What does development mean for a place like Lakshadweep? On paper, the islands do considerably better than most of India on development parameters such as literacy and women’s land rights. It is also largely a middle-class society. But this picture sits alongside a set of ecological and economic shifts that are reshaping how people live. Since the 1960s, the primary source of livelihood for the islands has been pole-and-line fishing for tuna, a practice that is low-volume and inherently su

The Mecca Accord between Saudi Arabia, Turkiye and Pakistan has raised some red flags in the region, and in India. One element remains unchanged: India’s value to Riyadh as an energy importer.
