The scale of coronavirus crisis is so great that governments need to focus entirely inwards. India is unlikely to have the resources to help its neighbours much.
A plaque embossed in the wall of a gurdwara where 17 of 35 Kashmiri Sikh men were lined up and shot dead is now gone. All that remains are bullet holes.
What’s needed – and what must be a priority – is getting tests for the people who are ill or who at least have symptoms and are in a vulnerable category.
Let’s hope it doesn’t happen, but if a mass explosion of coronavirus is upon us, it will be because of the Indian government’s refusal to test a large number of suspected patients.
There is a disproportionate amount of fake news doing the rounds in India about coronavirus. From eating eggs to biological warfare, we bust the myths.
By late 2021, Uttar Pradesh will start witnessing the results of its massive exercise targeting real learning among children, which will be a model for India.
PM Modi targets $5 billion in defence exports in next 5 years. If 'Make in India’ reaches its full potential, $10-15 billion is achievable in a decade.
In first episode of ThePrint’s new offering, ‘Cut The Corona Clutter’, Shekhar Gupta talks about some of the latest scientific developments to tackle the coronavirus crisis.
This is the transcript of Ep 1830 of Cut the Clutter, where Shekhar Gupta explains why strategic petroleum reserves are a national necessity & how India compares with China, US & Japan.
Tracked and wheeled variants, built in collaboration with Tata Advanced Systems and Bharat Forge, carry 30mm turrets, cross water using hydro jets, and are 65% indigenous.
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.
It is not Trumps fixation. He is crude to let the proverbial cat out of the bag. Pakistan surrendered itself to the American interests decades back. It has since then resigned to a gold digger status which was also mentioned in this daily a few days back. Pakistan holds substantial geographical significance too. It is merely a totem to balance the Asian power equation and the usual player is America. Americans will never stop playing these games because of their inherent desire to be the boss of the world. We should be least concerned with what America thinks. If there is something that Operation Sindoor showed, it is that India too can break its shackles and display much higher strategic autonomy than is perceived by the opinion pieces in different dailies across the world. One should never forget the civilisation prowess of India. It should be taken into consideration because the bigger powers of today are wary of one thing – rise of another power axis in the world. And the West hates it to see it again in Asia.
Mt praveen swamy is I’ll suited for writing to sn indian publication. His thoughts and offerings are more suitable to be printed in The Dawn. Perpetually pessimistic about India, or maybe the current government, we don’t hear one note of positivity from him on anything Indian. He invites “foreign” guests on his talk show to achieve the same objective, run down India and its actions. wheb young Indians are full of hope for their future, comes this old pessimistic uncle who cannot say one thing positive about India. The Print should think twice before having these columnists on their payroll. I am tempted to subscribe but then this joker and the lady joker Sagarika make me throw up at the prospect of paying anything to ThePrint
Did india invite superpower intervention in 2019 or 2025, does the author have proof? Further, whatever he has written in this article is called whataboutry guised in hindsight bias…
In 1999, 2001-2002, and again in 2019 and 2025, it invited superpower intervention after unleashing a military crisis it proved unable to control.
Mr swamy, please cross the border and write for The Dawn, or other pak leaning outlets. If you have good reasons to believe the above statement please publish them. Otherwise do us a favour and get the hell out of this country.
President Trump is a realist. Although the entire world sticks to the formulation, Kashmir is a disputed territory whose future should be settled by a peaceful dialogue between India and Pakistan, and in accordance with the wishes of the Kashmiri people, as a practical matter, they accept the status quo, with the LoC sacrosanct. What worries the international community, at some stage could also weigh on investor sentiment, is the possibility of war between the two countries. How this should be done is beyond my pay grade, but India and Pakistan have to work diligently to reduce the possible of a potentially nuclear conflict to much below where it now is. The recent IMF decision on providing $ 2.4 billion to Pakistan is a reminder that we are not able to bring the world entirely to our point of view.
First, we ourselves should stop talking about Pakistan. Pakistan managed to garner headlines in the last 3 weeks, out of nowhere.
We were all discussing something else. And now we are discussing something else.
