Sour notes at the nuclear high table
Seema Sirohi and Abhijit Iyer-Mitra
18 April 2013
India appears to have successfully climbed into the category of a nuclear "have," overcoming the divisions enshrined in the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and enforced fervently by its adherents. However, as India prepares to argue its case for entering the export control regimes, it will find that the new "status" will bring contentious new issues, which will demand careful consideration.
 
A blueprint to evaluate digital governance
R. Swaminathan
18 April 2013
Sooner than later, India will have to start evaluating its e-governance projects. And in the near future, the focus will shift to the outcomes of e-governance initiatives.
 
Things are looking up for Indo-China ties
Manoj Joshi
16 April 2013
India need not bite the bait, it can use the space created for pushing its own agenda with China which includes resolving our border dispute, getting the Pakistani monkey off our backs and getting better terms of trade from the Chinese. China is unlikely to yield anything easily, but if the emerging Indo-Pacific geopolitics provides an opportunity, New Delhi would be foolish to look the other way.
 
Do nothing Delhi
C. Raja Mohan
16 April 2013
Delhi must focus on realising the full potential of bilateral cooperation with both the US and China, instead of precluding beneficial bilateral engagement with one in the name of avoiding conflict with the other. The current policy of "doing nothing" and finding reasons for inaction will steadily reduce India's relevance for both Washington and Beijing.
 
North Korean imbroglio: Who can do what?
Dr. Rajeswari Pillai Rajagopalan
16 April 2013
While on the surface, both the US (and South Korea and Japan) and China appear to have the goal of seeing a stable Korean Peninsula, there appear to be serious differences about what regional stability means.
 
Pakistan elections and PPP
T.V. Rajeswar
15 April 2013
Pakistan's PPP-led government failed to end the domination of the military over the government, much less bring the military machine, particularly the army, under the government's control. A huge percentage of the country's budget is allocated to the military.
 
India and the Arms Trade Treaty: A contrarian view
Dr. Rajeswari Pillai Rajagopalan
12 April 2013
India should look at ways to become an active party in arms trade treaty debates if it has to prove its credentials in global governance. While advancing its global governance role, India will have to also ensure that its arms procurement is not adversely affected.
 
Record of Indian arms industry remains one of failure
Manoj Joshi
11 April 2013
The demand for cash that all political parties have to contest elections has been the fountainhead that has created a bureaucratic, military and defence decision-making structure which ensures that we keep running at the same place when it comes to creating a vibrant military industry complex in the country.
 
India's Demographic Dividend: Where are the jobs?
Rohit Sinha
11 April 2013
With the labour force participation rate expected to rise significantly in the coming years in India, it is imperative that the government formulates a common policy on business development and regulation. India's high economic growth story cannot be taken for granted.
 
Re-visiting neighbourhood policy
N Sathiya Moorthy
10 April 2013
For India to be taken seriously by its neighbours, and other friends and adversaries alike, it has to be clear in its mind as to what it is and where it is headed, and where it wants to go - and can actually travel to.
