Why India and the US are not on the same page at sea. Lessons from l'affaire Lakshadweep. I write for @the_hindu
"The China-Pakistan military nexus is real. So too are the risks of overstating it." My op-ed in @TheHindu thehindu.com/opinion/op-ed/…
Opinion | However serious China–Pakistan nexus may appear, Indian planners ought to avoid turning prudent concern into simplistic formulations, writes Abhijit Singh trib.al/CvocZdF
"A transactional Trump wouldn’t be wasting time courting an Islamist yokel like Munir unless he wanted something significant from him." Bluntly put, but true. indiatoday.in/opinion/story/…
"India risks undermining the idea of cooperative regionalism it has sought to promote if it begins using trade access to signal political displeasure." My piece in @TheHindu thehindu.com/opinion/op-ed/…

"Nobody ever really wins the war of narratives. Each side tells its own story — shaped by perceived triumphs, real or imagined — and believes in the glory of its own version." My piece in @IndianExpress last week. indianexpress.com/article/opinio…
#Opinion | A cargo ship capsizing off the Kerala coast has spotlighted India’s regulatory complacency about maritime traffic Read more about it: hindustantimes.com/opinion/troubl… @abhijit227 ✍️ | #HTPremium
A capsized cargo ship with hazardous cargo has pushed Kerala's coast to the brink of an environment disaster - exposing glaring gaps in India's maritime governance. My piece @Httweets hindustantimes.com/opinion/troubl…
Rethinking China-Pakistan military collusion and the prospect of a "reinforced one-front war." My essay in @TheHindu.
Boeing selling "faulty" planes to Air India is a scandal. A decade ago, a quality manager warned about the shoddy construction of Boeing 787 Dreamliners, and made a list of 11 such bad aircraft. Six of them were reportedly sold to Air India.
'She asked a boss [at Boeing Charleston] if he would let his children fly on a Dreamliner with the litany of flaws and non-conformances...“Cindy, none of these planes are staying in America, they’re all going overseas,” he retorted, much to her horror.' prospect.org/economy/2025-0…
"India's uneasy balancing act in the Bay of Bengal". My op-ed in @TheHindu
India’s coastal "blind spot." How a capsized ship with a flag of convenience and hazardous cargo has triggered a reckoning in maritime regulation. My op-ed @htTweets
I wish there was a credible news source on the Pakistan-India crises. Media on both sides are jingoistic disinformation factories.
To All You Who Sleep Tonight, a special thanks to India’s Armed Forces who risked lives in the line of duty to help an anguished and angry nation have a moment of catharsis and justice. For them the night is still long . Jai Hind 🙏🏾🇮🇳 #OperationSindoor
