Don't miss this week's @EmpirePodUK as @tweeter_anita & I discuss the beginning of the Great Game between Tsarist Russia and Imperial Britain, a Tournament of Shadows which ends in the tragedy and slaughter of the First British invasion of Afghanistan, a new series based on my Return of a King.

A British spy strapped under Napoleon's raft, listening to the secret clauses of his deal with the Tsar to mount a joint invasion of India; a Russian spy rolls up the British intelligence network in Central Asia; a team of British hydrographers secretly map the Indus from inside the Lord Mayor of London's coach, destined for the court of Ranjit Singh, the Lion of the Punjab.

@ShashiTharoor @RahulGandhi Illustration looks like the mirror image of Hokusai’s the great wave ! Mount Fuji replaced by ‘ochre sun’ ! What if any is the symbolism Dr. Tharoor?

Superb piece on Hinduism by @RahulGandhi. As the author of #WhyIAmAHindu, I must say I love the metaphor of the ocean. It is so difficult to find anything new or original to say about Hinduism — but he has and it’s captivating.
It’s also necessary to take back Hinduism from those who have sought to misappropriate it in the service of a narrow-minded and exclusionary political ideology. Liberals don’t need to run away from their faith. They can fight in its name.

This is unbelievable. I cannot believe this is happening in our country & the people concerned are not in jail. All Indians must hang our heads in #Shame that this is what all our constitutional rights and freedoms can be reduced to.

This is an incredible moment of pride for all Indians! A journey that began more than six decades ago under Nehruji has brought us to the moon with #Chandrayaan3Landing ! Salute to the scientists, engineers, all who believed in a vision of hope.... Jai Hind!
