In this piece for @SciPublic's blog companion, I reflect on the fate of “scientific temper” in India as it sits amidst misinformation, mythic claims, and brittle forms of authority. sagepus.blogspot.com/2026/04/by-ris…

As Trump calls for renewed U.S. #NuclearTesting, the world is reminded of its devastating legacy — from 🇲🇭 Marshall Islands to 🇺🇸 Nevada to 🇰🇿 Kazakhstan to 🇩🇿 Algeria to 🇰🇮 Kiribati, communities still live with the fallout. In case you missed: thenation.com/article/world/…

Nothing in here is correct. Russia's stockpile is larger than ours, by a small margin. Trump did not create a larger stockpile by "updating" in his first term. No nation except North Korea has tested nuclear weapons since the 1990s.

Here is my op-ed for @htTweets examining multiple growth paradoxes of the Chinese economy. The recently announced stimulus package, I argue, is far from adequate and unlikely to resolve the woes facing China's economy (DM-me for full text) @irgssnioe hindustantimes.com/opinion/chinas…

Emotional appeals & petitions of reason do not work very well in global politics!! Peace movements emerge when security pursuits are no longer perceived as rational but are seen as acts of insanity! My take on #NagasakiDay #RememberOurHumanity 360info.org/risk-of-nuclea…

Writing for @thewire_in, Prof. @KapilD_P @irgs analyzed the 80th birthday of the nuclear bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The memory and struggles of atomic bomb victims should be honored, as the world currently faces growing risks of nuclear war. thewire.in/history/eighty…

On the 80th anniversary of the Hiroshima & Nagasaki bombings, I write about the growing risks of nuclear war and the need to memorialise and recount the struggles of atomic bomb survivors. @STGS_FAU @irgssnioe #Hiroshima80 #NeverForget #Peace

At exactly 8:15 a.m. JST, around the time you’re reading this, 80 years ago, an atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. Today, we remember the lives lost, the survivors who continue to speak out, and the urgent need for nuclear disarmament. Read more here: icanw.org/remembering_th…

Today was the worst day in US-India relations since New Delhi tested nuclear weapons in May 1998.
