Strategic Communication, Manufacturing of Narratives and India–ASEAN Relations

Publisher: Pentagon Press

In a world where perception dictates power, the book Strategic Communication, Manufacturing of Narratives and India–ASEAN Relations uncovers the hidden architecture of influence shaping Southeast Asia. This critical study deconstructs how ASEAN media "re-presents" India, revealing a systemic "visibility without intimacy" that reduces a complex civilization to a mere geopolitical utility. By exposing the "information colonialism" of Western wire services and the calculated editorial logics of regional states, the work challenges the very foundations of contemporary diplomacy. It is an essential roadmap for understanding the battle for narrative autonomy in the Southeast Asia.

The Race for Tech Supremacy between US and China: Implications for the World, US and India

The unravelling race for tech supremacy, as a microcosm of the macro trade war between US and China, can be depicted as Tech Race 2.0. In some ways, this is akin to the Space Race that unfolded between the US and the erstwhile USSR in the 1950s and 1960s, which eventually turned in favour of the US, given its fundamentals being firmly grounded in democracy, freedom of speech and robust innovation and business ecosystems. Since China shares some of the key elements that the Soviet Union had, it is likely that history can be repeated provided the US is fully aware of the challenges emanating from China and takes necessary steps by investing in the state-of-the-art technologies. The implications of the US losing the race could be far-reaching not only for the US, but also for the entire global order built on the liberal principles and values. The same is applicable for India since it shares a border with China and the border conflict continues to persist. Therefore, it is imperative to save the global community from the dangers of authoritarian leaders and countries winning the race.
