PEN America welcomes George Packer, whose gripping fable of imperial collapse—The Emergency—illuminates the crises of our times.

Mumbai, May 15 (SocialNews.XYZ) Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari shared that the Emergency affected his studies, leading him to score 52 percent in his metric and 49.26 percent in science, because of which he was disqualified from getting admission into engineering. Gadkari will be seen on Shekhar Suman’s new late-night talk show, Shekhar Tonite. In a candid interaction, Gadkari opens up about how he once failed to secure admission into engineering despite it being his family’s biggest dream for him. That helped him become the man associated with seven remarkable infrastructure world records, including multiple Guinness World Records under his leadership.
