"Every year that we treat our neighbourhood as secondary to our global interests, every time we lose it to an external player," says @ashokkkantha on why India's neighbourhood is central to its strategic interests.

भोपाल में आयोजित पहले 'लोकमंथन' में उनकी ज़बरदस्त और जादुई मौजूदगी और प्रस्तुति को याद करते हुए, मैं उन्हें अश्रुपूरित श्रद्धांजलि अर्पित करता हूँ।

India's Pakistan policy warrants review — not for a reset, but for sober management of a fraught relationship: keeping dialogue open, adding new instruments of dissuasion, & breaking out of 'expectation trap' of military response to every terrorist outrage https://t.co/XYUNSuOTMk

[India in China @EOIBeijing]

At the invitation of Beijing Foreign Studies University (BFSU), Ambassador @VDoraiswami met the students and witnessed their impressive achievements in learning Indian languages, including Tamil, Hindi, Bengali, and Sanskrit. He was also briefed on instruction in Pali, Punjabi, and Urdu, including during his meeting with University President Jia Wenjian, who spoke about BFSU’s capabilities in more than 100 foreign languages.

My article in @frontline_india argues US strategic unpredictability, more confident China in bilateral dealings and potential for G2 overlay necessitate a clear-eyed and quiet strategy by India to address material vulnerabilities and capability gaps. https://t.co/Gbc9cxOsjg

My conversation with @Smita_Sharma on Trump’s visit to China and his talks with Xi. @ChanakyaUni @ics_delhi @CSDR_India @vifindia

[Sriparna Pathak @Sriparnapathak]

In this insightful conversation on The Long View with @Nishit_Harvard, of @ChanakyaUni, I speak on India’s evolving maritime vision - from SAGAR (Security and Growth for All in the Region, 2015) to MAHASAGAR (Mutual and Holistic Advancement for Security Across the Regions, 2025).
SAGAR is not a rigid doctrine or white paper, but an overarching, flexible vision and diplomatic instrument. It positions India as a net security provider in the Indian Ocean Region through capacity-building, HADR missions, maritime domain awareness, economic partnerships, and collective action, always prioritizing sustainability and regional ownership.
India responds first in crises (Sri Lanka 2022 & 2025, COVID vaccines, cyclones), gifts fishing nets, builds schools, and extends transparent lines of credit - which are never extractive.

MAHASAGAR expands this globally, rooted in mutual growth and Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam.

Grateful for the discussion.

China’s “dragon–elephant” metaphor is photogenic PR, not a policy fix. My Substack explains why India’s silence is strategic — outcomes, not slogans, should set the agenda. The Dragon Wants a Dance. The Elephant Stays Seated. https://t.co/anMD2IKyIS

My Substack post argues India must move beyond being mere consumer of foreign foundational models & vendor of AI applications to building its own sovereign AI stack—lest we lose digital sovereignty as privileged tenants in someone else’s digital empire https://t.co/yDKMESIRWN

[Chanakya University @ChanakyaUni]

Chair Prof @ashokkkantha externally built & controlled data & models, AI risks embedding those worldviews into domestic systems, narrowing India’s cognitive & technological autonomy.

Who Dares Wins !
I take great pride in announcing the release of my Memoir- “Who Dares Wins”. It’s about giving back to the Nation that shaped me, by sharing the values of discipline, integrity, and service that guided my life. It’s my way of saying, “If I could do it, so can you.” It is also to honour the sacrifices made by my battalion, 13 JAK RIF, and lessons learned along the way, preserving these experiences as a legacy to inspire future generations !
Pre order here..
