  • Dragons and Elephants : Has India defeated the American Eagle?

    When Trump's 50% tariffs shattered India's American dream, Modi boarded a plane to Beijing, his first in seven years. In Tianjin's grand halls, the ghost of Nehru's idealism met Xi Jinping's calculated pragmatism, as history's cruelest irony unfolded.
    On August 30, 2025, as Prime Minister Narendra Modi's aircraft descended toward Tianjin's red-carpeted runway, three of the world's most potent symbols converged in geopolitical theatre. The elephant of India, wounded by the eagle's unexpected talons, was seeking shelter under the dragon's ancient wings.

  • The Gaza war continues,

    and the world is still waiting nervously for what might happen if the truce between Iran and Israel fails. It would be good for those who are distressed by the events in Gaza and the Middle East to know that the US was the main architect of the new world order that would soon be celebrating its eight decades of existence.
    The world order dreamt by US President Roosevelt and British Prime Minister Churchill was meant to be without another war, respecting state sovereignty based on international laws, the Peace of Westphalian (1648), and the Kellogg-Briand Pact (proposed by US Secretary of State Frank Kellogg and French Prime Minister Aristide Briand in 1927).
    This article unpacks the current world of disorder and dives into the historical facts, beginning with the League and continuing until now. The one who created the idea of peace is now at war to destroy it. But all is not gone yet. Collective consensus can still resuscitate what was dreamt. —  Major General AK (Dr) Bardalai, Retired.
