The China-Russia 'no limits partnership' has become part and parcel of deliberations on the nature of the world order today. Most recently, Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin met for the 43rd time, breaking a record for the number of times leaders of two countries have met. And especially since the Russia-Ukraine war broke out in 2022, the partnership between the two sides has grown economically, militarily, and politically. The two also share a common vision for a reformed world order – one that is based on a mutual, anti-West sentiment. In this episode of All Things Policy, Anushka Saxena quizzes Amit Kumar of the Takshashila Institution on the dynamics of China-Russia and its various facets. They also discuss implications for India vis-a-vis the evolving ambitions of Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin, given that the natures of India-China and India-Russia relations are diametrically opposed.

In this episode of our podcast, we dive deep into the realm of nuclear fusion with Amit Kumar Singh, CEO of Nearstar Fusion. Amit introduces us to an ambitious future where energy production could be as sustainable and accessible as drawing water from a tap. He discusses Nearstar Fusion's innovative approach to energy generation using hypervelocity plasma railguns—a concept that might sound like science fiction but could be closer to reality than we think.Amit explains the technical workings of these railguns, which are used to accelerate projectiles into a target containing deuterium, a hydrogen isotope, to achieve fusion. This process, he notes, combines elements of both magnetic and inertial confinement approaches, aiming to efficiently generate energy by overcoming the immense challenges traditionally associated with sustaining fusion reactions.Throughout the conversation, Amit highlights the potential and efficiencies of fusion power, emphasizing its capacity to provide substantial energy outputs with minimal environmental impact. He explains how fusion, unlike other forms of nuclear energy, is inherently safe due to its lack of chain reactions, and how the energy produced can be harnessed using molten salt to heat water, subsequently generating electricity.Further in the discussion, Amit addresses the scalability and commercial viability of fusion energy. He discusses the operational realities of running a fusion power plant, which includes rapid, repetitive firing of fusion-inducing projectiles. This aspect of the technology underlines the intense and precise nature of managing such an innovative form of power generation.Lastly, the episode explores the broader implications of fusion energy on the energy sector and global climate initiatives. Amit reflects on the integration of fusion within the current energy landscape, its potential to complement renewable sources like solar and wind, and the challenges of transitioning from experimental to commercial stages. This discussion provides listeners with a comprehensive view of the future of energy, driven by a fusion of cutting-edge technology and sustainable practices.

When we think about the illegal wildlife trade, we think of the fur of tigers, the ivory of elephant tusks and the scales of pangolins - but even small wild cats are traded illegally in many countries around the world. In the porous border region between Myanmar and the Indian state of Mizoram, wildlife biologist Amit Kumar Bal stumbled upon a trade of small wild cats from the Murlen National Park in India, across the border to Myanmar - a global hub for the illegal wildlife trade.

We all have moments in our lives when we see someone who could use a helping hand. It could be a friend who recently went through a breakup, an elderly person trying to load groceries into their car, or a stranger on the street who looks a little lost.

This week, psychologist Amit Kumar helps us understand what keeps us from taking a moment to be kind, and how to overcome these barriers to create stronger, happier connections.
