The headlines of the week by The Indian Express
Presa internațională analizează eficacitatea noilor sancțiuni impuse de Statele Unite companiilor petroliere rusești. Casa Albă încearcă să priveze „mașina de război a Kremlinului” de venituri pentru a-l forța pe Vladimir Putin să vină la masa negocierilor, spun comentatorii. Există însă și semne de întrebare. Washingtonul tocmai a transmis Moscovei „un semnal clar că răbdarea lui Trump față de Putin se epuizează”, rezumă The Wall Street Journal. ”Kremlinul se luptă deja să finanțeze guvernarea și armata, astfel că sencțiunile vor afecta capacitatea Rusiei de a continua războiul și ar putea fi un factor determinant în împingerea lui Putin la masa negocierilor”. Potrivit explicațiilor oferite de ABC News, ”Rosneft și Lukoil, vizate de aceste măsuri, sunt două dintre cele mai mari companii energetice din lume și exportă împreună 3,1 milioane de barili de petrol pe zi. Rosneft este responsabilă singură pentru 6% din producția globală de petrol și aproape jumătate din producția totală de petrol a Rusiei. Sancțiunile sunt primele împotriva Rusiei, de când președintele Trump a preluat mandatul în ianuarie”. BBC transmite că ”aceste sancțiuni vor da cu siguranță o lovitură economiei Rusiei, taxele din industria petrolului și gazelor reprezentând aproximativ un sfert din bugetul federației. Dar efectele în lanț s-ar putea resimți și mult mai departe. Petrolul și gazele sunt cele mai mari exporturi ale Rusiei și printre cei mai mari clienți ai Moscovei se numără China și India, cele mai populate două țări din lume, precum și Turcia. Împreună, China și India reprezintă cea mai mare parte a exporturilor de produse energetice ale Rusiei” Le Monde notează că, fidel stilului său categoric mai puțin diplomatic, Dmitri Medvedev, adjunctul Consiliului de Securitate al Rusiei și fost președinte rus, a declarat joi că deciziile administrației Trump de a anula un summit la Budapesta și de a impune sancțiuni companiilor petroliere rusești arată că Washingtonul este „în război” cu Moscova. Și că acum, Trump s-a aliniat complet cu Europa nebună.” Un expert consultat de Bloomberg se arată circumspect în legătură cu efectele acestor măsuri: ”Casa Albă se amăgește crezând că acest lucru va duce la o schimbare radicală în conduita Kremlinului sau în politica lui Putin. Kremlinul s-a dovedit a fi foarte priceput în a ocoli astfel de sancțiuni.” În timp ce alți specialiști, consultați de The Guardian, consideră că ”fluxul de petrol rusesc către India - o țară care a devenit un cumpărător major în ultimii trei ani - ar putea scădea drastic ca urmare a sancțiunilor americane. Trump a făcut presiuni asupra prim-ministrului Indiei, Narendra Modi, pentru a pune capăt importurilor, iar noile măsuri ar putea accelera aceste mișcări, oferind rafinăriilor indiene o modalitate de a ieși din contractele în care au fost blocate pentru anii următori. Analiștii mai spun că promisiunea din campanie a lui Trump de a menține prețurile la benzină la un nivel scăzut și de a gestiona criza costului vieții ar putea dilua impactul noilor sancțiuni, dacă acestea încep să afecteze dramatic prețul petrolului.”

In 2014, Narendra Modi became India's Prime Minister, marking the beginning of what many experts and international watchgroups identify as a period of democratic erosion in the country. Since then, a number of other democracies around the world have followed India on this path — including, by many measures, the United States. On this episode, Dan Richards talks with two experts on Indian politics and society about Modi's rise in India: its causes and effects, how it compares to other instances of democratic erosion around the world, and what it can teach us about democracy's weaknesses and strengths. Guests on this episode:Poulami Roychowdhury is an associate professor of sociology and international and public affairs at the Watson School of International and Public Affairs.Patrick Heller is a professor of sociology and international and public affairs and director of the Watson School's Saxena Center for Contemporary South Asia. Read Roychowdhury's and Heller's recent work exploring democracy and democratic erosion in India.

