Bangladesh is on boil once again. Is it anti India focused or there is a larger geopolitical angle. My video on whats happening there, its implications on India and the region and what may lie ahead, analysis the entire situation that is of grave concern. Take a look……
What stands out in the 2025 summit is not merely deepening ties but expanding horizons. Logistic links such as the International North–South Transport Corridor (INSTC), the Chennai–Vladivostok Maritime Corridor (CVMC) and interest in the Northern Sea Route promise to rewire India–Russia trade routes — shortening transit times, reducing dependence on traditional chokepoints, and tying together Arctic, Central Asian and South Asian geographies.
The exclusion of women journalists from Muttaqi’s embassy presser was not just a breach of protocol—it was a breach of principle. It exposed a tension: India’s strategic openness to diplomacy and pragmatism stopping just short of standing up for the equality it claims to hold dear. In the public sphere, actions like this have ripple effects—they chip away at the legitimacy of institutions, of media, and of a society’s promise to its women. The real test is not whether one press conference is fixed—but whether the lesson is learned: equality is not optional, even (or especially) in diplomacy.
Into this devastation walked Donald Trump with his much-hyped ‘peace plan’. At first glance, it sounds like hope- a ceasefire, aid corridors, hostage exchanges, and a promise to end the bloodshed. But the plan, unveiled with Trump’s usual speed and showmanship, looks more like a quick patch job than a serious attempt at resolving one of the most painful conflicts of our time. It soothes the headlines but sidesteps the real disease.
The flames that lit up Kathmandu’s skies were more than just a protest—they were a generational declaration. Just as Sri Lanka’s collapsing economy and Bangladesh’s contested elections rattled their systems, Nepal’s youth-led revolt has sent a warning across South Asia: ignore the young at your peril.
Beneath the veneer of friendly overtures lies deep suspicion. India cannot ignore that Beijing continues to back Pakistan militarily and diplomatically, most recently during ‘Operation Sindoor,’ where China was accused of providing strategic support to Pakistan at a time when India was actively engaged in defending its security interests. India’s approach in Tianjin, therefore, is seen by many analysts as pragmatic diplomacy rather than genuine trust-building. India is well aware that China has repeatedly blocked its efforts to designate Pakistan-based terrorists at the UN, expanded military infrastructure near the LAC, and pushed forward with the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), parts of which undermine India’s sovereignty in Jammu and Kashmir.
Trump’s policies are affecting Indo US relations and impacting India. Not a day passes when a new order by Trump nudges the existing cordiality of ties. The latest ridiculous one on revocation of visas of Indian students who skip classes. A social-media screening rules of non US students too is in the pipeline. As per […]
With the historic 200 Executive Orders signed on day 1 in office, the ‘Master Disruptor’ Trump and his times could herald both dazzling opportunities and thorny challenges for India, molded by his administration’s audacious policies on trade, defense, foreign relations, and immigration. While Trump’s unflinching “America First” ethos and deal-driven worldview might unlock new corridors of cooperation, they also harbor the seeds of potential discord, making it a double-edged sword for India’s strategic ambitions.
Imagine a nation that waits to be split apart as if to be shared amoungst the winners as the spoils of a war. The wolves are already at work. Syria just had its moment of purge with President Bashar Al Assad fleeing after rebels took over Damascus on December 8, 2024 following the Israel Hamas […]
Toronto/New Delhi: In a latest development in the increasing acrimonious Canada India relations, triggered by Trudeau, violent clashes erupted on Sunday during a visit by Indian consular officials to a Hindu temple in Brampton, a Toronto suburb. Footage shared on social media shows groups of demonstrators, including supporters of Khalistan and others waving India’s national […]
