By reigniting Middle East just when we had begun to believe it had gone into deep sleep, Hamas has also underlined the many contradictions within, and questions about, Islamic world.
Over the last decades, club sport and professionalism have softened hard nationalism. It began with football and much of that is playing out in cricket now. The ongoing World Cup is proof.
Last 8 decades following WW-II & Israel’s experience show relying on military power, however formidable, is an ineffective approach to achieving larger political & strategic aims.
While it's not a good idea to bring religion into the game, all competitive sport is about passion. To expect a crowd to not be heavily partisan, particularly when India and Pakistan play on each other's turf, is a fantasy.
Benjamin Netanyahu persisting with his sledgehammer approach where a scalpel might have worked is not wise. In the war of dead-baby pictures, the question of who’s the real victim will inevitably be obfuscated.
Kanshi Ram was a genius & a political visionary, his ideas gave India an OBC prime minister. But Bihar-style caste census would be a very sad offering to the rest of the country.
Just because Trudeau in his juvenility has declared war on the Modi government, it is no reason for India to launch hostilities with their own people in Punjab.
When Punjabis become unhappy with their situation, they will vote out their government. They won’t go to some Trudeau or Gurpatwant Singh Pannun to seek help for a regime change.
Liberalism is INDIA’s brand proposition as against what it describes as the BJP’s narrow-minded bigotry. This listing of its no-go anchors does not strengthen that claim.
The 40 years from the NAM summit in 1983 to this G20 with Biden, Macron & Sunak bilaterals mark India’s march from a fake non-alignment to a mostly transactional policy autonomy.
Electoral competition now appears dominated by welfare delivery and governance metrics, but ideology has not disappeared in Tamil Nadu. Instead, it has become strategic.
India’s fast-growing data centre sector may strain state electricity networks; Central Electricity Authority has urged Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Tamil Nadu to boost capacity.
Theaterisation, which aims to divide the forces into three theatres with specific areas of responsibility, will become the single most far-reaching reform that the Indian military has witnessed since independence.
China patiently invested capital, skill and technology in coal gasification. Unlike it, we won’t move from words to action. As crude prices decline, we lose interest.
Now what? India’s Balakot attack was less about the terrorists and more about signaling that India will cross the International boundary. They missed that lesson.
Now – after an intense slugging match, they will count scores. Punjabi bravado will be on full display. But the point that India widened the retaliation to ALL Pakistan airbases will be missed. Ceasefire unfortunately will only strengthen the warmongers in Pakistan!
Here comes the paki loving fake news peddler coupta again..no one gives a flying fuck about your jihadi buddies in pukidtan couptaji. Just flatten them out and move on
This guy speaks like RSS agent … Terrorism in kasmir is product of BJP … He hiding basic fact

He has risked war for sure. Unfolding all around us now.
Is it just Munir or is it China? It’s impossible that china is not involved in this in some way.
