Note: This week's episode of PxP:Conversations, between PEI's Anurag Acharya and Ambassador Ranjit Rae, is a continuation of last week's episode. Please listen to the earlier episode if you haven't already. Ep. Co#006 The geopolitical landscape of South Asia continues to evolve, with India forced to concede its traditionally uncontested influence to other superpowers, namely, China and the United States. While the US is more strategically allied with India, increasing Chinese influence has directly challenged Indian hegemony in the region. Considering all of these moving pieces, there arises the question of what this geopolitical shift means for recipient countries like Nepal, which has continued to rely on aid provided by developed countries to expand its infrastructures and spur economic growth. In this episode, Anurag asks Ambassador Rae to share intricate details about his engagement with Nepal and its messy politics, from his ring-side view of the 12-point agreement signed between Nepal's political parties and the CPN-Maoist, to his challenging period in office as an Indian Ambassador to Nepal. The two then discuss Ambassador Rae's proposition, detailed in his recent book “Kathmandu Dilemma: Resetting India-Nepal Ties” on how the two countries can overcome the historic and recent tensions, and mutual suspicion, to reset bilateral ties that are grounded on new geopolitical realities. Ambassador Rae is a retired Indian diplomat. During his tenure of over 30 years in the Indian Foreign Service, he held various positions, including | the Ambassador of India to Vietnam and Hungary; the First Secretary of the Permanent Mission of India to the United Nations in New York, and the head of the Northern Division in the Ministry of External Affairs dealing with Nepal and Bhutan. From 2013 to 2017, Ambassador Rae served as the Indian Ambassador to Nepal. During these years, Nepal witnessed some historic events including the promulgation of the new constitution and the earthquake of 2015. This was also a tumultuous period in the Nepal-India relationship, which Ambassador Rae has discussed extensively in his book. ************************ Our theme music (Evening Session: The Hill) is courtesy of Rohit Shakya of Jindabaad.

India was abstain at the United Nations votes over Ukraine-Russia crisis. There is a speculation that India is in a difficult position to against Russia's attack to Ukraine. In this episode, I talked to Ambassador Gurjit Singh, former Indian Ambassador to Germany, Indonesia, Ethiopia, ASEAN and the African Union on why India abstained when the world condemned Russia, the same topic that Amb Gurjit Singh wrote recently at the Jakarta Post.
For about two months now, more than 100,000 Russian soldiers have been present at the border the country shares with Ukraine in preparations on what the US says will be an invasion any day now. And the recent developments at the border are not reassuring with reports of shellfire ringing out in the rebel held territories in eastern Ukraine. Both Russia and Belarus have also extended their military drills that were due to end on 20 February, signaling intensifying pressure on the West. Diplomatic talks between the US President Joe Biden and Russian President Vladimir Putin have begun in earnest but no concrete headway has been made with the latter refusing to de-escalate on his demands. However, there are talks now of a possible summit between Biden and Putin sometime in the coming days. In our past episodes, we dove into why Russia is fielding soldiers at the Ukraine border and the actions taken by the US so far. In today's episode, we will try answering the big question: what steps can be taken to deter a potential Russia attack, will economic sanctions really work? What steps can be taken to prevent the worst? To discuss this, I have two great guests-Professor Harsh V Pant, Director, Studies and Head of the Strategic Studies Programme at the Observer Research Foundation, a global policy think tank and PS Raghavan, former Indian Ambassador to Russia. Guests: Professor Harsh V Pant, Director, Studies and Head of the Strategic Studies Programme at the Observer Research Foundation (ORF). PS Raghavan, former Indian Ambassador to Russia.

About the lecture: Syria has seen an internecine civil war for the last decade. It has involved 4 out of the 5 Permanent Security Council members on either side of the conflict making it international, throwing to the wind the cardinal principles of the UN Charter particularly, sovereignty, non-interference, and self-defense. It sets an extremely retrograde principle for the conduct of international relations.

India-China relations stand at a crossroads after the border crisis in 2020. Where do relations go from here, and how should India engage with China going forward even as it confronts a widening power gap with its neighbour?

