Who am I, and why Substack?

I am glad you have found this small-corner of the internet. Most of you wouldn’t know who I am (except if you followed me from Quora). Born in India, immigrated to US in 2013, been here since. I am no Glenn Greenwald, Heather Cox or Seymour Hersh but rather just another guy. Back in 2011-15, I was writing a bit on Quora and ended up gaining 27,000 followers just to be unfortunately hit with writers block with a huge pile of drafts, never able to hit the publish button. However I have figured the Q&A format is best left for gamification, and an open blogging platform like Substack is best for me to discuss my thoughts in a free-format.

What kind of community do we have here?

This space is for people who have heard about some foreign-policy issue already, but want to explore deeper into multiple perspectives, the interests of different factions and some morality- although generally relative rather than absolute. Sometimes it wouldn’t be concerns of war, but more basic incidents like social media censorship. While I would like to getting deep into US partisan scene, sometimes it might just be unavoidable. I am not an investigative reporter, although some work I produce with a lot of research and will take a week or more. Other works are slightly more opinionated and can be produced within a day.

Do follow me and subscribe to my Substack for exciting alternative views (and I mean it, not just counter-narrative to mainstream) and geopolitical/ historical analysis of many current day situations. It’s free and I don’t have intention of paid subscription in the near future.
