Visegrad-4 reset could refresh India's relationship with Europe's Central Eastern flank
Digital Desk | New Delhi: The meeting between Indian External Affairs Minister (EAM) S Jaishankar and the foreign ministers of Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia on the sidelines of the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York on September 21 has been described as a historic occasion. In some way, it is: the Visegrad-4, the group of these four countries, has agreed to hold annual foreign minister-level meetings. It has also agreed to establish an annual business forum to deepen cooperation in technology, defence, space, and connectivity. Slovakias Foreign Minister Juraj Blanar said that all four V4 countries agree that India should have a permanent seat in the UN Security Council. It is a general consensus amongst policy planners, scholars and journalists that while most of the UNGA side meetings are part of routine diplomacy and function as a stocktaking of the relationship, some of them become historic, so a closer reading always provides a fresh perspective and that too at a time when the V4 is trying to work as a regional grouping after a great rupture and India is working out a different kind of relationship with Europes Central Eastern flank. Talking about the history, Indias ties with this part of Europe are older than the Visegrad grouping and even before Indias independence. During the Second World War, the Maharaja of Nawanagar sheltered hundreds of Polish children at Balachadi near Jamnagar, and a larger Polish settlement emerged at Valivade near Kolhapur, a story that Warsaw still remembers with gratitude. Rabindranath Tagore travelled to Hungary in 1926, and Amrita Sher-Gil was born to a Hungarian mother. Her Hungarian husband lived and died on the outskirts of Eastern Uttar Pradesh. In the Cold War years, when all four were in the Soviet bloc, the relationship took a more practical shape, as Czechoslovak industry and Polish shipyards and aircraft factories supplied the Indian armed forces with everything from armoured vehicles to Iskra jet trainers and landing ships. When EAM Jaishankar mentioned in New York that India has a very strong defence history with every V4 country, he was alluding to these historical facts. This strong trade and defence relations with India to these countries, which changed after the fall of the Iron Curtain, as these states looked more Westward for their economic expansion, and V4 was the result of the same, formed at Visegrad, Hungary in 1991 with a simple purpose, to help these post-communist states return to Europe. This purpose was fulfilled when all four joined, first NATO and then the European Union in 2004. The grouping served as a regional pragmatic minilateral among the EU, NATO, and the UN but took a different avatar after the 2015 migration crisis. The populist zeitgeist already taken shape in this part of the world, the V4 became known in Brussels as the bloc that said no to refugee quotas, to what it saw as interference on the rule of law, and to a more federal Europe, with Viktor Orban's Hungary and the PiS government in Poland setting the tone. For almost a decade, the V4 was read, fairly or not, as the capital of European populism. Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022 broke that alignment. Warsaw saw Moscow as an existential threat while Budapest kept its lines to the Kremlin open, and the grouping more or less stopped functioning. The reset in the V4 grouping came this year as Peter Magyar won a landslide election in April, ending Orban's 16-year tenure, and in June the four Prime Ministers met at Godollo, where they agreed to coordinate in EU forums, including resuming regular consultations ahead of European Council meetings. The reset must not be read just from ideological point of view because while Poland's Prime Minister Donald Tusk and Magyar belong to the same centre-right European Peoples Party, the other two heads of state, namely Andrej Babis of Czechia and Robert Fico of Slovakia, are sovereigntist populists who would have been at home in the old V4. While their ideas may or may not collide, they come together to preserve their interests within the wider EU framework. At the next EU budget scheduled for December, they signalled a joint challenge to EU policies that