Marginalia: No OPEC Or A New OPEC?, 9 May 2022

Daily Hitavada - Nagpur, Raipur, Jabalpur and Bhopal Daily Excelsior - Jammu PBD Odisha - Cuttack and New Delhi Kashmir Monitor - Srinagar Brighter Kashmir - Srinagar Kashmir Images - Srinagar Kashmir Vision - Srinagar No OPEC Or A New OPEC? A recent bill approved by a US Senate committee, may empower the US administration to take action against the errant OPEC members, who are not ready to tow the US line on international oil prices.   After working on devising methods to counter moves by OPEC (Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries) - the largest consortium of oil producing nations across the globe, over the last two decades considered detrimental to the US interests and having failed several times, the US lawmakers have at last succeeded in bringing about a legislation, which could effectively counter the OPEC hegemony and any challenge to the American authority on global issues.    The on-going Russia-Ukraine war, which has crossed seventy days, was the key element influ

Marginalia: France rejects far-right, 1 May 2022

France rejects far-right The recent presidential elections in France have proved to bolster the far-right parties in the system, but the French electorate has rejected them, though very narrowly. French President Emmanuel Macron clinched another five-year term in the Elysée Palace, echoing sighs of relief, from Brussels to Washington. Macron beat out far-right nationalist Marine Le Pen in the presidential elections—a contest that risked shattering the Western alliance against Russia, and jeopardising the very survival of the European Union.   Back in 2017, 39-year-old Macron shot to power as an outsider, with a 32-point lead over Le Pen, by promising to modernize what he called a arthritic, over-regulated country. In the past five years, he streamlined French labour laws, scrapped the wealth tax. But he was forced to drop an increase in fuel tax, when the plan sparked the so-called “yellow vest” movement, with explosive protests rocking the country for months in 2018 and 2019. And as C

Marginalia: Indo-UK Ties On A New Track?, 24 April 2022

Indo-UK Ties On A New Track? The overall lacklustre visit to India by the British Prime Minister to India, underlines the fact that the UK can’t take India for granted, and has to treat it as a bigger partner.   In Persian there is an old proverb:  ‘Amad`an, nashist`am, ghuft`am, barkhas`tam’ , meaning they came, they sat, they talked and then dispersed. It actually means to say that nothing substantial was achieved by the visit or the talks. The same could be said about the recent visit by the British PM Boris Johnson to India, after his two previous visits scheduled last year, were cancelled due to Covid pandemic.   BoJo in India The diplomacy nowadays, thrives on optics. On this count the BoJo visit clicked all the boxes, but was also marred by angry reactions on the social media on photos showing him in the driver’s seat at a JCB bulldozer. Perhaps his advisers were unable to connect the continuing controversy over bulldozers being used by the establishment against the minorities a
