"Trump: Planes were being shot out of the air. Fivefour or five but I think five jets were shot down actually. My 2: This squares with both credible international reporting and what Indians will admit to privately. Someone who follows this stuff closely told me India lost four planesincluding one Rafaleand a Heron drone on the night of May X. At this point Im not sure what purpose continued Indian government opacity about this serves. Hiding the truth only prolongs speculation"

"If you think of Indias old license-permit raj as a way to enhance productivity it was obviously bonkers. But if you think of it instead as a sophisticated system to extract bribes from businessmen it was well designed. From Backstage: The Story Behind Indias High Growth Years by Montek Singh Ahluwalia"

"I dont hate NPR. Ive appeared on it as a guest many times and have always been impressed by the quality of its journalism. There is nothing on right wing radio that approaches NPRs thoroughness and professionalism though the right does have some good podcasts. But its also true that some years back it began to feel like every second story on NPR was about race gender or sexuality. Old NPR came across as staffed mostly by left-of-center journalists striving for objectivity. New NPR felt like it was staffednot entirely but to a large extentby activists who had already made up their minds about"

"The BJP has obviously not created a dynasty. Modi has no children and nobody in their right mind thinks Jay Shah will ever be PM. You could however argue that Modi has ended the collective decision-making culture of the BJP. Vajpayee-Advani (or at times Advani-Vajpayee) dominated the party for some three decades but they never centralized power to the degree that Modi-Shah have done. So its probably fair to say that the BJP under Modi has created a high command a la Congress. But its ridiculous to call this high command dynastic"

"One of the strangest things about Pakistan is that its journalists and influencers spend 100x as much time criticizing Israels actions in distant Gaza than they do criticizing their own governments actions in next door Afghanistan"

"That Bangladesh sees no cultural value in the ancestral home of Satyajit Ray is a sad sign of the countrys trajectory. But I dont see why India should issue a statement about the buildings landmark status symbolising Bangla cultural renaissance. If Bangladesh chooses not to care about iconic Bengali cultural and literary figures thats their business. Its unfortunate of course. But ultimately every country gets to decide its own cultural priorities"

"Pakistani liberals who speak out against the horror of blasphemy killings are among the bravest people in the subcontinent. But its hard to be optimistic about this question. Maybe (at best) well reach a point where the threat of blasphemy killings becomes less common. But I cant imagine any Pakistani government civilian or military saying what is blindingly obvious to anyone living in a post-enlightenment society: Theres no such thing as blasphemy. Its a concept that belongs in our ignorant past like a belief in witches or in the medicinal power of leeches. In a civilized society you would"

"One of the most interesting and underreported stories in South Asian politics: A year ago @ImranKhanPTI was a galvanizing force among Pakistanisboth in Pakistan and abroadand also a minor international cause clebre. This is no longer true. You still see a few diehard IK supporters here and there on social media and the occasional post by a committed activist-journalist but for the most part both Pakistan and the world appear to have moved on. Imran is still rotting in jail. The field marshal is strutting his stuff in the White House. The once vocal Pakistani diaspora in London and Texas has"