Chiến dịch Swachh Bharat do Thủ tướng Narendra Modi phát động năm 2014 đặt mục tiêu chấm dứt tình trạng đại tiện ngoài trời tại Ấn Độ. Với hơn 110 triệu nhà vệ sinh được xây dựng và tuyên bố “không còn tình trạng đại tiện ngoài trời” vào năm 2019, liệu chương trình này có thực sự thành công? Những rào cản về văn hóa, tôn giáo và bất cập trong bảo trì đang đặt ra câu hỏi lớn về tính bền vững của chiến dịch này. Để nói về vấn đề đi vệ sinh ngoài trời ở Ấn Độ, nhiều chuyên gia nghiên cứu về vệ sinh trích lại câu nói của Ganhdi : “Vệ sinh còn quan trọng hơn cả độc lập”. Từ nhiều thế kỷ qua, Ấn Độ được coi là một trong những quốc gia mà tỷ lệ người dân đi vệ sinh ngoài trời cao nhất thế giới. Vào năm 2014, khoảng 40 % dân số Ấn Độ đi vệ sinh ở ngoài trời, tương đương với hơn nửa tỷ người. Thời điểm đó, nhiều ngôi nhà, trường học hay các hạ tầng được xây dựng mà không có nhà vệ sinh. Tình trạng này chủ yếu xảy ra tại các khu vực nông thôn (65%). Điều này không chỉ ảnh hưởng đến sức khỏe cộng đồng, làm gia tăng các bệnh truyền nhiễm như tiêu chảy, tả, và viêm gan A, mà còn gây tổn thất kinh tế lớn, được ước tính lên tới 6% GDP của Ấn Độ (World Bank, 2014). Hệ thống vệ sinh kém còn làm trầm trọng hơn tình trạng bất bình đẳng giới, khi nhiều khu vực có nhà vệ sinh chỉ dành riêng cho nam giới, khiến phụ nữ và trẻ em gái phải đối mặt với nguy cơ bị quấy rối hoặc tấn công khi đi vệ sinh ngoài trời vào ban đêm. Để giải quyết tình trạng này, thủ tướng Ấn Độ Narendra Modi đã phát động chiến dịch đầy tham vọng Swachh Bharat (Ấn Độ sạch) vào năm 2014, để cải thiện vệ sinh và xóa bỏ tình trạng đại tiện ngoài trời tại Ấn Độ trong vòng 5 năm. Chương trình đã thúc đẩy việc xây dựng và sử dụng lâu dài cho tất cả các thành viên trong hộ gia đình, cũng như khởi xướng các dự án Quản lý chất thải rắn và lỏng (SLWM) tại nhiều ngôi làng của đất nước. Chương trình cũng tập trung vào can thiệp thay đổi hành vi, nhận thức của người dân có tính đến văn hóa, tập quán, và nhu cầu của địa phương. Trong tuyên bố ngày 2 tháng 10 năm 2019, nhân kỷ niệm 150 năm ngày sinh của Gandhi, thủ tướng Ấn Độ Modi khẳng định không còn tình trạng đại tiện ngoài trời (ODF). « Trong 60 tháng, 600 triệu người đã được tiếp cận nhà vệ sinh, hơn 110 triệu nhà vệ sinh đã được xây dựng. » Theo Bộ Nước và Vệ sinh Ấn Độ (Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation, 2019), trong 5 năm, 600 triệu người được tiếp cận nhà vệ sinh. Toàn bộ 36 bang và vùng lãnh thổ của Ấn Độ tuyên bố “không còn tình trạng đại tiện ngoài trời” (ODF – Open Defecation Free) vào năm 2019. Tỷ lệ tiếp cận nhà vệ sinh tăng từ 38% (2014) lên hơn 98% (2019). Tỷ lệ mắc bệnh liên quan đến vệ sinh, đặc biệt là tiêu chảy và bệnh đường ruột cũng giảm đáng kể. Những nhà vệ sinh được xây dựng có thực sự được sử dụng ? Tuy nhiên, nhiều chuyên gia đặt câu hỏi về tính bền vững và hiệu quả thực tế của những con số này. Một số nghiên cứu chỉ ra rằng một bộ phận người dân vẫn tiếp tục đại tiện ngoài trời ngay cả khi khu vực của họ đã được công nhận là ODF. Nhà nghiên cứu về Ấn Độ Catherine Bros, giảng viên tại đại học Tours trả lời France Culture, cho biết : Tác động của chương trình mà chính phủ Ấn Độ đưa ra, thường được đánh giá không lâu sau khi các nhà vệ sinh được xây dựng, và vội vàng đưa ra kết luận rằng chương trình này đã thành công. Nhưng trên thực tế, khi quay trở lại nghiệm thu nhiều năm sau đó, người ta có thể thấy rằng vấn đề đối với các nhà vệ sinh được xây dựng đó là bảo trì. Khi chính quyền hoan nghênh việc đã xây dựng được nhiều nhà vệ sinh, cấp nước cho nhiều ngôi làng, nhưng 7, 8 năm sau, khi quay trở lại, những nhà vệ sinh đó đã bị bỏ hoang, không ai dọn dẹp, đường ống thì vỡ hỏng, tắc nghẽn… Đó chính là mặt khuất của chương trình này ». Tại sao những nhà vệ sinh lại không được sử dụng hay bảo trì ? Vấn đề này còn nhiều nguyên nhân sâu sa. Theo nghiên cứu của Diane Coffey, nhà nhân khẩu học tại đại học Texas, chuyên nghiên cứu về tình trạng vệ sinh ở Ấn Độ, nguyên do đầu tiên là yếu tố văn hoá. Tại nhiều khu vực nông thôn ở Ấn Độ, phân được coi là nguồn gây ô nhiễm chính. Đạo Hin Đu được nhiều người Ấn tin theo, đưa ra những khái niệm về sự thanh tịnh (shuddhata) và sự ô uế (ashuddhata). Việc để phân gần nhà, thậm chí ngay cả trong bể phốt, cũng bị coi là làm ô uế không gian sinh hoạt. Tín ngưỡng này khiến nhiều người muốn đi đại tiện ở ngoài trời, xa nhà, để giữ môi trường xung quanh trong sạch, thanh tịnh. Trong các ngôi nhà tại Ấn Độ thường có khu vực thờ cúng cho tổ tiên và các vị thần. Việc có nhà vệ sinh ở gần được coi là hành động báng bổ, thiếu tôn trọng thần linh. Hệ thống phân cấp bậc xã hội vẫn nặng nề trong xã hội Ấn Tại Ấn Độ, xã hội vẫn bị chia rẽ, phân cấp, dựa trên xuất thân và nghề nghiệp. Yếu tố này cũng có vai trò quan trọng trong nhận thức về vệ sinh và chăm sóc sức khỏe. Cụ thể, xã hội Ấn Độ được chia làm bốn đẳng cấp (Varnas) : Brahmanes - Các thầy tu, trí thức, người dạy học; Kshatriyas - Các chiến binh, nhà lãnh đạo; Vaishyas - Các thương nhân, thợ thủ công; Shudras - Những người lao động, phục vụ. Ngoài 4 nhóm này, là các Dalit (tiện dân), còn được gọi là những “Không thể chạm vào”, được giao những công việc bị coi là “ô uế”, bao gồm công việc dọn dẹp nhà vệ sinh và xử lý chất thải con người. Mặc dù Hiến Pháp Ấn Độ năm 1950, đã huỷ bỏ việc phân tầng giai cấp, nhưng những người Dalit, vẫn tiếp tục bị phân biệt đối xử, coi là những người dưới đáy xã hội. Trong tâm thức của nhiều người Ấn, việc lắp đặt nhà vệ sinh ở trong nhà có nghĩa là cần phải dọn dẹp, và công việc này bị coi là việc hạ đi phẩm giá của những người thuộc tầng lớp cao hơn. Nhiều người từ chối sử dụng nhà vệ sinh, để tránh bị gắn với hình ảnh người Dalit và những người dọn dẹp vệ sinh. Các nhà nghiên cứu cũng nêu ra những thói quen đã hình thành từ nhiều thế hệ. Một số người thích đi đại tiện ngoài trời vì thói quen lâu đời và cảm giác thoải mái. Nhiều người không muốn đi đại tiện trong một không gian hẹp, đặc biệt là đối với những người lớn lên với thói quen đó, thì đi đại tiện ở ngoài tự nhiên “thoáng gió”, không có mùi hôi, thường được coi là ưu điểm so với nhà vệ sinh kín. Chính phủ Ấn Độ đã chi khoảng 28 tỷ đô la cho chương trình Ấn Độ Sạch từ hơn chục năm qua, nhưng Marie-Hélène Zerah chuyên gia về Ấn Độ tại đại học Paris-Cité, trả lời đài phát thanh Pháp, giải thích thêm về những bất cập của chương trình này : « Có những nhà vệ sinh được xây dựng, nhưng lại được sử dụng cho mục đích khác, ví dụ như trở thành nơi chứa đồ. Những gia đình nhận được hỗ trợ tài chính để xây dựng nhà vệ sinh, nhưng lại xây một gian khác và tiếp tục hành vi đại tiện ở ngoài trời như truyền thống. Đó mà vấn đề đầu tiên. Thêm vào đó và tình trạng phân biệt đối xử đối với các gia cấp xã hội vẫn duy trì. Một số nhóm người không được phép sử dụng nhà vệ sinh công cộng, ngay cả trong thành phố. Vấn đề thứ ba là việc đông dân, ngay cả trong những ngôi làng, nên khó có thể xây dựng nhà vệ sinh ở khắp mọi nơi. Thêm vào đó, chính phủ đã chi rất nhiều vào đầu tư xây dựng hạ tầng, nhưng những công trình đó lại không đảm bảo chất lượng. Vấn đề quan trọng để thay đổi nhận thức về văn hóa xã hội, thì lại không được chú trọng. » Nhiều nghiên cứu, trong đó có học giả Anisha Gupta, đã chỉ ra tình trạng thiếu nhận thức về lợi ích sức khỏe của việc sử dụng nhà vệ sinh. Một số người không biết về mối liên hệ giữa việc đại tiện ngoài trời và sự lây lan các bệnh lây truyền qua đường nước như tiêu chảy hoặc dịch tả. Một số khác thậm chí còn cho rằng có nhà xí sẽ tạo ra khí ga độc hại, gây bệnh. Và các chương trình tuyên truyền thúc đẩy việc sử dụng nhà vệ sinh lại không đề cập đến yếu tố tín ngưỡng văn hóa. Với hơn 10 năm nghiên cứu về vấn đề vệ sinh ở Ấn Độ, nhà nghiên cứu Anisha Gupta trả lời RFI Tiếng Việt bày tỏ quan ngại : “Hiện đã là năm 2025, trong khi chính phủ Ấn Độ đã thông báo chấm dứt tình trạng vệ sinh ngoài trời. Chương trình làm sạch Ấn Độ nói trên đã chấm dứt, và không còn các hoạt động xây dựng nhà vệ sinh hoặc tuyên truyền phổ biến kiến thức. Do đó tôi e sợ rằng những nhà vệ sinh do chính phủ xây dựng sẽ sớm xuống cấp, không được bảo trì, hoặc không được sử dụng và tình trạng đi vệ sinh ngoài trời vẫn tiếp diễn. Chúng tôi hiện không có nhiều dữ liệu về vấn đề này, nên khó có thể biết chuyện gì đang xảy ra”. Trong nghiên cứu của mình, Anisha Gupta kết luận rằng sự thay đổi hành vi không thể áp đặt bằng biện pháp kỹ thuật hay tuyên truyền ngắn hạn, mà cần chuyển đổi nhận thức sâu về “sạch sẽ” trong khuôn khổ tôn giáo và đẳng cấp. Chỉ khi đó, các chương trình vệ sinh mới đạt được tính bền vững thực sự.

