In The Hindu this week, I write on how the new government in Syria has onboarded Uyghur militants, earlier part of now president Ahmed Al Sharaa's Hay'at Tahrir al Sham group, as part of its revised armed forces creating a security conundrum for China. www.thehindu.com/opinion/op-e...

In The Hindu few days ago, my piece on the multiple layers of realpolitik behind the long-sought Israel and Hamas ceasefire. While a halt in violence in #Gaza is the single largest take away, the longevity of this arrangement is at stake from the get go. www.thehindu.com/opinion/op-e...

The recent flurry of reports that Taliban-appointed nominees may take charge of some of Afghanistan's diplomatic posts in India could be a turning point. My piece in Hindustan Times today explaining why India is looking to entertain the Taliban in such a way. www.hindustantimes.com/opinion/poli...

To be honest joining a new platform just seems like too much work now. I'd just prefer going back to a Nokia 3310 and play Snake I, send snail mail, and if anyone needs me you'd have to fire a yellow flare gun and just hope I somehow see it. Otherwise, you know, tough luck.
