Iran foreign minister Mohammad Javad Zarif arrived in New Delhi Tuesday, less than two weeks after the US ended the exemptions from sanctions granted to India to import oil from Iran.
Donald Trump’s decision not to issue waivers to the importers of Iranian oil gives Saudi Arabia the chance to absorb Iran’s market share without compromising the price.
To avoid sanctions, India will have to reduce oil imports from Iran & cancel a planned $6 billion purchase of S-400 anti-aircraft missiles from Russia.
Over generations, Bihar’s bane has been its utter lack of urbanisation. But now, even Bihar is urbanising. Or let’s say, rurbanising. Two decades under Nitish Kumar have created a new elite in its cities.
Indian govt officials last month skipped Turkish National Day celebrations in Delhi, in a message to Ankara following its support for Islamabad, particularly during Operation Sindoor.
Bihar is blessed with a land more fertile for revolutions than any in India. Why has it fallen so far behind then? Constant obsession with politics is at the root of its destruction.
There is a real risk of war. India’s foreign policy has been all over the place. The next government will almost have to start from scratch.
