India is rising as the UN loses authority. More say in a weaker institution is a poor bargain. India needs @UN whose decisions matter.

Correcting map distortions @UN was easy. Changing mindsets will be much harder…

Strike first. Call it self defence. Why does China frame its wars this way? A conversation with @VGokhale59 . 8 September, 7 pm. The Quorum, Hyderabad.

Sanctions for some. Waivers for others. Who decides? Why it matters for India.

Sometimes a children’s book teaches us how much we do not know. I had never heard of Tilka Manjhi, Puttalimaya Devi, Laxman Naik or so many other pioneers. Reading @25ramendra - Ramendra Kumar’s book - ‘It Takes a Tribe’, I realise how much of India’s tribal heritage we have yet to discover.

An engaging conversation with Amb. @AkbaruddinIndia was a delight as he shared how #Telengana State is rapidly evolving; and how #Telegu-speaking diaspora has actively contributed to knowledge-centric ecosystem in the State. Little did I know that Telegu has quietly risen as the third most spoken 🇮🇳 #language in the US. All said, his treat over #Biryani underscored a profound fact: that 75% of all Biryani deliveries across India carry the signature Hyderabadi Biryani! #India #People #Culture @KautilyaSPP

California builds AI models. The EU writes regulations. China is building institutions to shape global rules. India cannot enter the AI age only as a market & a source of data. It needs capability, leverage and proposals of its own..✍🏽

India’s space story is getting younger. With an average age of just 28, the @SkyrootA team may well be the first Gen Z team to successfully launch a rocket. Congratulations @SkyrootA. Congratulations #YoungIndia.

Can the Indus Waters Treaty still work when its procedures point in different directions and the trust needed to sustain cooperation has collapsed ?

Every nation needs institutions that hold its memory. India’s armed forces do this in a distinctive way by honouring the trailblazers who shaped them. It was a privilege to speak at the inaugural Air Chief Marshal Idris Hasan Latif Memorial Lecture on India’s Near West. In honouring a great airman, we also recognise a larger tradition: duty fulfilled with dignity. India’s armed forces remain among the finest repositories of our values. Jai Hind. 🇮🇳
