#India is the largest consumer of Scotch #whisky, a taste acquired from the #Scottish and long a favourite of Mumbaikars. Like whisky, many other Scottish roots in the city remain little known. @sifralentin explores this unique history of Scots in #Bombay: #_ftn6" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">gatewayhouse.in/the-scottish-e…

How India and the USA are finding options for Chinese goods and trade routes. Scintillating talk on the upcoming IMEC corridor hosted by @ManjeetKrip and @sifralentin Amit Bhandari #rcb The ancient history and modern geo politics of this game changing land by train and sea route that India has quietly been working so hard at, will put India on the global trading map alongside its partners. Beginning in India via UAE, Saudi Arabia and Israel it will end in Northern Germany. It was proposed in 2023 at the G2 by @narendramodi India will have 3 ports including one in Mumbai and an artificial island is being built off Palghar to accommodate huge cargo ships. Sifra discussed how this route has existed in ancient history thousands of years before the Silk Route and took us through ancient trading histories emphasising how important human connections and collaborations are for peace and prosperity. The Houthi terrorists have badly damaged trade in the Suez Canal and the China led BRI corridor has proven very damaging to its partners Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh all in turmoil and defaulting on loans. IMEC promises to be a more equal partnership and a far shorter and more efficient route for cargo and Data. While US isn’t physically a part of it they have supported the project because and I assume it is a safer alternative to dealing China and Iran. Great news!!! Go India🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

Without long-term policy efforts to ameliorate the political and economic situation along the border, ending the FMR and fencing the Indo-Myanmar border is unlikely to resolve India’s security problems - writes @bhatia_rk, @GatewayHouseIND cc: @vkumar1969 @himanshu_ifs
Gateway House@GatewayHouseIND

Several reports suggest that #India is considering to abolish the 🇮🇳-🇲🇲 FMR due to #political & #security crises in #Myanmar and #Manipur. @bhatia_rk provides a balanced view in @htTweets of this development keeping in mind the political, economic, and strategic considerations.

Celebrated my most treasured and beloved French teacher Mrs Perreira's 79th birthday. For all you Bandra buggers out there, she taught English and French at St. Theresa's Boys High School for decades.
