The March-April issue of 2023 has Articles exploring themes that have regional relevance and a direct bearing on foreign policy. Through her Article on Pakistan’s Influence Operations, Tejusvi Shukla aims to not only educate the reader about the nature and objectives of such operations but also focuses attention specifically on how Pakistan has relentlessly targeted India to destabilize the country and particularly reshape the culture in Jammu & Kashmir since independence. Based on extensive and painstaking field research and case studies, D.P.K. Pillay’s Article (with Shri Vijay Sakhare) paints a vivid and poignant picture of Kerala’s singular efforts to check the spread of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) during its heyday, without incurring additional expenditure or infrastructure, through the collaboration of the state police forces. The Archives section, carries Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman’s historic speech of 7 March 1971, exhorting his people to fight to the finish to attain complete liberation and create an independent homeland of their own. It also carries two significant contributions on India’s nuclear test of 1974 by Shri K. Subrahmanyam explaining its antecedents, and by Prof Ashok Kapur analyzing its aftermath.
