HE Mr Lee Seong-ho (@RokEmbIndia) & @MohanCRaja released the latest report by CSDR's ROK Chair.
The report assesses the outcomes of President Lee Jae Myung's three-day visit to India in April 2026. It tracks the visit's strategic frameworks, government-to-government agreements, business-to-business deals, & policy announcements, & reads them against the prior arc of the India-ROK Special Strategic Partnership.

Before the workshop, the delegation visited HMAS Stirling, met with the Deputy Commander of the @Australian_Navy Submarine Force, Captain Byron Williamson & got a briefing on RAN submarine operations and rescue capability.
We also visited JFD, where Ryan Wilson walked us through the full logistics chain from a disabled sub to live rescue ops, moving alongside Search, Intervention, and Rescue.
Our visit closed out at the Fremantle Maritime Museum.

In my column for Hindustan Times, I argue that RSS general secretary Dattatreya Hosabale's statement on maintaining a "window for dialogue" with Pakistan is sound.
However, the civilisational packaging that India & Pakistan have been “one nation” will not work in diplomacy.

🚨🚨NEW REPORT🚨🚨
India has adopted Multi-Domain Operations (MDO) as a doctrine. In our latest report, @LtGenHooda & Lt Col Pavithran Rajan argue that MDO only works if you own the networks, data, and infrastructure it runs on. India mostly does not.
The answer is not to drop MDO but to make control of that substrate a national priority, built before a crisis rather than during one.

In the first report on this subject, @LtGenHooda & Lt Col Pavithran Rajan deconstructed the Socio-Technical-Cognitive Battlespace (STCB) of modern warfare.

The authors explored the complexities inherent in modern operations, in which perceived success and strategic victory are increasingly decoupled from purely kinetic achievements.
