Bibek Raj Kandel and Christina Monroe write that #India’s diplomatic weight is best exercised closest to its borders. New Delhi’s geopolitical strength comes not from looking East or West but from its ability to stabilise its own neighbourhood. scmp.com/opinion/asia-o…

Reading is in trouble. Multiple studies in multiple places seem to be showing the same thing. Adults are reading less. Children are reading less. Teenagers are reading a lot less. Very small children are being read to less. economist.com/culture/2025/0…

🚨 BIG STATEMENT 🚨 EAM Dr. S. Jaishankar HITS back: "If you have a problem with BUYING oil or refined products from India, don’t BUY it." "Nobody forces you. Europe buys, America buys—if you don’t like it, don’t BUY it."

How climate disasters, roads and torusm infrastructure have transformed Mustang, a trans-Himalayan district. A fine despatch by @arj272 for Mongabay news.mongabay.com/2025/08/escala…


India’s solar gamble has 2 big hurdles: US trade tensions risking its top export market, and a supply chain still tied to China. Scale + self-reliance decide the game.

India needs to navigate tariffs and fix a supply chain reliant on China to become a global force in solar power bloomberg.com/news/features/…



Why pull back the water bill passed by two parliamentary houses? Interesting read. @rudrapang

दुइटै सदनले पास गरिसकेको विधेयक यत्तिकै कानून बनेमा थुप्रै सन्ततिहरुले दुष्परिणाम भोग्नुपर्ने हुनसक्छ । 👇 सरकारले पेश नै नगरेको नयाँ जल तथा ऊर्जा आयोग गठन गर्ने / बाँधको विषयमा छुट्टै परिच्छेद सहित १३ वटा दफा २ सदनले थपेका छन्। himalkhabar.com/144645/water-r… #waterresroucesbill

Nepal’s energy script still reads like a seller’s dream in an increasingly buyer’s world. From hydropower to hydrogen to carbon credits, we aim to sell more. But at home, avg. use is <400 kWh/year. Farmers pay more to light a bulb than city dwellers to charge a car. Let’s talk…

Years of elephant raids pushed Bardiya’s farmers to swap maize & rice for turmeric. After forming Sahara Farmers Group, farmer such as Nayaram Sunar now grow & sell the spice, keeping the giants at bay. My latest for @MongabayOrg news.mongabay.com/2025/08/in-wes…


From this water bill discussion, I’m reminded: -civic space here is alive and probing. -defenders and critics can be in one room, voluntarily, and discuss hard issues. this civic space shrinking globally, Nepal keeps it alive and must. #nepal #civicspace #waterbill

आजको ‘राष्ट्रिय खतरा र संसदिय दियित्व’ छलफलमा आयो सुझाव, सरकारले जलस्रोत विधेयक फिर्ता लेओस, विश्वशनिय नया प्रक्रिया शुरु गरोस।
