29 June 2021 After what we can now see as an effort to demonstrate a clear uptick in administered vaccines per day, the renewed national roll out now fully subsidised by the Union Government is underway with the same underwhelming performance that has marked most endeavours since the beginning of 2020 when the PM promised […]
26 June 2021 For three days, I have been trying to meditate on what are the take aways from the Delhi meeting of members of JK polity with the Union Governmental leadership.

23 June 2021 As always, I would like to discount, pretty much the article hosted on Vice which makes a nauseating narrative of gender regression and female ostracisation inevitable in a Taliban ruled Afghanistan.
