In hindsight, Mr. Sumeer Bhasin’s analysis of shifting alignments in the Middle East (West Asia) reads as particularly relevant in the current geopolitical context, especially for India’s strategic interests in the region.
As he notes, “The turbulence of the Gulf is no longer peripheral to Indian foreign policy, it is central.”
The article examines how developments around Chabahar, Afghanistan, and the emerging China - Pakistan axis have reshaped India’s regional calculus.

@sabeer How come most US Tech Billionaires are drop outs? Some of the most iconic US tech billionaires who dropped out of higher education incl. Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg ,Steve Education is over rated that is why it produces one trick ponies like you, success requires vision & grit.
@Ram_Guha@SushantSin In a world facing fragmentation, India’s role is not just to rise, but to lead through values and vision. This requires more than economic growth or military strength; it demands intellectual sovereig...

@sabeer It is a relic of the colonial Raj. If a few are inconvenienced, it is a small price for the larger national interest. You yourself stated in your own tweet 👇
@sabeer@apsp1958 Tell that to survivors of wars and struggle, or to those preparing for the conflicts and hardships of the future. The world is shaped by hard realities, not utopian fantasies. Peace is preserved thru strength, preparedness, resilience, & a clear-eyed understanding of human nature
BREAKING: After the negotiations failed, a source close to Iran's Ghalibaf assesses the war will resume in "the coming hours," with the US expected to conduct "harsh strategic strikes" on Iranian energy and possibly nuclear infrastructure. The Pakistani Army Chief also cancelled his Tehran trip tonight.
Iran has stated it would respond by firing hundreds of missiles per day at Gulf energy infrastructure, including water desalination plants, and targeting US bases in the countries that facilitated the attack.
@DanQayyum https://t.co/Mfwyf1xh3f Pakistan’s feudal-fauji-fanatic power structure has long sustained its dominance over the state, economy & national psyche. Is Pakistan prepared to fundamentally abandon the strategic paradigms that contributed to regional instability in the first place ?
@DanQayyum Dialogue with Pakistan will only work if there is genuine willingness to abandon its anti-India doctrine & manufactured perception of India as an existential threat, a narrative that has long sustained Pakistan’s feudal-fauji-fanatic power structure & its role as a rentier state
@DanQayyum US used Pak as a messenger of last resort, while Pak runs with the hare and hunts with the hounds. Pak holds no leverage or stature unlike India with its largest democracy 4th largest economy leader of the Global South and a multi vectored foreign policy & the land of the Mahatma
@Kaushik_0603@NewsAlgebraIND How is it symbolic ? When we have oil stored on our shores with emergency access without any upfront costs. On the other hand Pakistan is passing messages between Iranian’s & Trump thru Kushner while being stuck & finding excuses to escape Saudi Def pact which means fighting Iran
@LtGenDPPandey@business Director of National Intelligence while presenting to US Senate Intelligence committee explicitly designated Pakistan as a significant national security threat to the United States. Post 9/11 Pak openly supported Taliban fighting U.S. & Afg soldiers in Afghanistan from 2002-2021.
@ethrelkeld I totally agree @ People to People level there is a deep historic civilisational connection, but we should keep in mind the stark difference in the influence and power of the people in the largest democracy & a deep fanatic feudal security state running a sham democracy.
