Factually untrue.Given devastation in Japan in WW2, India had the largest industrial base in Asia in 1947. The main achievement of Nehru's industrial policy was to freeze India's entrepreneurial class. With one exception, the large business families of 1947 were the same in 1991.

Yes, your journalist did speak to me but the article does not reflect the conversation and uses an arbitrary two word "quote". Would you like to hear the conversation? I have the full audio recording.

We spoke to Harsh Vardhan, the health minister, and Sanjeev Sanyal, principal economic adviser; and many railways officials. All were helpful to us. They made it clear that Modi’s government was under enormous pressure to help bring migrants home.

I have have not read the book in question & have no idea if it is good or bad. However, this is obviously not a quality control problem but about censorship. I commit to never publish a book with @BloomsburyIndia 2/n

How bad is it in Canada? Rebel News reporter David Menzies ( @TheMenzoid ) was "arrested for assault" for asking Deputy PM Chrystia Freeland questions. You can clearly see David did not "assault" Freeland. It's arguable that never even made physical contact. Worse yet, Justin…

A setback maybe, but how is the Afghanistan situation a "humiliation" for India? There is nothing that India did to precipitate this situation. Surely, this is really a humiliation for NATO ...... but, of course, some brown people need to share the blame......

Very concerned about the direction of German democracy. I hope all sides will show restraint. Europe has historically been a particularly war prone part of the world, and the global community will be closely monitoring development.
