    U.S. narrative won’t survive defeat in Donbass

    Originally published: Indian Punchline on April 23, 2022 (more by Indian Punchline)

    An extraordinary thing about British diplomacy is that it continually looks for ways to stay ahead of the curve and provide added value to its customer across the Atlantic, the United States. That makes the remarks on Ukraine conflict by the UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson at his press conference in New Delhi on Friday highly significant.

    Originally published: Indian Punchline on April 21, 2022 (more by Indian Punchline)

    Highly sensitive materials from the Ukrainian biological laboratories were exported to the U.S. in early February just before the Russian special operation began, and the rest were ordered to be destroyed lest they fell into Russian hands. But the cover-up was only partially successful. Indeed, Russia is in possession of highly incriminating evidence.

    Originally published: Indian Punchline on March 23, 2022 (more by Indian Punchline)

    An extraordinary week has passed for the Modi government’s dalliance with the Quad. Call it a defining moment, a turning point or even an inflection point—it has elements of all three.

    India should quit Quad now!

    Originally published: Indian Punchline on March 14, 2022 (more by Indian Punchline)

    This is a moment of truth, therefore, as the U.S. unsheathes the sword to bleed and dismember Russia, and gives an ultimatum to China to stay out of it.

    India, China in Europe’s crisis

    Originally published: Indian Punchline on February 21, 2022 (more by Indian Punchline)

    The key elements conform to a principled stance—and a balanced one. India’s stance so far has been one of a ‘standoffish’ attitude that basically absolves Delhi of the need to take a position on which its key ally the United States and the time-tested Russian friend have locked horns.

    U.S. reminds India it’s showtime

    Originally published: Indian Punchline on January 30, 2022 (more by Indian Punchline)

    The Biden-Harris Administration is sensing that Modi Govt, a perceived ally, is not to be seen as its war machine revs up in anticipation of a horrific war. Typically, if a country is not with the U.S., then, it must be against it. But India falls in a category by itself.

    This must be a rare page in American diplomatic history that a US Secretary of State has been literally off his rocker. Antony Blinken’s outbursts on the events in Kazakhstan were not only boorish but also illogical.

    A Sino-Russian military alliance is gratuitous (as of now)

    Originally published: Indian Punchline on December 16, 2021 (more by Indian Punchline)
