In five years, #JoeBiden will likely get the #NobelPeacePrize. But not because he did anything proactively for peace.
It is because a #Multipolar World will be more peaceful than a unipolar one, and Biden has done more than anyone else (albeit unwittingly) to further that. (1/n)

The US-led #sanctions against #Russia in response to the #UkraineRussiaWar have forced countries around the world to abandon the US dollar as a medium of trade. This is forcing the rest of the world (non-West) together. Banning Russia from #swift was most important in this. (2/n)

The "Integrated country strategy" with #SriLanka will likely be our template for #BharatVarsh as a union of #Indic civilization.
Interesting to note that instead of imposing ourselves we've let the #SriLanka govt outline the details of the integration process on their terms.

A detailed description of what they're looking at below . In essence seems to be much like a federation of union of states .Better for the people of both nations .
Russia went straight to Dand .
We try to stay between Saam & Daam use Bhedh if necessary as a measure of Dand .

WHERE ON EARTH IS UKRAINE? A BRIEF REFLECTION ON RECENT GERMAN TALK SHOWS
1. No paradigm shift has yet happened in public German perceptions of the "#RussianWar:" For most politicians and commentators, #Ukraine keeps being far away. @UKRinDEU @GermanyinUA
1. No paradigm shift has yet happened in public German perceptions of the "#RussianWar:" For most politicians and commentators, #Ukraine keeps being far away. @UKRinDEU @GermanyinUA
2. Many #Germans subconsciously picture the war the following way. Of course, we are aware that formally #Ukraine is close. But, deep in our souls, we know that Ukraine lies between #Tibet and #Bhutan. Our #Germany, in contrast, is here, close, safe, and warm.
3. We want to keep it that way. Ukraine will have no choice but to stay behind the Himalayas while we will continue living in our old home, the #EU-#NATO continent. Such is life... Sure, we have lots of interest, empathy, and respect for #Ukrainians.

As #china claimed the Sakteng wildlife sanctuary in eastern #bhutan in June 2020—in likely an effort to sow further confusion—it built a new track to one of four new areas cleared for construction in the Dramana and Shakhatoe areas of western Bhutan. shorturl.at/gipNW
Given the Ladakh crisis that had just begun, it’s likely decision makers were off-balance as China exerted additional pressure with new deployments along the LAC, some of which we still see today. (imagery: @planet)
Furthermore, construction activity has also been monitored in the Langmarpo valley and further south on the Doklam plateau. Several areas have been cleared and we expect additional construction activity in 2022. Here's an area with new foundations (imagery: @capellaspace)

1/ On #Tibet in the Indian imagination:
Yesterday, we looked at how #Tibetans perceived India+ how the @DalaiLama walked in the path of many of his countrymen before him when he came into exile in India.
Let's turn the gaze in the other direction today.

2/ Indians have at least two vantage points from where to view #Tibet. Parts of #Himalayan India border Tibet👇. Thanks to older connections of religious patronage, pilgrimage, and trade, the perspective from these regions is often v. diff from the capital in New Delhi.

3/ Indian cities of Gaya, Sanchi+ Sarnath were imp pilgrimage sites for Tibetan Buddhists; as was Kailash Mansarovar in Tibet for Hindu+ Buddhist pilgrims from India. The imagination of an “Akhand Bharat” (Undivided India) often included #Tibet.

On the @DalaiLama & India:
1/ Many of us know that the 14th @DalaiLama has been living in #exile in #Himalayan town of #Dharamsala in northern India since 31 Mar 1959.

Was he blazing a trail w/ his escape?

2/ Second question first: No, he wasn't.
In coming to India, the @DalaiLama trod the path of many #Tibetans before him-- traders+ aristocrats, monastics+ laity, and his predecessor, the 13th #DalaiLama, Thupten Gyatso, who had lived in exile in British India from 1910-12.