are increasing energy prices. Till now, the V4 states used the grouping very pragmatically as a pressure group when required, but when interests diverged while being part of the group, they have kept individual state preferences at the forefront. The groups Indian engagement is important for it, as it will elevate the groups standing as a regional stakeholder post-rupture. This is where Russias question becomes an important part of Indias European puzzle. India's engagement with Europe currently moves on two tracks. With France, Germany and the Nordic countries, the relationship is largely about trade, technology and investment. With the frontline states, Russia is the existential fact of their politics. The sequence of the last month shows how India is handling this second track. EAM Jaishankar was in Moscow on August 23 and 24, where he co-chaired the intergovernmental commission and met Russian President Vladimir Putin at the Kremlin. Within 10 days, he was in Warsaw and Kyiv, his first standalone mission to Ukraine since the war began in February 2022. Putin then came to New Delhi for the BRICS summit, and a week later, EAM Jaishankar was with the V4 Foreign Ministers in New York. India has always kept its relations with Russia and the rest of Europe in a very compartmentalised manner. As recently as January, when Radoslaw Sikorski was in New Delhi, the exchange was sharp, with EAM Jaishankar telling him that Poland should not help fuel terrorist infrastructure in India's neighbourhood and that singling out India over Ukraine was unfair and unjustified. Eight months later, Poland is part of a collective V4 endorsement of India's Security Council bid, and preparations are underway for Tusk's expected visit to India. There is a gradual de-hyphenation of India-Russia for Poland, which was a thorny issue in India-Polands relations. It must also be noted that the V4 is not a single actor on Russia. All four share the geography of the eastern flank, but not the threat perception. Poland and, to a lesser extent, the Czech Republic see Moscow as the main danger, while Fico's Slovakia holds views closer to New Delhi's than to Warsaw's, and Hungary under Magyar is still recalibrating. Oddly, this works in India's favour, because India can deal with a grouping whose members read Russia differently precisely because it does not ask any of them to choose. EAM Jaishankar seemed aware of this when he said that how the V4 come together is for them to decide, a careful line that protects India if the grouping fractures again. Poland, by its size and security role, is the pivot of this engagement rather than its typical member. But while the Polish media finds Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'endless war to end of war remark as an anchor to reimagine the relationship, Slovakias which is still dependent on Russian gas, echoed energy security as a common point of interaction. This tells that differences in the groupings understanding of India vary depending upon their policy choices and constraints, but all of them want to make the arrangement work. Japan and South Korea have had V4 Plus formats for years and their companies are already embedded in the region's automotive and battery supply chains. The defence relationship can be refreshed through co-production under 'Make in India', drawing on old familiarity with platforms and industries. The business forum can make Central Europe an entry point into the wider EU market, and EAM Jaishankar himself linked the V4 initiatives to India's deepening relationship with the European Union. Politically, regular dialogue with four EU members on the central-eastern flank gives India a hearing in a region that, until recently, saw it mainly through the lens of its ties with Russia. The risks are equally clear. The revival is only a few months old, differences over Ukraine and other contested political issues among the four have not gone away, and the grouping could stall again. Thus, the meeting in New York must be read as a stepping stone toward a working mechanism for dialogue with the region. If the annual meetings take place and Tusk's visit goes ahead, the frontline track may prove to be the more durable part of India's European story, though that will depend as much on whether the V4 stays together as on anything New Delhi does.

