Sangharsh sushant sareen I believe IG’s record on pluralism is superior to NM’s for the following reasons: 1. Ideology: Congress did not have an anti-Muslim orientation. 2. Representation: Look at the cabinet. Look at Parliament. No question that Muslims had a greater share of power in IG’s time. To

This was supposed to have been India’s big China +1 opportunity. It didn’t happen.

I don’t like to dunk on Rajdeep, but the fact that he needs to proclaim that “the Raj is long gone!” in 2025 is kind of pathetic. At what point will Indians be able to get over this chip on their collective shoulder and treat England like just another country, albeit one with

Modi fans in my comments are arguing that the last 11 years have been great for Indian Muslims, or at any rate better than before. Well, if that’s the case, then how come no Muslims seem to think so? Are they all magically blind to their own great good fortune under Hindutva?

Akshay A Do you think the following are legitimate concerns for Indian Muslims in 2025: 1. Lack of representation in government, including zero representation in the cabinet for the first time since independence in 1947. 2. A rash of state-level laws that either implicitly or explicitly

Sreemoy Talukdar There is no “blame” assigned in my post. As I see it, all you have is two countries that were unable to get to a deal that worked for them both. By definition, each side in a trade negotiation thinks its own demands are perfectly reasonable and the other side’s are not. In this

This may seem hard to believe, given everything that has gone down in the last three months, but when Trump was elected last year the prospects for stronger U.S.-India relations had never looked brighter. Compared to Clinton, Bush, Obama, Trump 1.0 and Biden, the current Trump

With the U.S.-India trade spat sucking up all the oxygen in the room, nobody will pay attention to this remarkable example of bilateral cooperation. NASA and the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) just launched a sophisticated radar “capable of studying changes in land and

What kind of impact do you think Trump’s statements will have on U.S.-India relations?

Rahul Gandhi is the opposite of a natural politician. He unerringly manages to figure out the stupidest thing to say at the worst possible moment.

Nobody can doubt that Trump has taken a wrecking ball to 25 years of American diplomacy in India. The only question worth debating is the extent of the damage to U.S.-India relations and what it will take to repair them.
