I would like to see a much more aggressive and calculated Indian role in the larger, non-EuroAmerican world. Military collaborations with Nigeria etc to put down islamists, educational & medical support for backward communities in the US, deep involvement in Indian-origin Caribbean and pacific ...

KLNM, Bharat since the NaMo era has definitely not been in leave me alone mode in international affairs. On the contrary, we have adopted and put into practice the concentric circles model of Kautilya in dealing with our neighborhood, their neighbours and so on. Despite so many internal stables to ...

18,000 a year (50 a day) are killed by guns in the USA. 1.5% are Indians/Indian Origin people. Unless we see more than 250 - 300 Indians/Indian Origin persons killed in a year - and I have not seen that kind of numbers - we should say, just another day in the USA and move on. With respect, that’s a...

Udduji, As an Indian American, I do not know what kind of sound I should make. Most Indians are killed while working in convenience stores that are open 24/7 and in bad areas. It is dangerous to work nights out there, but newer immigrants get hired easily in the run down areas. Indians are now repu...

… India is not sitting brooding in a corner, sullenly shrugging off taps on the shoulder, "go away, leave me alone". India is engaging in an India-centric way where it is to India's advantage. To frame it in any other way is to be having a perspective from some foreign capital, not from D...

KLN Murthy saar, I have a much higher opinion of our chiefs, RM and even our babus. My take on this is that the Pakis were planning some kind of territory grab in the Sir Creek area no matter how foolhardy it may be, and might have gamed several ways it can be played out from that point. They are d...

KLNMurthy

These kinds of boastful blood-curdling warnings should be left to people lower on the food chain than army chief. Or to pakis. That's what we traditionally do. But this time it is different. So a rakshak should first think and try to understand why instead of whining and gyaning our chiefs and RM. ...

An Indian is getting killed in the U.S. Our view of murder of Indians be it within India or outside by others, is very different from how Jews see it. For them every person is important. For us numbers matter. When Bihari workers got killed, one by one in J&K by the same Pak sponsored terrorist...

On the military side: After World War I, when the British Raj broke its promise to give India greater self-rule and dominion status, Indian nationalists have simply no interest in European wars.

… No need to shout baba. I already know that, and except for the wilfully ignorant, I think everyone else here does as well. My point in raising "Russian Oil", "ICC" etc. is this. ALL US regimes have been hypocritical in their dealings with independent India. What is new with Ch...

What outcome do you want? More precisely, what constitutes winning? It will be good get thoughtful answers to this question from rakshaks. We need to differentiate between the NRI and RNI urge to feel the reflected glory of being associated with a “winner” like unkil (or cheen?) (as represented by ...

Rajiv Malhotra ji explains the problem with India's capacity to influence policy in America with his inimitable perceptiveness and harsh clarity of assessment. There’s a clear divide between the pre-2020 Rajiv Malhotra and the post-2020 version. He remains razor-sharp, erudite, and highly articulat...

… Sir, I am in no way banking on Trump winning - as you say, he could very well lose.

It’s good to see Kangana settling down & putting an end to the waves. She is very talented and I hope she is able to channel her talent for India and Hindus.

KLNMurthy

Chetak saar, Thanks for the update and some details. In democracy there are going to be different voices and curtailing them due to fear of some outside forces is not the way to go about things. Kangana and others are saying the obvious. Let it play out however crude they may be. BJP high command c...

Taken together, two "nomination" related articles (Surat and Varanasi) in the western/BIF leaning media start looking like possibly a toolkit operation: https://www.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/may/14/bjp-accused-intimidation-india-elections-gujarat https://scroll.in/article/1068014...

Does anyone seriously think Modi has to resort to preventing opponents from filing nominations in Varanasi? Is it even believable for anyone who is not a westerner? hence now they're insinuating (some sections of the media) that the roadshow of the PM in Varanasi was an 'organised'/'staged event', ...

One puzzling thing for me is why the anti India forces in India and abroad fail to nurture an anti-BJP party that is low on corruption and into sustainable economic policies ? They need not practice openly anti Hindu policies so as to prevent Hindu consolidation. Such a party can do long term damag...

@disha, the fact is Varanasi has only 8 candidates this time. I leave it to you to compare to the number previously. The number of rejected nominations is also very much factual.

@A_Gupta As to damaging India’s strategic interests (may be even providing causus belli for sanctions in some scenarios) it seems the electoral bond propaganda is not the only hazard.
