While the optics are nice, I hope the "substantive discussions" on strategic security lead to tangible benefits for India's defense preparedness, not just symbolism. The partnership must be mutually respectful and not compromise our strategic autonomy.

Good to see the focus on defense partnership. A safe Indo-Pacific is in everyone's interest. But let's also not forget, while calling Bengaluru the crown jewel, our leaders must fix the city's infrastructure problems - traffic, water crisis - for its own people first.
