Vaclav Havel on receiving the Indira Gandhi Prize in 1993: “Our planet is in graver danger today than ever before…The more the diverse autonomous cultures are drawn into a single vortex…the more vigorous is their need to defend their otherness.”

We bear witness to this madness and this open call for genocide. For long, we have faced censorship and often we have done “self-censorship” but when one sees this level of hatred and racism from the president of America, one feels a strange kind of sadness and hopelessness

It’s amazing that not a single leader in the great western civilisation, who are part of the U.S. alliance system, has the courage to stand up and tell this man that it’s madness!

What's still so mind-boggling is that none of this needs to be happening

Raghav C did to AAP, what AAP did to Indian politics. May appear like poetic justice, but it’s just plain disappointing.
Madhavan Narayanan@madversity

The honourable way for @raghav_chadha is to simply leave @AamAadmiParty . His style and focus are limited to a specific social constituency not in line with the grassroots priorities of the party, its leadership or activist base. He raises relevant issues but not of far-reaching significance. This is sad for the party but a good closure is better than an ugly spat that won't benefit him unless he wants to join a long list of cocky wannabes -- which again doesn't suit his personality. AAP needs to introspect on a lot of things but #RaghavChadha 's embarrassing silence has been as articulate as his eloquent speeches.

Remarkable that one plank of Modi's 2014 election campaign was a promise of 'minimum government', in a relatively poor country with weak regulation enforcement, widespread tax evasion, and an under-developed apparatus of welfare and service delivery.

Decades of egotistic neoliberalism has turned India into a social Darwinist jungle. There is no real society here, no collective values of solidarity/responsibility, nor any shared goals. Even films have retreated to a mythic universe where they fabricate the illusion of a people

Fake paneer, fake toothpaste, fake milk, air and water are already polluted Must admit that we are god's favourite children otherwise surving in this country is nothing less than a miracle.

Bingo. This is actually the reason behind the epidemic of digital arrest scams. Have always wondered why none of the reporting ever talks about it -- low trust society, terrified of cops, no faith in criminal justice system. That's why these scams work in india.
Jayant Bhandari@JayantBhandari5

Here @WSJ misses the forest for the trees. “Digital arrests” work because Indians are terrified of the real police. In practice, cops do not produce warrants or summons—they simply pick you up and take you to the station with zero paperwork. A petty TI can destroy your life on a whim and face zero consequences. Citizens have no clue what lawful policing even looks like. That cultivated fear and ignorance is exactly what makes them gullible to scammers on a video call. wsj.com/world/fake-cop…

Equally responsible is the blind drive to digitalization. The Indians have come to believe that everything must be, and will be digitized- arrests included. It is not about what value thr digital brings. Digital is the value. Add this with low trust in institutions.

Apart from Netflix’s “The Chair”, are there good books that capture the drama of academia — politics, egos, hiring, tenure, all of it? Would love recommendations.
