If you don't like Indian/South Asian food, just say so--it's okay! It's not everyone's cup of masala chai. But saying that a cuisine that is one of the most flavorful and complex in the world is all made with *one* spice is ignorant, lazy, and prejudiced.

In my latest article,I argue #Pakistan's commingling of nuclear assets with conventional forces injects ambiguity & raises chances of miscalculation at sea especially at a time when #India & #Pakistan doesn't have official naval nuclear dialogues #Babur3.
