How Can We Matter

For years, allegations surrounding Sri Rahul Gandhi's British citizenship have persisted, creating a continuous cloud of criticism and potentially hindering his public duties as Leader of Opposition and as a Member of Parliament. The Court Case Recently, some courts have begun to address this issue, following an FIR filed by an individual. The slow grind of our justice system , while providing a dramatic spectacle for the nation , raises questions about how a public figure of his stature should be treated. (See details of the case in Appendix 1 below). If these allegations lack proof, the matter should be definitively closed , rather than unfairly subjecting him to ongoing public scrutiny. Conversely, if sufficient proof exists, it represents a grave national security concern , as it would imply a foreign citizen illegally holding a prominent statutory post equivalent in rank to a Union Cabinet Minister. In either scenario, the urgent intervention of the Supreme Court and other gov...

As the saying goes, "Whatever happens is for the good!" This adage, often a source of comfort and resilience, can be surprisingly applicable even to seemingly adverse geopolitical and economic shifts. In this particular instance, the "tariff war" initiated by the Trump administration against India, while initially perceived as a detrimental action, could paradoxically be a catalyst for positive global change . AI Created Image India's Strategic Restraint The imposition of tariffs by USA, typically designed to protect its domestic industries by making imported goods more expensive, often leads to retaliatory measures and can escalate into full-blown trade wars. Such conflicts invariably disrupt established supply chains, increase consumer prices, and can even trigger economic downturns. However, the unique circumstances surrounding the US-India trade relations, coupled with the broader dynamics of the global economy, suggest that this particular "tariff war...

I've yet to encounter a foreigner who has grasped India's legacy, culture, principles, character, and identity with such profound depth – truly, far more insightfully than many Indians who live here and are immersed in "Indianness" around the clock. Oprah Winfrey's Insightful Revelation Many people know Oprah Winfrey as an American talk show host, television producer, actress, author, and media proprietor, who is best known for 'The Oprah Winfrey Show'.  Image Credit: Internet Listen to her remarkably powerful speech titled:  Why is America openly supporting Pakistan against India?   What made it so striking was that she used the terms "America" and "Pakistan" just once to frame the subject; the rest of her talk was a deep focus on India, the nation, rather than its leadership. Oprah's understanding of India surpasses that offered by any contemporary Indian , even leaders like PM Modi - who crafted its vision, EAM Jaishankar - who e...

India's opposition parties are questioning the Government as to why it allowed Trump to mediate between India and Pakistan and reach a ceasefire agreement. Many western countries also strongly believe, as per Trump's tweet, that it was USA which enabled a ceasefire agreement between India and Pakistan. India's Strategic Plan The grim reality of the war is that the  Western countries and arms dealers, along with suppliers like Turkey and China , were, in fact, eagerly looking forward to a protracted war to analyze how Pakistan would deploy their provided weaponry against India and to assess the real-world capabilities of their aircraft, missiles, and drones . India's BrahMos Cruise Missile   Fully intact, undetonated Chinese PL-15 missile found in Punjab's Hoshiarpur All the dreams of this  coterie of countries,  were shattered when India, with military brilliance , carried out completely unexpected tactical moves, in a matter of hours, by: precision striking and dam...

The continuously evolving international political landscape is presenting India with numerous challenges. There is no time to look back and criticize the US or its NATO allies in what they did or did not do.
