- What a fantastic picture of an elusive snow leopard in Ladakh, probably reacting to the shutter sound of the camera trap. saschafonseca.com/project/snow-l…
- Some US/European commentators: 2001-2011: “India should stay out of Afghanistan.” 2011-2016: “India is irrelevant in Afghanistan.” 2016-2020: “India isn’t doing enough in Afghanistan.” 2021: “The fall of the Indian-backed government in Afghanistan…”
- Replying to @the_culturist_ and @Culture_CritThese were all completed after 1990, but I suppose the UAE, India, Thailand, and Côte d’Ivoire don’t constitute “humanity.”

Also, and this may sound surprising, but Indian national interests are not defined in Washington, Brussels, or Lisbon.Replying to @MacaesBrunoBut no instead of looking at its national interest India looks at … 1971. It supports Russia against Ukraine because in 1971 the Soviet Union supported India. That was a long time ago and (wait for this)…
- Is there some competition underway for “worst India strategy take by an over-opinionated white male”? Bonus points for being ill-informed, sounding patronizing, and dropping some not-so-subtle hints of racism.
- What a striking photograph of the Indian Air Force's Surya Kiran over the Statue of Unity. (via @SWAC_IAF) #RashtriyaEktaDiwas
- THREAD: Over the coming days and weeks, we are likely to see a lot of idle speculation about what is going on in the China-India border region. Here are 5 QUESTIONS that people should be asking themselves as they consume and analyze reports. 1/18
- Pick your headline, because both are true: "125,000 fully vaccinated Americans have tested positive for Covid-19 to date" or "Less than 1 in 1000 fully vaccinated Americans have tested positive for Covid-19 to date"
