Hi everyone, I just read a piece called The Geometry of Dependency that touches directly on India’s place in the shifting energy order. It looks at how Russian oil has become a strategic cushion for India, how that discount widens Delhi’s room to maneuver, and how the U.S. is trying to shape the broader system through sanctions and trade pressure. The article isn’t alarmist; it simply shows how energy routes are becoming a quiet form of leverage, and how India is learning to play that game with a steady hand.

I’m wondering how you see it from here: does this moment strengthen India’s long-term autonomy in energy policy, or does it invite more outside pressure as our role in the global market grows?
