11 April 2021This is obviously the more sense of deja vu that any observer of the IOR can lay claim to, a US Fleet vessel of the notorious 7th ( notorious from the subcontinental subconsciousness of 1971) when the flag bearer vessel is announcing https://www.c7f.navy.mil/Media/News/Display/Article/2563538/7th-fleet-conducts-freedom-of-navigation-operation/ its presence to India.Indian social media has responded to the […]
03 April 2021 If you can put partisan politics aside for a moment, then you can actually look at the Burns-Rahul virtual tête-à-tête as perhaps the biggest conversation India and the US had in recent times, which was done in the public domain.It was a very adult conversation, one where the seasoned diplomat was engaging […]
