I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: #ElonMusk’s ownership of twitter is going to turn out to be one of the most consequential political events of this century. This will have serious implications for disputes, wars & civil strife everywhere, from Taiwan to Tigray. Twitter is now an important part of the economy. Many, many orgs & individuals depend on it for their most basic survival — especially non-profits. They are all now at the mercy of one very rich, whimsical man. #elonmusktwitter

For the first time in my life, I think there is nothing for India to celebrate on its Independence Day. If it hadn’t been for wise leaders during the first decade after independence, India would have looked like Afghanistan. But the Republic they built is now nowhere to be seen. India’s republic has been in decline for a few years, but never had India sunk lower than in the past year: lies & deceit during the pandemic, and communalism & bigotry dominating our society. Our freedom fighters have been let down. We have nothing to be proud of as a generation

It’s difficult to escape the fact that @DrSJaishankar was lying about the Philippines not needing oxygen. It’s a lie with far too many holes: to start, they actually opened the gates for the IYC volunteers. So if the man would lie about this, can he be believed about anything? And it wasn’t even something he really needed to lie about. He could easily have come off looking graceful if he’d just thanked the IYC volunteers for their national service & then said MEA is creating a helpline for embassies, coordinating supply etc. But no. He lied instead.

I strongly support the cause of making the following (and only these) free: education (incl university), healthcare, drinking water & air. Every citizen should have equal opportunity to build themselves. The govt wastes too much money on other needless things & doesn’t do its job The next time someone says “but the govt doesn’t have money to spend on education, healthcare, water or air” (1/n)
