First, we speak to The Indian Express' Diplomatic Affairs Editor Shubhajit Roy about the New Delhi Declaration adopted at the BRICS Summit, how India bridged divisions over the West Asia war, and what the document reveals about the grouping's expanding global ambitions.Next, we speak to The Indian Express' Damini Nath about Raghav Chadha's removal from Punjab's draft electoral roll and subsequent reappearance in Delhi, the questions surrounding his registration, and what the case reveals about the ongoing Special Intensive Revision process. (17:40)And in the end, we look at why Tata Sons may be pushed towards a public listing after the RBI rejected its request to surrender its registration, and how differences among major shareholders could shape what may become one of India's most consequential IPOs.

BRICS Summit: Weaponisation of tech, critical minerals could hinder shared progress, warns Modi Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday warned that the weaponisation of technology and critical minerals could become a hurdle to shared progress, and called on BRICS countries to ensure inclusive access to technology while pursuing growth that balances development with environmental sustainability. Modi said the grouping needed to strengthen resilience and ensure that the benefits of solutions developed within BRICS were also adaptable and accessible to countries of the Global South, addressing a session on “Resilience, Innovation, Cooperation and Sustainability: Shaping the Future for Inclusive Global Growth” at the BRICS Summit in New Delhi. “The weaponisation of technology and critical minerals can become a hurdle in our shared progress. Therefore, we have emphasised inclusivity in technology adoption,” Modi said. India steers BRICS to consensus on trade, coercive measures amid West Asia rift India pulled off a critical diplomatic balancing act at the BRICS Summit on Saturday, securing consensus among all 11 member nations on a joint declaration that voices serious concern over the rise of “unilateral tariff and non-tariff measures” running contrary to WTO rules, and resolves to strengthen the multilateral trade body. Negotiators worked through the night to bridge deep rifts between Iran and the UAE over the West Asia conflict to arrive at language acceptable to all, sources close to the development said. The resulting New Delhi Declaration condemns unilateral coercive measures as violations of international law, calls for protecting global trade, energy flows and supply chains, demands an end to the blockade against Cuba, and voices concern over escalating tensions in West Asia, while avoiding direct mention of specific countries. HDFC Bank's board shortlists two candidates for top position Fast-tracking the process for selection and appointment of Sashidhar Jagdishan's successor, HDFC Bank's board on Saturday shortlisted two candidates whose names will be submitted to the RBI for approval. While the bank did not disclose the names, market participants indicate that the shortlist may have emerged from a pool including Paresh Sukthankar, K Balasubramanian, Vishaka Mulye, Jimmy Tata and Vibha Padalkar. The board also approved the creation of an additional Whole-Time Director position to strengthen succession planning, appointed Jimmy Tata as Executive Director, and re-appointed V Srinivasa Rangan as Executive Director. Tata Sons faces pressure to list after RBI rejects its de-registration as a core investment company Tata Sons Private Ltd will have to prepare for a stock market listing after the Reserve Bank of India rejected its application for de-registration as a Core Investment Company. The decision means Tata Sons will continue to remain on the RBI's list of Upper Layer Non-Banking Financial Companies, a classification that requires listing on stock exchanges. The development follows the RBI's August 6 release of the NBFC-UL list, which included Tata Sons while noting that its de-registration application was under examination. The move comes amid leadership developments within the Tata Group, including Noel Tata's growing influence through Tata Trusts and N Chandrasekaran's decision to step down as Chairman of Tata Sons when his term ends in February 2027.

First, we speak to The Indian Express' Diplomatic Affairs Editor Shubhajit Roy about the 18th BRICS summit in Delhi, disagreements over the war in West Asia, and the significance of Chinese President Xi Jinping's first visit to India in seven years.Next, we speak to The Indian Express' Anonna Dutt about the red warning labels that could soon appear on packaged foods, what they will tell consumers, and whether such front-of-pack warnings can influence purchasing decisions. (15:00)And in the end, we speak to The Indian Express' Sujit Bisoyi about five orangutans found in Odisha's Balasore district, the steps being taken to protect them, and suspicions that they were brought into India through an international wildlife-smuggling network.

Laith speaks on the current status within Lebanon, Syria and the shifting dynamics of power that Iran has managed to assert. These new material changes has exposed western failures in its goals for division and the growing momentum of revolutionary unity manifesting in Lebanon, Syria and West Asia as a whole.Laith Marouf is a long-time political activist, award-winning journalist, and political commentator working in media since 1999.

