The Century of Humiliation Has an Invoice

In the autumn of 1839, Commissioner Lin Zexu sat in Canton and wrote a letter to Queen Victoria. It was a patient, precise document, a moral appeal from one civilisation to another.

The Paralysis Dressed as Pragmatism: India's Strategic Drift in 2026

Amandeep Midha has written a critique of India’s fiscal policy and has skilfully entwined it with the country’s foreign policy. He accomplishes this even though the length of the article is such that it almost feels like two essays in one. Yet, it never bores the reader for a moment. The piece also asks an uncomfortable but necessary question: are we paralysed, or merely pretending to be pragmatic? Read on and grapple with the issues raised by him.

Architecture of Collapse: Dubai and the End of the Constraint Economy

Wars often have some unintended consequences. The diminished status of Dubai is one of those outcomes of recent Iran-US conflict in West Asia. 

क्या विश्व अभी अभी एक आणविक युद्ध देखने से बच गया है?

अभी कुछ घंटे पहले ही अमेरिका और ईरान दोनों ने अलग-अलग घोषणाओं में युद्ध-विराम स्वीकार कर लिया है. दोनों ने अपनी शर्तें एक दूसरे से अलग दोहराईं हैं लेकिन माना जा सकता है कि यह वुद्ध विराम अब सभी पक्षों को कुछ समय देगा और आने वाले दिनों में सभी पक्ष स्थाई शांति का रास्ता खोजेंगे. 

The Bones that do not break: How Civilisation-states Endure

In yet another powerful piece, Amandeep Midha underlines the strenghts of civilisational states. The daughter of slain Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi warns Iran against trusting Western assurances—a caution that unfolds into a meditation on civilisational endurance. From Persia to Bharat, the essay traces how deep cultural memory, deterrence, and narrative strength form the unbreakable bones of survival.

ट्रम्प और नेतन्याहू के हसीन ख्व़ाब कहीं दुनिया को ना ले डूबें

ईरान पर इज़राइल-अमेरिका के वहशियाना हमले को अब पूरा एक महीना या बल्कि उससे भी दो दिन ज़्यादा ही हो चुके हैं. इस एक महीने में काफी कुछ स्पष्ट हो गया है और सबसे बड़ी बात यह पता चली है कि ईरान अपनी संप्रभुता का समपर्ण नहीं करने वाला. ईरान ने जिस तरह से अपनी मर्ज़ी से इज़राइल-अमेरिका के ठिकानों पर हमले किये हैं, उससे लगता है कि ये दोनों हमलावर पहले ही ईरान से हार चुके हैं. 

 

We are trying to create a platform where our readers will find a place to have their say on the subjects ranging from socio-political to culture and society. We do have our own views on politics and society but we expect friends from all shades-from moderate left to moderate right-to join the conversation. However, our only expectation would be that our contributors should have an abiding faith in the Constitution and in its basic tenets like freedom of speech, secularism and equality. We hope that this platform will continue to evolve and will help us understand the challenges of our fast changing times better and our role in these times.
