Indians cannot recognize an enemy if he isn't literally screaming with hate in their face. The Owaisi brothers are the most explicit demo of Good-Cop-Bad-Cop, and our geniuses still fall for it. Simping for a literal Islamist because he ... agrees with them on cricket matches?
#WATCH | During the discussion on Operation Sindoor in the House, AIMIM MP Asaduddin Owaisi says, "Does your conscience allow you to ask the family members of the people who were killed in Baisaran to watch India's cricket match with Pakistan?... We are stopping 80% of Pakistan's…
Many people get shocked when they find out (dis)honour killings aren’t uncommon in Tamilnadu. They lament, “How can this happen in the land of Periyar?”. This is like a doctor making a wrong diagnosis, giving a wrong medicine and when the disease worsens, hoping that increasing…
Why I am sceptical of so called 3D chess strategies 👇. Who uses whom isn’t controlled; the messers become the messees and you end up with inverse Baazigar outcomes - small tactical Ws for big strategic Ls. That’s just pragmatically, the loss in *principle* is there beyond that
It's not about intellectual rigor though, clarity bit i agree.....it's abt every single person in RW thinking they are too smart to fall in line and taking perverse pride in showing I am not a sheep. It's abt fact checking yudhisthir when he goes ashwattama hatah
The rush to heap praise on Owaisi is a reflection of the issues that plague RW thinking and discourse - chief of which is a touching naïveté and lack of Shatrubodha. Such innocence would be cute if it didn’t have real world negative externalities

requiring Waymos to have drivers does not go far enough. every time you hit play on Spotify, you must pay a live band to perform the song in front of you. every time you use a dishwasher, you must pay a human dishwasher to wash your dishes for you.
And now! Boston city council members introduce a bill to require drivers in Waymos and create an AV advisory board stacked with unions.
In today’s conditions the adage “a responsible opposition is necessary for democracy” rings hollow in India. Embarrassing to hear what passed for debate in Parliament yesterday. Their idea is “more unhinged, the better.” Not sure if that will help them in any way.
The speech by EAM Dr. Jaishankar Ji was outstanding. He highlighted how the world has clearly heard India’s perspective on fighting the menace of terrorism through Operation Sindoor. @DrSJaishankar youtu.be/EnQwZt5TsrM?si…

For most of your life you’re either being taken care of, or you’re taking care of someone (children and/or the elderly). It is roughly the 18-30 age bracket when it is neither. Ideologies that cater to the impulses of that short timeframe, and make that foundational, are flawed

I love a good counter-counter-intuitive research finding — the *real* reason companies hire consulting firms is that doing so makes them more productive, leaving to higher pay for workers and more profits for owners. eml.berkeley.edu/~schoefer/scho…
Younger folks on X should know how far we have come: In UPA era, terrorism was so routine, that a policy think tank I know seriously proposed as its top idea for the problem statement on countering terror ….that we should ramp up ambulances! From that to these 👇expectations!
Indian opposition leaders today have asked why India fired missiles at Pakistan from a "distance" and not close-range and if that was not enough, another asked why Modi ji did not break Pakistan apart. According to that leader of the Congress, a party that led us through 26/11,…

“Yes, I went to China. I went to make our position clear on trade restrictions and terrorism. I did not go to open the Olympics or sign secret agreements,” says S Jaishankar pointing to the UPA’s China strategy
