Today, it is estimated that around 20 per cent of the world’s population, approximately 1.5 billion people, speak English. However, most of them aren’t native English speakers.
Meanwhile, democracy in Tanzania is in peril, and Theresa May should consider hitting Russia where it hurts— and go after the rich Russian oligarchs in Britain.
Diplomacy is hard work. Trump has already made several mistakes in the run-up to his bilateral talks with Kim Jong-un, and firing his highest diplomat isn't the biggest one.
KUSHNER TO CONGRESS: ‘I DID NOT COLLUDE’
In closed testimony to the U.S. Senate Monday, President Trump’s son-in-law and Senior White House Advisor Jared Kushner boldly denied colluding with the Russian government’s intrusion into the 2016 U.S.
Disenfranchisement by institutional fiat is profoundly undemocratic. The effect of the ECI's new documentary process in Bihar will tilt the scales in favour of the BJP.
Mini deal will likely see no cut in 10% baseline tariff on Indian exports announced by Trump on 2 April, it is learnt, but additional 26% tariffs are set to be reduced.
India-Russia JV is also racing to deliver 7,000 more AK-203 assault rifles by 15 Aug. These are currently being made with 50% indigenisation and this will surge to 100% by 31 December.
Public, loud, upfront, filled with impropriety and high praise sometimes laced with insults. This is what we call Trumplomacy. But the larger objective is the same: American supremacy.
By Britain, you mean England. Noted that you have already dropped the prefix ‘Great’. Such is the dynamics of the times that Scotland independence referendum may follow shortly after BREXIT is delivered. This is a fast developing story so keep watching the space. As for comparison with Bharat, you don’t compare apples with oranges. Bharat will keep languishing under the weight of population, corruption and the clerk mentality that continues from the days of British Raj.
Everyone other than the British have known for long that even the Sun has very little time now to shine on the “Empire” before it sets. They are still under a grand illusion, with their Queen and their antiquated practices and customs.
I read a column on BBC some months ago on two very large, expensive aircraft carriers Britain is building. Money is short, they will put out to sea with many essential weapons and systems missing. Unclear which seas they will rule over, what their role and mission statement would be. Britain and the EU were good for each other, despite some murmurs that mark most old marriages. Out of Europe, it will be a tiny, rain swept island, perhaps even Scotland and Northern Ireland will opt out.
Good analysis. Realistic citizens of the world’s oldest democracy are witness to a circus inside and outside of Parliament that makes a Banana Republic look far superior. The way arguments are being twisted by lawmakers (particularly hard core Brexiteers) to suit their own agenda and a false sense of grandeaur makes Indian politics look so staid, boring and devoid of shenanigans. Britons fail to see that the country has comparative advantage NO MORE but keep on harping the fact that it is the world’s 5th largest economy. As a TV commentator rightly mentioned, Britain is now in a cuckoo-land. Will the mother of all democracies still realise that it is a new world? Well, not likely with the current bunch of shoot-and-scoot politicians.
A small capitalist Britain is more powerful than socialist Bharat.
