| 11/13/22 | Episode 39 Tight Rope Walk for Indian Diplomacy | India Rising: Strategic Affairs Conversations with Mohal and Kishor @mohaljoshi @veggiediplomat From China to Pakistan, from the United States to Russia, India is facing tremendous challenges in engaging with global powers during these troubled times. Under the erudite MEA S Jaishankar, New Delhi has been able to not only put forth its position on varied issues, but also winning praise for its unbiased stand.

The economic crisis in Pakistan has now led to a political crisis eventually leading to the replacement of Imran Khan with Shahbaz Sharif. In Sri Lanka, the Gotabaya Rajapaksa administration finds itself cornered unable to manage the economy and is on the verge of defaulting its payment of international debts. #Pakistan #ImranKhan #ShahbazSharif #GeneralQamarJavedBajwa #PTI #SriLanka #GotabayaRajapaksa #MahindaRajapaksa #IMFBailout #IndianAssistance | — | ||||||

| 7/8/21 | Episode 34 1 Year Since LAC Skirmish | India Rising: Strategic Affairs Conversations with Mohal and Kishor @mohaljoshi @veggiediplomat A year ago during the summer of 2020 when the world in general and India specifically was reeling under the full brunt of the Covid-19 pandemic, the soldiers of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) came up to the Line of Actual Control to occupy strategic areas across the perceived LAC (Line of Actual Control) just as the snow was melting during the summer months. It’s been a year now and instead of the situation easing off, we have heard of soldiers from both sides digging their heels. The fact that the issue isn’t grabbing the headlines doesn’t mean that the issue has gone away.

| 6/5/21 | Episode 33 Israel Hamas Conflict | India Rising: Strategic Affairs Conversations with Mohal and Kishor @mohaljoshi @veggiediplomat The month of Ramadan is generally tense in Jerusalem. The Palestinian Arabs wish to pray in the Al Aqsa mosque which is situated in the walled Old City. And fearing unrest, Israel deploys its defence forces to control the crowds who come to pray over there. This year was no different. However, what added to the already tense situation was the verdict about the ownership of land in the Sheikh Jarrah neighbourhood in East Jerusalem in addition to the Jerusalem Day celebrations planned by ultra right wing parties in Israel. This led to a highly volatile situation which was milked by the Hamas militant group in a rather unexpected fashion. In this episode we dig deep into what triggered the crisis and what was India’s stand in the whole situation.

| 2/28/21 | Episode 32 India Achieves Disengagement At LAC and Ceasefire At LOC | India Rising: Strategic Affairs Conversations with Mohal and Kishor @mohaljoshi @veggiediplomat Just about 2 months ago, India was sceptical about the possibility of getting involved in a two front war. Surprisingly, India has managed to achieve not just a disengagement by the Chinese People's Liberation Army at the Line of Actual Control in Pangong Tso region but also a commitment to ceasefire by the Pakistan Army along the Line of Control. How did India manage it and what are its implications?