3/ Aristocratic families in #Tibet were closely tied in networks of monastic patronage, intermarriage +trade w/ eastern #Himalayan kingdoms of #Bhutan+ #Sikkim. The British Political Officer in Sikkim kept close watch on these alliances. Here he is w/ the 13th #DalaiLama👇.

Nov 11 is Constitution Day in Bhutan, the birthday of Bhutan's 4th King, Jigme Singye Wangchuck; monarch at the age of 19, the father of Gross National Happiness, the man who scripted Bhutan's journey to democracy, lovingly called K4. Thread. #Bhutan #November11
When Jigme Singye Wangchuck was crowned
as Bhutan’s fourth hereditary monarch after his father's untimely death at 42, the prince became in 1974 the world’s youngest head of state and monarch. The oldest on throne was 82 yr old Haile Selassie of Ethiopia.

Times were troubled toward the year of his succession. Tibet was swallowed by Communist China. Peking was claiming Bhutan 'as lost territory.'
A plot on the Crown Prince’s life was also reported in the 70s. There were apprehensions whether he would be able to take charge.

#China Is Building Entire Villages in Another Country’s Territory
Since 2015, a new network of roads, buildings & military outposts has been constructed deep in a sacred valley in #Bhutan
it openly violates China’s founding treaty with Bhutan.

2) This involves a strategy that is more provocative than anything China has done on its land borders in the past.
The settlement of an entire area within another country goes far beyond the forward patrolling and occasional road-building that led to war with India in 1962.

3) By mirroring in the Himalayas the provocative tactics it has used in the #SouthChinaSea, Beijing is risking its relations with its neighbors, whose needs and interests it has always claimed to respect, and jeopardizing its reputation worldwide.

Pertama kali ke TNK th 2017, bareng Bang @TodungLubis. Setelah itu bbrp x ke sana, tmasuk bareng menteri LHK. Komodo2 di Pulau Rinca lebih gesit, lincah, muda. Komodo di P. Komodo lebih "lamban", gede2. Rada tua. Kata ranger-nya. Kedua pulau untuk konservasi #soalKomodo 😊
Dari awal ke sana, kemudian saat bareng Bu Siti Nurbaya, saya bandingkan wisata di TNK dg wisata ke Machu Piccu di #Peru (iya, saya pernah ke sana😊). Jumlah pengunjung harian TNK harusnya dibatasi untuk jaga habitat agar Komodonya bisa berkembang biak lebih "nyaman"
Lha kog sekarang malah mau bangun properti2 dan fasilitas untuk wisatawan di Pulau Rinca? Pengunjungnya harusnya dibatasi. Banyak didatangi pengunjung aja Komodo bisa stress, apalagi ada proyek pembangunan? Brisik? Bangunan yg ada sudah cukup. Imo😐
Meski Islam tak diakui, bukan berarti Islam dilarang. Muslimin hi dup sebagaimana rakyat Bhutan pa da umumnya. Mereka memiliki hak sebagai warga negara serta memiliki hak untuk bekerja. Hanya satu hal yang tak diizinkan, yakni menyebarkan agama atau dakwah Islam.
Oleh karenanya, jumlah Muslimin tak berkembang pesat di sana. Komunitas Muslim pun hanya hidup di kalangan mereka saja. Tapi, mereka dapat hidup nyaman di sana.

Have said this before, will repeat. I expected more from you @DrSJaishankar . But you have sorely disappointed by being too eager to impress your boss @narendramodi over sane foreign policy . It’s clear @RahulGandhi got under your skin when he exposed your abject failure.
Do you honestly believe photo ops are a substitute for sustained diplomatic engagement, have you not had to clean up the mess @narendramodi often creates or clarify the lies he peddles? Now onto your hollow claims
#China Intruded occupied our territory, first combat casualty in 45 yrs on Ladakh border. No real disengagement. Despite Sabarmati & Mahaballipuram China now closer to Pakistan, against us at NSG, UNSC interfered in Kashmir. What success are you referring to? @DrSJaishankar
