Our foreign policy experts' research output is 1-10% of that of US, EU or China, when any of these countries do collateral damage to our interests, in pursuit of their interest, we throw childish tantrums, we have 100 critiques (new exp projects) 0 solutions (funding sources) 😂

Usual @Bloomberg hit job on AI. As AI spokesperson told Bloomberg, its queries were “highly speculative”. Bloomberg stories on #China are laced with treacle. Stories on India are laced with misinformation.

TN has a bigger economy than Karnataka , the mystery is why does it collect less? It had not collected its budgeted taxes for last 3 years but shown huge growth in GDP! Are they counting GDP correctly?
Uttar Pradesh collects a similar amount of GST as Karnataka and Gujarat. But the big difference is that UP has 3.5 times the population of KA or GJ. So there is a massive scope for improvement! Unfortunately highly populated WB is quite low & Bihar is nowhere in the picture.

Kenyan govt awards Nairobi Airport project to Chinese company at 50% higher cost after cancelling Adani contract. Read how political opposition amplified by Congress party and a baseless US case led to Kenya govt cancelling the deal with Adani Group. opindia.com/2026/06/congress…

GLISCO-DS created protests against Adani in Kenya for a deal they secured with the govt of Kenya by doing propaganda that the project affects the environment, is over priced etc. This was entirely done using social media in Kenya instigating their citizens against India and Adani by state sponsored psyops. The protests in Kenya was also used to hit Adani in India by turning Indians against the company and used for politics. Now, a few years later, a Chinese company got the same project for 1.5x the price Adani quoted and won. There are no protests in Kenya now. It is the same project, same environmental concerns, much higher price, and we can be sure the project will use mostly Chinese engineers and won't care much about any regulation. Please tell this story to your concerned friend who gets easily instigated against India's companies and development plans seeing Insta reels. Share it with your Kenyan friends. This is how they do psyops, derail Indian companies, hit Indian development, and then profit of it. Do not let them protest against development in Anadaman or Adani again. The same Kenya toolkit is being used to derail India's strategic development and destroy strategic companies.

Former intelligence and military vets in India should also watch out for traps laid by foreign operatives. Some of the common ways to lure them - invite to speak at conferences, join think tanks or consulting firms, academic exchanges, serve on advisory boards.
Attention, current and former U.S. government employees! Foreign intelligence services are posing as employers on professional networking sites like LinkedIn to target clearance holders for recruitment. We urge you to visit fbi.gov/investigate/counteri… to learn how to mitigate the threat.

In genuine inter-country transactionalism(T*m) we look at the benefit-cost ratio of each transaction, for each country. I have not seen a single ve estimate for USA. Genuine liberals shouldn't dignify #Predatory #hegemony by naming it T*m!
"Whether the US is right or wrong in its view, India is no longer seen as a power to be strengthened. It is instead a destination for US products, investments, and arms... The future is cold-eyed transactionalism," writes @BajpaiKanti . indianexpress.com/article/op…

To ignore the structural challenges for anyone from the developing world to really hold up critical research on the developed world and to suggest that this is not an issue (a critical issue of basic equity) is simply quite staggering. As noted, the framing is not just correct.
What I find strange re this debate is Carnegie's Grand Tamasha platforms many Indian experts for global audience I often learn of their work from the pod. It's elevated Indian analysts/issues; not suppressed them! Discussion we shld be having is re ltd resources for India study

What is true - in fact - is that we need all kinds of people working on all parts of the world, with humility and with a semblance of equity in the exchange of analysis and gaze. And the truth is we are far from being there. The hierarchy in this is palpably problematic.
Once, both NSC sr director & dir. for Middle East were Indian Ams, so 🤷🏽‍♀️ Sometimes complaint is too many Indians working on India; sometimes opposite. Truth is we need a lot more ppl of any/all kind working on India. Note: study below assesses polls of *Indians* over the yrs

As the original comment noted, this has little to do with those people or that book etc and much more to do with the organising optics (wrong optics) of promoting an event on what Indians think with the key stakeholder missing. Surprised that this could even be missed in 2026.
To be honest, this is an odd comment. Paul and Aidan have published an academic book in which they've painstakingly compiled, digitized, and analyzed decades' worth of public opinion data to help us understand what Indians think of the great powers. It is an amazing public good.

Perhaps actually having an Indian working in India in the field comment would be useful? No shade on the scholars now in the programme but would there be such a programme about how Americans think about the world without any American working in America on it? Almost certainly no.
We know surprisingly little about what ordinary Indians think about foreign policy and how what they think influences their governments’ choices — if at all. @amilliff and @pstanpolitics join @MilanV on this week’s Grand Tamasha to shed light on Indians’ views on major powers and what they mean for democracy.
