William Avery, formerly a US diplomat, outlines in this article precisely how India should NOT conduct its affairs for the coming decade. In it, he advises spending absurd amounts of money on foreign expeditions, a huge boondoggle of a navy, and importing talent - all at the cost of local, organic talent that can deliver results and embed resiliency – now the key to survival and success in these uncertain times.

Wow, there’s some real pathos in this article. He’s so nostalgic for the good ol’ days when America could go around kicking ass with impunity, and he’s dealing with it by trying to pass the baton to India. Tragic.

The rest of it is just delusional. Ignoring India’s advantages in favour of trying to emulate the US at the beginning of the 20th Century is so, so, so very much not the way forward. Especially when he gets the historical analysis so wrong (the Monroe doctrine was upheld by the Royal Navy, not the Americans, whose navy in 1823 was tiny).
