Image
 Muslim "suffering" in Gaza, Myanmar, and India was brought up by Ayatollah Khamenei of Iran. India denounced on 16 th September  the remarks made by Iran's top leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, about the country's minorities. “We strongly deplore the comments made regarding minorities in India by the Supreme Leader of Iran. These are misinformed and unacceptable. Countries commenting on minorities are advised to look at their own record before making any observations about others,” the Ministry of External Affairs said.  Khamenei called for international cooperation among community members by bringing up the "struggles" of Muslims in Gaza, India, and Myanmar. The Iranian president has previously spoken out on minorities in India. He had responded to the Narendra Modi administration's intention to repeal Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir in 2019. “We’re concerned about Muslims’ situation in #Kashmir. We have good relations with India, but we expect t...

Lord Ganesh’s Wisdom in Shaping India’s Global Diplomacy

Image
 There are other nations where people worship Lord Ganesha besides India. Other religions have also included Lord Ganesha in their cultures, particularly Buddhism in China, Tibet, Japan, and Southeast Asia. Many cultures throughout Asia honor Ganesha for his beneficence, his aptitude for problem-solving, his cosmic might, his affluence, and his success. The following list of nations, outside India, includes several that have made Lord Ganesha a part of their religious beliefs and customs. Lord Ganesh is a representation of several virtues, including intelligence, humility, wisdom, knowledge, and ultimate might. We revere him because we believe that he is the one who removes all impediments. What lessons can we draw from him is the question. Even while the festival is observed with much fervor and intensity, do we actually try to understand the lessons the deity is attempting to impart to us? As an international relations student, I'm attempting to ascertain how Lord Ganesh and dip...

Drone Strikes in Manipur: India’s New Security Challenge

Image
 In Manipur on Sunday 1 st September, there were two confirmed deaths and nine injuries in what is believed to be the first documented case of terrorists in India using weaponized drones to target civilians. Monday saw additional attacks in response to the drones’ dropping bombs on civilian areas. Three India Reserve Battalion bunkers in Meikhang village, Imphal East district, were destroyed. The conflict has taken an unsettling turn with the introduction of these drones. These drones have been weaponized, and they can operate from 500 meters to 15 kilometers away. The threat is made more complex by the fact that they are capable of carrying a variety of explosives, such as mortar bombs and hand grenades, and that they have rotor systems that enable them to hover and take pictures. State DGP Rajiv Singh observed the attack's uniqueness: "This (drone attack) is a new thing." Experts such as the National Security Guards (NSG) are in contact with us. In order to devise ...

US Diplomats "Tour Arround the Country": Is Something Cooking Behind?

Image
 A three-member delegation of US diplomats visited Srinagar on 26th August ahead of the Assembly elections in the Union Territory after a gap of 10 years. "The visit is well within the boundaries of diplomatic outreach mechanism of the US State Department," a senior government official told. According to the official, the visits are not unusual as similar visits with diplomats were common in the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir. "They get a chance to make on-ground assessments," he said. We would like to know why Mr. Omar Abdulla and the US delegates met before the Jammu and Kashmir elections. What intentions do they have? The US delegate met with the leaders of Janta Dal United and Shri Chandrababu Naidu and visited Jammu & Kashmir. If we pay great attention, there is definitely something cooking behind the visits. Their goals are different. The Bangladeshi government of Sheikh Haseena had already been overthrown by the US. The US and the "Deep Sta...

All Eyes On PM Modi's Visit to Ukraine..

Image
  The world is eagerly awaiting Russia and Ukraine's crisis to be resolved. It has been a while, and both sides are still experiencing losses and harm to people. They are struggling economically, so they are looking for someone to take the lead in bringing about peace in the area. India now has a role to play, and it is right to seize this chance to expand its horizons. NATO members are fully aware that Russia will not listen to calls for a ceasefire from China, Turkey, or any other nation. Ukraine, on the other hand, will follow suit. Another reality is that the US and NATO will continue to wage war despite the economic downturn because they wish to sell Ukraine their defense supplies. Ukraine must pay for all of the defense assistance it currently receives, today or tomorrow. This is the double game that the US and NATO are playing. India is a close friend of Russia, as both the Ukraine and friendly allies are aware. Russia is capable of reaching the stage when it and India c...

PM Modi in Ukraine: Diplomacy in Action

Image
 On Wednesday, Modi paid tribute to the leaders of Nawanagar and Kolhapur, two former princely territories that provided refuge to over 6,000 Polish women and children during World War 2. Additionally, he paid respects at the Monument to the Battle of Monte Cassino, which honors the 1944 campaign to seize an abbey perched on a mountaintop close to Rome. This combat claimed the lives of hundreds of Indian soldiers fighting for the British Army.   After completing his engagements in Poland on Thursday, Modi will travel by road and rail to reach Ukraine the following day. Modi said his trip to Kyiv will be a “natural continuation of extensive contacts” between the two sides and lay the foundation for “stronger and more vibrant relations”. Modi and Zelenskyy met on the margins of the last two G7 Summits in Japan and Italy, and have spoken several times on the phone since Russia launched its invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. PM Modi’s visit is seen as the strong voice of ...
