FIGHTING IN AFGHANISTAN WITHOUT A STRATEGY
US Defense Secretary James Mattis made an alarming admission: “We are not winning in Afghanistan right now.”
In the course of a war that's lasted longer than WWII, we have become complacent. India must think about how events could unfold as US fights, negotiates & bribes its way out of Afghanistan.
While we build infrastructure in Afghanistan, we must also change our approach to Pakistan, come out of the post-26/11 sulk, and engage with its imperfect democratic establishment.
One has to be incredibly credulous to buy BJP spin masters’ argument that the government got rid of Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar for harmonious relationship with the judiciary.
Modi government had also made numerous efforts to establish peace with Pakistan but has now adopted a different path, militarily, to establish peace, adds defence minister.
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.
