In an exclusive interview with THE WEEK, Iraj Elahi, Iran’s ambassador to India, says Israel has consistently shown disregard for international law and a reluctance to accept solutions. He says Iran and India have the potential to enhance stability in West Asia through their collaborative efforts. Excerpts:
Conflicts have broken out all across West Asia and the possibility of a serious escalation is real. How does Iran see it?
The atrocities committed by the Zionist regime against innocent Palestinians are the fundamental cause of tension and instability in the region. So far, Iran has prioritised mobilising the international community to halt these atrocities in the occupied Palestinian territories and to bring an end to the ongoing genocide swiftly. We maintain that all nations should utilise every available measure, be it legal or political, to deter further violence by the Zionists. In line with this belief, Iran has exerted its utmost efforts to foster peace and stability in the region.

Indian readers have long known William Dalrymple as the chronicler nonpareil of India in the early years of the British raj. His latest book, The Golden Road, is a striking departure, since it takes him to a period from about the third century BC to the 12th-13th centuries CE.
The bleat from the street

Upgrade your jeans
If you don’t live in the top four-five northern states of India, winter means little else than a pair of jeans. I live in Mumbai, where only mad people wear jeans throughout the year. High temperatures and extreme levels of humidity ensure we go to work in mulmul salwars, cotton pants, or, if you are lucky like me, wear shorts every day.
