Opinion | Manmohan Singh’s Mixed Economic Legacy He pushed economic reforms as India’s finance minister, then abandoned them when he led the government.

Opinion | Dommaraju Gukesh and India’s Chess Comeback He beat China’s Ding Liren to become world champion, reflecting New Delhi’s rise.

Many Indians don’t like Justin Trudeau because they’re familiar with his type—a politician who panders to identity politics for votes, and appears willing to place his own political survival over his country’s interests. [My take]
