Re: Challenge of China_ Political, Economic & Military Responses

China has completely stopped exporting specialty fertilisers to India. This has been happening for the past two months, even though there is no official announcement or formal ban from Chinese authorities .... Between June and December every year, India imports around 150,000 to 160,000 tonnes of t...

Re: Terroristan - March 31, 2022

Why do India press now call Asim Munir by his new rank? Wouldn’t be better to address him as Army Chief Asim Munir without an additional ‘rank qualifier’? That would be a better way to keep reminding him that he did not earn his rank. A bunker baby does not deserve a promo.

Re: Operation Sindoor - Post Conflict Analysis

It looks like internal saboteurs played a key role in the Israeli plot launching drones against Iranian sites. It does not take much to smuggle them into India and we have “willing-youtubers” to help adversaries for the right price. Something for Indian security to watch out for the next Pahalgam.
