My column on Pakistan’s partial resurgence in world politics.

theprint.in/opinion/paki...
Pakistan is getting new friends. Conflicts with India will only grow
Pakistan is likely to enjoy closeness with the US, China and Saudi Arabia. This is different from its relative isolation of recent years.

China will be more central to India now. Though an anti-US unity is premature
Even with the option of EU markets, China will have to be a significant part of India’s economic policy. But the difficult security relationship is an important complication.

India’s export basket has no irreplaceables. It's a vulnerability in Trump's power politics
Tariffs have been used in the past by countries like Japan and South, to promote or hinder industrialisation. The surprise in Trump’s tariff argument is two-fold.

Indian foreign policy is in free fall. Can we balance national pride with new power reality?
Unless dramatic reversals take place, the core of India’s foreign policy, which, at least since 2000, has focused on the US, Pakistan, China, and Russia, stands on the verge of collapse.

My Column on the rise of Zohran Mamdani.

theprint.in/opinion/mean...
The meaning of Zohran Mamdani: Globalisation failed to lift all boats
At a deeper level, both Left and Right populism are linked to globalisation, the world’s greatest economic force between 1980-2010.

#CSKdeafeatIPL| I am afraid an IPL team whose biggest stars are 35 plus cannot win the championship. CSK badly need younger players.

Returned from a week in Delhi and Mumbai | My impressionistic view, unsupported thus far by systematic surveys, is that India’s business community is feeling economic low, and its intellectuals are feeling unsure about where India is headed | It will be good to get survey data |

#IPL2025 | Though it is too early to form clear judgments, it is noteworthy that the three leading teams as of now have never won the IPL: Bangalore, Punjab and Delhi | Awesome display of talent, as always | IPL, you are a cricketing treat |
