#PadmaAwards

A friend's anecdote - as received

Dr. Ravi Kannan is a product of Kilpauk Medical College, Chennai and his MD specialisation was in Oncology / cancer.

Our uncle, his father was working with Indian Air force and was an expert in aerial photography.
#PadmaAwards

So our uncles family was always on the move from one airbase to another.

Ravi Kannan joined the Adyar Cancer Centre Chennai for a paltry salary and refused to join the pvt hospitals who offered him very very high pay package.
#PadmaAwards

He was so.passionate in his work and rose to be the No 2 in the Adyar Cancer Centre after the No 1 Dr.Shantha.

His specialisation was Head and Neck and obviously the most crucial and risky parts in the human body.

#Flashback2019

It’s that time of the year when we look back on how India charted new pathways in #Diplomacy and left an imprint on the global agenda.
The year began with the 10th #IndiaJapan Strategic Dialogue, which provided a platform for blossoming of deep rooted ties into a special strategic & global partnership
The then Japanese Foreign Minister @konotaromp attended the summit along with the former EAM Smt. Sushma Swaraj
@konotaromp @MofaJapan_en @IndianEmbTokyo @PIB_India A World Reorder: New Geometries; Fluid Partnerships; Uncertain Outcomes.
The 4th edition of @raisinadialogue, a flagship annual geopolitical and geostrategic conference, was organised by @orfonline and @MEAIndia

1.A quick thread about General Patton’s death and the spread of Communism.
(If unfamiliar with General’s story, Ronald Regan narrates this 30 min official video about Patton’s life.)


But lets dig deeper…
2.As WWII was coming to a close General Patton wanted to continue the fight against Communism, believing he could crush the Soviets in 6 weeks. Patton believed we had not liberated Europe and had set the conditions for the Cold War.
3. General Patton was angry about the political failures of WWII. His intimate knowledge of WWII coupled with his fearlessness & popularity made him a threat to many powerful people who wanted him dead.

At Supreme Court for important land acquisition cases up before a Constitution Bench.

ISSUE: When is compensation 'paid' to land owners under Section 24(2) Land Acquisition Act 2013?

CONTEXT: Money paid by big cos to govt treasury, not beneficiaries or court
@TheQuint
WHY IS THIS IN COURT?

➡️JAN 2014: 3 judge bench, SC says compensation to be paid into court, not treasury, so acquisition u/ old 1894 Act deemed to lapse, start anew

➡️FEB 2018: 3 judge bench, SC says paying govt treasury enough, sets aside 2014 decision, no lapse

@TheQuint
WHY IS THIS CONTROVERSIAL?

Justice Arun Mishra, who headed the beach that delivered the Feb 2018 decision...

is now heading the Constitution Bench set up to decide which interpretation of the land acquisition law was right.

More details @TheQuint

The unlikely similarity between BJP and the Tata Group

The Elections are over and the results are out. Now is the time for government formation. This is the time to to speculate about the leaders likely to be part of Modi's cabinet. 1/n
While thinking about it, it struck me , the uncanny similarity between BJP and the Tata Group.

Despite 100s of companies, of which nearly 30 are listed , Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) towers over all others and accounts for more than 3/4ths of the valuation of the group. 2/n
Narendra Modi is like TCS. Just like TCS came from nowhere , to become the dominant and most valuable company in the group, Narendra Modi started as a humble karyakarta , became CM and now towers over not just the party but the country.3/n

@sway_hi
After changing the selection process common ppl arw now being honoured becoz the emphasis is no longer on the nominee but the work done, without any "Sifarish" (recommendation).
1.
Lakshmikutty, a tribal woman from Kerala, who prepares 500 herbal medicine from memory and help thousands of people especially in snake and insect bite cases, is among the awardees.
