Nepal: The Rise of Populist Politics, Future, Hope
This is not intended to make us lose hope or optimism, but to make us cautious and vigilant, so that our hope is not crushed again.

The Norwegian journalist who questioned PM Narendra Modi over press freedom has had her visa to India cancelled, ahead of a Congress-organised summit she was due to speak at.
Helle Lyng says May’s confrontation in Oslo has a lot to do with it.

A disappointing footnote to the #BharatSummit proceedings: when I got to Hyderabad, I learned that 115 of the 315 speakers whom the External Affairs Ministry had cleared for the event ended up being refused entry to India or having their visas cancelled, apparently on the instructions of the Ministry of Home Affairs. It is completely unclear under what provision of law the government has taken such a drastic step, but it is obviously impossible to reverse it since the conference concludes tomorrow. What a shame that a proud democracy has become so insecure that it must stifle any voices it fears will be critical!
Attended and addressed the opening day of the #BharatSummit in Hyderabad today, at which @INCIndia is hosting experts from 70 countries for discussions on the emerging global order, India’s strategic response, cooperative federalism and electoral integrity. I spoke at an afternoon discussion of International think-tanks from various countries and again at the opening dinner, where I have just delivered the keynote address on the changing world order.
The Summit has drawn around 1,000 delegates, including global policymakers, progressive leaders and senior Congress leaders @RahulGandhi and Mallikarjun @Kharge. The event will also focus on establishing a think tank called "Our World Institute".
The event will also seek to establish a Global South–Global North platform. Senior policymakers and party leaders from some 70 countries are taking part in these discussions.

OPINION: Are Nepal’s celebrated technocrats serving the country or global capital?
From Ram Sharan Mahat’s Banker award to Swarnim Wagle’s TIME100 nod, global honours for Nepali technocrats signal alignment with Western financial orthodoxy, not necessarily service to Nepal’s people.

@suchetap1 asks an important, uncomfortable question

This is tragic. Even more tragic is the new govt/MPs show no seriousness in adressing this epidemic, killing thousands every year. Like old shashak, they too are more concerned about 'chauda-chillo sadak', not safer roads, transport & people's wellbeing.

Automakers are lobbying to dilute the UK’s ZEV mandate of 80% zero-emission new car sales by 2030, potentially cutting it to 60%.
Climate targets mean nothing if national governments keep surrendering every time the industries responsible for meeting them start complaining.
EXCL: Ministers are expected to make steep cuts to the government’s electric vehicle targets this week, in a move that will relieve carmakers but alarm many Labour MPs who are worried about the government’s commitment to the green agenda - @kiranstacey reports

I got a visa to India and was supposed to leave this morning to attend the Bharat Summit in Hyderabad. I had been invited as a panelist and speaker on the future of media and press freedom.
But «orders from above» in the Ministry of Home Affairs have cancelled my visa.
Here is my message for @AmitShah

Your views on health insurance, complicity on PM's inhumane action on informal settlements, support for big businesses over small, no public budget on climate actions, priority on data centre & big infra, tax increment on public utilities are anti-climate, neo-liberal policies.

Hydrogen makes economic sense for trains as centralised refuelling beats building & maintaining massive electrification infrastructure & trains carrying batteries. On contrary, distributing hydrogen to millions of cars is economically absurd when electricity grids already exist.

It wasn't the sexual assault allegations.
It wasn't the coup attempt on January 6th.
It wasn't the racism.
It wasn't the transphobia.
It was the price of gas and groceries. As great as last night was, the sad reality is that Americans didn't care until it affected their wallets
