Re-reading Rajat Kanta Ray’s The Felt Community, perhaps the best book on Indian nationalism in the last 50 years. Every Indian social science student one class old can quote Benedict Anderson. Few if any have ever heard of Ray. The fault lies with the ideologies of the tutors.

Dear Ms @HelleLyngSvends,
The Embassy is organizing a press briefing on the Prime Minister’s Visit this evening at 9:30pm at hotel Raddisson BluPlaza hotel. You are most welcome to come and ask your questions there.

Primeminister of India, Narendra Modi, would not take my question, I was not expecting him to. Norway has the number one spot on the World Press Freedom Index, India is at 157th, competing with Palestine, Emirates & Cuba. It is our job to question the powers we cooperate with.

Journalism is sometimes confrontational. We seek answers. If any interview subject, especially with power, do not answer what I asked, I will try to interrupt and get a more focused response. That is my job & duty. I want answers and not just talking points.

Two losses. A political loss for Modi and the BJP, and a second one for all those so-called “journalists” who were asking people to not looking at the facts or believe them but trying to sell the propaganda the establishment was feeding them.

@Aakar__Patel As @HartoshSinghBal always reminds us, today’s India is more unequal in wealth and income concentration than apartheid South Africa.

This ‘journalist’ doesn’t know that it’s Constitutional (131st Amendment) Bill. She is using a nomenclature made popular on social media. Tells you oodles about her credibility!

Apocalyptic economic fallout. NHK confirms Trump's disastrous war has completely paralyzed India's massive textile industry. With 90% of their LPG imports choked off at the Strait of Hormuz, HALF A MILLION workers just lost their jobs. The global supply chain is collapsing.
