If you want to hear more about the key takeaways from #COP26, @NavrozDubash is hosting a virtual discussion @CPR_India on Nov 17th at 5:30 pm IST. Register here: us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regist…
Out now: new episode of #GrandTamasha with climate expert @NavrozDubash of @CPR_India on the implications of #COP26 for India--and the world. grand-tamasha.simplecast.com/episodes/what-…
One thing I learned from @NavrozDubash on #GrandTamasha this week:

Remember that whole 11th-hour fracas about India insisting on a "phase down" rather than "phase out" of coal? Well, "phase down" was lifted straight from the US-China joint declaration. grand-tamasha.simplecast.com/episodes/what-…

🇬🇧🇮🇳 1/ Today, we are releasing a detailed, new study on the political attitudes of British Indians. The Indian diaspora in the United Kingdom is now the largest immigrant group in the country. Yet, we know far too little about their political attitudes. bit.ly/3HwOPZF Image
2/ This report—by @CEDuckworth21, Devesh Kapur, and me—draws on a new, nationally representative survey of nearly 800 British Indian eligible voters conducted w/ @YouGov in August 2021. The survey has an overall margin of error of +/- 3.5 percent. Image
3/ This report provides an empirically robust and analytically nuanced picture of the attitudes of this increasingly important demographic. Some of our top-line findings follow: Image

1/ Some interesting insights from latest JP Morgan note on COVID crisis in India.

First, while aggregate *reported* cases have stabilized at 350K, seeing a rotation in states (test positivity rates in MH, CH, MP stabilizing while WB, UP, DL rising) markets.jpmorgan.com/research/email…
2/ Mobility/economic recovery indices have plummeted as rolling lockdowns become more prevalent markets.jpmorgan.com/research/email…
3/ Absolute pace of vaccinations has slowed from 3.4 million/day to 2.6 million/day over the last 10 days markets.jpmorgan.com/research/email…

1/ New @CarnegieEndow product: how is the world reacting to Biden's first 100 days? Perspectives on the EU, Middle East, China, Russia, and--yes--India carnegieendowment.org/2021/04/27/wor…
2/ Ashley J. Tellis' piece on US-India is well worth reading (as always). Key takeaway: "Trump’s defeat produced palpable uncertainties in New Delhi. One hundred days into Biden’s presidency, these doubts have not been erased, but they have been allayed." carnegieendowment.org/2021/04/27/wel…
3/ On the recent COVID brouhaha, Tellis writes: "Despite early fumbles, the administration’s support for India in managing its current spike in COVID-19 cases will hopefully deflate the unjustified complaints about the U.S. DPA being the principal cause of India’s vaccine woes."

1/ I've been helplessly watching the humanitarian crisis unfold in India. Friends' anxiety has turned to distress. Distress has turned to panic. Smart people in the US govt are working behind the scenes to help. But it's time for private deliberation to turn into public action.
2/ I'm no expert on public health or humanitarian crises, but I think there are at least four key elements of a response. First, we need to see senior U.S. leadership express solidarity with the Indian people. To Indians and Indian Americans, empathy will be welcome.
3/ Second, the US has the capacity to provide oxygen, ventilators, medication & emergency supplies. The public sector can galvanize private support. If the optics of the US Defense Dept delivering relief is problematic, there are other workarounds, including via 3rd countries.

.@gautambhatia88 reviews the tenure of Chief Justice Bobde--"Evasion, Hypocrisy, and Duplicity," reads the title. You can guess what comes next. But worth reading in full: indconlawphil.wordpress.com/2021/04/23/eva…
This is an especially infuriating paragraph, on judicial evasion in the context of challenges to the electoral bond scheme, indconlawphil.wordpress.com/2021/04/23/eva…
As is this para on judicial evasion: challenges to important constitutional cases--abrogation of 370, EWS reservations, Aadhaar Act, etc.--remain pending indconlawphil.wordpress.com/2021/04/23/eva…

1/ As a Washington, DC resident for the better part of two decades, I experienced a visceral reaction to the events of January 6. Here's my attempt in @htTweets to make sense of them hindustantimes.com/opinion/americ…
2/ I think there are, for me, 4 big takeaways. First, the Trump era serves as a vivid illustration that institutions are ultimately only as strong as the social norms that underpin them, and the individuals who mobilise to support them hindustantimes.com/opinion/americ…
3/ Second, democratic accountability cannot be limited to the ballot box alone. Desperate talk of the need to protect the country from Trump to avoid further chaos in his final days only underlines the series of missed opportunities to hold him to account. hindustantimes.com/opinion/americ…
