India has a collection of useful idiots—editors, podcasters, etc—who constantly compare India with China. Everything a vicious Communist (but oh so farsighted) regime does is lauded in sycophantic prose. India? Naah. Can’t do a thing right. Macaulay must be smiling in his grave.








@AadiAchint No one needs “permission” to think about India’s interests. Engagement is not endorsement, and exploring options is not surrender. Deterrence and dialogue are not opposites, they are instruments. Serious nations use both. And, mind your language.

Here’s @TheEconomist on Dhurandhar 2. “Some of the biggest cheers for “The Revenge” at the showing Banyan attended erupted not when patriotic dialogue is delivered, nor when Pakistanis are finished off in increasingly imaginative ways, nor even when the sneering terrorist has his brains blown out. The loudest cheers came when the screen lit up with news footage of Mr Modi, the bravest Hindu of all. But to dismiss “Dhurandhar” as propaganda is to miss something important. It did not become a monster hit by trying to convince viewers of an alternate reality. Its genius is to reflect the world many Indians, browbeaten by years of shrill pro-Modi messaging on TV news and social media, already believe to be real.”
