For all the talks about Dragon-Elephant Tango, China should never be trusted. I write my latest on how it is trying to sabotage India’s manufacturing story.

India has many a time ended up hurting its own interests by buying the Chinese fiction of joint development or shared prosperity. This time as well, China is leaving no stone unturned in sabotaging...

Saudi defence pact couldn’t save the Pakistanis from Afghans, a force 10% their size and “Indian” experts are day-dreaming that it will help them against India 🤡
A new defense pact between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia alters Islamabad’s strategic standing in the region—and it fundamentally complicates India’s policy in its backyard, writes @SushantSin.

Pakistan essentially invested in the CIA-backed Taliban project to have a strategic asset against India. Imagine your own creation schooling you against your enemy. Modi’s diplomacy peaked here 🤌
Control your terror groups, Afghan FM Amir Khan Muttaqi tells Pakistan during Delhi presser

Indian Islamists regularly use the word “Jihad”, hardly see that being highlighted but Taliban using that word is being highlighted deliberately. We know why right?
Muttaqi says the flag is the flag of Jihad, and that Taliban government now controls the Embassy in Delhi "100%". (This is not factually true. Staff here still allied to Republic and flag outside today of the Republic.)

Current govt has started courting Taliban because of its great strategic value for India’s national interest and the liberals have suddenly started circulating this old video saying Taliban is barbarian :)

Afghanistan stopped operations against Pakistan after Saudi Arabia’s request for restraint. Seems this is what the monkeys got from Saudis in the name of defence pact— Mediation 🫢

After failing to ignite real GenZ protests, anarchists at Indian National Congress @INCIndia are hiring rap artists to artificially create a mahaul. There were similar trends in Nepal, Bangladesh and Ladakh as well…

Pakistani soldiers running for their lives after Taliban’s retaliatory strike. Every inch of red carpet that India laid out for Muttaqi is paying off and how 🤌

People retweeting my old tweets bashing Taliban, please don’t because I am not ashamed. Tomorrow I may even back China because for me National Interest comes first 🫰

Medical student gang-raped in West Bengal. Feminists outraging over Taliban Presser would condemn this or this is not part of job-brief?

Someone needs to tell Milan and his economically illiterate friend Ashley Tellis who peddles delusional word salad from his fact-free fantasy world in the name of his invincible masters.
Quite frankly it is embarrassing for @CarnegieEndow @CarnegieSAsia to run such basic Econ 101 errors. I had already flagged it in Tellis’ previous columns. You cannot extrapolate based on real growth and market exchange GDP over a generation - there is something called real

Women journalists hating on Taliban or targeting Modi govt for exclusion from presser are all Lalu Yadav and Akhilesh Yadav fangirls. Some shades of misogyny are so rustic and cute to them 😍 #JustSaying

Nehruvian legacy of a moralistic foreign policy has made the opposition blind to country’s national interests. Thank god we have a dispensation for whom Nehru is not a Hero.
You do not become a geopolitical power with moral purity. You become a geopolitical power when you pursue brutal self-interests. Moral purity is for internal politics and your own citizenry. The best example of that is the USA. Internally, they hold a very high standard. But when
