This will be our last newsletter for 2024. We want to reflect on what we have shared together as a group. But first -
I will be in San Francisco from tomorrow (Dec 22nd) through December 29th. We will be staying in downtown San Francisco. If you are interested in meeting and can make it to the downtown, please send me an email (chiefeditor@drishtikone.com). Would love to meet some likeminded friends. Since we will leave early morning, sending this newsletter earlier.
Want to start off the review with a few words of gratitude!
When 2024 dawned, we realized that it was going to be a tipping point for humanity. We wondered aloud how the elections this year would impact the humanity for next 100 years.
With over 70 countries holding elections and champions of democracy making a mockery of it, 2024 will decide the next 100 years of humanity
The year started with January 22nd's monumental and civilizational moment for Bharat, when the Pran Pratishtha (consecration) of Ram Temple was done on January 22nd.
I had shared my sentiments in Hindi poetry in this video.
Throughout 2024, Drishtikone continued its incisive exploration of global geopolitical dynamics, cultural upheavals, and socio-economic shifts, delivering thought-provoking content for its readers.
Beginning with the controversies surrounding Jeffrey Epstein and the pivotal changes humanity faces, the year unveiled India's historical and geopolitical narratives while exposing the collapse of modern journalism.
The focus shifted to Pakistan's inherent flaws, the precursors of global war, and a revival of ancient wisdom.
As Spring came, we analyzed geopolitical transformations, dystopian resets, and contentious domestic policies in India.
By the time Summer came, we were looking at India's strategic autonomy, financial brinkmanship by the US and the West, and the intersections of global conflicts like the Ukraine war and the Israel-Iran conflict.
With autumn came deeper investigations into AI-driven changes, national champions in geopolitics, and shifting power dynamics in Asia and Europe.
As the year closed, the spotlight moved to North Korea, Arctic militarization, and the increasing polarization in U.S. politics.
Key insights illuminated the battles over resources, disinformation campaigns, and the role of narratives in shaping global paradigms.
Each month offered readers an intricate balance of esoteric knowledge and actionable insights, sparking debates and challenging conventional thought.
This body of work provides a lot of material for you, the readers, to go back and find answers to questions that you have always had but not the right backup evidence or references.

Also, I have been asked to kickstart my YouTube channel. With the very limited time I have, I am reviewing the options I can look at in terms of format and tone of the content. I want that to be an extension of the depth and seriousness of this newsletter.
Let's see what we come up with.
Over ambitious politicians joined hands with Religious institutions and groups to defeat BJP only because it was characterized as a "Hindu Party". It was won on Minority Vote where Hindus were rendered irrelevant. That is the greatest lesson from this election!
On a foggy night, silent love blooms, weaving unspoken emotions into a tender story of longing and the beauty of quiet connections.
