Implications of the Sarabjit Singh episode for India by Rajeev Sharma May 2, 2013 The death of Sarabjit Singh in a Pakistani hospital, announced in the wee hours of 2 May, conveys a dangerous portent to the Indian strategic establishment at a time when the ongoing Chinese incursion in Depsang Valley of Ladakh has already entered its third week. It conveys that the much-feared pincer threat to Indian geopolitical interests from Pakistan and China may well become a reality in the near future if India does not take effective preventive measures in double quick time. Sarabjit’s death is nothing but an extra judicial killing, possibly choreographed by Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and Tehreek-e-T...

Expats, read this for your own good by Rajeev Sharma Apr 6, 2013 There is good news for 6.5 million Indian expatriates in the Gulf, a large number of whom are blue collar workers. Before we elaborate how, consider the two following scenarios — both apparently contradictory and portrayed by a senior Indian diplomat on record; but thereby hangs a tale. Scenario 1 Some 250 Punjabi workers went to a Gulf country not too long ago on the promise that they will work in an American camp, live in air-conditioned comfort, have pizzas and burgers for lunch and dinner and will have a salary of thousand dollars. When they landed in that country they found there was no American camp; they were wor...

Natural partners: Why India needs to get closer to Japan by Rajeev Sharma Mar 31, 2013 The coming few months are going to be crucial for the Indian diplomacy even though the Indian politics is in a tailspin and the UPA government not in the pink of health. India is set to intensify its bilateral engagement with such major world powers as Germany, Japan and China. Perhaps the most defining of these engagements would be with Japan, a “swing” country for India to counterbalance the China factor. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is likely to visit Japan by May-end; but more about it slightly later. In June, India is hosting the next IBSA (India, Brazil, South Africa) summit, whose biggest U...

When Manmohan Singh flew over the domestic nest by Rajeev Sharma In a nutshell, the news from the horse’s mouth is this: he is neither tired nor retired; his government is going to complete full term; the elections will take place on schedule; and the most pressing reforms will still be pushed by the UPA government though “coalitions face issues”. Manmohan Singh , who is on course to enter 10th consecutive year as prime minister, is most vocal whenever he is returning home from a foreign trip and addressing a customary on-board press conference on Air India One. That’s why his on-board press conferences during his flight back home from a foreign trip are important occasions to get to know ...

China’s Brics bank proposal bamboozles deficit-ridden India by Rajeev Sharma Brics bank may be a good concept to catalyze development within Brics member countries and some least developed countries of the Third World; but it is an idea that has come a bit too soon. Brics leaders will have to ensure that they work more on the concept and take more time to deliver a healthy David to survive the seven-decade-old global dominance by the Bretton Woods Goliaths of World Bank and International Monetary Fund. It is important that the grouping first fastens the nuts and bolts of what exactly the proposed Brics development bank will do and also prepares the blueprint of the hows, the whys, the ...

India walks diplomatic tightrope over Sri Lanka by Rajeev Sharma Few diplomatic events would have had India donning different caps simultaneously in different venues as the voting on a United States-sponsored resolution against Sri Lanka at the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) in Geneva today. The resolution was finally carried with 25 votes for, 13 against and eight abstentions. India hunted with the hound and ran with the hare. India was the destroyer; India was also the protector. The Indian elephant exhibited two separate sets of teeth – one for eating the other only for showing. This, in a nutshell, is the crux of the cloak-and-dagger kind of operation that India has been c...

Italian marines case: Conspiracy theorists, read these documents Mar 12, 2013 By Rajeev Sharma The Indian government has had a poor track record of being soft on foreigners wanted in criminal cases in India. The list is long but to name a few – Italian Ottavio Quattrocchhi, American Warren Anderson, Danish Kim Davy and Britisher Peter Bleach (who was given a Presidential pardon in 2004 in the Purulia arms drop case of 1995 under intense pressure of the British government). Interestingly, except for Bleach, in all other cases the benefactor was the Congress government. Davy had escaped during the PV Narasimha Rao government’s tenure, while it was the Atal Behari Vajpayee government which had...

Was Ashraf’s private visit a success or a disaster for India? By Rajeev Sharma Pakistani Prime Minister Raja Pervez Ashraf has come and gone after his day-long private visit to Jaipur and Ajmer on Saturday. A striking aspect is that the event passed off without Ashraf scoring any brownie point against the Indians. Pakistani leaders have often proven to be unguided missiles and are known to have bamboozled the Indian leadership with their balderdash during their India visits which are invariably high-octane irrespective of the fact whether such visits are official or private. Ashraf’s private visit passed off without the usual Pakistani one-up-manship. This was despite the fact that External...
