Indian states are tagging their budgets to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), splitting money across indicators using a 50-50 or equal-share rule when one scheme serves several goals.
That rule, although mathematically convenient, is factually wrong.
The mid-day meal scheme is the clearest example: 71% of the nutritional impact comes through protein, 21% through calories, and just 7% through iron, yet an equal split credits each a third.
That overstates the meal’s effect on iron deficiency by nearly five times, and understates what it actually does for protein.
This brief examines why states need evidence-based weights, not equal ones, before SDG budgets can actually guide spending decisions: https://www.orfonline.org/expert-speak/splitting-the-rupee-getting-sdg-budget-tagging-right-in-indian-states

| 3 | During Ukraine’s 2022 counter-offensive to retake Kherson, Starlink was reportedly shut off mid-battle. Ukrainian forces trying to encircle Russian positions lost the attempt entirely.
A similar pattern played out in Iran, when Starlink went live without the government’s consent. In India, the Army recovered a Starlink terminal alongside weapons during operations in Manipur, though how it was being used remains unclear. Different outcomes, same pattern: a private company, not the host state, decided when the network worked.
India has written 29 security conditions into its satellite policy. But those conditions only matter if they can actually be enforced. The satellites, the software, and the final decision-making authority remain with one company, and ultimately one person, based in the US, outside India’s jurisdiction.
This brief argues India should build its own satellite communications capability, even if that means connecting remote regions a little slower: https://www.orfonline.org/expert-speak/starlink-in-india-weighing-sovereignty-strategy-and-security | 232 |
| 4 | Elon Musk called India’s Starlink process “a crime against the people of India,” blaming “oligarchs.” India’s response was procedural: all three licensed satellite operators are going through the same security review.
However, the real contest here isn’t about Starlink’s approval. It’s whether democratic institutions can hold the line when individuals with outsized private power expect governments to answer to them.
This brief examines why access to India’s market runs through its institutions, not around them: https://www.orfonline.org/expert-speak/the-oligarch-who-cried-oligarchy | 229 |
| 5 | India’s shifting AI policy has meant opposing dedicated AI legislation, considering regulatory intervention, and adopting a techno-legal approach that relies primarily on existing laws and voluntary measures.
The real question was never whether to regulate AI. It’s how: existing laws already cover several AI-related harms, but gaps remain, especially around who’s liable when an AI system acts with real autonomy.
A new consultation paper, due within a month, is the clearest chance yet to settle that question with one coherent framework instead of another reversal.
This brief traces India’s shifting AI regulatory stance, and what the upcoming consultation needs to resolve: https://www.orfonline.org/expert-speak/to-regulate-or-not-to-regulate-india-s-ai-dilemma | 302 |
| 6 | https://youtube.com/shorts/nWwl5v4qQqk?si=kLCB4IXoYxTmwozl | 264 |
| 7 | #India isn’t asking #Starlink for promises. It’s asking for verifiable, enforceable control.
Starlink has reportedly built around 20 gateway sites in India and says its operations are designed to meet local security requirements. But those claims still need to be verified by the Ministries of Communications and Defence, the same process Reliance Jio and Eutelsat OneWeb are going through.
This brief looks at why satellite broadband is a security question before it’s a competition question, and why that applies equally to every operator.

