Destroying Institutions: Abandoning the Medical Profession During a Pandemic
Institutions have been described as essential patterns of behavior that come to support a society and are generally understood and agreed upon in their roles. They can include behaviors that individuals must participate in as in rites of passage in religion, or in the use of money or joining a military or providing labor for communal structures or means as in irrigation. When one segment of a society comes to disagree with the goals of institutions and withdraws support or actively attacks one or more, it threatens not only the existence of the institution but the society as an organization. Often in history, revolutions are built on such attacks as in those of the Optimates in Ancient Rome or the Bolsheviks in Russia. The attack on the medical profession in the United States has been one that has a longer history, one bracketed in disbelief in science in general and has set the two institutions of religion and medicine at odds.

India-Israel Relations: The Palestine Factor and De-Hyphenation Approach
India's foreign policy has moved swiftly from its traditional approach toward Israel and Palestine. This new phase has initiated a de-hyphenation approach to deal with India's bilateral relations with Palestine and Israel. This study outlines the developments in Israel-India relations, considering the changes in Indian foreign policy approach to the Palestine factor and the initiation of de-hyphenation policy. India recognized Israel in 1950; indeed, India's foreign policy was firmly built on the grounds of ideological front, including anti-colonial, anti-western, and non-alignment approaches. Therefore, India maintained a non-relation phase until 1992, and afterward, normalized its diplomatic relations with Israel. Eventually, India improved its relationship with Israel in diverse spheres and discounted the Palestine factor in bilateral collaborations. A dynamic deviation can be traced from the 2004 de-hyphenation policy of India to deal with Israel and Palestine issues. However, the decades-old belligerence between Israel and Palestine aggression persists in the West Asian region. India's engagement with Israel and Palestine in this multiplex world order uses their national interests as per the nation's political, economic, and security demands. Full Article..
Iran and India: Challenges of Strategic Partnership
The paper examines the features and potential of the emerging strategic partnership between India and Iran. The role of diplomacy in the energy and transport spheres in forming a belt of confidence in the Greater Middle East and Central Asia is discussed. It has been proved that one of the basic features of India's development-exceptional continuity-finds its expression in the balancing policy, particularly in South-West Asia. One of the key players in the region is Iran, which is under US sanctions. However, Iranian foreign policy has retained its commitment to the goals of the Islamic revolution and dominance in the region. In the past three years, India's policy towards Iran has shown a zigzag development. The paper focuses on the participation of India and Iran in the implementation of the international initiatives like the One Belt and One Road and the International North-South Transport Corridor (INSTC), and the prospects for cooperation in the energy sector.
