Abstract
Indians and Pakistanis are of the same people: Why then have their nations moved on such different trajectories since freedom in 1947? Acclaimed journalist, politician and thinker MJ Akbar led the audience on a historical whodunit to trace the journey of an idea, and the events, people, circumstances and mindset that divided India. His investigation spans a thousand years, and an extraordinary cast: visionaries, opportunists, statesmen, tyrants, plunderers, generals, and theologians. There is no better guide to the subcontinent’s past, and a glimpse into its future than Akbar, author of the recently released book, Tinderbox. In conversation with MJ Akbar will be Joseph Caron, former High Commissoner of Canada to India.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
