How Delhi and Paris became friends India and France launched their “strategic partnership” in 1998. Last week, as Prime Minister Narendra Modi concluded his bilateral visit to France, both he and his host President Emmanuel Macron could look back at the achievements of the last 21 years with satisfaction. Yet, as the two leaders must have discovered during their discussions at Chateau de Chantilly, this partnership has far more potential, especially in today’s uncertain times.The two countries had traditionally enjoyed good relations. Since the 1960s, French aircraft and helicopters have been part of the Indian air fleet — Ouragan, Mystere, Alize, Alouette, Jaguar (it is AngloFrench), Mirage, and now Rafale. When the United States reneged on its agreement to supply nuclear fuel for Tarapur, citing domestic legal constraints in 1984, it was France that took on the role. Cooperation in the space sector goes back to the inception of Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro). France helped in setting up the Sriharikota launch site and shared the Centaure and Viking rocket technologies in the 1970s. Nevertheless, the Cold War imposed its constraints. With the end of the Cold War, there was a growing political convergence between the two countries. France was the first major Western power to openly promote the virtues of a multipolar world, even describing the US as a hyperpuissance (hyperpower). As a country that prided itself on its sense of ‘exceptionalism’, it was sympathetic to similar Indian claims based on its ancient civilisation. Post the Cold War, given its interests in the Indian Ocean (Reunion Islands), France decided on India as the preferred partner in the region. In January 1998, President Jacques Chirac described India’s exclusion from the global nuclear order as an anomaly that needed to be rectified. It was, therefore, natural that France became the first country with which India elevated its relationship to “strategic partnership”.After the nuclear tests in May 1998, when India declared itself a nuclear-weapon State, France was the first major power to open talks with India. Within weeks, Brajesh Mishra was in Paris as special envoy of Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, where he was received by President Chirac, who not only gave a patient hearing (more than what was given in London and Moscow), but also displayed an appreciation of India’s political and security compulsions. While the India-US dialogue undertaken by Jaswant Singh and Strobe Talbott attracted far more media attention, the strategic dialogue between Mishra and his French interlocutor Ambassador Gerard Errera registered significant progress behind the scenes.

On expected lines, War trailer is bristling with action sequences and good-looking men going after one another. The trailer opens to tell us that Hrithik Roshan’s character, perhaps a special forces commando, has gone rogue. Seconds later, we get the glimpse of him, all muscular and raring to go. Later, it is decided that he has to be killed. Leading the mission to finish off this ‘rogue’ is another commando, played by Tiger Shroff. In July this year, Yashraj Films unveiled the first teaser of the film. The action-packed War teaser showed the two actors baying for each other’s blood. The high-octane action takes place in picturesque locations abroad. There’s hand-to-hand combat, car chases and even a scene involving a sea plane, much like James Bond film, Spectre. The teaser also gave a fleeting glance of the leading lady -- Vani Kapoor. As recent as August 12, the makers unveiled a new poster of the film -- with a gun each in hand, Hrithik and Tiger, take
aim, but not at each other. Also in the frame are fancy cars and, of course, an ultra glamorous Vani. The makers also released the Tamil and Telugu posters of the film. Directed by Sidharth Anand, very little has been revealed about the film by the makers. It would be safe to say that the film has been shot in utmost secrecy. Speaking about it, the
