India has officially rejected @JustinTrudeau's allegation. They had no other option. They could hardly have said, हमने कनाडा में घुस के मारा साले को.
From the moral high ground it once occupied, India has been reduced to the level of Pakistan which routinely issued such denials. This is a foreign policy failure for which I blame the weaponisation of the #GodiMedia which has been encouraged to turn every official statement of the Govt into a Modi MasterStroke.
The Private conversation between Mr Modi and Mr Trudeau should never have been broadcast.

A Thread.
Met a retired banker in my local temple. Lives in #Bengaluru. Visiting daughter's family in Essex. She's 'in software'. After the usual where? How long? he volunteers the opinion, "too many Blacks and Muslims in Britain"

We're all from ex-colonies. We're all the same, aren't we".

A tweet thread
Re: A (desparate) search of some scrap of evidence for "Hinduphobia".
The latest is an epidemic of hyperventilation in the Indian news media about a "shocking level of Hinduphobic attacks in Britain's schools."
Let's examine where this comes from. (1) If you google, as I did just now, "hate against Hindus in schools in UK", you'll get scores of hits of Indian news portanls and videos of panel discussions about the topic.

Stand by for some interesting findings re the Uttar Pradesh Global Investor Summit and and at least one of the Companies that is said to have signed up to an investment of 1 lakh crores (1 trillion rupees= 12.5 billion USD) to manufacture Electric vehicles. All very dodgy.

Okay here goes. The UP Global Investor Summit was organised bu the UP Govt in India between Feb 10 and 12, 2003. The President of the Union of India, no less, graced the occasion. #Rakshamantri Rajnath Singh talked about it.

India's scientists are forced to do research in areas such as cow urine and 'cow-pathy'. They waste precious talent, time and research budgets on coming up with amazing results such as this. But no matter their findings, cow-piss will still sell, such is the power of blind faith.

The fundamental problem is that India lacks the most elementary of attributes required for a "scientific temper" - scepticism. The burden of proof should be on those who promote cow-urine as an 'effective' remedy for some disease or condition.

Whatever the visiting #G20 dignitaries may say in public, the Prime Minister's Office, Ministers and others in the Indian Govt must be under no illusion, about what they must be thinking in private about the regime that makes so much about #G20Presidency This was most aptly put by @AndrewMMacLeod when he spoke frankly in the famous @TimesNow panel dicussion. Every G20 embassy in Chankyapuri must have sent a diplomatic cable back to their capitals and Chancelleries detailing events of the recent days.

National Car Parks Ltd, a private car parks ocompany ABSOLUTELY sucks. They operate car parks in towns, cities, airports, London Underground and National Rail stations. but as a service organisation they provide a shoddy service. Read on... In terms of a digital presence, they are backward looking dinosaurs. They have had a twitter presence since 2011 but their twitter handle says

This is juvenile behaviour, almost a childish attitude. In the case of the High Commission in London, @metpoliceuk have increased the police presence at their Strand building. Leaving the British High Commission exposed like this is not likely to mollify the Khalistani dissidents

@metpoliceuk I wouldn't be surprised if in the next few days we see a mob of the usual suspects marching on the British High Commission and/or the British Ambassador's residence in New Delhi. I am reminded of the organised Iranian protests outside US/UK embassies in Teheran in the 1980s.

#Hijab #HijabBan in educational institutions, the #Courts and #G20 What's the link?
A short thread.
@LiveLawIndia reported that the Supreme Court will look at the Hijab Ban case soon

When the Judges look at it again, I would submit that they should consider it solely on the basis of individual rights based on personal choice in the matter of dress and attire where the choice poses neither threat noor risk of harm to any third person.

So #G20 Foreign Ministers meeting ended without an agreed joint Communique.
There was a Chair's Summary and Outcome document (see link) but not a joint agreed unanimous statement. Indian diplomacy could not overcome entrenched positions.

Some apologists for Adani Group are praying-in-aid @AswathDamodaran - the Finance prof and acknowledged corporate valuation expert from NYU Stern B-School. He appears to reject @HindenburgRes allegation that the whole Adani financing model is a 'con' but read his blog He sets out his understanding of a con.
"A con game to me has no substance at its core, and its only objective is to fool other people, and part them from their money." By that definition Adani Group is NOT a total fraud operation - of course NOT. There is tangible physical