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint.. I'm Nelson John and here are today's top stories. Politics and diplomacy are both running hot today — from Gandhinagar to Washington, and beyond. In Gujarat, Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel has hit the reset button — all 16 ministers resigned, giving him a clean slate to rebuild his cabinet. BJP insiders call it a strategic reset ahead of the 2027 polls. The new team, to be sworn in at Mahatma Mandir, could nearly double in size. Amit Shah and JP Nadda are flying in, underscoring how high the stakes are for the BJP's strongest state. Across the world, Donald Trump's back in the headlines — twice over. First, he claimed PM Modi promised to stop Russian oil imports. India flatly denied it, saying its energy policy serves its own people, not foreign politics. Then, Trump revealed plans to meet Vladimir Putin in Budapest to “end the Ukraine war,” right as Zelensky lands in Washington. It's diplomacy — Trump-style — loud, unpredictable, and headline-hungry. Back in South Asia, India has clearly chosen sides in the Afghanistan–Pakistan border fight — and it's not Islamabad. Delhi slammed Pakistan for “sponsoring terrorism,” backing Kabul after deadly cross-border strikes. The timing is sharp — just as a Taliban minister visits India. And finally, a milestone worth celebrating — India's housing mission just crossed one million approvals under PM Awas Yojana 2.0, with half reserved for women.

