Trump has ushered in the age of humiliation. His method is to push around America’s friends rudely and publicly. He knows none of them can afford to fight back.
US Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau also expressed excitement about the trade deal that is 'almost at the finish line', speaking at the Raisina Dialogue in Delhi.
India, however, has maintained that any purchases of Russian oil is a business decision for its firms, without clarifying if any political commitment was made to the US.
Lindsey Ford, formerly deputy assistant secretary of defence for South & Southeast Asia under Joe Biden's administration, warns of trust erosion and urges arms support in Congressional testimony.
India is hosting AI Impact Summit where politicians, tech leaders, CEOs have gathered to discuss what world should be doing to marshal AI revolution in right direction.
When half of all consumers are trapped in a low-productivity agrarian economy, exposing them further to agricultural price volatility would be criminal.
On bilateral ties, Admiral Paparo said India-US ties have an exponential effect on deterrence, because it demonstrates a unity of purpose among us to maintain the peace.
At a time when India-US relations were at their frostiest in decades, the youngest ever American envoy to India drove into the embassy compound in a BMW with flashing blue & red lights.
The Gen Z movement was a serious wave that RSP and Balen together managed to capture—the first milestone reflecting the relevance of issues-based politics.

India has to deal with the ‘reality’ and continue to adjust. All nations do.
India will make incremental gains – at home, economically and in domestic policies as well as with regard to its foriegn policy and relationships.
India matters!
Hypotheticals – of 8% or 9% annual growth over the last decade… – aren’t helpful. It’s nearly impossible for India to achieve those rates and to sustain them for the years ahead. Mr. Sanjeev Sanyal’s talks are timely and pertinent. It’s a long road ahead.
Prior to 2014, the foreign policies and diplomatic relations were not dealt with the intent of glossy headlines and managing local popularity. The claimed free fall, I feel, is the result of this new found obsession with managing local headlines even in the matter of foreign relations and the illogical tendency to project every leader to be a personal friend. If my memory serves right, this has never been the case earlier.
The biggest headache for India is the diminishing strength of the United States as an effective geopolitical actor. From its peak at the end of the Cold War, where the mere specter of US sanctions would bring dictators to heel, to the current administration’s reliance on brute hacks and shady deals, the US faces significant challenges.
America will remain a technological leader and a lucrative market, but its ability to affect geopolitics will be restricted to smaller pockets like the Levant. India needs to prepare for a post-American geopolitics, and we must acknowledge the prudence in maintaining good ties with Russia.
Towards the close of the first term, the Editor had written a magisterial column on our foreign policy being adrift. Really wish it had been acted upon.
This is exactly how the West led by Trump wants the rest to see India. However there is no foreign policy free fall. A complex phase is unraveling for Indian diplomacy. India’s rising power is more substantial than the so called great powers. It will soon be the third largest economy in the world, without the ballooning statism, aging demography or super debt of the US. While per capital we are a modest economy, the potential is just incomparable. This makes the West especially the US very nervous. Looks like India seems to be their numero uno target to put pressure on. The only part we didn’t probably see was how much the US detests a real growth story that isn’t under its control.
One must not pontificate on topics he/she has absolutely no idea of.
And The Print needs to put such articles through an editorial filter. I genuinely believe I can put together a better article on Indian foreign policy issues.

Hard reality is that socialist India doesn’t have any standing in the world. Capitalism will give respect, but India is allergic to capitalism.

India needs to show some hard power. We have been focusing only on economy.