In this bonus episode of the In Focus podcast we have an excerpt from Global Faultlines, the Hindu's international affairs podcast. Yemen is no longer just the site of a devastating civil war. The Houthis have emerged as a powerful regional actor, capable of threatening Saudi Arabia, Israel and one of the world's most important maritime trade routes. In this episode, we examine how the Houthis transformed from a domestic insurgency into a regional military force, how the Gaza war expanded their role, and why Yemen has now become a new front in the Iran war. We look at the Houthis' relationship with Iran, the strategic importance of the Red Sea and Bab el-Mandeb, the renewed confrontation with Saudi Arabia, and what the escalation means for Yemen's already catastrophic humanitarian crisis. Can Yemen still find a political settlement, or has the rise of the Houthis permanently changed the balance of power in West Asia?

In the latest episode of Foreign Policy, Robert Inlakesh explains why the media lies to the public about the war on Yemen and why the latest escalations implicate the world beyond West Asia.  Since 2015, a concerted effort has been made to hide the truth. In this episode, we look into the hidden history of Yemen, why the Israelis are so invested, and debunk the popular myths about the ongoing war. !function(r,u,m,b,l,e){r._Rumble=b,r[b]||(r[b]=function(){(r[b]._=r[b]._||[]).push(arguments);if(r[b]._.length==1){l=u.createElement(m),e=u.getElementsByTagName(m)[0],l.async=1,l.src="https://rumble.com/embedJS/u2q643"+(arguments[1].video?'.'+arguments[1].video:'')+"/?url="+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+"&args="+encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify([].slice.apply(arguments))),e.parentNode.insertBefore(l,e)}})}(window, document, "script", "Rumble");   Rumble("play", {"video":"v7by2gk","div":"rumble_v7by2gk"});   Bitcoin Donations Are Appreciated: www.thelastamericanvagabond.com/bitcoin-donation (3FSozj9gQ1UniHvEiRmkPnXzHSVMc68U9f)

#cuttheclutter The focus has shifted from West Asia to Indo-Pacific because of two key reasons. Firstly, US Defence Policy Chief Elbridge Colby who is visiting Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, and Cambodia, has made some significant comments on Indo-Pacific. Secondly, Russian President Putin, for the first time visited the remote southern Kuril Islands in country's far east. Putin visited the dispute island of Iturup, also known as Etorofu in Japanese, drawing sharp reaction from Tokyo. #CutTheClutter Episode 1880 looks at these two events, their significance & how they have put Indo-Pacific back in focus. ThePrint Editor-In-Chief Shekhar Gupta also traces the longstanding dispute between Russia & Japan over Kuril Islands. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To Watch CTC : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1nJK7YvcQWw&list=PLfa0eRI2uIaR1iOJnq7tklxIJDLxTxI5y&index=1003 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- asusexpertbook  @ASUSIndia.official  Checkout the ASUS Expertbook series: https://www.flipkart.com/asus-expertbook-core-ultra-store

India's energy transition is unfolding against a backdrop of geopolitical uncertainty, volatile energy markets, and growing electricity demand. How should India navigate these competing pressures? In this episode, we are joined by Bill Spindle, a journalist who spent decades at The Wall Street Journal covering global finance, conflicts in West Asia, and, later, the global energy transition. We examine how regional conflicts are reshaping India's energy security. We also discuss the evolving role of coal and renewables, and why India's energy choices could determine the success of the global clean energy transition.Full transcript of the episode is available in English.

We start today's episode with some negligible Argentine world cup controversy, then move onto its idiotically colorful anarcho-capitalist president, Javier Milei and his notorious allegiances to both the state of Israel and trans-national tech billionaires like Peter Thiel. The US government wants to use the right-wing government of Argentina to serve as a mini Israel in the region - a bulwark against any left-wing movements in Latin America in order to bring it under the complete influence of the US and Israel. This is a complicated subject, but this initiative is founded on what are called the “Isaac Accords,” which are modeled after the Israeli normalization deal, the Abraham Accords, meant to establish US/Israeli hegemony over all the governments of West Asia. The core question here though, is “why are billionaires moving to Argentina?” Very excited for this episode, we've got a great guest and a lot to cover.You can follow Marianela here:https://www.instagram.com/thefuddhist/Source List:https://fortune.com/2026/07/16/the-global-rich-peter-thiel-safe-haven-argentina/https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/7/27/hondurass-hernandez-returns-home-after-trump-pardon-how-it-happenedhttps://www.reuters.com/world/europe/greenland-freedom-city-rich-donors-push-trump-tech-hub-up-north-2025-04-10/https://www.texastribune.org/2025/04/24/starbase-texas-election-space-x/https://www.prospera.co/en

