  1. The government should encourage companies to develop a secure electronic system for hospitals to e-mail medical forensics reports to designated contacts in police departments. It should be a national law.

  2. Love the phrase, 'single-source journalism'. Applies to virtually the entire coterie lead by NYT.

  3. What the Bihar DGP said is very damning of Maharashtra police. He is not a casual rumor monger but someone very much a part of the criminal justice system, at the highest level.

  4. Shri Vinay Tiwari showed great presence of mind in the responsibility and restraint with which he answered questions. I scrolled down the comments after writing this, and clearly his exemplary manner did not go unnoticed.

  5. Kanika kapoor imp. data point if she is a true positive. Surprising none of 52 caught it. Her virus strain must be genotyped if possible.

  6. He is an acharya?!!

  7. The BSF jawans operating under pressure at the border know best, but extreme restraint in the face of clear personal danger seems like habitual inhibition. They need SOPs to not come in such close contact with civilians, and clearly communicate red lines which the other side cannot cross. This seems a bit like a free for all and could have easily gone south.

  8. The rest of the country is moving heaven and earth to tamp down the disease; a few invulnerables have can't suffer the inconvenience.

  9. The language of certainty is worrisome. Vaccine will make things better, much better. Responsible journalists shouldn't sell it as a absolute protection and engender bad habits.

  11. As there is noise of India Ch border talks, important to make certain that these drones were not a ‘false flag’ operation.

  12. Arnab, you heard the viewers, and have been hearing them for years. If you are set against muting others, set others' volume to 50% when you give the floor to a set of speakers. Producers can practice with archival debates to see if this on-the-fly lowering of sound is feasible. Otherwise, the noise makes it hard to hear what is being said, and sets a poor example of public debate for any school children who might be watching.

  13. Term limits on members of Congress and shutting the revolving door for regulators into the corporate world are both consequential and will move the needle on US corruption.

  14.  @pauljohn5011  Walmart stocks food, which arguably is as important for the country as blood tests at the moment. I find the idea about as appalling as asking Diagnostic Labs to give away their product for free.

  15.  @tigre1857  see my reply to paul john.

  16.  @jameslan4514  I don't belong to the pharma industry. I also don't think the diagnostic labs are refusing to do the tests. May be follow the example of the great society America where GM insisted on a proper contract from the government before embarking on making ventilators. Don't kill the golden goose.

  17.  @tigre1857  The 'free testing' is underwritten by a congressionally passed law that sets aside money to reimburse for the tests. All the details are not clear yet but what is clear is that the US supreme court did not pass an order that all labs should test for free.

  18. The similarity between Trmp supporters in Amrca and anger and viciousness among Sahebzada supporters in Bharat is striking. T supporters continue to believe that the vote was stolen.

  19. @republic, please cover India's Unified Payment Interface, UPI, which is getting international attention.

  20. Partition is in Congress genes.

  21. If this is a demonstrably fake 'demonstration', aren't there laws to arrest the said supervisors caught on camera for inciting public unrest during a time of national crisis?

  22. This is nothing to get emotional about. In my humble opinion, the British are trying to stall the progress of CoWIN as an internationally accepted standard.

  23. Sanju ji, that is a powerful point about Rajiv foundation. Don't let it get drowned in the noise of debates. Strategise on how to present it so that the balak's cynical strategy stands clear across the nation.

  24. It is not enough that news channels cover this as that does not ensure uniform coverage. The govt should bring this up in the parliament to inform the public about a new threat. They have to plan the presentation carefully to prevent ji jtsu balak and his sidekick from drowning the seriousness of it in the usual noise.

  25. They should analyze his tissue samples for suspicious medicines. Take the help of reputed international labs if need be. Neuropharmacology is very sophisticated and some medicines may make people more vulnerable to suggestion.

  26. All these are potential new patient zeroes waiting to seed a new cluster.

  27. Please, words matter. They were not the 1984 Sikh riots. It was the 1984 anti-Sikh pogrom orchestrated by the Congress party.

  28. Congratulations on your win! One minor quibble: judges are judges not lordships. India is no longer under British occupation and India should discard the old ways of speaking, certainly 70 years after independence.

  29.  @swethas5335  Such a wonderful reply! Thank you for sharing useful information!

  30. The Supreme Court did not scuttle the arguments, it forestalled them. Minor point but worth pointing out.

  31. I will wait to see what the legacy media headlines say tomorrow.

  32. I predict that the congress is getting ready to re-annoint Shri Rahul Gandhi as president. When you see it in the news, remember you read it here first.

  33. Is there a legal path to ban Communism in India? Seems like it should be done.

  34. One possible wish-list: 1) Continuous eyes-in-the-sky (may be AWAC loitering drones) with machine vision to recognise hostile drones that originate across the border. 2) High velocity, long-range drone-killing rifles with hybrid computer- and human-controlled targeting, that can take input from the AWACs 2) A 50 km drone-free zone along the border with stiff monetary penalties for violation. Alarm-to-shot-time should ideally be on the order of seconds to a under 5 minutes. Creating and deploying this rapidly does not seem out of reach to me.

  35. The question at 7:00 was unintelligent, to put it politely.

  36. Are you hoping for one?

  37. Shri Gurumurthy's concrete citations of Congress suppressing press freedoms over the decades demonstrates how in many ways they have been a continuation of the colonial British occupation force, with rare honest exceptions. It is delicious irony that they have self-anointed themselves the 'liberal' face of today's India.

  38. This is not just about art but also a national security issue if unfriendly people outside India are monopolizing and diverting channels of revenue. Movies is big business anywhere, esp. in India. For art and for country, people have to vote with their money purses.

  39. Dr Saab aap video me’ document keejiye. Useful for future planning of such situations.

  40. New Waqf act is about justice for all and favors to none. There are significant national security issues with such concentration of public wealth in an autonomous entity. The BJP has to do a better job of managing public perception by bringing the corruption in Waqf to light.

  41. I am sorry to say, some people, not necessarily bad people, get energized by opportunities for anarchy. Burning the place down is not the way to build a bright new society.

  42. My wish is that Indian schools will have a profuse amount amount of education in public discussion and debate so that by the time the students get to be the age of these gentlemen here, they have a better understanding of how to have a public conversation which does not involve screaming and talking over others. You know, the battle of Trafalgar and Eton etc.

  43. The Lwing papers carefully avoiding showing the stark 240-99 number and instead putting up 292-242 🙂

  44. NYT is pulling out all stops on Kashmir. Fruits of the decades of careful cultivation by Pakistan or a case of nose-cutting to spite the face by well-meaning Indians?

  45. Arnab, when one person is speaking in their allotted time, mikes have to be muted for the others. Otherwise it becomes a fish market, which are wonderful places, but not the places to have a reasoned debate.

  46. No discussion of biases in the Indian media makes sense without a handy cheat-sheet of who ultimately owns or financially supports each media house.

  47. 24 h seems like an absurdly short time for anyone to respond to a government notice. Something must be done at the central level to disallow such demolition notices unless the government can prove to a court of unusual public harm if not urgently demolished.

  48. What has changed in how the world views India, is the size of India's economy. Cynical unfortunately, but true.