HM Shah sets 50-crore-litre milk production target for Madhya Pradesh in next 3 years
Digital Desk | Bhopal, Oct 3 (IANS) Union Home and Cooperation Minister Amit Shah on Saturday set a target of taking Madhya Pradesh's milk production to 50 crore litres over the next three years, calling for modern infrastructure and scientific improvement of cattle breeds to drive the state's dairy sector. Addressing a state-level Gopalak Sammelan at BHEL Dussehra Maidan in Bhopal, HM Shah said the expansion of dairy production would not only strengthen the rural economy but also help improve the incomes of cattle rearers and contribute to the fight against malnutrition. This conference of cattle rearers is an auspicious sign of a White Revolution in Madhya Pradesh. We aim to achieve a milk production level of 50 crore litres in Madhya Pradesh over the next three years, the Home Minister said. The conference was attended by around 35,000 cattle rearers and members of dairy cooperative societies from several districts of the state. HM Shah said the target would require significant investment in infrastructure and improvement in cattle breeds. He suggested that work be undertaken on a 50-acre tract of land for breed improvement and modern facilities for the livestock sector. The Home Minister said milk production had the potential to become an important source of additional income for rural families and announced that a scheme would soon be introduced in Madhya Pradesh under which farmers would be able to earn from cow dung. He said dairy cooperatives had a major role to play in expanding the organised dairy sector and improving the economic participation of livestock rearers, particularly women. Milk production will also play a significant role in the fight against malnutrition. In the near future, a scheme will be introduced in Madhya Pradesh through which farmers can earn income from cow dung, benefiting rural communities, HM Shah said. The Home Minister also assured the Madhya Pradesh government that the Centre has been promoting White Revolution 2.0 through dairy cooperatives, with the stated objective of increasing milk procurement, expanding cooperative coverage and strengthening the rural economy. The Bhopal programme also marked the launch of a series of dairy infrastructure projects in Madhya Pradesh. HM Shah virtually laid the foundation stone for a Rs 255-crore milk processing plant in Ujjain with a capacity of three lakh litres per day. In Bhopal, a 40,000-litre-per-day Product Dairy Plant, built at a cost of Rs 16.5 crore, was inaugurated along with a state-level central dairy laboratory costing Rs 12.42 crore. Strengthening work on a mini dairy plant in Shivpuri, costing Rs 6.5 crore, was also launched. Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat are leading in milk production. This is because BJP governments at the Centre and in the states are working sincerely for the welfare of farmers and the animal husbandry sector, HM Shah said. During the programme, Rs 101 crore was provided as financial assistance to gaushalas, while Rs 15.10 crore in dividends was distributed among members of dairy cooperative societies. Bonus payments were also made to members of the Bhopal and Indore milk unions. The Home Minister said strengthening the cooperative sector was essential for building the infrastructure required to expand dairy production and improve returns for milk producers.

NIA arrests Karnataka youth over alleged links with Pakistan-based terror operatives
Digital Desk | Bidar (Karnataka), Oct 3 (IANS) The National Investigation Agency (NIA) have arrested a 24-year-old youth from Bidar district of Karnataka for allegedly having links with a Pakistan-based terrorist and other suspected subversive elements, police said on Saturday. The arrested person has been identified as Vishal Kumar Metre, a resident of Yanakura village in Bhalki taluk of Bidar district in north Karnataka. According to the police, the NIA arrested Vishal on October 1 in coordination with the local police. He has allegedly been in contact with Pakistan-based terrorist Shahazad Bhatti and two others identified as Rana Hunain and Nomi Khan. Preliminary investigations have revealed that Vishal was allegedly communicating with the trio through his mobile phone and WhatsApp. Central investigating agencies had reportedly been monitoring his activities since December 2025. Bidar Superintendent of Police Pradeep Gunti said, The court proceedings are currently underway. Once the proceedings are completed, more information will be shared regarding the arrest and the facts of the case. Meanwhile, police said that Vishal is a graduate and had allegedly maintained contact with the Pakistan-based operatives for some time. Local police also joined the investigation after he reportedly went missing, and his movements were tracked as part of the probe. The accused has been booked under provisions of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA). The Chincholi police have registered a case in connection with the alleged terror links and are assisting the central agency in the investigation. The arrest comes amid heightened scrutiny by Central and state agencies into suspected links between individuals in Karnataka and Pakistan-based terror networks. Police sources said this is the third arrest in Karnataka in the past 15 days in cases involving alleged links with terror elements. Investigating agencies are examining the nature of the contacts, the communications exchanged, and whether the accused had any role beyond maintaining contact with the suspected operatives. The investigation is continuing, and further details are expected to emerge following the court proceedings and questioning of the accused. Recently, the Uttar Pradesh Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) and Kalaburagi Police arrested two Uttar Pradesh natives in Karbnataka's Kalaburagi in August 2026 over alleged links to Pakistan-based entities and ISIS. Mohammed Sameer (23) and Salman are the arrested persons. The duo allegedly maintained regular contact via WhatsApp and Facebook with individuals linked to Pakistan and the Islamic State (ISIS).
