Why Turkiye has chosen to side with Pakistan over India

1 week ago | 360info.org | Bharat Bhushan

India must be worried that the securitisation of South Asia has helped China, Turkiye, and other powers find new defence partnerships in its neighbourhood. In the recent India-Pakistan military conflict, Turkiye stood steadfast in offering unambiguous support to Pakistan before and after the conflict. Sources close to the Turkish government claimed that Turkish cargo planes carried military supplies to Pakistan, although this was denied by Turkish officials.

Managing air quality by airshed, not by city administrative boundaries, is essential for moving towards cleaner air in India.
India out of work: Unemployed youth become ‘discouraged workers’

2 weeks ago | 360info.org | Bharat Bhushan

About 28 million unemployed educated youth in India are looking for jobs. And about 100 million, mostly women, have stopped looking for jobs. The employment rate, or the share of the working-age and youth population finding work, is falling in India. Our own study, based on an Indian government agency data, however, shows, that this is not the case.
How India can keep cool as heatwaves grow

2 weeks ago | 360info.org | Bharat Bhushan

India has a unique opportunity to embed thermal comfort as a foundational principle of future urban development. As heatwaves grow more intense with rising temperatures and dense urban population, millions—especially in poorly ventilated informal settlements—face increasing thermal stress. This is likely to result in health risks, lost productivity and higher healthcare costs – especially in vulnerable groups such as children, the elderly and outdoor workers.
How India is reducing dependence on China for rare earth minerals

2 weeks ago | 360info.org | Bharat Bhushan

Through recycling, R&D and diversifying imports as well as by facilitating a regional market for rare earth minerals, the dependence on the Chinese supply chain can be reduced. Critical minerals, particularly rare earth elements (REEs), are crucial for the green energy transition. These REEs are a subset of critical minerals, comprising 17 elements in the periodic table (from 57 to 71) starting with lanthanum. They also include scandium and yttrium.
Counting castes, counting inequalities in India

A caste census could pave the way for fair and targeted policies, equitable resource allocation and meaningful affirmative action.
Will India-Pakistan military conflict lead to strategic stability in South Asia?

3 weeks ago | 360info.org | Bharat Bhushan

Whether India’s military action against Pakistan becomes a turning point for stability or a prelude to greater instability depends not only on weapons but also on wisdom. For decades, the spectre of nuclear war has shaped the India-Pakistan relationship, keeping conventional conflict carefully contained. All this changed on May 7, 2025, when India took a step it had long resisted.
Why US-China trade talks may not lead to a comprehensive deal

3 weeks ago | 360info.org | Bharat Bhushan

If the US pressures China to free-float the yuan, increase market access for its companies and go for full capital account convertibility, a trade deal is unlikely. After much fanfare, fiery rhetoric, tensions and delays which increased friction in the US-China bilateral relationship, US-China trade talks began in Geneva, Switzerland last weekend. After the first round of talks on May 10, President Donald Trump remarked, “A very good meeting today with China, in Switzerland.
India’s Indus bargain needs a cohesive strategy not coercion

1 month ago | 360info.org | Bharat Bhushan

While the Indus Waters Treaty has survived three India-Pakistan wars, the pattern of interaction between the two countries on sharing the waters of the Indus Basin has been conflictual rather than cooperative. As the conflict escalates post Operation Sindoor, it is pertinent how India recalibrates the link between water and terrorism. Some claim India has weaponised the Indus Waters Treaty by putting it in ‘abeyance’, an action that can have regional ramifications.
Regional inequity in menstrual health persists in India

Mar 6, 2025 | 360info.org | Karan Babbar

Central, eastern and northeastern India lag behind in access to the government’s menstrual health and hygiene programmes. This needs to change. India has made significant progress in addressing menstrual health and hygiene (MHH), with initiatives such as the Menstrual Hygiene Scheme contributing to a substantial increase in access to period products. However, true menstrual equity remains a distant dream for many, particularly in underserved regions.
