The Chinese Wanted To Learn From Operation Ganga
THE WEEK|March 20, 2022
This operation involving several countries for evacuation of our citizens from war-torn Ukraine was so large that it required intervention of the government at the highest level and the support of local authorities and additional support staff.

The Chinese Wanted To Learn From Operation Ganga

In the scenario that was unfolding in Ukraine, a normal evacuation process would not have sufficed.

Since the number of students stranded in Ukraine was so large, the evacuation also had to start immediately. A decision had to be taken quickly to fast-track it. So, when the prime minister decided to send senior ministers as government envoys to the neighbouring countries of Ukraine and lead the evacuation operation, the level of commitment at once went up for everyone involved. When an operation is being planned and led at the level of ministers, who are acting as special envoys of the government of India, then the respective countries and the local governments also have to respond at the highest level.

William Dalrymple goes further back

Indian readers have long known William Dalrymple as the chronicler nonpareil of India in the early years of the British raj. His latest book, The Golden Road, is a striking departure, since it takes him to a period from about the third century BC to the 12th-13th centuries CE.

The bleat from the street

What with all the apps delivering straight to one’s doorstep, the supermarkets, the food halls and even the occasional (super-expensive) pop-up thela (cart) offering the woke from field-to-fork option, the good old veggie-market/mandi has fallen off my regular beat.

Upgrade your jeans

If you don’t live in the top four-five northern states of India, winter means little else than a pair of jeans. I live in Mumbai, where only mad people wear jeans throughout the year. High temperatures and extreme levels of humidity ensure we go to work in mulmul salwars, cotton pants, or, if you are lucky like me, wear shorts every day.
