The panellists also discuss the Myanmar coup and India s role as the crisis-struck countryâs neighbour. India has its part in not antagonizing the affairs in Myanmar, Anand argues, while quoting Aung San Suu Kyi s observation that âIndia, being a great regional power, must shoulder responsibilityâ.

NL subscribers get back with bouquets and brickbats!
Dear Team NL Hafta,
I have been listening to your podcast for over a year now. I took the subscription two months ago, as soon as I got the new job. I am just a small contributor, but I promise I will increase my monetary support as soon as I stabilise in my new job. If my writing is not correct grammatically, I want to apologise. I don t want my name to be mentioned.
I have a query about how you verify a story. Recently, there was a gruesome murder of Rinku Sharma in Delhi. The version of both police and the victim s family are different. The Delhi police is known for its incompetence and peddling of lies and particular narrative. So, which version should we as readers believe? In journalism, do you give importance to victim story or police story?
