Sanjaya Baru writes: Too much government in G20 – people matter tooSubscriber Only
September 07, 2023 07:07 IST
President Xi's decision is regrettable but it is not in India's interest to allow this snub to either overshadow the relationship or narrow India's strategic options. As ancient civilisational entities and neighbours, both nations have to think long-term and not become trapped in strategic straitjackets that western textbooks offer

June 24, 2023 17:44 IST
The US-India relationship will be increasingly evaluated in Dollar terms, with a weakening and an erosion of the cement of values. This suits the Modi government well

G-20 presidency is an opportunity to position India as the voice of the Global SouthSubscriber Only
September 29, 2022 04:14 IST
The Indian elite and foreign policy commentariat, influenced heavily by Western thinking on world affairs, have acquired an exaggerated view of Indian global influence, hitching their wagons to the West rather than stay the course with the South. A return to the basics, placing the developing world's developmental concerns at the heart of global discourse should be the way forward

Indian ‘atmanirbharta’ in space and pharmaceuticals is an exception. It must be the normSubscriber Only
March 03, 2021 03:22 IST

World wants India to do well. But compulsions of domestic politics are leading to revival of Cold War bogeySubscriber Only
February 09, 2021 03:05 IST

PM Modi quoting Gurajada to reach out to people during covid vaccine rollout is a hopeful gestureSubscriber Only
January 19, 2021 04:03 IST
If it encourages his so-called bhakts and the more rabid members of the Sangh Parivar to read the likes of a Gurajada and appreciate their modernising, humanising patriotism and socially progressive views then Modi would have greatly contributed to the cause of national unity.

Overseas Indians cheer government’s agenda for India’s atmanirbharta, without investing in itSubscriber Only
December 30, 2020 03:30 IST
There is now an emerging category of Indians migrating out and opting to stay out of India because they feel their motherland no longer wants them. This sense of alienation, especially among minorities, is a disturbing trend.

November 05, 2020 03:30 IST
Countries that turn to the US today, like India, seeking help to check a hegemonic China do so out of compulsion, not choice. Trump’s transactionalism abroad and racism at home have robbed the US of a higher moral purpose in its global role.

Destroying Bollywood’s credibility for partisan-political purposes harms national interestSubscriber Only
September 29, 2020 04:05 IST
While cleaning Bollywood of black money and bad influence is a worthy endeavour, the pursuit of political agendas that stifle free expression in the name of nationalism and puritanism, can rob popular culture of its soft power.

Why must India get worked up about declining opportunities for cash, brain drain?Subscriber Only
July 17, 2020 03:26 IST
Sanjaya Baru writes: It would be interesting to see how many of those who attended Modi's rallies abroad have decided to return home to contribute to India's “atmanirbharata”.

April 21, 2020 00:36 IST
