Modi’s scheduled UAE stopover on Friday, just days after an Iranian strike on the Fujairah Petroleum Industries Zone (FOIZ), signals India’s readiness to safeguard its energy interests and the 3.5 million-strong Indian diaspora in the UAE, even as they find themselves on the front lines of a Middle Eastern conflict. Modi has transformed the UAE-India relationship into a close strategic and economic partnership, with the two countries increasingly moving toward security cooperation. Meanwhile, Fujairah — the UAE’s only multipurpose port on the Gulf of Oman, located outside the volatile Strait of Hormuz — has emerged as India’s “safety valve” for oil and gas imports. The stopover underscores India’s determination to secure more resilient energy supply chains less dependent on transit through the Strait of Hormuz.

Police shaming of arrestees has become such a normalized act of “heroism” that the State & people no longer even register it as the shameful crime it is. Glad that the HC has come down hard on this hooliganism dressed up as “heroism.”
