    Rohan, your father threatened me in Cancun at the WTO summit, because he thought my insistence on human rights protections under new WTO reforms was essential. I worked for Amnesty International then; he came to me, and said, think before you talk, we are watching, and laughed.

    Rahul Gandhi now claims my late father, Arun Jaitley, threatened him over the farm laws. Let me remind him, my father passed away in 2019. The farm laws were introduced in 2020. More importantly, it was not in my father's nature to threaten anyone over an opposing view. He was a

    Why do Indian elections take so long and run over several days? Because pro-government voters have to travel long distances in trains to vote in different states again and again.

    A #ManmohanSingh story: in the 1980s, when he was the governor of RBI, he moved to Bombay. He found the city's humidity and heat unbearable and casually mentioned it at a party, where a CEO of a company that made air-conditioners heard him. The next day.... 1/3

    He called the company, and the CEO's secretary said they had sent it with their compliments. "But I can't afford it," he said. "It is a gift, sir," the secretary said. "But I can't accept it," he said. "Please take it away." They don't make leaders like that now. 3/3

    The worst part, @virsanghvi, is that @AnupamPKher had the gall to post a tribute (actually vain narcissistic self-praise) reminding people how he studied him for a year. If he had really studied him, he'd have been a better man.

    If you want to remember the lies that were told about Manmohan Singh you should rewatch The Accidental Prime Minister It is not only one of the worst Hindi movies ever made but is an example of how media was used to tarnish the name of a good man

    My two favorite cities in the world outside of India, were London & New York. Sad to see how the great city of New York is set to self- destroy everything that it stands for! A socialist who wants government to run grocery stores. New York you are so screwed! #ZohranMamdani

    Is vantara open to the general public or only to VVIPs like you and the prime minister?

    I felt the same as Hon’ble PM @narendramodi ji, when I was in Vantara earlier. The passion and commitment of Anant and his team towards wildlife conservation, is commendable. The rescued and rehabilitated animals at Vantara touch you in a unique way and I look forward to

    The columnist who can't see her son in India anymore needs to go back and reflect on the fine reporter she used to be, before she became an abject servant of an emperor who has no need for her

    The Leader of the Opposition needs to go back to his economics tutor and learn about when the Indian economy was truly dead. My column today.

    Malini, foreign policy is based on national interests, not personal friendship, which in Modi's case was flattery/chaplusi. What's happened is terrible for workers in thirupur and surat but the blame lies on the shoulders of your icon and idol. Stop kowtowing. Act your age.

    Disgusted by this new hawkishness of @INCIndia . The country should stand by @narendramodi & his government when we are under extreme duress as a result of the Trump-inflicted blow to India’s basic economic interests. The fact that PM Modi has sacrificed his friendship with the

    I am a small fry, and I am not worried of bad cricket administrators who end up being ministers because they are ideoloigically aligned with fascists. But I hope you will learn and reflect before you post hilarious tweets, as you did, trying to whitewash your dad.

    In my days as a reporter, I covered two air crashes: both in the late 1980s, both for India Today -- one was in Ahmedabad (I went on the relief aircraft), the other in Bangalore (which I reported on from Bombay). 1/4

    Nice words from a meritocratic non-dynastic politician who made it on his own.

    Mocking @mieknathshinde ji—a self-made leader who rose from driving an auto to leading India’s 2nd largest state—reeks of classist arrogance. India is rejecting entitled monarchs & their bootlicking ecosystem that pretends to champion meritocracy & democracy.

    While he was at the office at Ballard Estate, some people came to his home with an air conditioner to install it. When he returned home, Dr Singh was surprised, since he had not ordered one. He asked his family, and nobody knew; they thought it came from the office. 2/3

    Why should anyone accept the interpretation of a WhatsApp uncle who is a glorifiedmanager of an IT tech support team and investor in beef exports, on matters matters of philosophy?

    Another fake narration. In the Gita Sri Krishna says your Varna is based on your Guna and your actions - karma not by birth or lineage. Anybody can aspire for a higher Varna based on Guna. Varna is not internal but a result of your Guna. Pl stop lying and read the Gita
