#RaisinaEdit | If “Data is the New Oil” then our individual data has intrinsic value and, thus, the monetisation of the collective data of millions of our citizens is the proverbial gold mine, says Abdul Hakeem Ajijola: or-f.org/85352
Economic interdependence, imperatives of political geography, and Beijing’s successful elite capture in many societies have made it difficult for many in Asia to contest the unfolding Chinese dominance over the region, points out @MohanCRaja#RaisinaEdit: or-f.org/85281
.@priyankac19: There is a dichotomy that exists in India. We are on the right track in terms of our climate goals. But we still have 1.7 million deaths attributed to air pollution. 17 of our 20 metro cities are among the worst polluted in the world. #Raisina2021
