Unnecessary hiccups in India-US relations
The article discusses the strained relations between India and the US, highlighting the political situation in Bangladesh following Sheikh Hasina's ouster and the installation of a military-backed regime led by Muhammad Yunus. It criticizes the US for supporting this regime and for its actions regarding the Khalistan movement in Canada, which have negatively impacted India-US relations. The article suggests that the US State Department's actions are perceived as hostile towards India, potentially pushing India closer to China. It calls for a halt to these activities and hopes for improved relations with the arrival of a new US President.
India must not let guard down on China
The article discusses the recent border agreement between India and China, which restores the 2020 status quo but does not eliminate the perceived threat from China. Despite a meeting between Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping, trust issues persist, with China continuing to oppose India's international moves and using Pakistan as a proxy. The article emphasizes the need for India to strengthen its infrastructure and military along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) to counter potential Chinese aggression. It also highlights the trade imbalance favoring China and the lack of progress on dual-use infrastructure removal by China.
Trudeau’s foreign policy determined by self-interest
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau faces criticism for allegedly prioritizing self-interest in foreign policy, particularly in relation to India and China. Accusations against India regarding the murder of Hardeep Singh Nijjar have strained diplomatic relations, with Trudeau's government accused of using these claims to divert attention from Chinese interference in Canadian elections. The article suggests Trudeau's actions are driven by vote bank considerations, particularly to appease Khalistani supporters, and highlights the lack of evidence against Indian diplomats. Trudeau's popularity is declining, with the Canadian public increasingly aware of his tactics.
Nasrallah was a terrorist ideologue, not a saint
The article criticizes Hassan Nasrallah, the former leader of Hezbollah, labeling him as a terrorist ideologue responsible for numerous attacks against Israel and Western targets. It highlights Hezbollah's violent history under Nasrallah's leadership, including attacks in Argentina and Saudi Arabia, and its role in the Israel-Lebanon conflict. The piece questions the support for Nasrallah in regions like India, suggesting potential security implications. It portrays Nasrallah as lacking a moral compass and criticizes any attempts to legitimize or mourn him as a spiritual leader.
It's time Congress stopped questioning EVMs
The article criticizes the Congress party for questioning the integrity of Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) following its electoral defeat in Haryana, contrasting this with the BJP's acceptance of unexpected results in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. It argues that Congress's repeated allegations of EVM tampering undermine Indian democracy and suggests that the party's electoral strategy, overconfidence, and internal factionalism contributed to its loss. The article calls for Congress to conduct a detailed analysis of its electoral performance rather than blaming EVMs.
The war in West Asia: The ball is in Iran’s court
Israel's recent military strike on Iranian assets highlights a significant disparity in conventional warfare capabilities between the two nations. The attack, involving over a hundred Israeli fighter jets, successfully targeted key Iranian military sites, including those of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, without encountering resistance from Iran's defense systems. This raises questions about Iran's military prowess and its ability to operate advanced defense systems like the S-300 and S-400. The Israeli response was a measured retaliation to Iran's earlier missile attack, with potential implications for regional stability and global energy markets. The article suggests that Iran should reconsider its strategic priorities, focusing on national development rather than prolonged conflict.
Anatomy of an animus: Why is Obama wishing India ill?
The article discusses the perceived animosity of former US President Barack Obama towards India, particularly in light of recent comments suggesting India's potential division along religious lines. It highlights the successful outcomes of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to the US, including a significant technology transfer deal, and questions Obama's motives, suggesting a possible Cold War mentality and a preference for Pakistan. The article argues that such views undermine the India-US partnership, which is crucial for countering China's influence in the Indo-Pacific region.
India will have to stay vigilant on China
The article discusses the ongoing tensions between India and China, highlighting the need for India to remain vigilant in light of China's recent actions and rhetoric. It critiques China's portrayal of the Galwan valley clash as an achievement and warns of potential future conflicts. The piece also touches on India's geopolitical positioning, its relations with the US, and the broader implications of China's 20th National Congress. The author argues for a more assertive stance from India on the international stage, particularly regarding human rights issues.
PM Modi has redefined Indian diplomacy
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has significantly redefined Indian diplomacy, enhancing India's global influence through unique diplomatic strategies and cultural outreach. His efforts have positioned India as a voice for the Global South, particularly evident during India's G20 Presidency. Modi's personal connections with world leaders and the Indian diaspora have strengthened international ties, while his promotion of Indian culture, such as yoga and shared heritage, has bolstered India's soft power. His diplomatic approach, characterized by thoughtful gestures and gifts, has earned respect and recognition from global leaders, further solidifying India's standing on the world stage.
An information warfare against India
The article discusses an alleged information warfare against India, highlighting a purported disinformation campaign involving a fabricated memo targeting Sikh activists. It criticizes Western media and foreign entities for painting India negatively, potentially affecting India-US relations. The narrative suggests a coordinated effort by Pakistan's ISI, with possible Chinese backing, to revive the Khalistan movement and undermine India's global standing. The article questions the US administration's ability to counter anti-India narratives and emphasizes the strategic importance of India-US relations.
