You can't call the place "केरल" and expect to win.

My brother in India faces criminal charges for reporting the news, writes @tunkuv  via @WSJ 

In Memoriam. My mother's beautiful house in Coorg, recently sold.

Dear @swapan55  : I trust you will speak out against the attempt by the UP police to intimidate my brother @svaradarajan  by the serving of papers on him that list numerous bogus charges. As a journalist yourself & a man of letters, you must stand up for a free press & free speech

I think I've just seen the worst movie ever... #Vivegam 

Note how "Indian variant" "UK variant," "Brazilian variant", etc. all variant pass without comment, yet "Chinese flu" was dubbed racist back in the Spring of 2020.

SOS *****Calling all journalists, institutes & organisations that value press freedom & oppose the suppression of speech by state officials to rally to the defense of @svaradarajan , editor of @thewire_in . He is being targeted by officials in the service of @myogiadityanath *****

I'm no fan of China's govt. God knows I loathe the despots in Peking. But when the virus became hard to contain in Wuhan, they focused on building new hospitals 24/7. In India, under a worse pandemic, the govt. is building - with almost un-Indian speed - a vast new house for Modi

I suspect there will be a "reset" in India's relations with the US as a result of Biden's vaccine-export decision. India won't see it as another country also exercising its 'right' to safeguard its own people first. The US failed to handle this request with observable humanity.
