Mumbai Train Bombing
Source: The Conversation

The train bombing in India has killed nearly 200 people. While no group has claimed responsibility for the attacks, there is suspicion that Pakistan could be involved. This could strain the relationship between India and Pakistan that has recently shown some improvement. Frederic Grare, visiting scholar with the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, commented on these issues in NPR’s The Conversation.

- Russia-India: From Rethink to Adjust to UpgradeCommentary
Russian-Indian relations are traditionally good. The chemistry between the leaders is excellent, and members of the public are well disposed toward each other. Economic ties have long been stalling, however, and mutual suspicions have recently been creeping in over India’s relations with America, and Russia’s with China. To make the good relationship truly great, Moscow must rethink, adjust, and upgrade its approach to India. Vladimir Putin’s forthcoming visit to New Delhi could be a starting point.
