This is becoming comical. Those who file such petitions should be fined for being frivolous and seeking to waste Supreme Court’s time. This is a sensitive foreign policy issue with many dimensions, past and future. Israel is a major defence partner. There is no UN ban on supply

No Islamic state that has established diplomatic ties with Israel has broken them. Most of them are very anti- Hamas. Islamic states are not accepting Palestinian refugees. Some presumably minor transactions with Israel by some Indian companies, details of which are not known,

I was listening to Putin. He made it amply clear that the starting point is the virtually finalised text of a potential agreement with Ukraine at Istanbul till it was sabotaged by Johnson. He was not talking about mediation as such but countries like China, India and Brazil

Nonsense. India was supporting a friendly govt in BD. It had no reason to interfere in BD’s internal politics. If BNP boycotted the elections it was an internal political battle in which India had no role. The interim govt has to build its reputation in India and not be seen as

2/2. China, which relentlessly claims a long history, is actually a remarkably new place. Almost all the buildings, including the temples, were constructed in the 21st century. China is somehow both a super aging society and a modernist landscape devoid of historical depth.

FT doing a hatchet job for its masters. India doesn’t consider western export controls on Russia as international law. Russia has accumulated huge rupee holdings in India. India wants to build its defence manufacturing base. Supply of components to US accounts for India’s

Why is this false distinction being made? Curious. Will he oppose many things the BJP is doing not as leader of the opposition but as a private individual? Whatever he says will be taken as views of the leader of the opposition no matter how his visit is billed. Are his private

What a cynical cover up! Immoral too. Violence against Hindus is justified because they voted for the Awami League. Communal killing is wrong but political killing is merited? What chicanery!

Gokul Sahni Mr Muhammad Yunus is ignorant: 🇧🇩 had demanded over years from 🇮🇳 that we extradite Niazi and many others held as 🇵🇰PoWs so they could be tried for war crimes. 🇮🇳 declined.

An atheist materialistic CCP cynically claiming attachment to Buddhism. Look what they have done to Tibetan Buddhism. They revile the Dalai Lama. Unabashed state propaganda.

Those in India who were applauding Modi’s visit to Ukraine as India disentangling itself from Russia and moving to a more genuinely neutral position on the Ukraine conflict should take note.

This was indeed a reprehensible incident which deserves condemnation but to generalise it such as to give the impression that young men are slapping and kicking old men across the country suggests that the seeming outrage is politically, not morally, motivated. Seen as a good

Great snub.UK universities now hotbeds of anti-Indian politics. Continuing UK’s Kashmir policy from time they pushed Nehru to approach UN and made petitioner India into a defendant.Islamic lobby is now very active in UK. Oxford Union president is of that ilk.

Loose talk. He should choose his words carefully. He wants “ India” to come out the narrative. Is he suggesting this is the Indian government’s official line? What is his basis of saying this? He has met the Indian HC. Modi and Jaishankar have made public statements. We have made

Is this serious? Hosting a reception to celebrate a Supreme Court judgment on Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code. Doesn’t the High Commission have more important bilateral developments to celebrate?

Irresponsible amd inexperienced. He is boxing himself and a future government in a position from which it will become very difficult to walk away.
