India’s median age of 28 matches China’s median age nearly 30 years ago. A large chunk of China’s industrialization happened while it aged from 28 then to 41 today. Much of this was in the quasi-analog era. By 2050, its median age would be anywhere between 53-57. India’s would be

Sabeer Ji, I, like most logical and fair-minded Indians, welcome objective critiques of our economy because constructive criticism is essential for growth. But what many of us find disappointing is your persistent doomsaying, especially at a time when India has just become the

Opinion | Turkey: Why Nobody Trusts It, But Everyone Deals With It - "Turkey's diplomacy has a “bazaari” (market) element to it; it is bargain-oriented." By Kanwal Sibal ndtv.com/opinion/turkey…

The F117 fell upside down near the village of Budanovci. Parts of the wreckage can be seen today at the Serbian Museum of Aviation in Belgrade. The pilot who bailed out barely escaped capture. The US had to acknowledge the loss. The Serbian unit that downed the F117 claimed

Not much substance in the State Dept readout. Only US priorities are mentioned. No mention of technology, investment etc. From being described as a defining partnership for the 21st century, the relationship is now being described as a “key partnership” in the 21st century.

Let’s not exaggerate this hyphenation. Only because US intervened to avoid escalation of the conflict doesn’t mean hyphenation. Is it the argument that US amd others will do with India what they do with Pakistan by way of technology, investment, trade, defence, tri- service

Objective? Have carefully read Clary’s piece. Stimson Centre has long been negative on India. Was fiercely opposed to India’s nuclear programme. I dealt with the think tank when I was posted in Washington. The list of persons Clary has consulted is at the end of his piece. Most

Kanwal Sibal I’ve had a personal experience of their bias against India. After the successful presidency of the G20, they had emailed me to write on India’s contributions. To be fair, they offered me remuneration for my intellectual labour and time. When I submitted the draft, they asked me

Sriparna Pathak Kanwal Sibal This has happened to me too. A prominent US university wrote to me to write about 'religious freedom' in India and offered to pay good money for it. But when the feedback to the first draft came, it was clear that all they wanted was only a long list of things that went wrong. I

Never Trust Pakistan. As DGMO I dealt with Pak army. My experience during Operation Vijay (Kargil) showed they are liars of the highest order. Pak is an army without honour. #OperationSindoor is an absolute Game Changer. PMO India called out Pak nuke bluff: Gen NC Vij, fmr COAS.

Bloomberg is very negative about India. Why give an interview to an anti- Indian platform? The purpose of this interview was to pin down our CDS on loss of our aircraft so that the focus and narrative remains on Pakistan’s “success” and not that of India in hitting at the

What is the point in giving interviews to western news agencies like Reuters which as a matter of policy give a negative slant to news about India.? The reports of these agencies are distributed world wide and help to spread negative narratives against us much more than

An acknowledgement would have only confirmed the narrative in favour of Pak and Chinese weaponry and against the Rafale. This serves to give ammunition to political opposition in India. Pak Def Min ridiculed himself by saying the proof of Indian aircraft loss was available in

Has Pakistan admitted its actual losses as a result of the damage caused by Indian strikes on air bases for which India has provided visual proof? Is Pakistani Field Marshal not a soldier? Should he not admit the losses as a soldier ? Why is the focus of the international
