good points when topic is related to foreign policy.
but when it came to domestic politics, they couldn't rise above their ideological leanings, of course PB mehta won't, dhume's wife won't.
case in point, when question on CAA came, all of them refrained themselves from clarifying what CAA is i.e CAA gives fast track citizenship to minorities of three islamic countries and does not deprive any Indian citizen of their citizenship. meaning they would rather allow issues to simmer rather than let the truth come out.

another of those cases of attempts to manufacture a new stick to beat India with, in continuation of indications that is popping up these days, that western think tanks have an issue with Modi emphasising Bharat as civilisational state. i suppose we are going to see more of this in coming years.
thankfully another of those rare occasions where non-mainstream ex-foreign service officers defends GoI's positioning (not the civilisational part). but retired foreign service officers need to ponder on the fact that, if western think tanks are getting jittery about this civilisational aspect, there must be some India advantage they see in it which they don't like.

pragmatic view on state of affairs by the ambassador.
brown coolies tried to corner him in Q&A, but he asked the right counter questions for them to ponder on, answers to which are beyond their pay grade, only murican establishment and pentagon can answer those.

The Trajectory of India-Russia Ties Amid the War in Ukraine
A Conversation with Ambassador Pankaj Saran For decades,
India and Russia have enjoyed positive bilateral relations, strong arms trade and expanding diplomatic cooperation across a wide breadth of issues. However, Russia’s war in Ukraine has exposed challenges in its defense production sector and alienated Moscow from the broader international community, posing challenges to its relationship with New Delhi. And as the United States and India seek to expand their relationship across the defense, diplomatic and political spheres, New Delhi’s commitments to Moscow have become more closely scrutinized since Russia’s full-scale invasion two years ago.
Join USIP for a conversation with Pankaj Saran, India’s former deputy national security advisor and former ambassador to Russia, that will examine the strengths and challenges of the India-Russia relationship two years into Russia’s war in Ukraine and the implications for the trajectory of U.S.-India relations.

Support for Hindu nationalism is widespread in the western diaspora, which both ends of the American political spectrum enable, in their own ways.

pretty sure, murican fandom on SM in India will cut clips and showcase as if garcetti is saying nice things about India.
the audience he is talking to are kids, as far as policy space is concerned it is as good as talking to an empty room.

Both sides discussing the behind the scenes events of the nuclear deal. The generation of American politicians and bureaucrats presented here won't come again as far as attitudes and optimism towards India is concerned. Along with a President like Bush who was determined to push things through with improving ties with India. Unfortunately we had congress at the helm which could neither take economic nor technological advantage of a once in a generation pro India environment in the US despite the deal. Also quite revealing that the American side asked "and what was Sonia Gandhi's opinion of the deal?".
