Butchery sans frontiers

The subcontinent is today paying the price for the CIA-ISI sponsored religious extremism in the 1980's. Iran is not suitably vocal at the high-table of international diplomacy. India's recent tryst with Pulwama exposed its relative loneliness with the US spouting platitudes and China engaged in realpolitik. This opens the ground for civilisational, cultural and natural allies, such as Iran and India, to join hands and carve out a mutually beneficial bargaining-space in the emerging geopolitics of the region.
