Breaking news! Dr Soumya Swaminathan @doctorsoumya has been elected as FRS, Fellow of Royal Society, one of the highest global hours that a scientist can receive. @royalsociety With her father Bharat Ratna Prof Swaminathan also being elected as FRS, this is the first daughter-father FRS duo from India. Also she is the second Indian woman scientist being elected in 365 years history of Royal Society, the first being Prof Gagandeep Kang. Very proud moment for Indian Science & indeed for us Indians. Heartiest congratulations dear Soumya! @PMOIndia @DrJitendraSingh @PrinSciAdvOff @CSIR_IND @ICMRDELHI @IndiaDST @DBTIndia @PuneIntCentre

Congress criticises compromised PM Modi over 2nd instalment of fuel hike, accusing him of robbing common people and giving Adani a "free pass" from US while warning "day is not far" when people and Opposition will rise up on the streets against this mayhem deccanherald.com/india/modi-mer…

I would agree with Ms Lyng here. I have had the opportunity of tough questioning top European and US diplomats at climate negotiations on their claim to morality and the distance between the claims and their actions. Most would not answer anything material. Several did so by sophistry and digression (diplomacy training teaches you how to), some with rudeness and others with arrogance. When I persisted and cut them short to bring them to the point, most would get irritated and it was always revealing of the individual and of their country's weak spots and doublespeak. Some would be smarter to distract with politeness or a light joke. Remember a top UK diplomat when asked a question repeatedly that put his country in a spot, said, "You can ask that of course. But I will decide if the needs to answer you or not." behind his smile one could see anger and irritation at being cornered. He later laced it with a threat on his way out catching me in the corridor, 'you might believe it's a good question, but I wondered if it's good for you to ask it.' It was a jab that told me the question should be pursued to see what UK did on that count behind closer doors. In one case an EU ambassador was excessively curt and his comms guy came after to indirectly apologise and try to build a working relationship of distrust. All par for course. Our diplomat did sound boorish and not so good at distracting away from a pertinent question in Norway. He could have done better. The journalist did well to keep him on the spot.

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.

For an institution like the Indian Judiciary memory of Justice HR Khanna shouldn't have remained as an exceptional legend but as a memory continuously improved and re-lived.

It’s time to move away from politics to actual policy. The Indian rupee lost 11.2% vis-a-vis the US$ over last year. This is not just because of war. Net foreign direct investment to India has been near 0 over 22 months. Left unchecked, this will cause inflation to rise.
