‘In Honour of William Shakespeare’: Tagore in the Garden of Shakespeare’s Birthplace

The article first appeared in The Wire on May 4, 2025. Within 15 days of William Shakespeare’s birthday, April 23, Bengalese, in particular, celebrate the birthday of their undisputed icon – Rabindranath Tagore – with pomp and show.

How golden ages really start—and end

The article first appeared in the Economist on May 1, 2025. The way to start a “golden age” is to erect big, beautiful barriers to keep out foreign goods and people. That, at least, is the view of the most powerful man on the planet. Johan Norberg, a Swedish historian, makes the opposite case.

Many Australians—and migrants drawn by sunshine and a high quality of life—are finding it harder to afford a place of their own. Over the past 25 years house prices have doubled relative to incomes. The rental market is swamped with demand and starved of supply. To show the strain, we turned to our “Carrie Bradshaw index”—a simple measure of how much someone must earn to live alone, as the “Sex and the City” protagonist famously does...

Are India-UK Ties on Track to Achieve Vision 2030?

The article first appeared in The Diplomat on March 14, 2025.

Recent developments on the defense and security front confirm the positive momentum in bilateral ties. But practical steps in difficult areas are needed.

On March 9, Indian Minister of External Affairs S. Jaishankar concluded a 6-day trip to the United Kingdom and Ireland, which was hailed as having injected a “fresh momentum” into the partnership.
