conversation on this subject.
