Professor of International Relations at Griffith University, India’s foreign policy, Indo-Pacific stuff, snakes when I find one. Usual caveats.
Behold the sharp wit and subtle banter of debate in the Mother of Parliaments!

Very hard to imagine that a major Indian paper would have published a picture like this under Trump 1.0.

If I could turn back time
If I could find a way
I'd take back those words that have hurt you and you'd stay

I’m not sure what they have put in the water at DFAT recently, but whatever they have done has stimulated the writing of a lot of new diplomatic memoirs. Looking forward to reading this one from Lachlan Strahan…all 550-odd pages!

Depressing to see that Indian communities in Australia are now being targeted with these phone scams, which have long been a problem for Chinese communities, including international students. This message has been posted on the Indian High Commission's website.
