I'm glad to share that my commentary titled "India’s Evolving Maritime Vision: From SAGAR to MAHASAGAR" has been published by the Kalinga Institute of Indo-Pacific Studies. Do give it a read.
From SAGAR to MAHASAGAR, India is expanding its maritime vision beyond regional security toward wider strategic influence across the Indo-Pacific and Global South.

“At 40, Franz Kafka (1883-1924), who never married and had no children, was walking through a park one day in Berlin when he met a girl who was crying because she had lost her favourite doll. She and Kafka searched for the doll unsuccessfully.
Kafka told her to meet him there the next day and they would come back to look for her.
The next day, when they had not yet found the doll, Kafka gave the girl a letter "written" by the doll saying "please don't cry. I took a trip to see the world. I will write to you about my adventures."
Thus began a story which continued until the end of Kafka's life.
During their meetings, Kafka read the letters of the doll carefully written with adventures and conversations that the girl found adorable.
Finally, Kafka brought back the doll (he bought one) that had returned to Berlin.
"It doesn't look like my doll at all," said the girl.
Kafka handed her another letter in which the doll wrote: "my travels have changed me." The little girl hugged the new doll and brought the doll with her to her happy home.
A year later Kafka died.
Many years later, the now-adult girl found a letter inside the doll. In the tiny letter signed by Kafka it was written:
"Everything you love will probably be lost, but in the end, love will return in another way."
Embrace change.
It's inevitable.
It can be painful.
But it can be changed or as Kafka would say “metamorphosed” from pain into wonder and love.
It is up to us to think of the ways to consciously make that happen.
Keep creating connections.”
~ My college senior sent me this and I’m so glad we share that connection.
