India Rising

India Rising: Strategic Affairs Conversations with Mohal and Kishor @mohaljoshi @veggiediplomat On May 8, US President Donald Trump unilaterally walked out of the nuclear deal signed by the P5+1 countries with Iran. In due course, his administration has imposed economic sanctions on Iran by stopping the supply of dollar notes and has threatened to take it many notches higher. We dive deep to understand the ramifications on the Iranian society and also it's impact on Indian oil imports. In 2015 Indian government made a government to government deal with French government to purchase 36 Rafale fighter jets as a direct consequence of a renegotiation of an earlier bid floated by the Indian government. The government now is attacked by the opposition claiming that that fighter jets are being purchased at escalated prices. We try to separate the wheat from the chaff and explain to you the basic clauses of the deal in attempt to understand if there is any scam in the whole deal.
