Friday Quiz: Who is the richest of them all?

Jaishankar should visit the BAPS Swaminarayan Mandir in NJ the next time he is in the US. That would be true laser eyes. All Indian leaders should make it a point to first visit some or other Hindu institution outside of DC before embarking on fruitless official meetings.

Tell me one good reason why there shouldn't be a solid slowdown, recession in the country? Don't answer demographic dividends & consumption stories.

Modi has failed. Who all agree?




Those embasssy-organised and RSS-sponsored tamashas for Modi with NRIs in foreign capitals have never helped India or Indians. They are only meant to generate footage for Modi and his bunch of supporters to delude themselves of some global effect.

What the hell for?

Protocol Turned Upside Down: Marco Rubio, after arriving in New Delhi, bypassed the standard diplomatic protocol. Normally, a visiting foreign minister first holds substantive, working-level bilateral talks with the host foreign minister, where the actual negotiations and heavy lifting occur. Only afterward does the visiting minister “call on” the head of government — a largely ceremonial meeting meant to convey leadership messages, provide photo-ops and formally endorse what was already discussed with the counterpart. Yet Rubio went straight to Prime Minister Modi for detailed discussions that reportedly stretched for over an hour, with the Indian foreign minister and national security adviser also present. The courtesy call effectively became the principal forum for deliberations.

More diplomats should adopt the @DrSJaishankar approach when dealing with foreign media, firm, precise, and unapologetically direct, instead of driving straightforward questions in diplomatic wordplay and historical stories. Meek responses only embolden those waiting to lecture India with selective morality and blatant hypocrisy. Too many people still live in the past and expect Indian diplomats to behave submissively before foreign journalists, as though pleasing audiences abroad matters more than defending national interests clearly and confidently. Defending national interests is about the nation, and not those questioning those interests.

There will be no QUAD by year end. New QUAD is coming with Philippines replacing India. India and USA are going through a messy divorce, Rubio is here with terms. RIP India US relations, they made too many cheesy statements without substance.

Warmly welcome Secretary of State Marco Rubio @SecRubio of the USA to New Delhi. His visit will add further strength to India-USA Comprehensive Global Strategic Partnership. 🇮🇳 🇺🇸



Doesn't the US run Venezuela?

Happy to receive the US Secretary of State, Mr. Marco Rubio. We discussed sustained progress in the India-US Comprehensive Global Strategic Partnership and issues related to regional and global peace and security. India and the United States will continue to work closely for the global good. @SecRubio @marcorubio
