Call between the two leaders comes as the US claims it is negotiating an end to the conflict with Iran. EAM Jaishankar spoke to his counterpart Rubio for the first time Monday.
As critics accuse PM Modi of surrendering national sovereignty and India’s moral compass over Iran crisis, declassified documents show the dilemmas he faces are not new.
Trump has ushered in the age of humiliation. His method is to push around America’s friends rudely and publicly. He knows none of them can afford to fight back.
US Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau also expressed excitement about the trade deal that is 'almost at the finish line', speaking at the Raisina Dialogue in Delhi.
India, however, has maintained that any purchases of Russian oil is a business decision for its firms, without clarifying if any political commitment was made to the US.
Lindsey Ford, formerly deputy assistant secretary of defence for South & Southeast Asia under Joe Biden's administration, warns of trust erosion and urges arms support in Congressional testimony.
India is hosting AI Impact Summit where politicians, tech leaders, CEOs have gathered to discuss what world should be doing to marshal AI revolution in right direction.
India is today immeasurably better resourced to make such bets than it was in 1950 or 1954. It has the credibility across divides that Pakistan can never quite claim.
Despite its new avatar, Kerala’s culture remains rooted in socialistic principles. Yet there is growing acceptance to ‘privatisation with participation', observers say.
Report on impact of AI emergence—drawing upon depositions from several ministries—confirms that the developments come in the absence of AI laws or considerations over them.
It’s easy to understand why the government can’t speak the hard truth. When this war ends, as all wars do, India’s interests will lie with both the winner and the loser.
I think you’re finding your voice again. The last few articles have been excellent. I felt the few before that had sentiments that were not entirely convincingly coming through in the articles.
Good to be looking forward to your articles each week again.
Have been reading Western media for over a decade now and having also lived in the West, the thing that stands out to me is how utterly corrupt they are. Half-truths and selective outrage is applied not just to India but even within their own countries. This applies to both right and left. This is all about controlling the public and access to power and money. They are also used by their governments as the occasion arises to promote narratives. So, no! Don’t bother to “engage” with them. The more you grovel, the more contempt they have for you. Instead, build your own credible, high-quality media, including streaming platforms. I also read the article on Mahmudabad in Swarajya. I think he worked cleverly and India’s dumb BJP politicians fell into the trap. Any line that “Muslims are so ill-treated in India” will always have takers in Western media. Where there is demand, the supply will follow.
We cannot have it both ways. Making a conscious choice of the West, led by the United States, as a long term strategic partner of choice, for both security and economic cooperation, and then run a parallel narrative ( not my favourite word ) of how they are conspiring all the time, most incredibly sometimes in collaboration with China, to run us down. Authoritative global media values its masthead, in a way many of our channels do not. One day at the height of the fighting was especially egregious. We must engage with it. Not as a lobbying or PR exercise but a serious conversation with a country whose global salience is increasing. We should also be very mindful of global indices and where India figures in them.
