In my column for Hindustan Times, I argue that RSS general secretary Dattatreya Hosabale's statement on maintaining a "window for dialogue" with Pakistan is sound.

However, the civilisational packaging that India & Pakistan have been “one nation” will not work in diplomacy.

[CSDR @CSDR_India]

In the first report on this subject, @LtGenHooda & Lt Col Pavithran Rajan deconstructed the Socio-Technical-Cognitive Battlespace (STCB) of modern warfare.
🔗https://t.co/dipK2edVnb

The authors explored the complexities inherent in modern operations, in which perceived success and strategic victory are increasingly decoupled from purely kinetic achievements.

[CSDR @CSDR_India]

🚨🚨NEW REPORT🚨🚨

India has adopted Multi-Domain Operations (MDO) as a doctrine. In our latest report, @LtGenHooda & Lt Col Pavithran Rajan argue that MDO only works if you own the networks, data, and infrastructure it runs on. India mostly does not.
The answer is not to drop MDO but to make control of that substrate a national priority, built before a crisis rather than during one.

Will ‘strategic stability’ lead to the end of the #USA’s containment of #China?

Is the #TradeWar between the USA and China going to continue?

How has the war on #Iran altered the relative global standing of the USA and China?

Could the USA reduce or stop weapons sales to #Taiwan and abandon it to a Chinese takeover?

What is the fate of #Quad and the #IndoPacific if the USA is disinterested in counterbalancing China?

How can #India and other regional powers in #Asia manage the China challenge amidst an unpredictable and unreliable USA?

For answers, watch Episode 173 of my TV show on #Doordarshan, featuring a discussion with Dr. Happymon Jacob, Editor of ‘India’s World’ magazine and founder of the Council for Strategic and Defense Research (CSDR).
