  • Increasing Interference in India’s Internal Matters

    Ambassador Anil Trigunayat and I had a fee and open conversation on how there is increasing interference from outside on India’s internal matters. Most of the countries which comment on India’s internal affairs do so from the prism of their circumstances. They often do not understand India. More importantly they do not understand that India…

  • Busting Chinese Myths

    There are too many myths about China. They make China look 10 feet tall. These need to be understood and busted. The QnA session was pretty extensive and good. More Chinese are coming on the Channel. Interesting to see their ideas. Most of them seem fixated on China’s manufacturing capacity!

    Will Xi take China to war is a million dollar question which is conditioned by many factors. Mr Sree Iyer and I discussed the factors involved in detail. For the present it does not appear as if Xi Jinping will indulge in a war by ‘Design’. At least for the present. Going to war by…

  • A Perspective on Tibet

    China never had a border with India prior to 1950. Tibet was always a free country. it is time to re-evaluate the entire Tibet issue. This is my perspective on Tibet and Arunachal Pradesh. If you like it, ask your friends to also see it.

  • REVISIONIST CHINA : DENIAL, DECLINE & DANGER

    There is a new found revisionism in China along with the new mantra- New Productive Forces. Xi’s high tech solution to resurrect China’s economy hinges on exporting cheap Chinese goods . It means that importing nations will have to face dumping and eventual wrecking of their manufacturing sector which they are trying to increase in…
