In Episode 412 of #CutTheClutter, Shekhar Gupta explains how opportunity in Congress is shrinking both vertically & horizontally, forcing its ranks to look elsewhere.
In Episode 411 of #CutTheClutter, Shekhar Gupta talks about how Sonia & Rahul have reversed Indira Gandhi's 1969 playbook, by letting young leaders go and retaining the old guards.
Harsh Mander’s case hearing and the deeply divided debate it sparked shows the fault lines Indian judiciary has to tread in these politically charged times.
Indian urban localities are as segregated as our villages. Caste is still an important factor in deciding the organisation of spatial environment in cities.
I’d written in Feb 2013 how Gandhi family could no longer swing votes for Congress. As we track ‘Cyclone Scindia’, that ‘National Interest’ has aged rather well.
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.
