Latest column in Namaste Bharat newsmagazine

My latest column in Namaste Bharat magazine is out.

Please find screenshot of the Facebook post below.

My apologies - I have been so busy that I have not able to discuss my new column very much. The firs edition of the column presented a new Theory of Political Science.  

The recent events in Ukraine and Afghanistan simply prove how good a theory this is. In brief, the idea  is that there are certain countries in the Core (the Powerful countries, e.g., the leading members of the NATO) and then, there are certain countries in the Periphery (the less Powerful and the virtually Powerless countries, e.g., many of the countries in Africa, Ukraine). Within any given time period T: one or more of the countries in the Core essentially will act to destabilize one or more countries in the periphery. This is through various mechanism, both political and economic. 


This Theory is proposed as a rival Theory to the Clash of Civilizations Theory by Samuel Huntington. A better model of the world it certainly is, in my humble opinion. It is important to note that my theory came out before the denouement in Afghanistan and well before the events in Ukraine.

Update (as of Mar 23, 2022): updated with latest image. Namaste Bharat magazine has now been renamed. The new name for the magazine is Pravasi Indians.
