For many Indians, the temple marks the righting of a historic wrong. For others, it's an epitaph to India's era of being a secular republic wsj.com/articles/modi-…

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi marked a milestone in his reshaping of India into a Hindu nation--the inauguration of a temple to Ram where a 16th-century mosque stood before it was destroyed wsj.com/world/india/in…

India’s prime minister recently talked up the pristine beaches of India’s Lakshadweep islands, tweeting pictures of himself relaxing by the ocean and snorkeling. Some in tourist-dependent Maldives took it personally wsj.com/articles/india…

Economists and sociologists say similar social reservations in other nations receded when booming economies produced enormous numbers of jobs and good wages. India's economy has overtaken the UK's in size, but young people say they aren't able to find good jobs

Many women they interviewed reported their families were unhappy they work -- even when it greatly improved family circumstances -- or they too viewed it as a choice made due to unfortunate circumstances. It's a feeling that weighs on women at all different levels of income

A great read from @ByShanLi and Vibhuti Agarwal looking at how India is departing from the trajectory of so many countries that have drawn a larger share of women into the workforce as their economies grew wsj.com/world/india/in…

It’s been 100 days since Evan Gershkovich, our WSJ colleague, was wrongfully detained in Russia and falsely accused of spying. Journalism is not a crime. #IStandWithEvan

Strong @IndianExpress edit on the hounding of @CPR_India. There’s really no better reference for the institute’s work than government itself. From climate to foreign policy, social protection to urbanization—the center and the states have made ample use of its expertise.

Today, we are marking 100 days that our colleague, Evan Gershkovich, has been held in a Russian prison. His detention is unjust. It's a brazen violation of press freedom. #IStandWithEvan

It's been a month since my father died. Long transformative illness can make it difficult to remember and enjoy your past with someone you love. I'm not even ready for that, bc I'm still dwelling in the gratitude of every last minute I got to have. But here's an archival photo.

@SabrinaSiddiqui Trolls will troll, but you don't need to explain anything. You were doing your job. You asked a question that would have (and should have) been asked in the press conference, if not by you, then by another reporter.

Since some have chosen to make a point of my personal background, it feels only right to provide a fuller picture. Sometimes identities are more complex than they seem.
