Strategic misdirection
People are often asked to provide their email addresses for identification, authentication, or communication purposes. In many such circumstances, people provide made-up email addresses instead of their own. To understand why people provide made-up email addresses, we interviewed 20 people who reported doing so. We found that the participants provided made-up email addresses to avoid information overload and protect privacy. The participants chos…
India’s Chequered Relationship with the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty
In 1994, India enthusiastically supported the United Nations process for negotiating the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT). It expected the treaty would ban all types of nuclear testing and pave the way for nuclear disarmament.

However, behind this rejection also lies the story of India's deteriorating national security outlo…
India’s Quest for Defence Indigenisation

Some call it utopian while others describe it as a pragmatic approach that suited India’s national security ne…
India's China Policy in the 1950s
This article examines India's China policy in the 1950s with reference to the balance of power theory. Using the logic of internal and external balancing, this article investigates the policy that India followed to contain the China threat. I argue that since Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru failed to perceive the China threat, India's policy did not aim at balancing China. In substantiating this argument, I focus upon the perceptions of Nehru, th…
