    Been hearing this BS from last year...the real numbers are half a billion etc. clearly, proof not needed. People like these said India had reached herd immunity last year, therefore lower cases. So what happened now? New /old story now, half a billion again...if that’s true, India has the...

    Unfortunately, spot on. Other than Gujaratis, no one is as deeply invested or hold the same deep connections. I speak of a substantial population if not a majority for whom the above is true, exceptions are not the rule. As for comparisons with the Jewish population, not technically a diaspora...

    R This is the looniest in a whole bunch of loony positions you have outlined. Let’s kiss Chinese butt is your solution? As for the rest, we can only talk about that when we have export alternative market of equal value. Suicide is not a solution. @ezsasa is right, we need to do nothing but...

    Could not agree more but the fault there lies with us and with this government specifically for overhyping them.

    All accurate, putting Kamala Harris in the title is personal bias.

    Unnecessary. Should keep one’s personal dislikes out of an important threat tittle.

    The US actions of FONOP is inexplicable for its almost complete lack of sense. What exactly was the purpose and what was the use of putting out an aggressive press release. It's true that this has been done this in the past but its timing and the fact that there was a press release issued...

    Why does the deepening Indo-US friendship puzzle so many? Not only has the foreign policy elite been unduly suspicious of the US, it has also misjudged India’s agency in shaping the relationship. Written by C. Raja Mohan | March 9, 2021 3:00:12 am India’s expanding partnership with the US is...

    It may well be the case that people with supposed links to BJP-RSS have been kept out but one look at this piece and other similar yesterday clearly points to a planted story. No point giving credence to the usual anti-Modi/BJP press.

    Except that she is the VP and essentially has zero say. Part of the conditions for her joining the team was to say and do nothing outside what the Biden playbook was, essentially be the VP that Biden was to Obama. Even her official staff is vetted by the Biden team and she couldn’t even bring in...

    Again if India has refused, the fault lies not with the Americans. The quad as of now, I agree, is still a work in progress with final result not being clear. However, post China’s behaviour the last summer, we must utilise every leverage we can find and the quad is one of them. The quad and the...

    You have to ask the obvious question, for what purpose? Aid isn’t given freely, Pakistan must offer something in return and they have very little to give and being owned by China reduces the attraction for the US. Sure the US will try and stop Pakistan from going completely over to China’s side...

    Not for lack of trying by the Americans, it was MMS and Congress who were reluctant partners. Obama and Modi hit it off fine. To sacrifice the quad, the US would have to have a reason. Quad isn’t only about India, two top US allies in Australia and Japan are there in it. The quad was a Japanese...

    Biden has made no such move. His nomination for secretary of defence is saying the usual stuff at confirmation hearings, do you expect him to condemn Pakistan even before he takes office? Everyone on Biden’s foreign policy and defence team, including Gen Austin has made their point clear on...
