A premier research and media lab where research meets media, and South Asia's vibrant story unfolds
Russia’s actions speak for themselves. Ukraine is a flat land buffer zone for Russia which has protected it from Napoleonic France, and Imperial and Nazi Germany. The West has been in a constant liberal delusion while Russia has acted realistically and defensively.
If the individuals and nations are crammed by disinformation, it will affect public perception and policy. In 2003, the same propaganda, warmongering and false/misled information by U.S. officials led to the invasion of Iraq, precisely on the claims of WMDs.
India with its leverage lost in Afghanistan is reportedly considering reopening its embassy in Kabul. This comes at a time when India is seeking its role in Afghanistan; either through ‘Asia-Pacific’ group – 18th Russia-India-China (RIC) foreign ministers’ meeting, or through United States-led initiatives, such as Quad.
Failed withdrawal: Afghanistan in turmoil, economy ruined, society unstable, security lacking, infrastructure insufficient.
Taliban in recent years have honed their diplomatic arms. This is because the group did not enjoy any international legitimacy; when it took control of the country during the late 90s to 2001.
Tragic blasts hit Kabul’s Dasht-e-Barchi, targeting a school and Shia community, claiming over fifty lives, mainly schoolgirls.
