See my comments on Queen Elizabeth and her devotion to duty, democracy, the rule of law, and the Commonwealth WION but I am glad the US and India are republics.

#Modi has stood up to Putin telling him this is not an era of war and citing democracy, diplomacy and dialogue as the way forward. There remains the question of what India and the US should do to match these words. My take on this subject is at nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%…

Hooray! The Democrats retain control of the US Senate. Democracy was on the ballot and in most cases democracy won. Citizens of the world’s two largest democracies must continue the struggle for democracy at home and around the world.

"With election season commencing soon, the window for making big reforms may close-at a time when investors are hungry for options," Director Richard Rossow argues for supply chain focus in #Budget2023. #BudgetwithCSIS rama lakshmi Full in ThePrintIndia>theprint.in/opinion/use-mo…

2023 should be the year for India's international leadership at the #G20India , SCO, the Quad and elsewhere. Challenge is to lead globally on political/security matters as well economic/developmental challenges . thediplomat.com/2023/01/2023-s…

Happy Republic Day! 2023 should be India’s year!

Not something you see everyday—an India-NATO dialogue! Also, while the report claims the discussion will be centered on China and the Indo-Pacific, I don’t see how Russia-Ukraine won’t come up. And it should. livemint.com/economy/india-…

#India and the US should be allies in waging peace with China. See my take on this sundayguardianlive.com/opinion/india-…

The US is literally burning up from climate change caused by fossil fuels while the US tries to decide between fossil fuel promoter Trump and transition to renewables activist Biden. Why is this not a paramount issue?

Today is the 55th anniversary of America landing a man on the moon. All of us who watched the landing can remember our pride in this feat. Begun under a Democratic President and completed under a Republican the landing was accomplished by a democracy. Democracy is the way.

And so overt fascism begins in the United States. First the owner of the Los Angeles Times and now the owner of the Washington Post stepping in to prevent endorsements of Kamala Harris.

Democracy does not just die in darkness. Sometimes it dies in broad daylight as men of power fail to stand up against would be dictator Trump.

#Trump failed the test of leadership in his response to the pandemic. Remember “like the flu,” fake remedies, no need for masks?

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you is at the heart of Christianity. Why do so many Christians support Donald J. Trump who advocates and does the opposite?

Manmohan Singh was a selfless servant in the best tradition of India. His leadership on the US-India civil nuclear deal was courageous and exemplary.
