PM Modi and China's Xi are expected to meet virtually at three other summits in November — ASEAN, chaired by Vietnam, BRICS, chaired by Russia, and G-20, chaired by Saudi Arabia.
MHA has asked cadre-controlling authorities to ‘provide the name(s) of suitable officer(s), eligible for deputation... and willing to serve in the Governments of UT of J&K/UT of Ladakh’.
BJP's Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi, who campaigned for the polls, calls it a big win, says the people of Leh stamped the decision of Modi govt to revoke Article 370.
My Instagram bio reads ‘Namasudra Dalit, West Bengal’. But around 10 men – whom I had added from dating apps – unfollowed and blocked me after learning about my identity.
Eight months into the war, this is believed to be the first 'international' casualty to be reported. 46-year-old Waibhav Kale joined UNDSS two months ago ‘to make a difference’.
Even in the weeks leading up to Chamkila’s assassination there were massacres every other day. To airbrush all of this is sheer intellectual cowardice if not a crime.
We can hope, but the hope rests on assumed strength of the 3rd pillar, and that’s become questionable last few years.
On the other hand, if they do take cognizance and end up having court proceedings, the least they can do is to clarify and respond in detail to Kamras tweets.

Justice Chandrachud had said that dissent is the safety valve of democracy. So, in a way, is social media. It allows ordinary people to express themselves on public affairs, the working of institutions, the most trusted of which is the judiciary, with a candour that would not be possible in the case of mainstream media. Which in any case is going through an exceptionally deferential phrase. 2. It would be stating the obvious that all is not well with the judiciary. The tenure of the previous CJI, concluding in his elevation to the Rajya Sabha, was eventful. The manner in which allegations made against him by a lady employee were dealt has not created an excellent precedent. An awkward situation has arisen with the CM of AP making allegations against the learned Judge who is poised to become the next CJI. Learning from the immediate past, these should be enquired into through a process that inspires the utmost public confidence. That will allow him to helm the institution in a manner that demonstrates absolute independence from the executive.
For me, the best Diwali gift would be the certainty that there will be no war in the Himalayas. Dokalam was a tense 73 day standoff which reminded both sides that the forty odd year stretch of No loss of life along the LAC could not be taken for granted. The informal summits at Wuhan and Mahabalipuram could have put in place more durable protocols to prevent the tragic loss of lives at Galwan Valley. 2. President elect Joe Biden is speaking to world leaders, the sequence laying out in concentric circles the salience of various countries to the United States.
