Thankfully I never believed there ever existed a sizeable demographics of Liberals in India unlike US. We just have a political elite that feel proud abt fancying on borrowed theoretical concepts from west, nt understanding them. They are people with ideology and no principles.
The ease with which pretentiousness and hypocrisy of so-called ‘Indian liberalism’ is exposed each time has been the greatest gift of social media. If not for Twitter, these ghouls would’ve been able to put wool in front of our eyes just like they’ve been doing for decades.

He said EU ignored what was happening in Asia in the last decade and focused only on economic trade with China. EU only woke up about China when it saw Russia getting support from China after Ukraine Invasion.
Minister Jaishankar uses this line about “China happened before Ukraine”, but what is India’s ask of Europe re: China? India didn’t sanction China. It banned a few apps. Is there some punishment of China that India wanted? Some aid to defend itself it was denied?

I hope people realise, India is a democracy unlike China( so we shouldn’t always bring comparison with China analogy at the drop of a hat) and one person doesn’t represent the will of UP rest alone whole of India. Extrapolating this does no good, nor giving undue attention.
Some people really seem to want to turn India into their idealized version of China. One nation, one language etc

As I said earlier labelling or discrediting other journalists will be used by people in power irrespective of political ideology. Unfortunately many journalists still use such label not thinking how this may be used against them in future.
The complainant in the case was a Congress worker who referred to the journalist as “godi media”
The screenshot is from his complaint recorded in the FIR filed at Raipur’s Civil Lines police station on 2 March (number 133/2022)

Never thought being anti-feminist can be a election rally. South korea is really showing disturbing signs in opposition to women’s rights. But women’s are pushing hard too, shout out to all women standing against these mens.
South Korea is reckoning with a new type of political correctness enforced by angry young men who bristle at any forces they see as undermining opportunity — and feminists, in their minds, are enemy No. 1.

It amuses me that scholars even relate providing basic security with nationalism.
6) The nature of Indian nationalism - and tendency to reach for grievance - means that “light-touch” will now be seen as specifically anti-India rather than a generic policy up for debate.

The current govt in Delhi is the most pro-west in the history of India (although there other factors too for closer relations). It’s not about small things, but principles that dictates this relation, which is ‘India will not compromise its interests’ with anyone China or west.
If this derails India-US cooperation on China then it was never going to work anyway, and India will be facing much bigger, tougher problems than Trudeau and Canada alone (i.e. Xi Jinping and the PRC)

That’s not the definition of great powers.
-India does not have command exclusive influence in its region.
-Indian military strength is relatively very less if compared to US and China.
-India’s economic heft is still less and regional Integration is lowest globally.
If you call a NATO country a terror haven, stare down CCP, buy as much Russian oil as you want, water down Western points for G20 statement, bankrupt Pakistan, are a nuclear/space power and world's largest polity, soon 3rd largest GDP: you already are a great power. More to come.

With rising hate now in western countries against Indian-American and Asians at large, often it’s hard to differentiate between non-citizens & citizens. Surely the targets are motivated not by nationality but race, and religion, but identity as an Indian becomes a common factor.
Very important point. And western countries rarely have large enough diaspora in other countries where they are at risk of facing racial bigotry or violence. So Asian responses to such incidents might be confusing where citizenship and ethnicity intersect.

Seriously? People shouldn’t call themselves as Indo-Pacific expert if they thought that India was part of Quad to defend South China Sea. India’s immediate concern was and will be Indian Ocean Region. People need to read more about Quad and India.
India will only go so far in helping Quad to counter China in the South China Sea. New Delhi is more focused on its own neighborhood. Hence, US now has an alternate Quad—privately called “Squad”—that will do it. Squad replaces India with the Philippines.

The current govt in Punjab cracking down of Amritpal is a non-BJP govt(AAP), and the earlier one was also a Non-BJP(INC), so to say that this is a reaction to hindutva is a false assumption. It’s just they find an opportunity nw to expand & many countries are helping it to grow.
The problem with expecting Western countries to take a firmer stance on Khalistani sentiment is that this agitation is now being driven in reaction to Hindutva. The BJP can't light a flame with one hand and ask for a hose with the other.

I have been living in India for more than 20 years and still I can’t generalize on any thing about this country without any extensive research.
Having been in India the last two years, I’m rather disillusioned. Indians have a tendency (a fairly human tendency) to want to only hear sugarcoated “good news” - even though India is currently going through the most problematic era since the 1930s. Not sure where this will end.

Next time the US accuses Huawei and ZTE of working on behest of CCP , China would have lot of material and concrete examples to quote regarding the weaponisation of trade by the west. This must send alarms among Indian policy making echelons.
I think the current crisis should also insert dose of realism in proponents of stronger no-holds-barred India-US/West partnership. Although it’s a necessity to counter China, allowing them to gain disproportionate foothold in your economy can be devastating as is evident now.

Lake Chad region is such an important part of the climate debate, we can’t just miss. Most answers to current problems goes through this region!
Today,
#COP26
begins. I am looking forward to issue of recharging
#LakeChad
be taken into consideration. The shrinking of this Lake is not just affecting one country but many countries including Nigeria. Hence, this calls for global action in this conference.

If India has to remind the world (which is restricted to west for many) that it is not China, it speaks more about them than India. A common understanding of India will make people realise this stark difference.
June 4th is a particularly interesting day for Indian voters to remind the world that India is not China.

Indeed, India’s 🇮🇳 main focus is Indian Ocean. But that does not mean India isn’t interested in SCS. India will be doing Maritime exercise AIME-23 for the first time in SCS with ASEAN from 7-8 May. Singapore 🇸🇬 is co-hosting these exercise with India.
Yep this makes sense! With India, Quad’s maritime focus makes more sense in the Indian Ocean. With Philippines, a U.S.-Aus-Japan-Phil arrangement lines up more naturally with a SCS focus. Though I’ll believe the South Korea bit when I see it!

Indeed,
@sayantan_h
and I had also identified this as a challenge for Indian Foreign Policy in the region for
@orfonline
’s special report on “A decade of Modi’s Foreign Policy”
Dr Jacob makes a provocative argument for India to bring in extra-regional partners to counter Chinese incursions in South Asia in the domain of security, development, and green transition.
