Nitish Kumar has mastered the rhythm of renewal in Bihar. In a democracy of churn and chance, endurance may be the rarest—and most refined—form of political art.
While the move could free up grid capacity struggling to keep up with rapid renewable rollout, it would be a major setback for green ambitions. India aims to double clean power capacity to 500 gigawatts by the end of the decade.
This world is being restructured and redrawn by one man, and what’s his power? It’s not his formidable military. It’s trade. With China, it turned on him.
The no first use policy is meaningless. It cannot prevent first use. The mutually assured destruction fear is the only valid policy but in extreme circumstances, it may not hold. That goes without saying.
I saw this news in other media and they were mis-reporting as if India is planning to change its nuclear first use policy from tomorrow. Here I see exactly what Rajnath Singh said.
That is very common. The global media is filled with very dishonest lefties like Shivam Vij, Rajdeep Sardesai, BBC, NYT clowns and commenter “ashok” here.
President Trump formulates foreign policy on Twitter. That is not necessarily a model for other wise, mature, responsible personages to emulate. 2. No First Use may be regarded as virtuous in that it, by implication, commits a nation to not using nuclear weapons against a non nuclear weapons state. The US pointedly does not subscribe to NFU but no one seriously expects it to use nukes against a non nuclear weapons state. 3. So NFU really boils down to which cowboy will fire his six shooter first. In the ensuing exchange of fire, both will be Dead. India’s – or China’s – NFU doctrine is an assertion of sanity that contributes to stability. That calm has been disturbed by Pakistan’s deployment of tactical nuclear weapons, most likely in response to Cold Start. If anything, there is a need for India and Pakistan to talk on this limited point, remove a potentially unsettling factor out of the already tetchy relationship. 4. Too much macho talk nowadays. Feeding into an ugly, jingoistic mood. It could end badly.
Please ask your govt first use some proactive action to control economic slow down. We don’t need to waste Nuke to tame Pak. Just ask Advaniji how to gather crowd which demolished BM within few hours, the same crowd is more than enough to Pak its place.

USA etc,, do not have NFU policy,
