## Resource

First, we speak with The Indian Express' Diplomatic Affairs Editor Shubhajit Roy and Nikhil Ghanekar about flash floods in Nepal. Nikhil discusses the possible reasons behind the floods and why they are so catastrophic and Shubhajit details India's efforts to help Nepal manage the situation. Next, we speak with The Indian Express' Aditi Raja about the Gujarat Public Service Commission’s Sales Tax Inspector examination and how one question in the exam turned into a larger debate over answer keys and how public service commissions frame questions. (10:24) Lastly, we discuss why Russia, one of the world’s biggest crude producers and refiners, has been forced to import gasoline from abroad, including from India. (21:12) Hosted by Niharika Nanda Produced by Shashank Bhargava, Ichha Sharma, and Niharika Nanda Edited and mixed by Suresh Pawar