Dans le courant de la semaine, vous avez pu découvrir des reportages consacrés aux réfugiés gazaouis et à la capitale indienne. Nous avons rendez-vous avec leurs auteurs, Martin Dumas Primbault et Côme Bastin qui nous a fait découvrir l'étouffante ville de New Delhi entre chaleur et pollution, encore et toujours malgré l'engagement du Premier ministre d'en faire une vitrine en matière d'environnement. Égypte : la vie en suspens des exilés de Gaza Il y a 2 ans, l'attaque terroriste du Hamas sur Israël à la frontière de Gaza va être le déclencheur d'une terrible spirale. La réplique d'Israël, à force d'offensives de chars, de bombardements aériens ; d'assauts de fantassins sur un petit territoire fort peuplé et bouclé, va conduire à une guerre d'anéantissement de la population de cette bande de Gaza. Malgré tout, au moins 100 000 Palestiniens ont pu trouver refuge en Égypte. Faisant du pays, celui qui accueille le plus de Gazaouis. Installés pour la plupart au Caire, ces exilés vivent sans statut légal : l'État égyptien ne leur accorde aucun permis de résidence. Indésirables et au quotidien précaire, ils sont partagés entre l'espoir de rentrer à Gaza quand les armes se tairont et le désir de reconstruire ailleurs une vie nouvelle. Un Grand reportage de Martin Dumas Primbault qui s'entretient avec Jacques Allix. À New Delhi, les nationalistes hindous s'improvisent écologistes Des montagnes de déchets, l'air ambiant ultra-toxique, un fleuve empoisonné… New Delhi, la capitale indienne, fait face à une situation environnementale apocalyptique. Ses 30 millions d'habitants perdraient plus de 10 ans d'espérance de vie à cause de cette pollution. Les politiques publiques ont, pour l'instant, échoué à enrayer cette catastrophe écologique et sanitaire. Lors des élections municipales de mars 2025, le parti du Premier ministre Narendra Modi, le BJP, a été élu avec la promesse d'agir enfin. Mais ses solutions ou ces semblants de solutions peinent pour l'instant à convaincre les experts. Un Grand reportage de Côme Bastin qui s'entretient avec Jacques Allix.
Jim Geraghty is back! Join Jim and Greg on Friday's 3 Martini Lunch as Jim shares highlights from his recent trip to India,including how the opportunity arose and why it happened now. He also explains how Indians are currently viewing the Trump administration and the overall relationship between India and the U.S. as well as the emerging threat from China.First, Jim shares how he got invited on the trip, the significance of the timing, and more. He also goes into detail about the RSS, a powerful group in Indian politics that is closely connected to current Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.Next, Jim details how Indian officials currently view the United States and President Trump. Some strain has emerged in the relationship over the past year, but it has less to do with the tariffs applied by Trump and more to do with how the administration intervened in the tensions between India and Pakistan earlier in the year.Finally, Jim reveals how India is watching China's relentless military buildup with increasing concern, both in terms of a possible invasion of Taiwan and India's own border problems with the Chinese. And, of course, Jim offers some additional humor and flavor from his visit to the world's most populous nation.Please visit our great sponsors:Open a new qualified IRA or cash account with Noble Gold and get a free 10-ounce Silver Flag Bar plus a Silver American Eagle Proof Coin—visit https://NobleGoldInvestments.com/3MLSupport your health with Dose Daily.

