The suicide rate in the college age range is around 6-10/100k per year . If there are are 500k Indian students in North America , the statistically expected numbers are 30-50 suicides a year or almost 1 a week . Is there evidence to suggest the rate is higher ? What should GOI do here ? The context...

GoI had earlier displayed lack of sensitivity for students traveling to Canada. The ex-High Commissioner (get rid of this stupid Commonwealth lingo) Sanjay Kumar Verma, after being asked to leave Canada, had told PTI, “ At one point of time in my tenure, at least two bodies of students were being se...

India could never have agreed to give Trump any credit for anything to do with Pakistan. Imagine what would have happened if India did give credit and Trump got the big prize. It would put a lid on Indian responses to any further escalations. It is basically a carte blanche to Pakistan to continue w...

The frequency of Trump's assertions regarding the India Pak conflict are inversely proportional to his assessment of the chances of helping to resolve the Russia Ukraine war where his contributions are at least acknowledged by both parties.

If this problem with the US had started in 2014 and I hope it did, we would probably have our own jet engines by now. Why do we need a kick to realize reality and our own national interests? A kick?

Any discussion with the US on access to our agriculture sector should be ended with an assertion that the impact on India of what US is asking for would be the equivalent to the impact on US if India seeks to open up the US labour market without any constraints.

One of the things to understand about India-US relations and how much US values its relationship with India is that US still does not have an Ambassador for India after 6 months of the TanTrump administration.

Trump's latest salvo has multiple reasons - Beat up India to hide his TACO on China from the world. Use this as an example with Brazil and South Africa.

Imagine Pakistan getting some Fattah missiles from Iran, instead of the cheap Chinese stuff.

If Iran has got these from Russia in turn, there are probably some checks in place.
