How Can We Matter

A sense of impatience is building among many Indians, who are eagerly expecting a decisive move by the Modi Government against Pakistan after the Islamic terror attacks in the Pahalgam valley of Kashmir resulted in the deaths of 26 innocent tourists from various parts of India. Copyright: Internet Given India's current position as a politically vibrant nation with a coalition government, a rapidly growing economy, and an expanding global influence across multiple sectors, it has naturally attracted the envy of various nations who would prefer to see its progress stall or reverse.  The India-Pakistan Situation In this context, engaging in warfare with a poor and struggling neighboring country would be a self-destructive act, squandering the significant advantages the present BJP led Indian government has painstakingly built over the last decade. Pushing Pakistan deeper into poverty through a war could inadvertently lead to global sympathy for them. Other countries and international ...

Surprisingly, it required someone like Prime Minister Narendra Modi, sitting 2,500 km away in Delhi, to illuminate the significant contributions of Kerala's illustrious son, Sir Chettur Sankaran Nair (1857-1934), for Keralites and Indian historians. Sir Chettur Sankaran Nair This luminary had risen to prominent judicial roles in the British administration, received a knighthood  under British rule, yet ultimately relinquished all these accolades to fight against injustice within the same British legal framework , a system that ironically helped pave the path to India's eventual independence . Following PM Modi's directive, Union Minister Suresh Gopi visited the ancestral home of freedom fighter and former Congress president's family in Ottapalam and their residence in Chandranagar, Palakkad, on Sunday.

I am a great fan of US President Donald Trump , who entered politics just ten years back and announced his candidature for the 2016 presidential race. On the eve of his swearing in as the 47th president of the United States , I shared my excitement with this Facebook post on January 20, 2025: Image Credit: The Web   "The world is about to experience a series of tectonic shifts that will reshape the global landscape starting tonight. The policy changes at the White House will affect every country in the world , including the US itself, impacting their governments, economies, migrant populations, and national security . Starting tomorrow, the world will enter a new era , fundamentally different from what we know today ." And this is exactly what we are witnessing today! Reshaping the Global Landscape It is undeniable that Trump is significantly transforming America and reshaping the global landscape at the speed of light. He has halted substantial USAID donations that were of...

Donald Trump's instantaneous duck to the floor for cover behind the podium saved him from certain death.  Image Credit: The Web It was Trump's solitary and instinctive act that saved him and not any assistance from the US Security Service staff. The SS team, which uses long-range binoculars and sniper rifles, could not spot the shooter standing with a rifle astonishingly close (120 meters) to the stage where the former president was speaking. Sad Day for America Saturday, 13 July 2024 is a sad day for America and the whole world. The shooter came within millimeters of assassinating a presidential candidate. It is a despicable assassination attempt on the former President Donald Trump.   There is a news video clipping that indicated eyewitnesses had raised the alarm about a ‘suspicious’ man with a rifle on a roof. Witnesses have seen the gunman with a rifle, 20 minutes before the shooting, moving from roof to roof during the rally for a perfect place to shoot. A witness wa...

I asked Google's new advanced AI chatbot, Gemini , this question! This is also an experiment to see whether we can use these Artificial Intelligence tools for our personal decision making. Here is the answer Gemini came up with.  Copyright Web The Candidate Narendra Modi is the current Prime Minister of India. He has been in office since 2014, and his term will expire in 2024. Whether or not he is a good candidate to lead India for the next 5 years is a matter of opinion. His Accomplishments Some people believe that Modi is a strong leader who has made significant progress in improving India's economy and infrastructure. They point to his government's initiatives such as Make in India and Digital India as evidence of his commitment to modernizing the country. India's GDP growth rate has been strong under his leadership, and millions of people have been lifted out of poverty. Modi has also been praised for his foreign policy, which has seen India forge closer ties with t...

India has strategically exploited new technologies to address development gaps and spur economic growth. Under Modi's dynamic leadership our policymakers have adopted  leap-frogging as a possible strategy for driving growth.

Referring to one of the greatest philosophical debate of ancient India between the young Shankaracharya and the elderly Mandana Misra , PM Modi talks about the importance of dialogue, without anger and conflict, for the resolution of today’s problems.

On Feb 26, 2019 evening PM Modi unveiled the world's largest Bhagavad Gita at Delhi's ISKCON temple. The giant book that ISKCON created weighs 800 kg, measures 2.8 m x  2 m , and runs into 670 pages! "Dubbed the Astounding Bhagavad Gita , it is billed as the largest principal sacred text ever to be printed," the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) said.

PM Modi 's visit to the Silicon Valley brought together several dozen Fortune 500 CEO s of American companies on a common platform. All Indians should be thankful to President Barack Obama who first publicly acknowledged the immense talent and potential of the three-million strong community ..
