The ghost of poor team selection, which haunted India in the first Test, is back in Birmingham. Forget the Kohli-Shastri era, today’s defensive India lack even Ganguly-Wright’s surefootedness. Since the 2001 Eden win, India have always selected to win. That edge may just be getting lost to confusion and self-doubt.
Karnataka CM mentioning Covid vaccines as a possible cause for heart attack is irresponsible
Alarmist Covid vaccine folklore bubbles up every time a young person has a heart attack. For Karnataka CM to cite vaccines as a possible cause is irresponsible, ignorant. Studies conclusively show no such link. Siddaramaiah should leave it to medical science or join the likes of Robert F Kennedy Jr.
BJP MPs reaction to Medha Patkar’s deposition is undemocratic. It’s cancel culture, not dissent
BJP MPs were undemocratic in forcing cancellation of a parliamentary committee meeting to prevent Medha Patkar’s deposition. Dissent, not cancel culture, is democracy’s essence. They have no business making laws if they can’t tolerate contrarian views. LS and RS presiding officers must step in to stop politicisation of parliamentary committees.
Medha Patkar has always acted against national interests. She has always caused mischief against developmental projects. Due to her idiotic activism, projects were delayed by several years resulting in cost overruns of thousands of crores. This was taxpayer’s hard earned money going down the drain because of stupid activism.
Parliament officers must find out which idiot thought of inviting Medha Patkar. The person concerned must be suspended.
