Indians see West Asia as one uninterrupted wash of Islam, but the reality is more complex. For the Druze, support from Israel—where they are a recognised minority—is now critical.
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.
Mr.Mike Pompeo ‘s compliments are just more or less formal not coming from the core of his heart ! There may be some US agenda behind this move too !
He has talked of India supporting democracy, diversity and rule of law setting an example for South Asia and World ! I have not an iota of doubt that he did compliment India for these values only for their glorious past not the present because it paints a very black picture in this context !
Where is democracy ? Where is diversity? Where is the rule of law ? The United States of America might be cherishing and adhering to these values but in the present day India these values are indeed alien !
Mr. Pompeo needs a lot of updating !
What matters and weighs in “Indian World” nowadays is Power, Pelf, Self,Name,Fame may be by hook or crook !
I shall like to draw attention of Mr. Pompeo towards one decision of Government of India for instance to show how democracy- the government of the people, for the people and by the people has been functioning here !
This decision is of the Demonetisation declared by the Prime Minister of India itself on the television networks of nation on November 8, 2016 at night ! He informed people that this decision had been taken to unearth black money and to arrest the menace of fake currency facilitating trans borders terrorists !
About one hundred fifty persons lost their lives standing in queues in front of banks to get their own cash money ! The public was subjected to untold woes, hardships and uncertainities for months together affecting their normal routine and activities adversely ! The small scale industries, small businesses had to face the music and lakhs rendered unemployed in India all of a sudden!
How much black money came to the fore as a result of this exercise neither government nor public knows ?
Ironically, what to talk of initiating any action against those found responsible for these acts of omission and commission as per the law of the land, the entire Indian Polity till date is silent on these serious lapses of the system ?
Paradoxically, the government has been painting this decision in rosy and bright colours instead of being anti-public or wrong !
Eventhen, if Mr.Pompeo is still so much impressed with India’s past glorious democratic and diverse cultural values, he must ensure
a permanent member berth in UN Security Council for India ! Despite the India Prime Minister Modi’s intimate friendship with former US President Barrack Obama and the US President Donald Trump, India has been yearning for it for pretty long !
Then he should be nice enough to enable India to be a member of Nuclear Suppliers Group(NSG) for which PM Modi tried his level best in the past couple of years but grapes proved to be sour for him !
