In my latest for CSDR, I look at the SHANTI Act Rules and Regulations and underscore the unresolved constraints that either stem from the Rules or remain unanswered, which could affect the very purpose of the Act.

In this long piece for INDIA'S WORLD magazine, I make a case for ‘De-Americanising’ India’s Grand Strategy.
The Indo-US relationship may have thrived in the 2000s, but it was built on the back of a decade of threats, pressure and bullying.
India's most consequential relationship in the last quarter century was the by-product of a shared anxiety about a third party.
For nearly a quarter of a century, our grand strategy has been shaped by its convergence with Washington. As a result, our grand strategic questions once appeared to answer themselves and rather effortlessly.
Now we must go and find them, and this ensures that our relationship rests on choice rather than dependence.
This is how grand strategies are made. Or remade.

My CASI blog post offers an intellectual history account of Minoo Masani's liberal internationalist thought in the early Cold War, including his perception of the communist threat, misreading of the Sino-Soviet rift, and reaction to the Sino-US rapprochement.

Archives indeed make the best place for juicy gossip and information!!
My latest blog covere the anti-communist associational politics of Jayaprakash Narayan & Minoo Masani in the early Cold War India. Archival research shows that the ICCF housed idealist thinkers, faced leftist suspicions & shaped public discourse on Hungary (1956) & Tibet (1959).

A sharp new paper from @ProfHarshVPant & @sanjeet38 on the grand strategy conceptual debate and its relevance for India. The 'Classical Plus' approach - security goals, mixed means - is a neat contribution. Added to my syllabus. orfonline.org/research/a-pro…

What does a foreign policy magazine put on a tote bag?
One has a duck with its coffee, "lowkey hegemonic" in its own words.
Another picks Kautilya over Kissinger.
A third insists that in an age of chemistry, hugs & Melody toffees, diplomacy is intimate.

Since the 1970s, the definitional variety reflects the lack of scholarly agreement on the concept of grand strategy. The grand strategy definitional divide, particularly, ranges from the acceptable parameters of the ends pursued to the means used: @ProfHarshVPant & @sanjeet38 or-f.org/38966

Rooted in the Manganiyar tradition of Rajasthan, Manganiyar music moves seamlessly from Sufi kalaam to Krishna bhajans and Shiva songs, dissolving the boundaries of faith and history and reminding listeners that plurality has long been a lived, shared inheritance.
Read the full article by @Irtikay on how the Manganiyars reveal a cultural grammar resisting the fractures of the present.

Araghchi says pretty much the same 😐
For four years, the West tried to squeeze Russia’s oil revenues through sanctions. The theory behind sanctions was that if the oil revenues are cut off Putin’s war machinery would be weakened. India was particularly targeted by American officials/pundits for buying Russian oil — they said, “India is funding Putin’s war”.
Putin’s war is still on. But suddenly everyone wants to buy Putin’s oil. The U.S. has already lifted some sanctions. And this time, Europe doesn’t have any issues either. If the #Iranwar prolongs, looks like even Merz would go ask Putin to ramp up supplies.