Accusant l'Inde d'être trop protectionniste et de financer la guerre en Ukraine par l'achat de pétrole russe, Donald Trump lui a infligé 50% de barrières douanières. Depuis, les relations entre l'Inde et les États-Unis ne cessent de se tendre. Notre reporter s'est rendu à Tirupur, dans le sud de l'Inde, appelée la capitale du textile indien. On y trouve 10 000 petites usines textiles qui emploient au moins 600 000 ouvriers. Toute la métropole dépend du textile, dont une bonne partie à l'export vers les États-Unis. Enfin, jusqu'à il y a peu… De notre envoyé spécial à Tirupur, Sur les trois étages de VPR Textiles, seuls quelques ouvriers s'affairent encore à la découpe. « Cinquante pour cent de taxes, c'est terrible pour Tirupur. Depuis quelques semaines, nous n'avons plus aucune commande, car 80% de nos clients venaient des États-Unis. Ils ont annulé. Moi, je fais 10% de marge, il m'est impossible de compenser ! », s'inquiète Ponnusamy, propriétaire de l'atelier. « Il y a soixante ouvriers ici. Je ne veux pas les licencier. Mais d'ici quelques semaines, je n'aurai pas d'autre choix. » Avec un chiffre d'affaires annuel de près de 8 milliards d'euros à l'export, Tirupur est une réussite industrielle. Si les portes du marché américain se ferment définitivement, la ville saura rebondir, assure le président de la Tirupur Export Association : « Sur 5 milliards d'euros d'exportations dans les usines de Tirupur, 1,6 milliard vont aux États-Unis en moyenne, soit un tiers. Pour l'instant, seuls 5% des emplois sont menacés. Et nous allons nous tourner vers de nouveaux marchés. Ça ne se fera pas en un jour, mais c'est l'affaire de six mois. » Entre incertitudes diplomatiques et espoirs européens Alors que les échanges continuent entre Donald Trump et le Premier ministre indien Narendra Modi, certains espèrent un accord commercial plus arrangeant. Au local du Parti communiste indien, bien implanté dans cette ville ouvrière, l'inquiétude est plus marquée : « 30 % du marché qui s'évapore, cela ne va pas être compensé du jour au lendemain. Ce sont des dizaines de milliers d'emplois menacés à Tirupur. Les patrons disent qu'il y a peu de licenciements, mais c'est parce qu'ils renvoient les migrants pauvres venus du nord qui travaillent au noir et ne sont pas comptabilisés. » C'est l'Union européenne qui est dans tous les esprits, après la conclusion d'un accord de libre-échange entre l'Inde et le Royaume-Uni. Le patron d'Esstee Exports, un des plus grands exportateurs de Tirupur, se veut confiant : « Si un accord de libre-échange est signé avec l'Union européenne, on doublera nos exportations là-bas et ça compensera les risques liés à nos relations troublées avec les États-Unis. » Reste le risque que toutes ces négociations échouent. Tirupur compenserait alors difficilement avec le marché intérieur indien, immense mais bien moins riche.

