India's foreign policy has come a long way since 1950-62 when the Kerala communist VK Krishna Menon rejected the advice of Army Chief KS Thimayya that China would attack, and instead forced him to resign. FM demolished him in Parliament. His statue in Delhi must be demolished.

India, US signed bilateral space situational awareness arrangement: Lloyd Austin

"I'm pleased to announce that just a few moments ago, we signed a bilateral space situational awareness arrangement, and this will support greater information sharing and cooperation in space, Austin told reporters at the conclusion of the 2+2 ministerial. We're also deepening our cooperation in cyberspace, including through training and exercises later this year. And we're expanding our information sharing partnership across all warfighting domains, he said.


The two countries, he said have important commitments today that will drive technological innovation and cooperation in emerging defence domains, including space and cyberspace. For example, we're committed to launching new defence space exchanges later this year between our Space Command and India's Defence Space Agency, he said.

We recently concluded an agreement to work together on air-launched unmanned aerial vehicles through our Defence Technology and Trade Initiative. And today we agreed to launch new supply chain cooperation measures that will let us more swiftly support each other's priority defence requirements, he said.

Brass tacks: it’s a majoritarian white, Christian bloc harking back to a supremacist past to preserve and enforce hegemony. Societies generally mean revert to tribalism, so issues arise when the West hypocritically opposes Han ethnonationalism, Hindu nationalism and pan-Slavism.

if one hears EU president's speech in the context of above tweet, her speech sounds deceptive.

Academic hegemony has since time immemorial been a paramount vehicle for the exercise of political and socioeconomic power within borders and internationally. The more we have such formats the better for us.
That is a thing bhai , British colonialism is also part of it.

I hope our journalists are asking questions on how lies are being propagated and freedom of expression has been taken away in the Russia Ukraine war.
The way sanctions has been applied is also completely against rules based order.
Someone should also correct her that Democracy was practiced in India much before Europe.

The less expected from our journalists the better. Indians in general don't have the habit of putting guests in a tough spot, unlike the culture-less muricans and europeans.

#WATCH | When rules-based order was under challenge in Asia, the advice we got from Europe is- do more trade. At least we are not giving you that advice... We should find a way of returning to diplomacy& dialogue: EAM Dr S Jaishankar about India's stand on #RussiaUkraine conflict https://t.co/Zf6c2cTAkV


When he is talking about Afghanistan is he hinting that there was a back channel agreement that Taliban ll take over Afghanistan .. Weapons were also left to be used there .. I remember India was kept out of talks by both USA , Russia .. Pakistan , qatar played pivotal role in this scheme .

to elaborate on the "culture-less" part of the above statement, Raisina dialogue is a premier foreign policy engagement event in India created and funded by supposedly "Hindu nationalist" government, and yet Bangladeshis fellowship candidates and their minister were given a free platform to express their views without putting them on the spot in public for islamist attacks on hindus in their country over the past two years.

if a similar event were to happen in U.S, by now many enthusiastic muricans would have used ambush tactics to preach about religious tolerance and human rights as they have done in the past, inspite of obvious hypocrisies in their own policies and actions . that's the difference.

power and "responsible power" are two different things.
