The real driving force behind India’s export miracle is precisely the trade deficit that has long been demonized and politicized in India for many years. So if India's great industrialization miracle suddenly comes to an abrupt halt over some domestic political hype, I wouldn’t be surprised at all.

On Foreign Service Day, we honor our career diplomats. In normal times, over 70% of all U.S. Ambassadors are from the career ranks. Today, the number is just over 7%. Our country deserves better. @afsatweets

@predict_addict That's an intended effect of the US policies. It has made visa applications harsher for Chinese citizens. Though what you have pointed out about the education system, I largely concur. Just that correlation is not causation in this case.

@bhaumikgowande 1. EVs incl tractors are not environment friendly or lowers emission. That’s bullcrap 2. Have you ever seen their torque on ground? Or just making up stuff out of your ass

Did you know agricultural tractors consume about 2.6% of India’s diesel? Even though the tractor industry reported an 8% annual growth in domestic sales in FY 24-25, only 16 out of 8 Lakh agriculture tractors registered on MoRTH’s Vahan portal that year. In 2018, India was the first country outside European Union, ahead of US, Japan and China to adopt Stage V–equivalent norms to control emissions from non-road machinery. Despite incentive by national govt and several states, the uptake is low. Electric tractors can cut fuel costs for farmers, reduce noise and harmful fumes, and deliver better performance through instant torque and precision. With the right push, they can transform farm economics while reducing India’s diesel burden.

In Haryana, Moonrider’s 50 HP e‑tractor is doing primary rotavation—one of the heaviest agri operations. 
~20 kWh/hr vs ~5 L diesel/hr.

You definitely don’t want to miss this jaw-dropping interview of Assam Chief Minister @himantabiswa with @abplive . When asked whether undocumented individuals suspected to be of Bangladeshi origin are handed over to Bangladesh through proper channels, the @BJP4India leader from the northern region and Chief Minister Sarma said it’s difficult to go through @MEAIndia. So, they wait until nightfall and push them back under the cover of darkness, when no border guard personnel are present. What’s surprising is that the Chief Minister seems completely unaware that it’s been 15 years since the Bangladesh Rifles were renamed the @BGB_GOV_BD or BGB and there's in-fact an extradition treaty between India and Bangladesh. Footage courtesy of @ABPNews.

@KantInEastt I was able to return my entire fees in my first month salary and joining bonus as swe. Thereafter we can do pretty much everything. Not joining isro for salary can’t be excuse. It’s rather more about research funding and idiotic bureaucracy.

THE SKIN DOCTOR@theskindoctor13·
Mamta Mishra, principal of Subeam School in Hardoi, has been booked under the SC/ST Act. This is ridiculous. She may have been rude, ill-mannered, and unfit for the role of an educator, and people across castes rightly called out her conduct, I too did explicitly, but invoking the SC/ST Act here is an overreach. She absolutely did not use any casteist slurs against the parents. Cases like these will push people to start viewing every controversy through a caste lens before speaking. Why would any GC call out any non-castist bad behaviour by another GC against a Dalit if there’s a risk it could be twisted and lead to disproportionate repercussions under the SC/ST Act? Now some dedh-hoshiyar will say that her behaviour comes from her castist mindset. Absolute nonsense! By that standard, literally any interaction can be twisted into an SC/ST case, an argument, a scolding, failed in exam, rejected proposal, even an accident, just by claiming hidden bias. Second, Law deals with actions, not mind-reading. Unless there is a clear caste-based act, like a slur, humiliation, or targeted discrimination, there’s no legal basis. Turning every bad behaviour into a caste issue only weakens genuine cases and makes the law look arbitrary.

I don’t care about your politics … don’t trust politicians either side of the spectrum but right now the Great Nicobar forests need protection and that’s the message that needs to go out as loud as ever
Rahul Gandhi@RahulGandhi

I travelled through Great Nicobar today. These are the most extraordinary forests I have ever seen in my life. Trees older than memory. Forests that took generations to grow. The people on this island are equally beautiful - both the adivasi communities and the settlers - but they are being robbed of what is rightfully theirs. The government calls what it is doing here a “Project.” What I have seen is not a project. It is millions of trees marked for the axe. It is 160 square kilometres of rainforest condemned to die. It is communities that have been ignored while their homes have been snatched away. This is not development. This is destruction dressed in development’s language. So I will say it plainly, and I will keep saying it: what is being done in Great Nicobar is one of the biggest scams and gravest crimes against this country’s natural and tribal heritage in our lifetime. It must be stopped. And it can be stopped - if Indians choose to see what I have seen.

New Direction AFRICA@Its_ereko·
This is the Belt and Road playbook. Fund processing plants and rail in exchange for offtake plus equity. Beijing is not buying ore. It is buying the value chain inside the host country. Mozambique's Balama is one of the few non-Chinese sources of large flake graphite, the anode material every battery cell needs. The West negotiates MOUs while China builds the smelter. That is the difference between talking and moving. China moves. The West talks. Africa is watching. Africa is choosing.

🚨🇲🇿🇨🇳 JUST IN: China and Mozambique just struck a major minerals deal. Graphite. Lithium. Rare earths. Key for EV batteries and renewables. Beijing will fund local processing plants, rail lines, power networks, and industrial corridors. This is not extraction. This is integration. Mozambique keeps more value at home. China secures critical supply chains. Both win. The West talks about Africa. China moves with Africa. That is the difference.

@johnstanly If India really is such a great country, then why are Indians always looking for ways to emigrate to other countries and to the US in particular? Modi's India deserves all the contempt it gets from Nazi America.
