Why India is Clueless about China
'A prosperous, militarily strong China cannot but be a threat to its neighbours, especially if there are no constraints on the exercise of Chinese power.'

Embarrassing revelations on the deal
'The Bush administration, through a gag order on its written responses to Congressional questions, had sought to keep the Indian public in the dark on the larger implications of the nuclear deal, lest the accord run into rougher weather. But now its 26 pages of written answers have been publicly released by a senior US Congressman.'

Let Pakistan not set the agenda!
'It is testament to the timidity of the Indian State that Pakistan is able to up the ante through ridiculous demands and then cast India as the obstructionist.' | | | |

Why India can't back off now
'India cannot indefinitely stay stuck in a position in which it can neither wage war nor pursue peace. To put a halt to Pakistan's undeclared war, India will have to stay the present course, even if means open war.' | | | |

Pakistan's uncertain future
'After being a major power broker and then an imperial power in Afghanistan, Pakistan today stands completely isolated. Such is its isolation, with no Afghan faction wanting to be associated with it, that Pakistan has become a political liability.' | | | |

How Musharraf outwitted India
'The events since 1999 have shown that, instead of getting out of the Pakistan trap, India is intent on getting deeper into the Pakistan trap. The Pakistan trap has slowed, if not obstructed, India's rise as a global power.'

Supping with a rogue general
'Vajpayee's call to the rogue general to walk the "high road with us" insults the memory of brave Indian soldiers who laid down their lives in evicting the Pakistani invaders.'

The Bush Advantage
'India is right to take a supportive view of George Bush's missile-defence plan. US missile defences will not threaten India's security but could yield potential benefits. The action-reaction cycle triggered by missile defences is likely to drive India closer to the United States.'

An irreparably damaged PM
'Vajpayee will find it difficult to break free from his troubles. His government was not elected to pursue political standards of the Congress and Laloo Yadav type. It was elected to provide good and clean governance.'

Setting Agni on Li Peng's tail
'If India wanted, it could have waited for Li's flight to take off for Beijing before firing the missile. But obviously it wanted to convey a message -- India is determined to build a credible minimal nuclear deterrent.'

Clinton's parting gift to Asia
'China's assertive efforts to alter Asia's balance of power in its favour, including through missiles, can only be countered by the United States. Yet, as he leaves office, Clinton has again shown his weakness for the Beijing dictators.'
