It’s contradictory to believe that 1) #IC814 was #ISI propaganda (it clearly was) & at the same time 2) the series makers were naive, misguided & had no idea they were doing PR for Pak’s spy agency. Of course they knew. This naive, misguided, innocent, no malice argument is BS.

For a change, a thoughtful oped in ⁦Mint⁩ by a former WTO director on how colonised Indian minds treat institutional reports from the West as gospel truth. Must read.

Good to see Delhi HC take a tough stand against ⁦Wikipedia⁩ which has an ugly jihadi-hard left bias but constantly begs Indian users for donations. As HC said, if you don’t follow Indian laws, get out of India. ndtv.com/india-news/ani…

Khalistani separatist-backer Jagmeet Singh’s #NDP kept Justin Trudeau’s Liberal govt in power since 2022. With Singh withdrawing support today, Trudeau govt will fall. Opposition to move no-confidence motion when Canadian parliament reconvenes. Trudeau trails opposition by 20% in

Have cancelled my subscription to overrated The Economist some time ago though they go on pestering me to come back. Editorials drip with know-all arrogance. Gets its analysis wrong far too often.

Clear warning to #CJIChandrachud. Don’t muddy the case with generic obfuscation. Calcutta HC was doing an excellent job, pinpointing accountability of CM Mamata Banerjee before your suo motu took it away.
