Cold war

Strategic Survival

India’s energy policy is often described in the language of “security”. That framing is comforting ~ and misleading.

New World Order

The nuclear arms race and Cold War, begun during the closing stages of World War II, gradually petered down with SALT (Strategic Arms Limitation Talks) I and II agreements of 1972 and 1979 between the US and USSR.

A line drawn in blood

The 2,640-km-long Durand Line is more than just a frontier. It is a century-old scar on the map of South Asia - a scar that has bled into three Anglo-Afghan wars, the Cold War, the Taliban’s rise, and today’s great power rivalries. For the Afghan Pashtun, this line is not history.

Time for a reset in ties with Canada

The relationship between India and Canada has been marked by periods of highs and lows, influenced by factors such as the Cold War, nuclear non-proliferation issues, and trade disputes.

Cosmic Rivalry

The sudden exclusion of Chinese nationals from America’s National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is more than an administrative directive.

Cost of battle

The two combatants in the European conflict recorded significant increases, Russia spending 9.2 per cent more for overall expenditure of about $86.4 billion while Ukraine saw a 640 per cent jump in spending to put away a whopping 34 per cent of its national budget on military needs

A critical moment for the world we live in

Without being alarmist, one must take note of the fact that the possibility of a third world war has been more discussed this year – 2022 - than any previous year since 1945.
