ONLY reason why I stopped caring about IPL.
1. Takes ARs out of equation.
2. No tactics and strategy needed in crunch matches.
3. India Team's transition into T20Is will suffer from recklessness.
4. Auction and selection does not matter.
5. Takes all the fun from fantasy cricket.

More the reason why Indian policymakers should start addressing legacy chips dependence on China.

In back of the minds, Indian strategists must start thinking of a world where China doesn't remain the driving force. In case of China-West detente or a weak China, they would strike us hard bcz we are a non-Western democracy that isn't under their diversity quota.

The sun shines brightest in San Francisco. Time for my first ISA Annual Convention. :)

Cannot agree more! Sometimes I feel that we Indians think we matter more in international politics than we actually do. Our capabilities are improving for sure, but there's a long way to go.

Today's reality is 27-17-3.7.
A 3.7 cannot behave like 17 and 27.

Good food for thought.

...and the transformation of AAP into a dynastic family party is complete. 🥲

An economic nightmare! The very reading of this manifesto sends shivers down my spine.
Q. How do you oppose the government when they promise to deliver a $5 trillion GDP by 2027-28?
A. You draw a plan to bankrupt the country.

Please pass a notification that people without prior industry experience or a STEM degree would not be allowed to come anywhere near India's strategic technology sectors. 🙏🙏🙏

Great Power Politics with 'Bharatiya' Characteristics.

Always for RCB!
