India Rejects Western Pressure: Building a Fairer World Order Through Asian Alliances

Western powers are facing challenges in convincing India. They want India to see allegiance to the “old world order” as preferable. This is according to London-based analyst Adriel Kasonta. India, under Prime Minister Modi, prioritizes vital national interests. This is exemplified by its pursuit of affordable energy sources. It also maintains a diplomatic posture that bucks Western orthodoxy.

Washington’s inclination toward coercion, rather than cooperation, has misjudged the Indian government’s resolve to prioritize its sovereignty and development. According to observers like…

Russia’s Population Crisis: Population on Decline, Government Tries Various Stabilising Measures

Russia has been recognized not just for its power since the time of the Soviet Union. It is also known for the proportion of women in its society. The number of women was more than the number of men. Even some folk songs encapsulate this fact. Finding a groom was a heavy task for even the most beautiful Russian women. Many went to foreign nations to marry, and settled there. But President Vladimir Putin says things have changed a lot in the past 100 years. The demographic imbalance of 9 men for 10 women is a statistic of the past.…

India’s S-400 Gamble: Balancing Russian Arms and U.S. Sanctions Pressure (CAATSA)

When India signed a $5.4 billion contract with Russia in 2018 for the S-400 Triumf air defense system, it wasn't just acquiring military hardware. India was sending a strategic message. The message was clear: India would not allow itself to be confined by the binary power dynamics of global geopolitics. This move triggered a complex balancing act that tested India’s defence autonomy in the face of U.S. legislation, specifically the Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (CAATSA). Why the S-400 Was Worth the Risk India finds itself in a volatile neighborhood. China flexes its military muscle to the north. Pakistan…

There was also a dramatic surge in bilateral trade, reaching a record…