Des montagnes de déchets, l'air ambiant ultra-toxique, un fleuve empoisonné… New Delhi, la capitale indienne, fait face à une situation environnementale apocalyptique. Ses 30 millions d'habitants perdraient plus de 10 ans d'espérance de vie à cause de cette pollution. Les politiques publiques ont, pour l'instant, échoué à enrayer cette catastrophe écologique et sanitaire. Lors des élections municipales de mars 2025, le parti du Premier ministre Narendra Modi, le BJP, a été élu avec la promesse d'agir enfin.

Trump's foreign policy means the United States is leaving a vacuum in world affairs – and China looks increasingly willing to fill it. Following the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit in Tianjin last month, what is the real nature of Xi Jinping and China's expanding but complex international relationships, including those with Narendra Modi in India and Vladimir Putin in Russia? In the latest episode of This Is Not A Drill, Gavin Esler talks to Elizabeth Wishnick, expert on Chinese-Russian relations and senior research scholar at Columbia University's Weatherhead East Asian Institute, and Tanvi Madan, senior fellow in the Center for Asia Policy Studies at the Brookings Institution, host of the Global India podcast and author of the book Fateful Triangle: How China Shaped US-India Relations during the Cold War.” • This episode of This Is Not A Drill is supported by Incogni the service that keeps your private information safe, protects you from identity theft and keeps your data from being sold.

