It's been an eventful week in Goa after the State's Tourism Department filed a police complaint against a social media user who supposedly disseminated "false" statistics on the fall in rates of touristic activity in the southwestern coastal state. The X user cited a report by CEIC which claimed foreign tourist arrivals in Goa fell from 8.5 million in 2019 to 1.5 million in 2023, "thereby causing significant annoyance to local businesses and inducing fear or alarm within the local community.” While the Government of Goa vehemently disagrees with the statistic, this development has prompted an outpouring of discussion around the health and sustainability of the State's tourism sector, particularly in comparison to their Southeast Asian competitors. Join Anupam Manur and Kripa Koshy as they discuss factors that impede the growth of the tourism sector in Goa, what responsible tourism could look like in India and best practices that the State may be able to cherry pick from around the globe.

In the 1980s, sociologist Ray Oldenburg coined the notion of a "third place": a space dedicated to informal gatherings to facilitate conversation and social interaction, argued to be essential to democracy. Many commentators see third spaces as valuable contributions to social cohesion. But in an increasingly globalised and virtual world where spaces serve multiple purposes, is there value in the third space? Join Shreya Ramakrishnan, Bharath Reddy and Kripa Koshy from the Takshashila Policy School in this discussion on the value and revitalisation of third spaces.

India-China relations are dynamic, featuring periods of marked conflict, competition, and some cooperation. Structurally, however, the relations face significant challenges today, in domains ranging from the boundary dispute and trade imbalance, to broader tensions surrounding leadership of the 'Global South', burgeoning US-China contestation, and competing visions for a regional order. And even though the structural faultlines cannot be wished away, they require a crisp and innovative means to think about achieving equilibrium and some stability.
In this episode of 'All Things Policy', Manoj Kewalramani speaks to Anushka Saxena about a pathway towards achieving a new modus vivendi with China. He sheds light on the influential strands of thought shaping the two neighbours' policies toward each other, while also proposing a 6-part framework for India to consider as it approaches the 'China question'. Manoj's detailed ideas are also elaborated in his latest research paper for Takshashila, entitled 'Contours of a New Modus Vivendi with China'.

hey I learnt a lot from the sinauli episode. Can u kindly do one episode on keezhadi excavation also?
ms.ahluwalia needs a better mic.
Good discussion Aniruddh and Rajat. I have read the book and wasn't sure if I should still spend the time listening to the podcast but I am glad I did. I liked the parts on historical aspects of Indian trucking, the difference that you saw between trucking in the north and the south, the structure of the industry and of course the characters and their stories. Rajat - Congratulations again on the book and looking forward to the next edition. There's a point in the discussion where you talk about book recommendations on the Battle of Kohima. I'd highly recommend reading "Road of Bones" by Fergal Keane (Aniruddh - you might disagree less with Subhash Chandra Bose after reading about the conduct of the Japanese soldiers and officers, at least before they started to run out of food)
Felt as if podcast was sponsored by Uber and Ola
It's not about the privacy issue it's about fair trade which China doesn't allow other countries app. So cut this crap of not being like another China. We shd fight it on all fronts
We all understand that these are unusual times with unusual challenges. But there is no point in coming up with a podcast episode if listeners can't listen.