The Myanmar military seized power of the government in a coup on 1 February 20201. The country has since been immersed in a civil disobedience movement. Since February, over 520 civilians have lost their lives in their fight against the military. The military stated that the November 2020 elections, which were won by the country's de-facto leader Aung Suu Kyi and her party the National League of Democracy were fraudulent. However, this assertion has been dismissed by the election commission of the country.This episode is part 2 of The Big Story's coverage on the military coup in Myanmar. In part 1, we discussed the political history and narratives of the country, with veteran diplomat and former Indian Ambassador to Myanmar, Mr Vivek Katju. You can find the link to that episode in our show notes. In today's episode, you will be hearing voices from two young men, namely Alex and Jeremaih from Myanmar, describing the on-ground reality of their respective cities, the actions taken by the military and what they want the world to know.

It's been 2 months since history repeated itself in Myanmar, where on 1 February, its de facto leader Aung San Suu Kyi was detained along with other leaders following a military coup in the country. At least 521 civilians have been killed in two months of protests against the junta and 141 of them took place on 27 March, which was the bloodiest day of the unrest according to the Assistance Association for Political Prisoners.The military seized power saying that the November 2020 elections won by Suu Kyi's party were fraudulent, an assertion which has been dismissed by the election commission. The National League of Democracy or NLD, which Suu Kyi's leads, won in the November elections with a tally of 396 seats out 498.It's important to note that Myanmar is not new to military takeovers. The country was immersed in a military dictatorship from 1962 to 2010 and the military had a tight grip over its citizens through torture and mass killings.An entire generation of Myanmar has suffered in silence at the hands of the country's military.And given that an entire new generation has now tasted democracy, the world is now watching how the military is taking back control of the country and tossing aside a government that won a massive popular mandate only a few months ago.In this two-part special episode, we are going to first hear from veteran diplomat and the former Indian Ambassador to Myanmar Vivak Katju to understand the complexities of Myanmar, its history, and what led to the coup. In the second part, you will hear from voices in Myanmar about what the ground reality is, what measures have been taken by the military and what do the people of Myanmar want.Host and Producer: Himmat Shaligram Guest: Viviek Katju, veteran diplomat and former Indian Ambassador to Myanmar Editor: Shelly Walia Music: Big Bang FuzzListen to The Big Story podcast on:Apple: https://apple.co/2AYdLIl Saavn: http://bit.ly/2oix78C Google Podcasts: http://bit.ly/2ntMV7S Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2IyLAUQ Deezer: http://bit.ly/2Vrf5Ng Castbox: http://bit.ly/2VqZ9ur
The Biden administration has been in office for just a little over two months but India has already emerged as an important foreign policy priority for the president and his new team. But what do the United States and India seek to do together? What is the significance of this month’s leadership-level Quad summit? And, at a time when democracy is under stress globally, how are these two democracies managing their own domestic challenges at home? To discuss these questions and more, the Indian Ambassador to the United States Taranjit Singh Sandhu joins Milan on the podcast this week. There are few people in the Indian government who have more experience living and working in the United States as Ambassador Sandhu, who is on his third tour of duty in Washington. Ambassador Sandhu and Milan discuss how U.S.-India relations have evolved since the former’s first posting in Washington in 1997 and what the future might hold for the bilateral partnership.

In this episode, we talk with former Indian Ambassador Arun Singh to dissect the current US-India relationship. We assess the relationship under the Trump Administration and the Modi Government, and what the relationship may look like if a Biden Administration is inaugurated in January. We also cover the deepening rift between India and China in the aftermath of the skirmishes at the border Sino-Indian border at Ladakh, how India may try to counter China's growing sphere of influence in South and Southeast Asia, and whether the rift means a closer US-India relationship. We also touch briefly on how Pakistan fits into the bilateral relationship, and whether any diplomatic complications may arise due to events in Kashmir.
India and the United States find themselves increasingly converging on the key geopolitical issues of our time: counterterrorism, the Free and Open Indo-Pacific, rules-based order, and the need for transparent and sustainable infrastructure in South Asia. As an unprecedented crisis simmers at the China-India border, the India-U.S. strategic partnership is poised to assume even greater significance in the years ahead. Please join us as Ambassador Taranjit Singh Sandhu reviews recent efforts to strengthen the India-U.S. partnership based on the shared values of democracy and the rule of law while looking ahead to new opportunities for India-U.S. collaboration in a changing global environment.