On-again off again. Hot and cold. That's how I would describe more than 75 years of America's relationship with India. It's a story that seesaws between extremely close cooperation and virtually full ruptures and severe sanctions. And the goal of this interview is to learn from history how Pres. Trump's 50% tariffs may impact our relations with India now!
For a quarter century, Washington policymakers made a strategic bet on India premised on the belief that shared values, shared interests, and a shared strategic convergence in Asia would bind these two countries together as ‘natural allies' in the twenty-first century. All of this optimistic talk came crashing down to Earth a few months ago with the Trump administration's decision to slap 25 percent tariffs on Indian exports. This was exacerbated by a second decision to add an additional 25 percent tariff on India for its import of Russia oil. Taken together, these policy measures plunged U.S.-India relations into their most significant crisis since the late 1990s and the era of U.S. sanctions on India in the wake of the latter's nuclear tests.How did we get here? Where are we now? And where might we be going? These are the questions Milan takes up on this week's show with guest Ashley J. Tellis. Tellis is the Tata Chair for Strategic Affairs at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and is well-known to Grand Tamasha listeners as one of the sanest, wisest voices on South Asia and U.S.-India relations, more specifically. Milan and Ashley discuss the policy of U.S. “strategic altruism” toward India, the ongoing trade negotiations between the United States and India, and Modi's recent visit to the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) meeting in China. Plus, the two discuss the latest turn in U.S.-Pakistan relations and whether the thaw in China-India relations is sustainable. Episode notes:1. Robert D. Blackwill and Ashley J.

But the group noted that “In exceptional circumstances, consideration will be given to financing upstream gas in the poorest countries where there is a clear benefit in terms of energy access for the poor and the project fits within the countries' Paris Agreement commitments.” The Trump Administration is advocating for the World Bank to increase its financing for oil and gas projects, a reversal of its previous policy to cease funding new fossil fuel ventures after 2019. This push prioritizes energy security, especially for upstream gas developments, and also extends to other development banks to finance fossil fuel projects. The U.S. is also pushing other development banks to finance fossil fuels, including gas pipeline projects, according to FT's sources. In recent years, the World Bank and many commercial banks have backed out of lending money to some fossil fuels, including coal, oil sands, and Arctic oil and gas. Banks were under intense shareholder and stakeholder pressure to cut their exposure to fossil fuels and align their lending portfolios to the Paris Agreement goals. But the tables have turned with the U.S. Administration strongly promoting fossil fuels and America's dominance in oil and gas exports.

Each called the other a good friend. In India, the bonhomie between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and U.S. President Donald Trump was seen as a relationship like no other. That is, until a series of events gummed up the works.” It seems that the “bromance” has ended in Trump's second term. “From Trump's tariffs and India's purchase of oil from Russia to a U.S. tilt toward Pakistan, friction between New Delhi and Washington has been hard to miss. And much of it has happened far from the corridors of power and, unsurprisingly, through Trump's posts on social media.
Turkey is among a league of revisionist powers who are challenging the world order. Erdogan and his Islamist movement have aimed to create the “New Turkey”, preparing for a future that is less dependent on Western treaty allies and with an alliance structure of its own. In New Turkey and the Far Right: How Reactionary Nationalism Remade a Country (I. B. Tauris, 2025), Selim Koru discusses the political ideas driving Turkey's regime change and foreign policy. It de-exceptionalizes Turkish politics, arguing that the “New Turkey” is part of a global trend of far-right nationalist movements like that of Donald Trump in the United States or Narendra Modi in India. In particular, the book reveals how far-right nationalist strands in Turkey have been nurtured by an existential resentment of the West, similar to those we are seeing in Russia. In tracing this resentment and its historical roots, the book invites policymakers and experts to better understand the new relationships Turkey is building with fellow revisionists including China and Russia, as well as Turkey's involvement in the wars in Syria and Ukraine and Erdogan's grand strategy for expansion. The book is based on interviews with senior politicians and civil servants from across the country's political spectrum. It also benefits from the author's personal knowledge of Turkey's far-right and Islamist traditions. His work can be regularly found at his Substack, Kulturkampf. Learn more about your ad choices.

