I am an Indian-American Kamala Harris voter and I don’t know anyone who voted for Trump. Is that the problem? via @IndianExpress We have this problem in India too. This explains the puzzlement among sections of the intelligentsia about the rise of the BJP.

IITs were intended to produce the trained people to build the nation. Have they met that objective? @GulrezHoda @PushyRai @arunmku @sampitroda

Are old binaries returning to the discourse? Are old enmities and rivalries being dusted out and refreshed to fuel new wars? @PradipPhanjouba @parakala @gopinathanacham @arunmku

Economic development needs state capacity. Short sighted politics that focuses on the next election does not build state capacity. @PradipPhanjouba @nsitharaman @parakala @Ajaypp @arunmku

Kerala 'exceptionalism' begins to crumble. Is the state, especially its politics and social movements, not different from the rest of the country anymore? @rajeshreghunair @PradipPhanjouba

Thanks to Dawkins for agreeing that Rowling's 'carefully phrased definition' of woman is based on science. Any attempt to define anything in an unambiguous way will necessarily be lengthy. Look at our laws! @arunmku @PradipPhanjouba
.@jk_rowling's carefully phrased definition of “woman” is correct. The gamete-size definition is soundly based in evolutionary theory and has no exceptions – among humans, mammals, vertebrates, animals generally. And she’s right about beetroot.
