Why I Dare to Critique the Worldviews of both Samuel Huntington and John Mearsheimer
by M.K. Sudarshan August 6, 2026: Chennai, India IntroductionThe global architecture is fracturing in real-time. From the devastating missile strikes in the Persian Gulf to the shifting security matrices of the Indo-Pacific, the modern world feels increasingly chaotic. To make sense of it all, the foreign policy establishment routinely relies on two towering academic frameworks:Continue reading “Why I Dare to Critique the Worldviews of both Samuel Huntington and John Mearsheimer”
न्याय की ढलती सांझ: महाभारत के समय-कूप से उपजी एक परमाणु गाथा
by M.K.Sudarshan July 20, 2026: Chennai, India महाभारत से प्रेरित एक काल्पनिक पुनर्कथन संयुक्त राष्ट्र महासभा के भव्य कक्ष पर एक अकल्पनीय, दम घोंटने वाला साया मंडरा रहा है, जिसने वैश्विक महाशक्तियों की पूरी व्यवस्था को एक भयावह और पूर्ण जड़ता में तब्दील कर दिया है। स्तब्ध और अवाक खड़े वैश्विक नेताओं के सामने एकContinue reading “न्याय की ढलती सांझ: महाभारत के समय-कूप से उपजी एक परमाणु गाथा”
The Arc of a Brave New 22nd Century World… the Bhagavad Gītā, and the Bible – Part 3 (CONCLUDED)
Confronted with such a pattern, it is unsurprising that two great scriptures of the world — one recent in history, and the other very ancient — the Bible and the Bhagavad Gītā speak not in the language of dispassionate geopolitics, but in the idiom of divine justice and cosmic rectification. It is cruel irony, perhaps,Continue reading “The Arc of a Brave New 22nd Century World… the Bhagavad Gītā, and the Bible – Part 3 (CONCLUDED)”
The Arc of Human Sorrow – Part 1 of 3
I. The Arc of Human Sorrow in the World If one were to trace, on a single map, the heaviest concentration of war, pillage, and displacement across human history, the line would run from Libya through Anatolia, the Levant, Mesopotamia, and Persia—an arc that has, for millennia, been less a geographical accident than a structuralContinue reading “The Arc of Human Sorrow – Part 1 of 3”
Post-Iran attack on February 28, 2026, The World can kiss “New World Order” goodbye.
The day after the Israeli-American attack on Iran and the killing of Ayatollah Khomeini, I couldn’t help falling into a self-introspective mood. Looking back at history, I thought to myself, wasn’t the world always better off when there were many little rogue-nations that nevertheless minded their own business and backyards than now, in sad contrast,Continue reading “Post-Iran attack on February 28, 2026, The World can kiss “New World Order” goodbye.”
Macroeconomics they never taught me at university : “The Zelensky Effect”
One of the important lessons in modern economics they never formally taught me when I was at university is that when faced with impending woe and imminent recession, the two most effective policy-measures a nation’s leaders will resort to while trying to dig themselves out of the hole they themselves in the first place dugContinue reading “Macroeconomics they never taught me at university : “The Zelensky Effect””
A rare piece of irreverent yet so refreshingly truthful journalism
The essay below is a rollicking, bawdy read. It’s full of bar-room profanity typically of the American kind. Such a profusion of choicest four-letter expletives in what purports to be a dubious Op-Ed piece made even me blush a little … and I’m no prude when it comes to occasionally using unparliamentary “pardon myContinue reading “A rare piece of irreverent yet so refreshingly truthful journalism”
A Theatre of the Absurd in the world of Western Diplomacy
Two years into the War that has set Ukraine aflame and is nearly destroying the country, America and the EU — so-called NATO allies — now seem to be dancing around each other in a macabre embrace of death. Last week President Macron embarrassed President Biden by dropping a diplomatic grenade at a EU summitContinue reading “A Theatre of the Absurd in the world of Western Diplomacy”
What has AMERICA really gained from, or hope to gain, from the Ukraine War ? Does anyone in the world really know ?
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2023/07/ukraine_an_expendable_country_may_soon_run_out_of_expendables.html Pretty grim and sad reading indeed is the above very well-informed analysis on the current status of the Ukraine war. If has been forwarded to me by very good friend and ex-colleague, Mr. Igor Afansiev, a Ukrainian national himself, who had been forced to leave last year his native city of Kiev, along withContinue reading “What has AMERICA really gained from, or hope to gain, from the Ukraine War ?
