This week on #GrandTamasha, @clary_co of @ualbany talks to me about the unspoken moments of cooperation between India and Pakistan. Link to the full episode here: grand-tamasha.simplecast.com/episodes/when-…
When do India and Pakistan fight and when do they cooperate? This is the subject of @clary_co's new book and he's my guest this week on #GrandTamasha grand-tamasha.simplecast.com/episodes/when-…
Based on 75 years of history, what does the future of India-Pakistan relations hold? I put this question to @clary_co on #GrandTamasha this week. Here's what he had to say: grand-tamasha.simplecast.com/episodes/when-…

1/ There's been a recent uptick in interest on Indian democracy on this website. Here's a new, draft paper that attempts to examine one aspect of this debate--the apparent weakening of "referee" institutions vaishnavmilan.files.wordpress.com/2022/09/vaishn… Image
2/ This paper analyzes the behavior of three "referee" institutions—the Supreme Court, the Election Commission of India, and a clutch of horizontal federal accountability institutions—and their encounters with a new dominant political entity.
3/ The paper outlines three discernible patterns of interaction between the executive & referee institutions: deference, interference, and neglect. While not all institutions have experienced each of these dynamics in equal measure, they have all experienced at least one.

🇬🇧🇮🇳 1/ Today, we are releasing a detailed, new study on the political attitudes of British Indians. The Indian diaspora in the United Kingdom is now the largest immigrant group in the country. Yet, we know far too little about their political attitudes. bit.ly/3HwOPZF
2/ This report—by @CEDuckworth21, Devesh Kapur, and me—draws on a new, nationally representative survey of nearly 800 British Indian eligible voters conducted w/ @YouGov in August 2021. The survey has an overall margin of error of +/- 3.5 percent.
3/ This report provides an empirically robust and analytically nuanced picture of the attitudes of this increasingly important demographic. Some of our top-line findings follow:

1/ Some interesting insights from latest JP Morgan note on COVID crisis in India.

First, while aggregate *reported* cases have stabilized at 350K, seeing a rotation in states (test positivity rates in MH, CH, MP stabilizing while WB, UP, DL rising) markets.jpmorgan.com/research/email…
2/ Mobility/economic recovery indices have plummeted as rolling lockdowns become more prevalent markets.jpmorgan.com/research/email…
3/ Absolute pace of vaccinations has slowed from 3.4 million/day to 2.6 million/day over the last 10 days markets.jpmorgan.com/research/email…

1/ New @CarnegieEndow product: how is the world reacting to Biden's first 100 days? Perspectives on the EU, Middle East, China, Russia, and--yes--India carnegieendowment.org/2021/04/27/wor…
2/ Ashley J. Tellis' piece on US-India is well worth reading (as always). Key takeaway: "Trump’s defeat produced palpable uncertainties in New Delhi. One hundred days into Biden’s presidency, these doubts have not been erased, but they have been allayed." carnegieendowment.org/2021/04/27/wel…
3/ On the recent COVID brouhaha, Tellis writes: "Despite early fumbles, the administration’s support for India in managing its current spike in COVID-19 cases will hopefully deflate the unjustified complaints about the U.S. DPA being the principal cause of India’s vaccine woes."

1/ I've been helplessly watching the humanitarian crisis unfold in India. Friends' anxiety has turned to distress. Distress has turned to panic. Smart people in the US govt are working behind the scenes to help. But it's time for private deliberation to turn into public action.
2/ I'm no expert on public health or humanitarian crises, but I think there are at least four key elements of a response. First, we need to see senior U.S. leadership express solidarity with the Indian people. To Indians and Indian Americans, empathy will be welcome.
3/ Second, the US has the capacity to provide oxygen, ventilators, medication & emergency supplies. The public sector can galvanize private support. If the optics of the US Defense Dept delivering relief is problematic, there are other workarounds, including via 3rd countries.
