Harsh V Pant and Angad Singh Brar The grand convergence at the Apulia G7 Summit in Italy between the western democracies and the Global South was facilitated by the G7’s sensitivity to the systemic risks it faces from the Russia-China…
A ‘double-engine sarkar’ is something the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has been promising while seeking votes during all the assembly election campaigns. One engine at centre and another at the state, meaning the same party ruling in both places, would mean better progress than the states where the state governments are ruled by other parties than the BJP.
India’s upward trajectory and quest to be a ‘rule-maker and shaper’ make it well placed to craft and promote its principled foreign policy while reiterating that ’this is not an era of war’ and dialogue and diplomacy can only lead to peace

Neither Naidu nor Nitish Kumar has said anything about the lynching of two cattle transporters who were moving buffaloes in a truck in Chhattisgarh. Nor have they said anything in public against the arrest of chief ministers or the misuse of central agencies. They are not going out of their way to meet the liberal aspirations that stand thwarted by Modi getting the chance to run the country for another term.
