Hafta letters: Cognitive biases, discussions on religion, how Abhinandan doesn t age
NL subscribers get back with bouquets and brickbats!
Dear Team NL Hafta,
I have been listening to your podcast for over a year now. I took the subscription two months ago, as soon as I got the new job. I am just a small contributor, but I promise I will increase my monetary support as soon as I stabilise in my new job. If my writing is not correct grammatically, I want to apologise. I don t want my name to be mentioned.
I have a query about how you verify a story. Recently, there was a gruesome murder of Rinku Sharma in Delhi. The version of both police and the victim s family are different. The Delhi police is known for its incompetence and peddling of lies and particular narrative. So, which version should we as readers believe? In journalism, do you give importance to victim story or police story?
Indiaâs challenge is to avoid two-front war, but can Modi put politics aside for strategy?
India must break out of strategic triangulation with China & Pakistan. Before that, it must decide if itâll let domestic electoral interests limit its strategic options.

The disengagement at Pangong Tso has been completed in quick time. As new rounds of the corps commandersâ talks begin, you could also guardedly hope that the larger de-escalation is now a possibility.
Itâs a good moment to pause to reflect on whoâs won and/or lost what as relative peace becomes a more likely prospect than war. Our Northern Army Commander Lt Gen. Y.K. Joshi has already told us how close India and China were to a war during those fateful 48 hours when his troops climbed the dominating heights and key passes in the Pangong south bank and Kailash Range stretch west of Pangong-Moldo-Chushul.

New Delhi: India has always seen itself as a regional power and has wanted to dominate the Indian Ocean Region this is how Beijing perceives New Delhi’s strategic ambitions, according to a recently translated document on China’s military strategy.
The US-based China Aerospace Studies Institute (CASI) translated a 2013 document, which is a doctrine of China’s Academy of Military Sciences.
The document traces the evolution of India’s strategic thought as perceived by China and gives a broad outline of the People’s Liberation Army’s military strategy. Of note is the fact that such documents are drawn up only once in about every 13 years.
