Amid West Asia’s brewing storm, Vikram Sood, once at RAW’s helm, endorsed India’s sagacious and impartial footing on Friday. He insisted regional flashpoints demand homegrown fixes, free from foreign intrusions.
In detailed remarks, Sood said, ‘Our handling here reflects sound judgment. West Asia’s woes are theirs to mend; external forces meddling without cause is futile.’
On intelligence, he pushed for decades-spanning foresight against tech’s relentless march. ‘Superficial takes won’t cut it for intel strategies. Keep systems dynamic and potent long-term, grappling with AI’s implications head-on.’
Global shifts loom large, Sood cautioned—a superpower’s erosion may unsettle alliances, while Sino-Indian tensions persist.
Spotlighting Raisina Dialogue, he deemed it elite. ‘It’s one of the finest in India, with sweeping, future-proof discussions. Delighted by the buzz around it.’
Sood’s analysis spotlights India’s strategic poise, advocating patience and local agency in conflict resolution.
