🧵Why China Building Infrastructure in Ladakh, Arunachal Pradesh, Sikkim Should Worry Indians @SushantSin explains in this interview to @scroll_in #YourWeeklyFix #China #indiachinastandoff youtu.be/hyiOjy4gztI

We can map our lives in World Cups. Everyone will have a story of why and how you got hooked. It is emotional, it is identity, and it is belonging to something bigger. Which is why we have to fight for it. Fight against it being abused, altered, and turned into a branding exercise and money-spinning scheme. It’s the World Cup, not ‘The FIFA’. It’s commercial space not hydration breaks for player welfare. It’s not “equal conditions for every team.” Ask Iran. bymelissareddy.substack.com/…

🚨For over a year, I've worked with a small team of researchers to clinically document evidence of the role Big Tech platforms play in encouraging Hindutva Pop music. We found a total of *523 SONGS*, encouraging violence against Muslims, stoking hate. YouTube, Meta, Apple and Spotify, were all found complicit in not just amplifying but even *funding* these songs. #HPop For @csohate @raqib_naik

It would be *much* more socially transformative to ban social media for over-65s

This is the Israeli perspective of what Indian interests are in #WestAsia. But these points can't be farther from the Indian perspective. Indian interests and Israeli interests in the region, though both countries enjoy very good bilat ties, are starkly different. Let's have a relook at each point. 1. Pakistan is not becoming a leader of the Global South at India's expense just because Pakistan brokered a ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran after a failed U.S.-Israel war. India is well aware of Pakistan's capabilities and limitations. Pakistan had been the blue-eyed boy of the U.S. throughout the Cold War. And India dealt with it. It's true that Pakistan today is rebuilding its ties with the US and expanding its diplomatic footprint in West Asia. That space for Pakistan was opened not by the deal trump is reaching with Iran but by the war Israel and the U.S. launched in India's neighbourhood. And that space will be paid close attention in New Delhi. 2. If the deal allows Iran to dominate the Strait of Hormuz, that means the war Israel and the US launched had been a total failure. India has historically enjoyed good bilat ties with Iran. Iran's ballistic missiles or a growing Iranian economy do not pose any threat to India. India has also invested millions in Iran. Iran offers a route to India to Afghanistan bypassing Pakistan; Iran is also a critical link in the North-South Transport Corridor which gives India an alternative route to connect with Europe bypassing the Suez Canal. India looks at IMEC as an important connectivity project, as well. But the missing piece in IMEC is the absence of an Israel-Saudi normalisation. If Israel is ready to settle the Palestine question politically and normalise ties with the Arab world, it would open great opportunities for India's regional engagement. 3. Millions of Indians have been living in the Persian Gulf countries for decades. The first wave of migration started in the 1960s, in the early stage of the oil boom, well before the revolution in Iran. They had never been threatened by Iranian missiles before this war. For the safety of millions of Indians in the Gulf and for remittances to continue to flow to India, what India wants is stability and economic progress in the region. In other words, Israel bringing its wars to the Persian Gulf is a direct threat to India's economic and energy security and the safety of millions of Indians living in the region. India sees itself as one of the pillars of the emerging order; so it's imperative for India to continue to grow economically, and tackle the disturbances that challenge this growth trajectory. 4. India clearly doesn't want another nuclear power in its neighbourhood. But it wants the nuclear question to be resolved diplomatically, not through unwise, less thought-out wars that hurt everyone. Israel wants regime change in Tehran, India doesn't. From an Indian perspective, the JCPOA addressed the nuclear question and Iranian facilities were open for international inspection. It was trump 1.0 that sabotaged the JCPOA, and it was Israel that recklessly, non-strategically took the war directly to Iran, exactly a year ago, after which Iran cut off the IAEA access to its nuclear programme. So yes, India wants stability in West Asia. And for long-term stability, the Palestine question should be politically addressed; unending wars in the region should be stopped; Iran's nuclear programme should be addressed diplomatically and sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries in the region should be respected.

Ex-Army Chief Gen. Naravane on why he doesn't watch Bollywood war movies "These movies don't show you the truth. War is a bloody game. They romanticise things which gives people the wrong idea that war is a normal thing..But declaring war should be our last resort"

MEA needs a less clichéd and more serious script for the PM's visits abroad, one where he engages with his hosts on substantive issues, rather than his own accompanying troupe and Indians settled abroad.

There you have it. Anthropic's CEO said it: The murder of more than 100 schoolgirls in Minab targeted by Anthropic's CLAUDE "is a use case that doesn't even violate our red lines." Time to rise up against these technofeudal war criminals.

This is the 5th ship "incident" in 6 days!

Dhiraj Bommadevara beats Olympic champion Lee Woo-seok of South Korea 7-3 to win mens recurve gold at the Antalaya Archery World Cup. He already won mixed team gold in the morning. Perfect 10,10,10 in the final series by the 24 year old to seal his first individual gold at a WC.

Australia played the perfect tactical game vs Turkey. 2 goals on counter attacks, both clinical finishing.  Airtight defence, physically very strong, limiting Turkey to only long range strikes. Great keeping, no panic. Super team effort by Aus. Anyone can win in football

INDIA ARE RECURVE MIXED TEAM CHAMPIONS 🏆 Indian Mixed Team stunned Olympic Champion Korea 5-1 to win Antalya World Cup Stage 3 Dheeraj & Kumkum wins World Cup for India 🇮🇳 THIS IS PRETTY HUGE FOLKS 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

One elephant dies, hundreds of prominent people post. Three Indians died, not a single one posts.

data centres are draining bengaluru’s ground water. right now there are 31 data centres in bengaluru. data centres consume roughly 20 million litres of water EVERYDAY. where will that water come from because bengaluru has no river and is entirely dependent on groundwater. more data centres are planned and upcoming. our country will not survive this. the planet will not survive this. we will not survive this.

What an awful headline, @CNN! Indian lives are not collateral damage in anybody’s war. Here, they were killed by American missiles.

How kind! Cannot let a small rape case come in the way of training a rapist doctor? A DNB student who is accused of raping a Moroccan citizen inside the ICU and then fled to escape arrest The details of the case are HORRIFIC

Fixed this for you @CNN

Perhaps first time in history that Hellfire missiles were used on Indian civilians. This quad partner is amazing.

Someone wore Meta's smart glasses into a Delhi trans-rights protest and filmed people who had no idea. That reel got over 3 million views. This is surveillance you won't even see coming. @HeraRizwan1 reports decodeinternet.in/life/the-c…
