De zogeheten Siliguri corridor voert van het Noordoosten naar ‘mainland’ India. Tussen Bhutan, Nepal en Bangladesh, met over de horizon nog China: de uitloper van deelstaat West-Bengalenis een cruciale landverbinding voor de veiligheid, nationbuilding en collectiviteit in het land.

Jeff Bezos heeft besloten dat de bijl door The Washington Post gaat: vooral buitenlandse verslaggeving en sport worden gekort. Vele correspondenten en ‘bureaus’ in standplaatsen in de hele wereld zullen personeel verliezen of opgedoekt worden.
As bad as today's Washington Post is sometimes, it is also sometimes great. Sports and Foreign are some of the best things they do. Bezos should give the Post to a nonprofit instead of destroying it. #SavethePost presswatchers.org/2024/10/the-...

India pioneered job guarantees. A new law could weaken them, critics say.
A mass rural employment program has cut poverty in India and inspired policymakers globally. Critics say the government risks rolling back that legacy.
