In this issue

Geopolitics’ May, 2022 edition primarily focusses on boosting India’s maritime security. The issue analyses the significance of defence industrial corridors for developing a robust domestic weapons industry. The edition also carries comprehensive articles on India’s preparation for a cyberwar, UDA framework for sustaining a blue economy, and the fall of Imran Khan’s authoritarian regime and restoration of democracy in Pakistan. Detailed features on indigenous combat jets, and the Sri Lankan economic crisis make the issue an interesting read. The Periscope section carries a writeup on the recent full-range test of Russia’s RS-28 Sarmat nuclear ICBM (intercontinental-range ballistic missile). A report on General Manoj Pande taking over as the new Indian Army Chief is a must-read for everyone. Review of a book on Dr Homi Jehangir Bhabha’s life take the edition to a logical conclusion. The May, 2022 issue of the magazine is an eye-opener for all.