Just before most global travel stopped and India went into lockdown because of the novel coronavirus pandemic, Ujwalla Tate's J-1 visa to work and learn hospitality services at a hotel in Florida expired. Now she's stranded, alone, in the US, far from her family, and without a job.“The hotel where I was working gave us accommodation, where I'm living,” Tate said. “The grocery shops are like 10, 20 miles away, and we don't have any local transportation. In the building, I have [an] American family who knows me really well so, sometimes they provide me food.” Thousands of Indian nationals on visas like Tate are stuck in the US, including many students. Sudhanshu Kaushik, executive director of the North American Association of Indian Students, said many were on scholarships, and within a few days, some lost their jobs. Others were evicted or didn't have enough money to eat.“I would say that all stakeholders involved, the government, the diplomatic missions, the students and the community — I don't think they understood the scope of how much this lockdown would affect them.”Sudhanshu Kaushik, executive director, North American Association of Indian Students“I would say that all stakeholders involved, the government, the diplomatic missions, the students and the community — I don't think they understood the scope of how much this lockdown would affect them,” he said.Students' families in India begged the Indian government to arrange transportation home. Eventually, Indian officials responded that they couldn't provide flights for so many people.“In terms of the scope and the logistics, it was an obvious ‘no.' That it isn't possible. But even that answer — even that simple, "no” took almost four, five, six days, which created somewhat of a confusion and hysteria among the students because they just didn't have a definite answer,” Kaushik said.In an Instagram question and answer session with students that was streamed live April 11, Indian Ambassador to the US Taranjit Singh Sandhu said any travel would invite trouble. He said it would expose students to possible infection, and could also be harmful to their families in India when they arrived home. “You are in the US. Therefore there is nothing to panic. My strong advice to you is stay put where you are."Taranjit Singh Sandhu, Indian Ambassador to the US “You are in the US. Therefore there is nothing to panic,” Sandhu said. “My strong advice to you is stay put where you are. We are in touch with you. If you have problem, please come to us, and we will help you out.” Indian officials created a 24/7 hotline. They enlisted the help of Indian American hotel owners across the US to house people who are stranded. One of those hotel owners is KP Patel, an American-born son of Gujrati Indian immigrants. “My dad came over from India. Had nothing in his pockets. Pulled himself up,” Patel said. “But it is India that is our motherland.” Patel says it is his duty to help fellow Indians. He's reserved half of his rooms in Santa Cruz, California, for local Indian students who were displaced from university housing, or were staying in places that put them at risk. “For example, I took in three students just over the last few days, and they were in an unsafe environment where six, seven kids were staying in one apartment. [They] didn't feel safe being there,” he said. “I asked them to come stay with me for a few weeks.”Now, each student has their own room. Patel's working with Meals on Wheels to get them food. He said he'll house them for as long as this emergency lasts. Read: International students displaced by COVID-19 also face headaches with online classesBut despite efforts by people like Patel, and assurances from the Indian ambassador, Kaushik remains worried. He said it's hard to reach such a large, spread-out population so quickly. Some Indians affected don't even have cell phones. “I think many people are falling through the cracks,” he said.There's also a lot of misinformation being spread and scams being run, Kaushik said. In the back of his mind is the question of what happens when this is all over: Will thousands of Indians pack flights to return home? “Where are you going to quarantine [them]? You already have a lack of places where you can do so, which is a true headache,” he said. “You have a lack of tests that are taking place. So how are we going to mediate that?”Kaushik said now that the Indian government understands the magnitude of the problem — and the sheer number of people impacted — they're trying to plan ahead, and answer those questions.

Jon Lee Anderson, Peter Bergen and Steve Coll in conversation with Navtej Sarna. The growth of India, China, Brazil, Russia and Africa is generating a new landscape.
