My India journey started with Mahakumbh, followed by a conference on geopolitics. The world is changing, and we need to focus on the motivations behind these changes.
The elite are working hard to create an army of Non-Player Characters (NPCs) - like those in video games. Exercise of agency can move us from beings cogs to game changers. And that is at the root of our civilization as we know it.
USAID is being dismantled. Contrary to what the moral busybodies declare, the aid infrastructure of the West has actively subverted other societies. Its only when it turned inwards with the same zeal that it is now being dismantled - brick by brick.
Pakistan’s decision to ban the Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) is farcical. The same organisation had been banned twice earlier, in 2008 and again last year. How many more times can the same organisation be banned? In this interview with SNI, Prem Mahadevan, a well known Switzerland based researcher and analyst on international terrorism, says that the activities of the Lashkar-e-Toiba (the parent of the JuD), are currently “on hold” because it is now recognised for what it is. The Jaish-e-Mohammad is relatively less known and gives Pakistan deniability. Mahadevan believes that diplomacy backed by covert strikes, perhaps in Pak Occupied Kashmir (PoK) are a better alternative to overt strikes. But he acknowledges that public anger may leave the government with no option but to carry out an overt strike. #India #Pakistan #Pulwama
