The Crisis in and Over Ukraine

Programme Type

Discussions, Webcasts

Panelists: Dr. Anuradha Chenoy, formerly Professor and Dean, School of International Studies, Jawaharlal Nehru University; Dr. John Cherian, Consulting Editor, The Frontline; and Amb. Meera Shankar, former Indian Ambassador to USA and Prof. Ashis Nandy, Trustee, IIC

Chair: Amb. K.P. Fabian

We are witnessing the invasion of Ukraine by Russia. Despite declarations of `all support' to Ukraine, U.S. and NATO have made it clear that they would not send troops to Ukraine to fight Russia. This is because the West does not want to wage a war against Russia for reasons not difficult to understand, India has abstained at the Security Council on a U.S. motion vetoed by Russia. The panelists will discuss the genesis of this crisis, its implications for geopolitics in general, and especially for India's relations with U S A

The panel will discuss issues related to collection, dissemination and governance of large-scale nationally representative socio-economic data. Why do we need regular, transparent data on a variety of topics to guide policy? What are the pitfalls that data collectors should watch out for? How should we balance the process of strengthening and expanding the data infrastructure with that of protecting individual privacy? How does technology aid or impede these twin concerns?

06 March 2022, 11:59 pm

(87 min; 1947; b/w; English)
Director: Elliott Nugent

With Bob Hope, Dorothy Lamour, Peter Lorre

My Favorite Brunette finds Bob Hope cast as a baby photographer who is mistaken for a private eye by a mysterious beauty as well as by the various crooks trying to keep her from blowing the lid off their nefarious scheme. Before long, the bumbling would-be snoop finds himself mixing it up with a menacing henchman (a wonderful Peter Lorre), trying to outsmart a dim-witted orderly (Lon Chaney Jr.), and facing execution after a wrongful murder charge. One of Bob’s best, My Favorite Brunette never slows down, offering plenty of choice one-liners, inspired set pieces, and a pair of ace cameo appearances.
