For all their colonial underpinnings, postcards from Hyderabad also inadvertently preserve a trace of local memory: a glimpse of a street, a face, a forgotten name.
Indian toymakers are now exploring new markets, but they want govt to negotiate a trade deal with US soon, introduce incentives and subsidies to make the industry more competitive.
The project is meant to be a ‘protective shield that will keep expanding’, the PM said. It is on the lines of the ‘Golden Dome’ announced by Trump, it is learnt.

BJP should not have started this personality cult of naming things after the PM. BJP has been claiming to be a party with difference. But, this is the worst emulation of Congress culture.
Peace with Pak will last until next BJP election, when a whipping boy is needed again. Unless PLA has shown its might again at doorstep to make feku & his gangs tremble.

So one will not rush to apply for a tourist visa, to take wife to the land from where one half of our children’s DNA has originated. 2. Three nuclear armed adversaries coming so close to war, twice, is not a sustainable situation. There is now a statesman in the Oval Office. New opportunities are opening up. On something as easy to measure as the economy, both pre and post Covid, we are not setting the slopes of Davos on fire. 3. India’s Chief Diplomat knows the world like the back of his hand.
