Bangladesh's Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has resigned and fled out of the country after a massive student uprising led to her iron rule coming to an abrupt end. An interim government under Nobel Laureate Mohammad Yunus has taken over amidst continued violence especially against the minorities including the Hindus. What transpired in the weeks and months before the ouster and what happens next? How should India respond now?

On December 9, around 300 PLA soldiers tried to transgress into Indian territory by crossing the Line of Actual Control (LAC) and were met by 50 brave Indian soldiers who physically stopped them from doing so. In the ensuing brawl, the outnumbered Indian soldiers were successful in not only stopping the PLA soldiers on their tracks, but also chase them back into their territory.

This episode delves into this event with whatever little information is available in public domain and tries to analyse the Chinese psyche and the Indian response.

From China to Pakistan, from the United States to Russia, India is facing tremendous challenges in engaging with global powers during these troubled times. Under the erudite MEA S Jaishankar, New Delhi has been able to not only put forth its position on varied issues, but also winning praise for its unbiased stand.

As the Ukraine War continues in Europe, India's immediate neighbourhood is facing economic crises. The economic crisis in Pakistan has now led to a political crisis eventually leading to the replacement of Imran Khan with Shahbaz Sharif. In Sri Lanka, the Gotabaya Rajapaksa administration finds itself cornered unable to manage the economy and is on the verge of defaulting its payment of international debts.

It has been two weeks since Russia ordered a "special military operation" into Ukraine with a stated goal of demilitarisation and deNazification of Ukraine. With US and other NATO powers refusing to send their weapons or soldiers, Ukraine is alone in defending itself.
