With the week-long crisis in Sudan showing no signs of a truce, India on Monday launched ‘Operation Kaveri’ to evacuate its nationals from the violence-hit African nation. External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said India’s ships and aircraft are set to bring the Indians back home. “Operation Kaveri gets underway to bring back our citizens stranded in Sudan. About 500 Indians have reached Port Sudan. More on their way,” Jaishankar tweeted. Prime Minister Narendra Modi had chaired a high-level meeting to look into the situation on Saturday. The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said in a statement on Sunday that it has positioned two Indian Air Force C-130J on standby in Jeddah and the Indian Navy vessel INS Sumedha has reached Port Sudan. It said that the embassy is in touch with the Indians stuck in the African nation.

"The Indian Navy continues its presence in the Persian Gulf to take care of Indian maritime interests in the region, as part of Operation Sankalp. INS Talwar has been deployed in the Strait of Hormuz due to the deteriorating security situation in the Gulf. INS Talwar happens to be India’s frontline stealth frigate. In this episode, I take you through the reasons behind Operation Sankalp and how the threat of ship hijacking is reaching the Indian shore. The two ship-hijacking hotspots are now the Gulf of Guinea off the West African coast and, the Persian Gulf. Some of you may be surprised to see the Persian Gulf figure in the list. As the Somali pirates ran out of business after the World Navy’s stepped up the vigil off the Somali coast, these people started to migrate elsewhere. West Africa was an easy target for the hijackers with the bulk of the trade happening through the Gulf of Guinea, including the Nigerian oil. The geopolitical situation in the Gulf took a turn for the worse when United Nations imposed sanctions on Iran in 2016. Trump further added to those sanctions in 2018 and even forced India to refrain from buying Iranian oil. This forced the Iranians to find clandestine methods of carrying out trade during the sanctions. In the meanwhile, the Islamic terrorist group, popularly known as the Houthis, accelerated their fight gains the Saudi-backed military in Yemen. Some say that due to support from Iran, the Houthis were able to capture power in North Yemen. In return, the Houthis made themselves available to ‘assist’ Iran in the export-import of cargo. This arrangement led to increasing in Ship hijacking in the Strait of Hormuz, a small narrow sea lane joining the Gulf of Oman and the Persian Gulf. The start is also conveniently located to the Iranian large Naval base in Bandar Abbas. India gets more than sixty percent (60%) of its oil passing through the Strait of Hormuz. Also, trade with all the Gulf countries happens through the same strait. In the past couple of years, several ship hijackings involved Indian crew. Therefore, the Indian Navy had to step in to protect both ships and men (Crew). 

Naval branch of China's People's Liberation Army completed 73 years in service. During these 73 years, PLA Navy went on to be seen as the 'Assassin's Mace' to a key force safeguarding China's overseas interests. In this episode, Megha Pardhi talks to Suyash Desai about PLA Navy's journey.

Do you know those people who got out and bought entire shelves of handwashes when the COVID-19 breakout started blowing up? If I could talk to one of them, I would destroy their entire existence, maybe not IRL but on twitter. I would typically go: "What is wrong with you?" But people healthier than me suggest approaching these kinds of situations with a different attitude of: “What happened to you?”. Q FOR QUARANTINE is a podcast where a recent adult has a conversation with the world in hopes to navigate life on lockdown.
