Yes. @theabhayk! The name comes from the Malay word for Hanuman, which was often pronounced as Handuman by ancient Malay sailors and traders who were familiar with the Ramayana. Over time, "Handuman" evolved into "Andaman." It’s not an English name as many wrongly believe.

Did you know Andaman Islands are named after #Hanuman? Learn more about the global appeal of Hanuman and read and listen to the Hanuman Chalisa sung in English thehindu.com/books/now-read… @the_hindu @THNewDelhi

The Indus-Sarasvati civilisation’s maritime culture, vividly captured in the Rig Veda, left a widespread linguistic legacy. The term “samudra” (sea), used 133 times, is the same in Malay and Indonesian, “maha samut” in Thai, and “samot” in Khmer. “Navi” (navy) and “navgath”…

Basically no American newspaper homepage looks like this, but many Indian newspapers homepages look like this. Why is that? One reason Twitter is so useful is because Indian newspaper webpages are so hard to navigate.

It's hard to overstate how much better India's air balance would look if New Delhi had completed the MRCA competition in the early 2010s & purchased 126 (with an option of 74 more!) of any one of the F/A-18E/F, Rafale, Typhoon, F-16, MiG-35, or Saab JAS 39 Gripen.

I am DISGUSTED. A hardworking Indian American was BEHEADED in front of his wife and child. WHY didn’t this get even 5 MINS of prime-time coverage? If this isn’t a national story, what is? This man’s HEAD was cut off — and the killer casually PICKED IT UP. How is this not…

The brutal beheading of a hardworking Indian American immigrant in front of his wife & son is horrific. The murderer had multiple prior arrests for violent theft & child endangerment & was undocumented. He should not have been free on American streets. nbcnews.com/news/us-news/m…

One challenge with the Indian government's emphasis on everything that went right ("not even a pane of glass...") and downplaying of what went wrong ("numbers are not important") is that it makes it hard to have an informed public discussion of how to improve for next time.

Reality check, capability gaps. We haven't heard this from anyone else so far.

Your kids won't remember why you worked late. But your boss will. And only your boss decides... whether you get promoted to ambassador. So make sure you stay late.
