Matein Khalid A paranoid autocrat is never a rational decision maker and has historically sent untold millions of humans to their deaths for nothing. So Adolf Hitler ranted and raved in his Berlin Führerbunker even though it was obvious that Nazi Germany had lost the war by late 1944. Stalin cynically starved millions of people in Ukraine and Mao’s Great Leap Forward cost 50 million lives in […]

JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA – Media OutReach – 4 March 2022 – Over the last few years, public and private sector organisations alike have had to adapt to the explosion of new technologies – such as AI, Cloud Computing, Blockchain, 5G, and underpinning it all, IoT. This global disruptor requires far more than simply the infrastructure to support it – to be used effectively, IoT will also likely […]

By Anjan Roy I never tire of recalling what Joseph Schumpeter, one of the greatest economists and scholars, wrote in his monumental tome: The nearer we are to an epoch the less we understand. Our own we understand the least. It is too early to make an assessment of Russia’s Ukraine war and its implications […]

By Sushil Kutty In this age of Social Media, there are dime-a- dozen political analysts. From age 20 to age 60 and beyond. Many of these pundits base their political predictions on caste arithmetic. There is also the analyst who argues using the communal factor. Stacked against these two is a third kind, the one […]

By Matein Khalid Recurrent lesson in Russian history is that the top guy in the Kremlin is toast if he loses a war or a high stakes geopolitical gamble. In 1962, Nikita Khrushchev, Cuban missile crisis gamble against JFK backfired and he was booted out from the Politburo by his fellow oligarchs two years later. […]

Arabian Post Staff Though the monetary and financial measures by the GCC banking authorities helped to offset negative balance sheet effects from virus containment measures, relaxed regulatory and prudential measures could have obscured deterioration in asset quality and led to higher risk-taking by banks on loans where risk classification was deferred or reduced, IMF said in a sectoral report. The support measures helped to mitigate consequences of […]
As Russia finds itself increasingly isolated globally, it has raised the nuclear threat amid bitter criticism from the West. India, meanwhile, has abstained from another vote on Ukraine at the UN as evacuation efforts get challenging at the borders. While Ukraine mounts a spirited defence, slowing down the advance of Russian forces, the European Union […]

Matein Khalid The Russian invasion of Ukraine is both a humanitarian tragedy and an economic disaster. Something is dangerously wrong in a world where its second largest oil producer is now a pariah state that makes a mockery of international law and will soon be crippled once its banks are ejected from SWIFT. Russia and Ukraine are also the source of almost one third the world’s wheat/corn […]
By Harihar Swarup In Uttar Pradesh politics, predicting an electoral winner is difficult and foolhardy in equal measure. This is a state that has not given any chief minister a second chance at a full five-year term. It has an electorate that has long debunked the prophesy that whosoever rules it, will get a shot […]

By David Broder Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is sickening.