| 8 | India doesn’t need a new AI strategy. It already wrote one, at the India AI Impact Summit in February 2026, where nearly 90 countries endorsed a declaration on democratic AI access, shared safety tools, and a commons for replicating what works.
Those commitments remain voluntary, non-binding, and unverified.
The piece argues that gap is India’s opportunity, not its weakness: to become the country that actually follows through, with a single authority tracking delivery, AI capacity inside every ministry, and a public account of what’s been built by the time the next summit in Geneva arrives: https://www.orfonline.org/expert-speak/india-must-lead-on-ai-it-already-has-the-blueprint | 402 |
| 9 | A Geran-5 drone costs Russia about $100,000 to build. Shooting one down with a Patriot missile costs Ukraine $4.2 million.
That math is the real story here, not just the drone’s speed. Ukraine now intercepts only about 60% of Geran-5 drones, down from 95% for other drone variants, while Russia has scaled production to around 3,000 drones a month.
This brief examines why Ukraine faces a three-front problem, drone interceptors, missile stockpiles, and fighter squadrons, all strained simultaneously, and why that may hand Russia a tactical edge without a decisive one: https://www.orfonline.org/expert-speak/jet-powered-drones-a-new-frontier-in-the-russia-ukraine-war | 406 |
| 10 | Child stunting in India fell from 35.5% to 29.3% in the latest health survey.
That’s real progress, but it’s the wrong number to chase next: wasting still sits at 19%, and India doesn’t yet have fresh, comparable data on anaemia, which affected 67% of young children in the prior survey. These numbers track physical growth, but they miss diet quality and micronutrients.
The deeper problem isn’t producing enough food. It’s that nutritious food, fruits, pulses, dairy, eggs, is often too expensive or too hard to access, especially as climate shocks and price swings hit these foods hardest.
AI-powered monsoon forecasts already reach 38 million Indian farmers. That proves good information can change decisions, if it arrives early enough.
The piece argues India now needs to connect that same kind of data to nutrition and food prices, through tools like Bharat-VISTAAR, so problems show up before the next health survey, not after: https://www.orfonline.org/expert-speak/digital-transformation-for-affordable-diverse-and-resilient-food-in-india | 424 |
| 11 | No embassy. No formal diplomatic ties. Yet trade between Bhutan and China just hit a record high.
Bhutan has deliberately kept it this way: resolving the border dispute before establishing diplomatic relations, so China can’t use that as leverage in the talks.
25 rounds of negotiations later, that approach is holding, even as trade, tourism, and education keep deepening.
This brief examines how Bhutan is managing a deepening relationship with China without formal diplomatic ties, and why India has largely chosen not to stand in the way: https://www.orfonline.org/expert-speak/practical-cooperation-how-china-and-bhutan-engage-beyond-borders | 549 |
| 12 | Jhansi has attracted INR 12,190 crore in investment proposals, the second-highest among all six nodes of Uttar Pradesh’s Defence Industrial Corridor. However, what matters is whether it turns into actual manufacturing capacity.
Bharat Dynamics is building a propellant facility there to supply India’s Akash missile programme, expected to go live by the end of 2026. But defence manufacturing demands specialised certification most local industry has never needed before, so the real test isn’t the capital committed, it’s whether local MSMEs can actually qualify as defence suppliers.
This brief examines what Jhansi needs to become India’s next defence manufacturing hub, not just its next investment headline: https://www.orfonline.org/expert-speak/jhansi-s-defence-turn-can-the-bundelkhand-city-become-an-arms-manufacturing-hub | 519 |
| 13 | Energy has stopped being just a commodity in India-US relations. It’s become a strategic lever, and Rubio’s visit to Jamnagar proves it.
India imports over 85% of its crude oil, which is why discounted Russian crude was always a matter of economic pragmatism, not political alignment.
Washington sees India as a transformative market for its own producers. But this is a central paradox of energy geopolitics: the US is trying to influence the composition of India’s energy imports even as the viability of alternative supplies, including Venezuelan crude, remains contingent on American sanctions policy.
The real lesson for India: diversification matters precisely because it reduces dependence on any single supplier, American or otherwise.
This brief examines what a genuinely durable India-US energy partnership would require: https://www.orfonline.org/research/the-evolving-energy-dimension-of-india-us-relations | 479 |
| 14 |  ORF is hosting a discussion titled ‘Expanding Social Protection in the Global South’ as part of the Fellows Seminar Series.
This seminar will discuss the need to integrate social protection into broader national strategies for development and inclusive growth amidst rising socioeconomic insecurity. It will explore the dynamics of evolving social protection systems in India, Brazil, and South Africa—to examine their socioeconomic and governance impacts, and offer recommendations to strengthen social protection frameworks across the Global South.

| 17 | Girls now match or outperform boys in school completion across India. Yet young women are five times more likely than young men to end up NEET, not in employment, education, or training.
About 88% of NEET young women are doing unpaid domestic and care work.
The piece argues India isn’t short on female human capital, it’s losing it at the exact point where education should convert into work.
Protecting continuity, not just participation, is the real policy fix: https://www.orfonline.org/expert-speak/india-s-missing-human-capital-the-gender-gap-in-education-to-work-transitions

| 18 | Western partners withdrew. The UN peacekeeping mission left. That vacuum is exactly where Russia has stepped in, as Mali’s top security partner and Algeria’s longtime military supplier since the 1960s.
Now that Mali and Algeria are repairing ties, Russia could position itself as the bridge between them, but only if it pushes for actual political dialogue, not just more security cooperation.
This brief looks at whether this emerging triangle becomes a path to stability or deeper militarisation:https://www.orfonline.org/expert-speak/sahel-s-geopolitical-reset-and-russia-s-strategic-opening

| 19 | Starlink has over 10,000 satellites, about 70% of everything in low Earth orbit. There’s currently no reliable way to disable the whole constellation.
China’s response isn’t to try to destroy it. It’s filing for nearly 200,000 satellite orbital slots of its own, and pursuing legal and jamming strategies instead.
This brief looks at why the next space race is about control, not destruction: https://www.orfonline.org/expert-speak/the-new-logic-of-space-warfare | 647 |
| 20 | Bengaluru’s traffic ranks second worst globally, behind only Mexico City. A new governance body was supposed to fix exactly this kind of coordination failure.
A year in, the Greater Bengaluru Authority has split the city into five municipal corporations, but none have elected councils, and the GBA’s request for 6,500 more staff was rejected.
This brief assesses a year of the GBA, and why fragmentation hasn’t actually gone away: https://www.orfonline.org/expert-speak/fragmented-still-assessing-a-year-of-the-greater-bengaluru-authority | 601 |