In this timely teaching, Shunyamurti presents a sweeping analysis of humanity's current death spiral: the necrocosm, a civilization that has lost its reverence for life and all that is sacred—that is governed by death, distraction, and the negative commodification of consciousness. This shift is nowhere more evident than in the current West Asia conflict, which he describes as a "heartland war" deliberately choking the lifeblood of modern civilization by disrupting the fuel and supply systems upon which humanity depends. Yet beneath this stark and sobering diagnosis lies an inspiring and urgent message. The true crisis is not ultimately external, but internal. The ego itself is the program that convinces us we are guilty, worthless, separate from God, and destined to sabotage our own highest potential. As long as we remain identified with this false self, we waste the precious gift of human life. This teaching reveals how the ego was conditioned to perpetuate fear, shame, distraction, and self-destruction, and why only a complete return to our divine nature can free us from its grip.

There's an emerging consensus that China is among the chief beneficiaries of the escalating conflict between the United States and Iran. While Beijing has undoubtedly welcomed Washington becoming entangled in yet another war in West Asia, and continues to reap commercial gains from booming exports of electric vehicles and other technologies, the conflict is also exposing the limits of China's geopolitical influence. China is, first and foremost, a commercial power in the Persian Gulf. Beyond trade and investment, however, it has little diplomatic, political, or security leverage to shape the course of the conflict or influence the region's postwar order. Jonathan Fulton, an associate professor at Zayed University in Abu Dhabi and author of the China-MENA Newsletter, joins Eric to examine why China's economic footprint in the Gulf has not translated into strategic influence.

Hello and Welcome to colonial outcasts the anti-imperialist podcast that examines systems of coercion, violence, and exploitation and not vibes. We are sick of everyone doing vibes based-analyses like Kamala Harris's potential 2028 presidential campaign team who thinks that she just needs to get in with Mamdani and all the top-cop blood on her hands will be washed away. As the Iran war distance conflict resumes and the South of Lebanon continues to experience an entrenchment of occupation - we can also directly connect everything that's happening here in the Imperial Core, data centers, the expanding national security and surveillance state, anti-tech radicalism, to all violence being enacted overseas. Because we are adults who are adult enough to face uncomfortable truth's, namely “that it can absolutely happen here and is happening here. You remember how ICE has instituted “free speech zones” outside of their detention center at Delaney Hall in New Jersey? There is no basis in law for them to actually do this. But still, they're doing it, just like Israel is, in contravention of all international law, creating pilot zones in the south of Lebanon. Facists love Zones. Every single type of zone except autonomous zones. And We are returning now to West Asia.Today we are joined by Janet Abou-Elias, a researcher at the Democratizing Foreign Policy Project at the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft and a co-founder of Women for Weapons Trade Transparency. Her work focuses on U.S. law and foreign policy, emerging technologies, and U.S. arms sales.https://x.com/Janetabouelias

Welcome to Foreign Policy with Robert Inlakesh. In this addition Robert Inlakesh will look at the expansion of the US-Israeli war on Iran, its hidden blowback, and impending consequences. Trade routes blocked, another refugee crisis, expanding war fronts, and a global financial meltdown are just some of the symptoms of what could be the most dramatic war that appears to be opening across West Asia. !function(r,u,m,b,l,e){r._Rumble=b,r[b]||(r[b]=function(){(r[b]._=r[b]._||[]).push(arguments);if(r[b]._.length==1){l=u.createElement(m),e=u.getElementsByTagName(m)[0],l.async=1,l.src="https://rumble.com/embedJS/u2q643"+(arguments[1].video?'.'+arguments[1].video:'')+"/?url="+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+"&args="+encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify([].slice.apply(arguments))),e.parentNode.insertBefore(l,e)}})}(window, document, "script", "Rumble");   Rumble("play", {"video":"v7alqmq","div":"rumble_v7alqmq"});   Bitcoin Donations Are Appreciated: www.thelastamericanvagabond.com/bitcoin-donation (3FSozj9gQ1UniHvEiRmkPnXzHSVMc68U9f)

Since October 7, West Asia has witnessed a cascade of crises, from the war in Gaza, attacks on Red Sea shipping, to the fall of the Assad regime in Syria, and direct military confrontation between Israel and Iran. Together, these events have reshaped the region's geopolitical landscape. For India, the stakes are particularly high. New Delhi has spent years cultivating close ties with Israel, Iran, Saudi Arabia, the UAE and other Gulf states while pursuing a policy of strategic autonomy and multi-alignment. But as rivalries sharpen and instability becomes more persistent, can India continue to balance relationships with competing powers? Or does this new regional reality demand a rethink of its long-term strategy?

