India's Starlink caution justified, says foreign affairs expert

Foreign Affairs Expert Robinder Sachdeva backed India's cautious approach on licensing Starlink, citing Elon Musk's unpredictability and his Ukraine track record. India's Ministry of Communications requires security compliance before spectrum assignment. Musk had alleged his plans were blocked by 'certain oligarchs'; the ministry rejected discrimination claims, calling its framework fair and non-discriminatory.
