THE COST OF PARTITION: WHAT THE SUBCONTINENT LOST IN 1947

Partition split India and Pakistan’s shared economy: jute from its mills, cotton from its looms, canals from their markets.

What was the economic, political and social price of dividing an integrated subcontinent?

From the opening:
“There are dates in history that create new countries, and there are dates that permanently alter the economic geography of a civilisation. 1947 was both. The Partition of British India created two new dominions, India and Pakistan, but it also cut through an economic system that had developed over centuries.”

By Dr Mukammil Shah Yousafzai, Director of Quality Assurance and HRD, Prime Group, Islamabad

KAZAKHSTAN’S AGRICULTURAL MACHINERY REVOLUTION

Astana ties cheap finance to local assembly, drawing John Deere and Chinese and Turkish rivals into its industrial plan.

How Astana Is Turning Foreign Competition into Industrial Power

From the opening:
“For years, Kazakhstan was primarily known as an exporter of raw materials and agricultural commodities. That picture is changing. The country is now attempting to move up the value chain by attracting foreign manufacturers, localising production and using state-backed financing to modernise its agricultural sector.”

By Jean-Davy Niezgoda, International business and export specialist, France

CHINA’S WATER BOMB HAS EXPLODED IN NEPAL — AND THE WORLD IS SILENT

Climate change broke the mountain, but China’s upstream secrecy and the world’s silence turned disaster into catastrophe.

From the opening:
“903 dead. 4,247 missing. 933 workers sealed inside hydropower tunnels. This is obviously a climate-change catastrophe. But in the international media, almost no one is asking what China’s construction across the Tibetan Plateau has to do with it.”

The World Is Moving Toward a Food Crisis. Russia Could Be the Last Resort.

War, fertiliser shortages, export restrictions and El Niño are breaking the global food chain

From the opening:
“On Monday the Kremlin held a press briefing to reassure the world about food. Major agencies in the world are saying the same thing.”

THE BIGGEST EL NIÑO SINCE 1877 COULD HIT HARDER

This time, we have 18 months’ warning — and still no plan.

From the opening:
“W hat you are looking at is not a model output but a measurement. Water expands as it warms, so a satellite that reads sea-surface height to within centimetres is also, indirectly, a thermometer for the upper ocean.”
