Who will inherit the soul of Hamas?
Saeed Naqvi
01 December 2012
Hamas is in a state of schizophrenia. If it is to be a resistance movement, it needs military help from Iran. But this route distances it, for the time being atleast, from Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood whose ideological child Hamas essentially is.
 
Obama 2.0: Who will crash the party?
Samir Saran and Dr. John C. Hulsman*
01 December 2012
If the first term of President Obama is any indication, U.S. foreign policy will to continue to develop in a cautious, limited, pragmatic, yet largely reactive manner. There will be few American efforts to order the new multipolar world, or respond proactively to much of anything.
 
India's future role in Afghanistan severely limited
Aryaman Bhatnagar
30 November 2012
India's ability to advance its agenda in Afghanistan is severely limited, given the absence of an alternative security arrangement, tense relations with neighboring countries and the future uncertainties in both Afghanistan and the region.
 
FDI in retail unlikely to benefit small farmers
Jayshree Sengupta
30 November 2012
FDA in retail is not the reform that can change the face of Indian agriculture as the problems of small farmers and their vicious cycle of poverty have to end through state action and not by big foreign retailers.
 
Maldives: Externalising internal problems?
N Sathiya Moorthy
30 November 2012
Whatever the justification or motive, the Maldivian Government's decision to unilaterally cancel the construction-cum-concession contract with Indian infrastructure major GMR Group has one unhealthy trend for the islands-nation to cope with through the coming years.

Monish Tourangbam
28 November 2012
Strengthening of America's relationship with India is vital for America's role in Asia and for India's regional and global aspirations.
 
Beijing-Delhi Express
C. Raja Mohan
26 November 2012
While Delhi must necessarily exclude Beijing's presence in a small set of areas on national security considerations, it must actively facilitate Chinese participation in the rest. The railways are a good place to start welcoming what could be consequential Chinese contribution to India's industrial and technological rejuvenation.
 
The cost for staying on; price for leaving
Vikram Sood
26 November 2012
There is nothing clear and in black and white in Afghanistan. Should things go wrong in Kabul and political fortunes swing, one could see a reversal to the ethnic and regional warlord days and chaos. This in turn could mean a strengthening of the Taliban hold in the Pushtun belt.
 
Deconstructing the Asian dragon's inexorable rise
Vivan Sharan and Saurabh Johri
26 November 2012
Comparisons between India and China are often stretched, with unrealistic parallels drawn between Mumbai and Shanghai. This is done without acknowledgment that in the context of a noisy, increasingly federalist democracy such as India comparisons with China are increasingly aspirational.
 
Let technology and society dance together
R. Swaminathan
23 November 2012
India spends over Rs 400,000 crores every year on schemes, projects and programmes broadly falling within the category of social welfare. Embedding appropriate technology in social welfare programmes can give poor Indians a real chance of empowerment.
