Watch Amana Begam Ansari explain why Mustafizur’s removal from KKR isn’t the same as boycotting match with Pakistan in this week's column for #ThePrint:
Thirty-six years after he was arrested and convicted, the most successful double-agent to ever work inside the Central Intelligence Agency died this week at the Federal Correctional Institution at Cumberland, Maryland. From 1985, when he began selling secrets to the Soviet Union, Aldrich Hazen Ames compromised over 100 CIA operations, enabled the execution of ten high-level sources, and helped plant disinformation which made its way to three United States presidents. An official investigation concluded he “caused more damage to the national security of the United States than any spy in the history of the CIA.” watch @praveenswami explains in @theprintindia #Explorer the most important lesson of the Ames case—which is how easy it was for him to get away with it. Like all bureaucracies, intelligence services—even the best ones—tend to be mired in process and procedure.

Every time India’s delivery workers surface in the news — whether for earning Rs 762 after a 15-hour shift and 28 deliveries, or for being forced to walk nearly a kilometre into an apartment complex because security won’t let their bike through — we’re invited to examine our consciences. In this familiar run-around, we look on with appropriate distress, urge each other to tip generously, and make the effort to walk down to the gate. Watch ThePrint columnist Karanjeet Kaur explains 'How platforms that manufactured a culture of 10-minute delivery have now made consumers an equal party to the exploitation of workers.'.
The new year had barely begun when the United States captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, an event that immediately drew global attention. In China, the operation quickly became a hotly debated topic, where commentators are widely interpreting it as a furthering of a “Trump 2.0” agenda and the revival of a “New Monroe/Donroe Doctrine”, reflecting Washington’s intent to assert strict control over the Western Hemisphere.

How pathetic! work of fiction. Emanates from your hate for Hinduism. Shameful

God permit, these doctors should be treating you in future.
Complete waste of time. If you are doing journalism since long time doesn't mean you are journalists, remained कचरा at this age of life. We did not expect much from the print but this is disgusting. No substance.
For God's sake name the former Army Chief accurately
Great analysis 👍
Wrong title
The initial few minutes are blank
You want muslim women leadership to toe line of what male chauvinist leaders? We want women leadership to take up women's issues. Pathetic. Podcast

What am idiotic argument 'why India is refusing visas to Afghans if India wants to be big player'. Did USA, China Pak grant visas to Afghans? You have no sense of National Security Issues. Please quit.
Clubbing our Prime Minister in the club of Trump, Bolsnaro and Putin was a pathetic attempt to hijack the discussion. Good that the guest did not comment. Then declaring that the largest media Org of India is not truthful is indicative of your motivated journalism contrary to what Print claims about un- hyphenated journalism.

Hi, I love the podcasts from The Print, listen to them almost everyday. Thank you for making them. It would be really great if the readings were done in a style similar to the editor's picks by The Economist. Just a suggestion though. Thank you.
Fully politically motivated podcast.
