A video shared online left me aghast! It's not about Gen Z's it's about utter disrespect for our Armed Forces.

Is she really an Indian Taxpayer? Bye the way government taxes are applicable even to Armed Forces, uniformed men or women are not exempted.

Really feel Armed Forces shouldn't see this, else it will make them wonder are they really fighting for worthy citizens?

LAUNCH POST | THE FRAGILE LOGIC OF GREAT-POWER ENGAGEMENT

The United States and China are still talking—but dialogue should not be mistaken for trust.

Military hotlines, diplomatic meetings and working groups have returned because the consequences of miscalculation between the world's two largest powers have become too dangerous to ignore.
Behind this engagement, however, strategic competition is intensifying—from Taiwan and semiconductors to critical minerals, supply chains and military deterrence.

And the consequences extend far beyond Washington and Beijing.
For Africa, growing competition for cobalt, copper, lithium, markets and strategic corridors could create one of the continent's strongest negotiating positions in decades—provided strategic relevance can be converted into industrial capability.

In this TNH analysis, Justus Nam, former Foreign Service Officer and expert on Africa, examines why great-power engagement increasingly means managing rivalry rather than resolving it—and what this changing geopolitical landscape means for Africa.

STRATEGIC QUESTION | TNH POLL
Can economic connectivity succeed where conventional diplomacy struggles?

IMEC would cross one of the world's most politically complex regions—amid unresolved Saudi-Israeli relations, competing Gulf interests and continuing regional tensions.
Yet deeper cooperation over ports, railways, customs, cybersecurity, digital standards and logistics could gradually make disruption more costly and cooperation more valuable.

What could ultimately prove IMEC's greatest strategic contribution?
A. Faster India-Europe trade
B. Supply-chain resilience
C. Greater regional cooperation
D. Strategic alternative to competing corridors

TNH EXPLAINS | WHY IMEC MATTERS

Four strategic takeaways from the emerging IMEC architecture:
1 | INDIA AS THE EASTERN ANCHOR
India brings market scale, maritime capability, digital infrastructure and growing influence across the Global South—making IMEC increasingly relevant to India's security and global positioning.

2 | REDUNDANCY = SECURITY
Alternative maritime and overland pathways could make trade networks more resilient when established routes face disruption.

3 | SECURITY OF CONNECTIVITY
Protecting ports, digital networks, supply chains and critical infrastructure is becoming as strategically important as protecting borders.

4 | CONNECTIVITY CAN BUILD TRUST
Cooperation on customs, logistics, cybersecurity and digital standards could create what the article describes as “functional normalisation”—practical cooperation despite continuing political differences.

IMEC is therefore not simply about moving goods. It is potentially about reshaping relationships.

INDIA AND THE AGE OF UNDECLARED WAR
By Lt Gen A B Shivane (R) | For The News Analytics Herald

~ Grey zone conflicts increasingly blur the distinction between peace, coercion and conventional warfare.

~ Cyber, economic and information domains now shape twenty-first-century strategic competition and influence.

~ Artificial intelligence dramatically amplifies cyberattacks, disinformation campaigns and narrative warfare capabilities.

~ India requires integrated national institutions to counter evolving hybrid and grey zone threats.

~ Future national security demands military strength alongside economic, technological and societal resilience.

TNH INSIGHT | KEY STRATEGIC CONCLUSION
IMEC's real strategic value may not be speed—it may be resilience.
Recent crises have demonstrated that military deterrence alone cannot protect global commerce. Ports, shipping lanes, energy networks and digital infrastructure remain vulnerable even when conventional military escalation is contained.
IMEC introduces a different layer of security: strategic redundancy.
By creating alternative maritime and overland connections between India and Europe through the Gulf and Eastern Mediterranean, the corridor could reduce dependence on individual vulnerable routes.

The larger strategic shift is significant:
Security is moving beyond protecting territory towards protecting connectivity. In an era of persistent disruption, infrastructure itself is becoming an instrument of national security.

LAUNCH POST | INDIA, IMEC AND THE NEW GEOPOLITICS OF CONNECTIVITY

Can a trade corridor become an instrument of security?
The turmoil across West Asia has exposed the vulnerability of global trade routes—from disruptions in the Red Sea to continuing concerns surrounding critical maritime chokepoints.
Yet these crises may be strengthening, rather than weakening, the strategic case for the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor (IMEC).

Connecting India, the Gulf and Europe through maritime, rail, energy and digital networks, IMEC represents more than infrastructure. It could provide strategic redundancy, supply-chain resilience and a new architecture of regional cooperation.
In this TNH analysis, Dr. Lauren Dagan Amos examines India's position as IMEC's eastern strategic anchor, Israel's potential role in securing connectivity, Türkiye's exclusion, and how economic interdependence could gradually reshape regional relationships.
