It’s our economy, not her genes, that’ll influence Kamala Harris’ view of India

Illustration by Soham Sen | ThePrint Text Size: A- A+ The excitement Joe Biden’s choice of Kamala Harris as his running mate has caused in India is understandable. She is half-Indian. Also, half-Jamaican and now a full American, but never mind. The big question is, because of her Indian origin, will she favour her ‘mother’ country, or be hostile to it to prove she is more American than Americans? This week, we are arguing why this is such a vacuous and nonsensical debate. Whenever somebody with such a globalised genetic mix becomes famous, we Indians are quick to pronounce that the better half of her came from us, especially if the other parent hails from a smaller nation. As for Sunita Williams earlier, and...

The postmortem from Gerard Piqué was as brutal as the humiliation dished to Barcelona by Bayern Munich.“It’s a disastrous result,” the defender said. “An embarrassment, that’s the word.”The numbers were 8-2.Another number? 74. It’s that many years since Barcelona conceded as many goals in a game.“We have hit rock bottom,” Piqué said in a television interview on the field after Friday’s loss dumped the five-time winners out of the Champions League in the quarterfinals.Unlike the capitulations in the previous two seasons — against Roma and Liverpool — there was no first-leg lead to throw away.Not even Lionel Messi could save Barcelona at the end of a season in which he has seemed increasingly agitated by the disarray.This was a night of utter misery in Lisbon in the pandemic...

‘Invites down to one-fourth’: Covid precautions in place for Independence Day event at Red Fort | India News – Times of India

NEW DELHI: Special arrangements have been made to maintain the sanctity of the Independence Day flag-hoisting ceremony at Red Fort on Saturday while factoring in requisite precautions due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The defence ministry said the measures range from quarantining the armed forces personnel who will present the guard of honour to PM Modi to inviting NCC cadets instead of young school children to witness the event. “All ceremonial drills have factored in social distancing norms as well as other precautionary measures. The guiding principle for seating has been ‘do gaz ki doori’ or a six-feet distance between any two guests seated during the event,” an official said. The number of invitees has also been curtailed to around one-fourth the normal. The MoD said only about 4,000 i...
