In this episode of Beyond the Indus, Siddhant Kishore, a New Delhi and Washington D.C.-based national security and foreign policy analyst, and former analyst at the Institute for the Study of War, joins host Tushar Shetty to examine the BRICS summit in New Delhi and the strategic realignment underway across Asia.
They discuss the consensus preserved in the New Delhi Declaration and India’s diplomatic win on Pahalgam, the tactical stabilization between New Delhi and Beijing and why it falls short of realignment, the costly Iran-U.S. stalemate and Washington’s undefined war aim, the Houthi advance on the Bab al-Mandeb and the reconstitution of Iran’s proxy network, the operational hollowness of the Mecca Joint Defense Agreement, and the hedging by U.S. allies as Washington’s security commitments turn conditional.
