Against the backdrop of an ongoing border standoff with China that’s over 3 years old, India has “no option but to commence a dialogue with China, simply because you don’t have the luxury of being separated by oceans and continents,” says former Foreign Secretary Vijay Gokhale.

The other Quad partners have also entered into talks with China and having a dialogue per se doesn’t mean you concede ground, the former diplomat told StratNews Global Editor-in-Chief Nitin A. Gokhale on ‘The Gist’.

A few days ago, the NITI Aayog shared a sneak peek of the vision document for India @2047. The big headline was the target of $30 trillion set by the institution for the country’s economy - which means growing the economy nearly 10X from the present level of $3.4 trillion.
Can India pull this off? Remember that global circumstances are extremely inclement given rapidly deteriorating geopolitics and a battered global economy. Further, who will India do this? What will it entail?

The diplomatic boycott by some nations of the Winter  Olympics being held in Beijing has once again drawn world attention towards human rights abuses of Uyghur Muslims in Xinjiang. And religion does play a role, ironically in a so-called atheist state. The Chinese  Communist Party sees religions as competitors, says James Millward,  Professor of Intersocietal History at the Walsh School of Foreign  Service, Georgetown University. They're really trying to displace or de-centre religion for those people for whom it might be a central aspect of their lives; they want to replace that with the Chinese  Communist Party as a focus of faith and belief, he told StratNews Global in this podcast.

The recent US commando raid, which led to the killing of ISIS chief Abu Ibrahim al-Hashimi al-Qurayshi in Syria, has left many counter-terrorism experts downplaying the operation and warning that his death will not prevent the resurgence of the group. Already, ISIS is expanding its base in both Iraq and Syria. However, Dr Adil Rasheed, Research Fellow and Coordinator of Counter-Terrorism Center, Manohar Parrikar Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses (MP-IDSA) points out that the US operation should be seen as an encouraging sign by the international community. Dr Rasheed argues that with Washington’s focus on Ukraine and China, and its withdrawal from West Asia and Afghanistan, perceptions had grown that the US was no longer interested in battling the war against terror. This operation, he argues, has dispelled such notions and restored faith amongst the US’s allies. Such an attitude should be welcomed especially as ISIS continues to expand its footprint into East and West Africa while also making a base for itself in the Af-Pak region.
