India-US relations: News and Discussions IV

Boston Brahmins. Still a dig on Hindus

[Vayutuvan]

While people like Navarro have very little idea of what they are talking about, we shouldn't fixate too much on the "brahmin" appellation. In USA "brahmin" is often used to denote "elite" in general, and not the actual caste/jati/varna that is meant in Bharat.

This is the exact same argument given by Pagalika Goose and her hubby. Also another fool of an ass INC piddi did the same. This is mind boggling coming from a supposedly self-avowed BJP supporter, scientist/technologist par excellence, and an intellectual to boot.

An American elite that abstains from meat and alcohol cannot exist.

(Yes, I know the old prohibitions are largely broken today. But then, the elite status derived from a discipline of which these were a minor part.)

Trump is a teetotaler, but lives on McD

"Trump has thrown the relationship with India away. Germany or Japan will look at India and say that could be us tomorrow. America’s friends will think that they can’t rely on us in any way”.

I wrote about Terence Tao, one of the most renowned mathematician having second thoughts about remaining in USA.

Well.. In an interview with the South China Morning Post published on August 27, 2025, Tao was asked, "Will you leave US for China?" He replied, "It depends," highlighting the uncertainty surrounding the current research funding environment. Tao elaborated that the situation is "very fluid and unstable right now—far more than it has been at any previous point in the last 30 years.
‘Will you leave US for China?’ It depends, mathematician Terence Tao says

My take - Terence Tao is regarded as one of the greatest living mathematicians, sometimes called the “Mozart of Math.” Given his stature, many countries and leading universities would very likely welcome him enthusiastically if he chose to relocate.

China - Already making overtures, offering stable funding and prestige appointments.
Australia - His home country would be proud to have him back, if he ever wanted to return.
India: Top institutions would surely extend invitations, both for prestige and to inspire young researchers.
Europe (e.g., Cambridge, Oxford, ETH Zürich, Max Planck): Well-funded and research-oriented, they’d be keen to host him.

Meanwhile :Indian Army contingent has reached Fort Wainwright, Alaska USA for the 21st edition of Yudh Abhyas 2025 (01 – 14 Sept).

Alongside U.S. 11th Airborne Division troops, they’ll train in heliborne ops, mountain warfare, UAS/counter-UAS & joint tactical drills—boosting UN PKO & multi-domain readiness.

Americans treated him far worse even before he became PM. He didn't care for his ego and built bridges. And the US burned those bridges now.
Unfortunately for you, Laura, we don't live on just yesterday's news. We remember.

It’s insane that Modi apparently thinks this sort of thing will make the Americans treat him better.

“Brahmins profiteering at the expense of the Indian people,” says @RealPNavarro.

Clearly some desi on Team Trump has told him “Sir, the racist shit didn’t really land, let’s try caste.”

Attack Dog-in-Chief’s latest right ahead of Modi-Putin meet.

I think GOI has to respond to this. Navarro has crossed all lines.

Sir he is chanjai Rahut for Trump; we can ignore him and not give any importance

[Cyrano]

This is a racist + casteist slur. It may have come from Navarro's ignorance but there is no need to defend his malicious intent saying Boston variety etc. Especially here on BRF.

[uddu]

There is 0 ignorance. These are deliberate acts. Few days ago, He published photo of Namo in HIndu attire meditating. Not to forget the various troubles they are fermenting in India with their 0.5 front. Agitation in MH to Dussehra festivals being targeted.

Look at the overall flows. It's dead even. Trump gives a partial picture.

This data should also go viral

If these were calculated to rile up Indians, its working. I suggested to not get fixated on this here. A look at X posts shows literally hundreds of anti Hindu slurs day in and day out. We should take note but not get riled up at every turn. Ron Vara's days as advisor are numbered. Let him and his boss wallow (literally) in their own excrement.

[uddu]

The objective is not to rile up Indians. Create division within Indian society and give ammunition to the opposition. Indians gave it back to Peter with wits literally in Social media and forcing his deputies in India to come and defend Uncle Sam.

As a Brahmin, I can confirm this works. I just whisper 'Bhiksham Dehi' at the petrol pump and they not only fill my tank for free but also polish my car's windshield.
There are so many such comments. I will just list the links to them.

Take note for what?
