Unless dramatic reversals take place, the core of India’s foreign policy, which, at least since 2000, has focused on the US, Pakistan, China, and Russia, stands on the verge of collapse.
Lack of cockpit coordination & pilot disagreements, poor decision-making, lapses in judgement are mentioned among factors contributing to human error & complacency in 46 final reports.
If there is bad blood between the CEC and the Opposition leaders, it will shake the people’s faith in election results. It’s the worst thing that could happen to Indian democracy.
ABC effort is at centre of debate on stray dog management following SC order that has prompted nationwide protests. ThePrint talks to ABC centres on sterilisation & challenges they face.
Analysis shows that in at least 47% of 68 final reports, AAIB finds violations or lapses by operators & makes remarks about them. But they are not always directly linked to accidents.
Premanand Maharaj’s popularity stems not just from his soft-spoken sermons, but also from his positioning as a ‘progressive baba’ — one who supports love and inter-caste marriages, and gives logical, non-ritualistic advice.
India’s policy on Myanmar has been to deal with its Generals and maintain a distance from the country’s insurgent groups and political struggles. This will have to change.
When the case was reopened, her father went through every file, every yellowed newspaper clipping, every document he had gathered over the years. That night, he didn't sleep.
According to a report by Macquarie, India’s data centre market is estimated to double by 2027. India currently has 1.4 gigawatts of operational data centre capacity.
At 11th edition of Indo-Pacific Regional Dialogue in New Delhi, Navy Chief Admiral Dinesh K Tripathi said there are three major currents shaping this maritime 'dynaxity'.
On 21 Oct, a buzz went up that the govt had released full list of gallantry award recipients along with Op Sindoor citations. I put an AI caddy on the job. It took me into a never-ending rabbit hole.
India has to deal with the ‘reality’ and continue to adjust. All nations do.
India will make incremental gains – at home, economically and in domestic policies as well as with regard to its foriegn policy and relationships.
India matters!
Hypotheticals – of 8% or 9% annual growth over the last decade… – aren’t helpful. It’s nearly impossible for India to achieve those rates and to sustain them for the years ahead. Mr. Sanjeev Sanyal’s talks are timely and pertinent. It’s a long road ahead.
Prior to 2014, the foreign policies and diplomatic relations were not dealt with the intent of glossy headlines and managing local popularity. The claimed free fall, I feel, is the result of this new found obsession with managing local headlines even in the matter of foreign relations and the illogical tendency to project every leader to be a personal friend. If my memory serves right, this has never been the case earlier.
The biggest headache for India is the diminishing strength of the United States as an effective geopolitical actor. From its peak at the end of the Cold War, where the mere specter of US sanctions would bring dictators to heel, to the current administration’s reliance on brute hacks and shady deals, the US faces significant challenges.
America will remain a technological leader and a lucrative market, but its ability to affect geopolitics will be restricted to smaller pockets like the Levant. India needs to prepare for a post-American geopolitics, and we must acknowledge the prudence in maintaining good ties with Russia.
Towards the close of the first term, the Editor had written a magisterial column on our foreign policy being adrift. Really wish it had been acted upon.
This is exactly how the West led by Trump wants the rest to see India. However there is no foreign policy free fall. A complex phase is unraveling for Indian diplomacy. India’s rising power is more substantial than the so called great powers. It will soon be the third largest economy in the world, without the ballooning statism, aging demography or super debt of the US. While per capital we are a modest economy, the potential is just incomparable. This makes the West especially the US very nervous. Looks like India seems to be their numero uno target to put pressure on. The only part we didn’t probably see was how much the US detests a real growth story that isn’t under its control.
One must not pontificate on topics he/she has absolutely no idea of.
And The Print needs to put such articles through an editorial filter. I genuinely believe I can put together a better article on Indian foreign policy issues.

Hard reality is that socialist India doesn’t have any standing in the world. Capitalism will give respect, but India is allergic to capitalism.

India needs to show some hard power. We have been focusing only on economy.
