Rating democracies is a tricky business. I am only using the simple metric of who in the Indian subcontinent has had the most peaceful, stable, normal political transitions and continuity.
Trump has ushered in the age of humiliation. His method is to push around America’s friends rudely and publicly. He knows none of them can afford to fight back.
The Pakistani political leadership is weak and devoid of any intellect. Its diplomacy is entirely India-China-US focused and suffers from a presumptive view of Afghanistan as a vassal.
This is the game every nation is now learning to play. Some are finding new allies or seeing value among nations where they’d seen marginal interest. The starkest example is India & Europe.
By next weekend, Bangladesh will have an elected government. This is India’s moment to reboot broken ties by moderating the ‘ghuspethiya’ rhetoric in poll-bound West Bengal and Assam.
The key to fighting a war successfully, or even launching it, is a clear objective. That’s an entirely political call. It isn’t emotional or purely military.
No nation other than China can negotiate one-on-one with Trump on an equal footing. That’s why the middle powers who so far formed the core of multilateral bodies now feel orphaned.
Pakistan not only has zero chance of catching up with India in most areas, but will inevitably see the gap rising. Its leaders will offer its people the same snake oil in different bottles.
Recent data does not support any dramatic shift away from the dollar. As per IMF, the share of international transactions conducted in dollars has declined from 56.90% to 56.77%.
Increase in employment subsidy, Rs 500 crore for estate revamp, new townships in pipeline—but land cost, power breakdowns and inspector raj top among key worries for industry leaders.
CDS Anil Chauhan says future space capability will not be built by government agencies alone. ‘It will be co-developed with industry, start-ups, and technology innovators’.
American objectives are unmet. They neither have muscle nor motivation to resume the war. As for Iran, the regime didn’t just survive, it’s now led by more radical individuals.
The long and short or this being that Indians deprived classes are not better now than before and the nation needs to stop introspecting but really act to implement equality by hard andnstrong affirmative action.
Which is why I have never understood the canard that Muslims are being “ appeased “ in India. On many social and economic parameters, they fare no better than Dalits.
was CJI Right in making that comment . has anyone including Shri Shekhar Gupta have courage to make similar statement for sesmic religion .

The shoe-throwing was not due to his caste, but his rude anti-Hindu remarks. Just because he is Buddhist he has no right to mock Hindu gods. On the other hand, we have laws, that criminalize mocking Ambedkar who is considered as god and statues are built. Mr Gavai must respect all religions. His caste can’t be used for victim card, in this case.
