13 March 2021 This is the Ides of March or is it something far more overwhelmingly compelling? President Biden had a full fledged Quad Bloc Anti China coalition meeting before his top diplomat went to Alaska to meet with his Chinese counterpart. Loaded dice? Or is this a tear that was darned double quick so […]
11 March 2021 In what can be called a flurry of long overdue diplomacy and policy intent, we can see India, China and USA talk as if by turn or tandem about the issues that engage them. It is really surprising that when the Chinese PLA presence in Ladakh still continues in sectors other than […]
