    What an honour to meet @ptrmadurai TN Finance Min. As someone who is from Madras and still follows the politics of the state, its great to see the high level of discourse & intellect someone like him brings to governance. #AILD2022 @AIinstitute @Atlassian

    What happens when you have no clue about water resources, engineering, geography and just want to pointlessly drum up support by taking an anti Pak stance and be stupidly provocative! It's not only ridiculous but dangerous! ๐Ÿ™„

    The Indus Waters give India immense strategic advantage over Pakistan. 80% of Pak agricultural fields depend on these waters that India controls. India can engineer floods & droughts in Pakistan. Why has New Delhi been shy of exercising this power? Time to leverage the Indus?

    380 Afghans who worked for the Korean government in Afghanistan will arrive in South Korea tomorrow according to MOFA. They will not be entering as refugees, but as people of merit to the country says the Foreign Ministry.

    I write for @IndianExpress Just as #India is carving a space & shaping key areas #climate #multilateralism #IndoPacific so must we on this growing conversation & ensure that it is inclusive. indianexpress.com/article/opinioโ€ฆ via @IndianExpress

    Why India needs a โ€˜feministโ€™ foreign policy
    Data indicates that the inclusion of diverse voices makes for better options in decision making and is no longer simply a virtuous standard to follow.

    I'm no #Afghan expert but I am a #water security watcher, esp #transboundary & what is happening there worries me for obvious reasons + more. Afghanistan is water rich, the headwaters of many rivers originate there & flow to neighbours. Why should we pay attention to this? 1/n

    1958. My grandparents + father arrive in Belfast. My grandfather, Lt Cdr RB Subramanian, was a naval architect who oversaw the refit & modernization of INS Vikrant acquired by India in 57 & commissioned by Vijaya Lakshmi Pandit in 61. INS Vikrant was instrumental in 1971 war!