First, we speak with The Indian Express' Anonna Dutt about a brain-eating amoeba which is causing cases of Primary Amoebic Meningoencephalitis in Kerala. While the state saw just eight cases of the infection from 2016 to 2023, cases surged in the last two years. And in the last five months of this year alone, the cases in Kerala rose to 133 and 33 deaths. Anonna talks about the infection, the symptoms and what precautions to take. Next, we speak with The Indian Express' Ravi Dutta Mishra about the challenges being faced by Indian exporters due to the war in West Asia. He shares how opportunistic pricing practices by foreign shipping lines, along with additional charges imposed by port authorities are impacting the exporters and even after a potential deal between the US and Iran, the issues could continue for sometime.

In this episode of Shifting Ground, Nick Gvosdev and Larry Rubin are joined by Mohammed Soliman, Senior Fellow at the Middle East Institute and author of West Asia: A New American Grand Strategy in the Middle East. Soliman challenges our traditional geopolitical mental maps, arguing that the term “Middle East” no longer explains the realities of today's integrated political and economic landscape. Instead, he proposes viewing the region from the Mediterranean to the Indian Ocean as a single, cohesive space: “West Asia”. We dive deep into his thesis on how American grand strategy must adapt to an era where rigid, Cold War-style alliances are giving way to flexible, interest-based “minilateral” coalitions.

Myriam Charabaty, a Lebanese political analyst and journalist, joins Breht for a wide-ranging discussion on Lebanon, the struggle against imperialism and Zionism, the nature of solidarity and resistance, and the rapidly shifting political landscape of West Asia. Drawing from both personal experience and political analysis, Myriam helps unpack the history, forces, and contradictions shaping the country while challenging many of the assumptions commonly found in Western media and political discourse. The conversation ranges from questions of sovereignty, faith, and national liberation to the human realities of war, occupation, and collective struggle. Along the way, Breht and Myriam explore the relationship between Christianity, Islam, and anti-imperialism, the criminal pager terrorist attack by Israel, what meaningful solidarity from those of us in the imperial core looks like, the role of Hezbollah in Lebanese society, the religious diversity within Lebanon, and the challenges facing those committed to self-determination and liberation in an era of deepening global crisis.   Follow Myriam and her work: X: https://x.com/miriam00961 Substack: https://substack.com/@myriamch Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/liberationchronicles?igsh=c2NnenNscG5uZ3Zn   ---------------------------------------------------- Check out our NEW REV LEFT MERCH with Goods For The People HERE Support Rev Left and get access to bonus episodes: www.patreon.com/revleftradio Make a one-time donation to Rev Left at BuyMeACoffee.com/revleftradio Follow, Subscribe, & Learn more about Rev Left Radio https://revleftradio.com/

ThePrintPod: Pakistan's role in West Asia conflict mirrors a familiar pattern—use and discard by the US

