The October 2019 cyber attack on a computer system at the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant that has two Russian Pressurised Water Reactors at Kudankulam in Tirunelvelli district, Tamil Nadu, by Dtrack virus paved ‘new pathways to severe accidents that can result in widespread radioactive fallout. Attempts to lower this risk would further increase the cost of nuclear power’, according to M V Ramana, Professor and Simons Chair in Disarmament, Global and Human Security and director, Liu Institute for Global Issues, School of Public Policy and Global Affairs, University of British Columbia and Lauren J. Borja, postdoctoral research fellow MacArthur Nuclear Security Fellow at the Center for International Security and Cooperation, University of Stanford, USA. The two nuclear reactors were connected to the electric grid in October 2013 and August 2016 and hence the danger of collapse and destruction of a large segment of national power transmission and distribution network looms large.

At a time when there have been protests in several parts of India against the Citizenship Amendment Act 2019, mostly organised by Muslim groups supported by Left liberals and the opposition parties, Prime Minister Narendra Modi rather chooses to connect with the majority community. Modi was on a visit to Kolkata where after his scheduled official tasks, including a meeting with his bête noire, state chief minister Mamata Banerjee, he stayed at Belur Math the whole night. The next morning, PM Modi observed the 158th birth anniversary of Swami Vivekananda, the most revered Hindu monk of the modern times — whose life has influenced many leading nationalist leaders and leading Indian thinkers of the British era, including Mahatma Gandhi, Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, Rabindranath Tagore, Aurobindo Ghosh and C.
