In an official statement, China said it has always ensured "peace through real action", but made no mention of the 1962 war with India or the 2017 Doklam stand-off.
India's first prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru left behind a legacy that has since been subject to admiration and attack. ThePrint remembers him on his 55th death anniversary.
Lt. Gen Bakshi was one of the country's most decorated generals and fought in all of India's wars except against China in 1962. Besides being a brave soldier, he was an inspiration to many.
India’s policymakers need to ensure that labourers, and milk and newspaper delivery workers, do not have to sacrifice food just to keep a roof over their heads.
In the latest budget, the FDI limit was increased to 100 percent, but most foreign companies are not buying such large stakes in the Indian insurance sector.

As Narendra Modi becomes India’s second-longest consecutively serving Prime Minister, we look at how he compares with Indira Gandhi across four key dimensions.
China never claimed victory. Indians do not understand warfare even with 57 year hindsight. Such people are External Affairs Ministers and generals! China vacated every inch and retreated to prewar position. When enemy retreats, any other nation would claim victory – except Indians!
SJ is certainly NOT a abecedarian like yourself. Don’t think you have even read much on foreign policy and diplomacy in your life. It is just your antipathy that leaps out, and foreign affairs is certainly glamorous to get you visibility.

In all fairness, there will be another EAM in future, who will conduct a similar forensic analysis of the subsequent period. He will probably read the Editor’s somewhat stern assessment in a column published a year ago to get some background material. 2. This speech is in some ways a little problematic. Over the course of a long and very distinguished career in the IFS, EAM would have been party to some of the decisions he now faults. Even for older ones, before his time, he must have defended them in countless international fora, as his junior colleagues are now doing with 5th August. This public airing of the trousseau also undermines the sanctity and bipartisanship of foreign policy. 3. To be perfectly honest, I was always a much greater admirer of Foreign Secretary Smt Sujatha Singh.
