The rising hostilities in Pak- Saudi relations.

In the contemporary geopolitics, it has become an open secret that Pakistan is not a trustworthy partner to sustain a stable and strategic relationship, with most of the countries. But it's most important partner in the Islamic world, The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, has become highly sceptical of Pakistan's establishment in the recent past. Pakistan's economy is in shambles, as its military industrial complex, through its heightened corruption and nepotism is adding fuel to the crisis that is already getting out of control. Currently Pakistan is managing to sustain its bare minimum necessaries through the IMF bailout package, that has sized and thaken over the control of its central bank operations, functioning and management.  But intrestingly all these decades Pakistan had an reliable, strategic and religious ally Saudi Arabia, by it's side, and it was providing financial political and military support quite unequivocally. It's not the case anymore. Pakistan's re...

INDIA’S GROWING STRATEGIC ROLE IN THE G20

The recently concluded G20 summit at Rome has proven to be a testimony of a rapidly changing world order. The traditional European powers of the 20 th century have taken a backseat reeling under economic recession, political instabilities and an added burden of the COVID-19 pandemic crisis. The case with USA, Brazil, Australia and other western countries are also simmering in a state of strategic ambiguity. In this scenario, India has emerged as a significant player, capable of shaping the future course of action in international affairs. By achieving a fair amount of success in managing the first wave of COVID-19, and by registering a formidable success of the COVID vaccination program by inoculating more than 1 billion doses of vaccine, India has reached a glorious milestone, towards which a majority of the countries in the world have failed to reach. India’s economic growth is also picking up after a deep slump caused by the pandemic. The IMF and World Bank have also predicted a ...

India's Foreign Policy considerations towards Afghanistan; An overview

Taliban's seizure of Kabul on Sunday ( August 15) officially established the supremacy of the Taliban as a towering national power in Afghanistan. From now on the republic of Afghanistan's nomenclature will be declared as an Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA). The past experience of India with the Taliban is of heightened terrorism and a serious national security threat. India's strategic community and institutional memory of the Kashmir Jihad in the 1990s, bomb blasts and terror attacks across the country have left the deep scars of conflict trauma, in which the Pakistani deep state and elements of Taliban were directly involved. But 20 years down the line, the situation, circumstances and conflict dynamics in Afghan-Taliban have significantly changed. Their geopolitical, military and diplomatic manoeuvring has become quite refined and sophisticated at the outset. However rudimentary and primitive their internal affairs might be, their effects and impact on international...

History and Politics of India's Partition; Tracing the genesis of communal antagonism.

The People of India at large, in their collective conscience, have forgotten the history and significant events that unfolded in the making of the modern Indian Republic. They have forgotten the communal travesties caused by the partition, unleashed by the forces fighting for the establishment of an Islamic state. The CAA legislation is a delayed justice to a historical genocide that broke the cultural and civilizational unity of Bharat and amputated it into an acronym called Pakistan. Their Gazwa e hind doctrine and the deep state have a sole purpose, which is to destroy India!!  and thereby the venerable Sanathana Dharmic civilization in total. If one needs to understand this destructive Pakistani-Islamist phenomenon, knowing the broad outline of the origins of two-nation theory, history and travesty of the partition of India, and the ideological foundations of the first modern Islamic state, "The Islamic Republic of Pakistan" is a must. History and politics of partiti...

Citizenship Amendment Act; The argumentative conundrum

The recently passed citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) of 2019 has been in headlines giving scope for a public debate, often turning controversial without entering into the underlaid nuances, legal, moral and civilizational issues, which have to be addressed. This act is not about underlaying a Hindu- Muslim communal divide or neither is it about outrightly denying anyone citizenship based on a religious basis. Also, it's interlinked with the recently conducted NRC( National Register of Citizenship) process in Assam, which is brawling with several lacunes in the process and structural lapses.  But questions are being raised about the liberal-secular values of India, the constitutional validity and the justiciability with the basic structure doctrine of the constitution. Critical historical factors of the partition of India and its aftermath, followed by the Bangaladesh liberation war of 1971 and the Assam Accord of 1985 are under the scanner of the commentariat and opinion-makers. ...

Pakistani deep state and the illusion of peace.

I was listening to Arif Mohammed Khan, in one of his speeches, where he reveals the conversation between Mosses and Allah, which are mentioned in the Hadiz,( one of the holy books of Islam ). In it,  Mosses said to Allah, " Oh Allah, when you become agonized with our people, capture everything from us, but leave our brains( intellect) alone. Allah replied, "No! When  I  get agonized, the first thing that I take away from people, are their brains, rest falls apart and collapses on its own". Perhaps the problem with the acromanial territory of Pakistan, which unfortunately became a nation-state in 1947, has lost the power of critical and rational thinking. ( A Hadiz revealed previously, has come true). If we turn back, to the dark pages of history, and read the tragic story of partition and it's origins, all that a normal and a sensitive person would get is a handful of tears, or probably, into traumatization. Because the doctrinal basis of the creation of Pakistan ...
