When Pollsters chickened out from calling Bengal and others wouldn't risk their neck by projecting a defeat for DMK one pollster Amitabh Tiwari got Bengal right and TN directionally right. The day Amitabh Tewari projected a loss for DMK he called a BJP agent. Yes he didn't read the Vijay wave but getting 3.5 out of 4 is commendable.

THE MEA TOOK THE BAIT. IT SHOULDN'T HAVE. The question was never India’s to answer. If a Norwegian journalist asks, “Why should we trust India?”, that is fundamentally a question for Norway’s leadership. There's no need for India to seek validation from anyone on this account. Too often, the Indian establishment still craves affirmation from legacy Western institutions. That colonial reflex needs to end. India has nothing to prove.

INDIA LISTEN CLOSELY TO FAWNING TRUMP HERE IN BEIJING SITTING OPPOSITE TO PRESIDENT XI. This isn't a reset in U.S.-China ties. It appears to be Trump managing an increasing disproportionality in great power equations. It reflects sections of D.C.'s ruling establishment recognising that China today may have more immediate economic leverage to offer the U.S. than the other way round. It suggests that, for the time being, America may be putting any pretensions of containing China specifically in the Indo-Pacific on the back burner. It also signals that QUAD and AUKUS may no longer occupy the same priority they once did in Trump's strategic grand plans. In fact Trump has taken, in his words, "30 global business czars, the no.1 not no.2" to China not to up sticks but to double down on trade ties. Trump has recognized that attempts at full-spectrum economic decoupling from China are neither practical nor desirable. Which means that terms like "off-shoring" and "China+1" may increasingly look like shibboleths from a moment in time that no longer fully represents global economic realities.

DEGREE IN DEBAUCHERY? Alleged TMCP-linked air-conditioned secret boudoir, revolver, cash cache, and a booze bhandar! A shocking controversy has erupted at Surendranath College in Kolkata following the discovery of two fully air-conditioned bedrooms on the fifth floor, which college authorities allege were under the exclusive control of leaders of the Trinamool Chhatra Parishad (TMCP). The administration claims the rooms were being used for anti-social activities, a suspicion further fueled by the discovery of numerous empty liquor bottles scattered across the college rooftop. At the center of the storm is Debasish Banerjee, who faces serious allegations regarding his involvement. The episode has triggered widespread outrage and raised troubling questions about how such unauthorized luxury bedrooms could allegedly be constructed and operated inside an educational institution.
