"Delighted to see this initiative by ten members of the US Congress. When i questioned the silence of the diaspora it was to express concern that they were not pressing their political representatives to take a stand like this. If influential American politicians can speak up with or without diaspora pressure it will surely have some influence on US policy. (Incidentally five of the ten signatories here were among the political leaders our multi-party delegation met in Washington this summer)"

"Deeply disturbed by the brutal assault on Dr Vipin PT at Thamarassery Taluk Hospital by a distraught father whose daughter succumbed to disease. Just over two years after the horrific murder of Dr Vandana Das it is clear that we in Kerala have failed to protect our doctors. Govt hospitals must become safe zones. Security protocols cannot wait. #JusticeForDoctors #Kerala"

"China just installed a mind-boggling XXX GW of solar capacity in the first half of 2025more than the rest of the world combined This highlights their aggressive leadership in the global clean energy race. India with its vast solar potential has the opportunity to follow this lead create a global power grid and become self-sufficient in energy maybe even an energy exporter.

"I welcome the pushback from @SuhagAShukla (& theres another one coming from @vivekwadhwa in tomorrows @IndianExpress). If my questions about the silence of the diaspora have got Indian-Americans thinking I am happy. Their challenges are indeed different from those of Jewish-Americans and Cuban-Americans the examples I cited in my piece. But that doesnt mean that within the rules of US democracy they cant make their voices heard as these other groups so effectively do"

"The police attack on Shafi Parambil MP while he was leading a protest march is unacceptable. In a democracy MPsespecially those in the oppositionmust be free to dissent without fear or reprisal. Such actions violate legal protections and democratic norms. Strict action is imperative. When MPs are targeted for leading protests or voicing dissent it weakens the very foundation of democratic accountability. Police brutality against a legislator is therefore not merely an individual wrong but a direct attack on parliamentary democracy itself. In Indias parliamentary democracy MPs are not above"

"This thoughtful and humane post by an Israeli is worth reading amid the tragic news coming in since yesterday: There is never any excuse for terrorism and India must condemn it unreservedly. But there is no excuse for dehumanizing occupation either and that too must end. Both the Israeli people and the Palestinans deserve to live in peace dignity and security in their own lands"

"A powerful piece by Smt Sonia Gandhi ji today urges India to live up to its moral convictions on Palestine. As a well-wisher of Israel myself and one who strongly defends its right to live in security & to repel terrorists I agree with her view that India's ethical and civilisational heritage demands that we stand up for justice for the innocent victims of the unfolding horror in Gaza. Israel is a proven friend of India. But as a friend we must tell them the truth: this carnage has already gone too far for too long. Israel must stop its merciless campaign"

"Poor soul has clearly never had a good one. A truly great idli is a cloud a whisper a perfect dream of the perfectibility of human civilisation. It's a sublime creation a delicate weightless morsel of rice and lentil steamed to an ethereal fluffiness that melts on the tongue. With the right accompaniments it is the culinary equivalent of a Beethoven symphony a Tagore sangeet a Husain painting a Tendulkar century. To call such a thing "regret" is to have no soul no palate no appreciation for the finest achievements of South Indian culture. I can only feel pity for @Molutty_writes and"

"Indias presence at the Sharm el-Sheikh Gaza peace summit at the level of a Minister of State stands in stark contrast to the heads of state gathered there. Strategic restraint or missed opportunity This is no reflection on Kirti Vardhan Singh whose competence is not in question; but given the galaxy of grandees present Indias choice could be seen as signalling a preference for strategic distance which our statements don't convey. And for reasons of protocol access alone India's voice at the Summit on issues of reconstruction and regional stability may carry less weight than it could have. In"
