Indo-Qatar tangle and probable actors

Look, I am not emphasizing that this is why the eight Indian officers got arrested by the Qatari government, but we can find a circumstantial tell-tale if we roll back to last year. The Nupur Sharma fiasco hit the media in May 2022. The fallout of it continued for a couple of months. The Indian […]

Did Hamas just ‘Saddam’ themselves?

Immediately following Israel’s decision of going after Hamas in response to the horrific act of terrorism on October 7, cheerleaders of the pro-China media erupted in unison.

Woke Jews of the US and Israel have been trying for the last couple of years to ‘convert’ the Israeli government

Looking through the haze of Israel attack

An interconnected world is a good thing; we all know and admit that. The issue, however, is that with interconnectedness comes access, and scores of state and non-state players engage themselves in the different spheres of regional and/or global politics. When events like the 7/10 Hamas attack on Israel takes place, and when it becomes […]

Informed Indians are primarily divided in two groups on this question: those who think that this entire episode has been guided and directed by the USA, and those who think […]

Nagorno-Karabakh Conflict and the Caucasian Chessboard

Though geopolitics and religion have historically remained fairly interlinked with each other, I had always thought that since the parties in conflict rarely bring it up officially, it would probably also be possible for me to explore, extract, and present only the hard political angles to such conflicts. However, these days it appears that omitting […]

Justin Trudeau’s wokeism is on display

Bilateral relations have been a little tense between India and Canada during recent times. It began with the Khalistan separatist movement gaining renewed visibility in Canada, with different fringe groups from among the Sikh diaspora (about 2% of Canadian population) organizing events, rallies and fundraisers to revive mid-90s’ bloody separatism in Indian Punjab. Strangely, these […]

I have to admit, that as someone banking on the Cold War era conflicts and politics to create a workable understanding about global realpolitik, I have traditionally been fairly sceptical about India’s approach towards the international arena.
