''As it happened, the eruption of violence in Tajikistan’s remote Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Province, the mountainous region along the Afghan border straddling China’s Xinjiang Autonomous Region became world-class news for strategic pundits. The events are, prima facie, “local” news; but a ring of regional politics surrounds them and embellish them and they possibly signify also an emerging vector of a much larger canvas of the “great game” involving big powers competing for influence in the Eurasian heartland.
In a way, the events appear like a dress rehearsal of a play that one would instinctively suspect to have many engrossing sub-plots while the main plot itself is yet unclear and can only be scripted as the play progresses. ''
