Damien Symon, a geo-intelligence and OSINT expert, affiliated with The Intel Lab, shared the satellite images of the ship moving in the Indian Ocean on social media.
India’s realpolitik demands clarity, not complacency. Jingoism won’t deter Pakistan—or China. It's time to act with strategic realism, not rhetorical bravado.
In 2024, China approved the construction of a $137 billion dam on the Yarlung Tsangpo River, the Tibetan name for the Brahmaputra, projected to generate 60,000 megawatt power.
China appears impatient and sensitive to the prospect that India might have the appetite for only a shallow thaw that could be easily reversed or adjusted.
While progress at the diplomatic and military levels may help restore broader engagement, China's responsiveness to India’s concerns will shape future relations.
There was a time when Indians dreamt of being world leaders in technology. Now, the Chinese are so far ahead that they don’t even regard us as competition. It’s between them and the US.
China’s most critical international relationship remains with the US. With Donald Trump returning to the presidency, China-US relations are expected to face intensified challenges.
Cape Town and Chennai in recent years endured punishing droughts. Similar conditions afflicted Bengaluru and Hyderabad last year. Now Tehran is facing the same emergency.
With the US-India trade deal yet to get done, rupee depreciation may be helping to mitigate India’s loss of competitiveness. The other problem is extreme despondence among overseas equity investors.
Of the total package, $649 million will be utilised for additional hardware, software, and support services, and the remaining for Major Defence Equipment (MDE).
Don’t blame misfortune. This is colossal incompetence and insensitivity. So bad, heads would have rolled even in the old PSU-era Indian Airlines and Air India.