‘It is vanishingly rare for a writer to both confront the ugliness of humanity and still search for its beauty. Roy is that rare writer.' – Naomi Klein Arundhati Roy is one of today's most esteemed public intellectuals. The author of novels including the Booker Prize-winning The God of Small Things, Roy is equally respected as a political essayist. Her words on topics from the COVID-19 pandemic to the plight of India under Prime Minister Narendra Modi have helped define public discourse in India and beyond. In September 2025 Roy came to the Intelligence Squared stage for two exclusive events. Combining the signature scale, sweep and depth of her novels, and the passion, political clarity and warmth of her essays, Roy drew on the themes of her new memoir for a compelling exploration of her life and work. Born out of the onrush of memories and feelings provoked by her mother Mary's death, Mother Mary Comes to Me is Roy's telling of her own story from childhood to the present, from Kerala to Delhi. An ode to freedom, a tribute to thorny love and savage grace, it is a memoir like no other. The event was a rare opportunity to hear from one of the greatest writers of our generation. --- If you'd like to become a Member and get access to all our full ad free conversations, plus all of our Members-only content, just visit intelligencesquared.com/membership to find out more.

Tommy & Ben discuss China's summit in Tianjin, which brought together leaders from 20 countries, including India, Iran, Russia, and North Korea, and how it signals a major shift in global alliances. They talk about the schism between Trump and India's President Narendra Modi and how Trump keeps conceding to China on issues like AI and student visas despite his many empty threats. Also covered: the administration's illegal airstrike on a Venezuelan boat allegedly carrying drugs, the new for-profit ethnic cleansing plan for Gaza, how the gutting of USAID is hobbling the response to Afghanistan's devastating earthquake, and Steve Witkoff's stupendous incompetence in his role as special envoy for….everything. Then, Tommy speaks with journalist Jasper Nathaniel, who covers the West Bank on his Substack, Infinite Jaz. They talk about what life is like for Palestinians there, the far-right's goal of achieving total annexation of the territory, and the pipe dream of a two-state solution.

Russian President Vladimir Putin met with Chinese leader Xi Jinping and held hands with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Beijing this weekend. Their talks came during the annual Shanghai Cooperation Organization meeting, an event that marked the first time in seven years that Presidents Modi and Xi met in person. It also comes as the US navigates a rocky relationship with China, combats India's frustration over President Donald Trump's tariffs, and tries to broker peace between Russia and Ukraine. To discuss further what Putin's latest bromance with Xi and Modi means for his on-again, off-again relationship with Trump, we spoke with Tommy Vietor.

This week, Scott sat down with his Lawfare colleagues Anna Bower, Tyler McBrien, and Peter Harrell to talk through the week's big national security news stories, including:“Faginomics.” With the recent announcement that the U.S. government would be taking a 10% stake in the company Intel, the Trump administration has ushered in a new era of state-guided industrial policy, fueled by concerns of major power competition, particularly around the race to AI. How does this new policy intersect with its other novel economic priorities, such as the imposition of tariffs? And how legally viable is it, given present (and potentially future) legal challenges?“Ménage à Trois.” On the margins of the recent meeting of the China- and Russia-led Shanghai Cooperation Organisation, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi made a point of warmly (and very publicly) embracing Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping—a move many have taken as a clear shot across the bow at the Trump administration, which has been in heated economic negotiations with India over tariffs and trade relations. What does this exchange say about the Trump administration's handling of the U.S. relationship with India—and other key U.S. relationships?“Midnight Planes Going Nowhere.” In an emergency hearing over the holiday weekend, federal judge Sparkle Sooknanan stopped the Trump administration from deporting hundreds of unaccompanied Guatemalan minor migrants to their home country—a move that the government of Guatemala has now claimed that it invited. What should we make of this move by the Trump administration? And how does it fit within its broader immigration crackdown?In object lessons, Tyler biked to City Island, NY, discovering a charming little enclave with great food, shops, and beaches. Sticking with the New York theme, Anna recommends “John Proctor is the Villain,” a play by a writer from her Georgia hometown that's so good it's making women cry. Scott, meanwhile, left New York behind to live his best Neapolitan life with a new backyard pizza oven that can achieve the appropriate temp for a puffy crust. And Peter's been reading “When the Clock Broke,” a reminder that the 1990s may have been the dress rehearsal for our current political dumpster fire, all the while keeping an eye on challenges to Trump v.

On this episode of the MeidasTouch Podcast: Trump continues to hide from public view as speculation about his failing health grows, while his disastrous foreign policy leaves the United States isolated—driving India's Prime Minister Modi into the arms of Russia and China. Meanwhile, Trump gaslights Americans about the economy as working people feel the pain of his reckless tariffs and failed policies — all as a court deems those very tariffs to be illegal, potentially upending his entire agenda.
