23 October 2022 When things look inevitable, they often are. Collective wishing away from vested corners does not cancel the march of the drumbeats of history. The events of even two years ago could not have envisaged such a smooth extension of President Xi Jinping of China beyond the stipulated two term limit set by […]

#Ukraine: The Return of Drones!
18 October 2022 If one thought that the day of the Bayraktar TB2 which had won the war decisively in favour of Armenia in Nagorno Karabhakh in 2020, was over as witnessed in the first six months of the Special Military Operations (SMO) in Ukraine, now the Iranian origin and not Turkish Drones are flavour […]
11 October 2022 Aphorism of Terror: To sow an IED you need just a pinch of fertiliser and a fertile mind! For weeks we have been offered a narrative of Russia withdrawing from key cities and towns all along the front of the newly declared ‘annexed provinces’ that consisted of Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, Donetsk and Luhansk […]
6 October 2022 The death of Amini at the hands of the Iranian Moral Police set off a wave of protests in Iran. There have been waves of these protests even before Amini, when Iran was seemingly about to throw off the yoke of reductionist conservatism that passes off in the name of its Islamic […]

This is apparent from how the Russians have reacted to both […]
26 September 2022 Historians are always aware of how important information is, to shaping of morale and managing logistics of war.

14 September 2022 You could sense this as a deja vu kind of feel, like in 2013 the Chinese withdrew from Gorgra Hotsprings PP15 under a mutual agreement with the Indian Army and the Indian PM flies to a Summit. It shows on one hand how Indian Diplomacy has been consistent in how it extracted […]
12 September 2022 On 9/11 America suffered the worst strategic blow to her CNP when the Twin Towers were brought down by a pair of American aeroplanes rammed on to them by Saudi led hijacking teams inspired by Osama Bin Laden 21 years ago. It is one year and ten days since the Americans withdrew […]
