Delhi: US Ambassador to India, Sergio Gor says, "... Investment flows are reaching new heights. Indian companies continue to expand in the United States, particularly in pharmaceuticals, manufacturing, and technology, while US firms are increasing their footprint in India’s fast‑growing market. I was thrilled to see Indian companies committing more than $20 billion in investments in the United States at the annual Select Investment Summit. Not only is $20 billion a significant figure, but all embassies compete to bring investment into the US — and we were proud that our embassy, working with partners in India, ranked first in the world, an incredible achievement."

Buyers do not possess the leverage that creators and sellers of technology do. When you are at the receiving end, every exporter of technology dictates terms whether you like it or not.

The most overrated notion taught to our bureaucratic class, political class, and sections of the armed forces is that leverage can be purchased. It cannot.

Real leverage is built by creating technologies that the world genuinely needs.

The day India’s political leadership, bureaucracy, and armed forces truly understand this will mark the true renaissance of Make in India. Mark my words.

For such understanding, we need Atmanirbar minds.

Probably the way Americans and Chinese are humiliating and trying to constrain India's growth will certainly help in realising this soon.

America said it is ready to sell India as much oil as India wants.

Jaishankar’s reply was simple and ice cold.

“If America puts America First, then India puts India First.”

India’s responsibility is to provide affordable and secure energy to 1.4 billion people.

Not to satisfy geopolitical pressure from any side.

Jaishankar also made another point very clear.

India’s ties with Russia are based on national interest, not third country approval.

If affordable and reliable oil comes from Russia, India will buy from Russia.

If better terms come from elsewhere, India will evaluate those too.

That is strategic autonomy.

No noise, No aggression, Just clarity.

Jaishankar said exactly what needed to be said.

No one received Rubio upon arrival in India. Misri giving a cold shoulder—walking around nonchalantly with one hand in his pocket—while Jaishankar openly discussed Russia in his presence. India has reciprocated well to the US.

@Sidhant
’s question on racism was spot on; Rubio was clearly caught off guard. A tougher question on China buying Russian oil without tariffs would have been ideal, but this was still good.

The only issue was allowing Rubio to meet PM Modi on the very first day for such a long, direct meeting. It should have been kept for the end as a purely ceremonial call and photo op.

India may have scheduled the early meeting to soften him up before delivering the bamboo. And it was not only in India.

In short the whole Rubio visit is a large Chai biskooth exercise. it keeps the machine running until another circus from the Bahadur in white house. It is six more months and then Bahadur will become lame duck.

India can get oil from Russia but NG has to come from either Qatar or, God forbid, from the US.