Historian David Yaghoubian joins Rev Left Radio to discuss the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran, the genocide in Gaza, the assault on Lebanon, and the broader imperial-Zionist project to dominate West Asia. Drawing from his 2014 monograph Ethnicity, Identity, and the Development of Nationalism in Iran, Yaghoubian explains why Washington and Tel Aviv have repeatedly misunderstood Iranian society, underestimated Iranian national cohesion, and fantasized that sanctions, bombing, covert operations, or minority pressure could fracture the country from within. Together, Breht and David explore Iran's history of resisting foreign domination, the reactionary nature of the Iranian diaspora in the United States, the ethno-religious complexity of Iranian society, Iranian national cohesion, the strategic significance of the Strait of Hormuz, the relationship between Gaza, Lebanon, and Iran, and the ideological inversion through which the U.S. and Israel present themselves as defenders of "stability" while unleashing coups, sanctions, assassinations, occupations, and genocide across the region. They also discuss how anti-imperialists should defend Iran against U.S.-Zionist aggression without flattening Iranian society or denying its internal contradictions. This is a conversation about nationalism, sovereignty, resistance, and the failure of empire to understand the peoples it seeks to dominate. Dr. David N. Yaghoubian is Professor of Modern West Asian and Islamic History at California State University-San Bernardino and author of "Ethnicity, Identity, and the Development of Nationalism in Iran" (Syracuse, 2014) and co-editor of "Struggle and Survival in the Modern Middle East" (3rd edition forthcoming). ----------------------------------------- Check out a great new resource for revolutionary education, Unlearning Capitalism: https://unlearn.capital/ Support Rev Left and get access to bonus episodes: www.patreon.com/revleftradio   Make a one-time donation to Rev Left at BuyMeACoffee.com/revleftradio Follow, Subscribe, & Learn more about Rev Left Radio https://revleftradio.com/

For more than a decade, India has steadily deepened its ties with the Gulf while trying to balance competing interests across the region. But today, that strategy is under strain—thanks to the Iran conflict, shifting regional alignments, a reemerging Pakistan.  How is India being impacted by the Iran crisis? And what do these geopolitical shifts mean for India's West Asia policy?  To discuss these and other questions, Milan is joined on the show this week by Kabir Taneja. Kabir is the Executive Director of the Observer Research Foundation's Middle East office. He has worked extensively on India's relations with the Middle East, examining domestic political dynamics, terrorism, non-state militant actors, and the region's evolving security architecture. He is also the author of The ISIS Peril: The World's Most Feared Terror Group and Its Shadow on South Asia. Milan and Kabir discuss India's emerging political and strategic relationships in the Gulf, the risks the country faces from the Iran conflict, and the potential for India to play a larger regional security role in the Middle East. Plus, the two discuss Pakistan's frenetic diplomatic maneuvering and the state of Afghanistan-India ties. Episode notes: Kabir Taneja, “Pak Is Finally Back In Middle East's 'Good Books'.

Donald Trump claims Iran has been "militarily defeated", but many reports have come out showing this to be a lie. Tehran destroyed the majority of US military bases in West Asia (aka the Middle East), and Iran still maintains most of its missile capabilities. Meanwhile, experts estimate the USA's war against Iran will cost $1 trillion. Ben Norton reviews the evidence, showing how Washington is clearly losing this war that it started.

In this episode, Breht speaks with Mohanad Alsayed about his memoir Scars and Medals (Iskra Books), a powerful and deeply human account of growing up Palestinian under occupation, carrying exile across continents, and trying to make sense of memory, loss, family, and resistance. Through the story of his grandmother Jamila, his missing uncle Ghazi, and his own journey from Palestine to the United States, Alsayed offers an intimate portrait of how dispossession enters not only history and politics, but childhood, identity, and the inner life. The conversation explores occupation as a lived and psychological reality, the tension between assimilation and memory, the many meanings of resistance, and the current situation across West Asia - including how Palestinians view Iran. At once personal and collective, Scars and Medals opens onto the wider Palestinian experience with honesty, dignity, and emotional force.   Buy or get a FREE pdf of Scars and Medals here: https://www.iskrabooks.org/books/p/scars-and-medals   ----------------------------------------- Check out a great new resource for revolutionary education, Unlearning Capitalism: https://unlearn.capital/ Support Rev Left and get access to bonus episodes: www.patreon.com/revleftradio   Make a one-time donation to Rev Left at BuyMeACoffee.com/revleftradio Follow, Subscribe, & Learn more about Rev Left Radio https://revleftradio.com/

Tensions in West Asia are escalating fast. Trump is threatening Iran, while China and Pakistan step in with a surprise peace plan that could reshape the conflict—and global energy markets.

In this episode, Breht interviews Adnan Husain -- Professor of Medieval history and Chair of the Religious Studies department at Queens college -- about the deep historical roots of today's Middle East. The conversation traces the arc from ancient Persia to the Islamic era, explores how Iran became a center of Shi'a Islam, and examines the long rivalry between Persian and Ottoman power. Along the way, they unpack the Sunni-Shia split, the political role of Turkey in the region, the ways Western narratives about Islam were forged through the Crusades and carried forward into the modern world, Zionist Expansionism, and the ongoing illegal war of aggression waged by the U.S. and Israel against Iran, and indeed, the whole region.
