Almost four years after nearly 200 countries signed the Paris Agreement, the world is far from meeting its goals. Global emissions hit a record high in 2018.
At the UN climate summit, 16-year-old Greta Thunberg told leaders 'we are watching you'. But getting 197 nations to agree on anything is a fool’s errand.
Government’s hurriedly thought out mechanisms have neither improved environmental performance of projects, nor reduced legal cases against polluting ones.

In Episode 1544 of CutTheClutter, Editor-in-Chief Shekhar Gupta looks at some top economists pointing to the pitfalls of ‘currency nationalism’ with data from 1991 to 2004.
The decorated Naga officer from Manipur also served as envoy to Myanmar & Nagaland chief secy. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh inaugurated a museum dedicated to the Tawang hero Thursday.
While we talk much about our military, we don’t put our national wallet where our mouth is. Nobody is saying we should double our defence spending, but current declining trend must be reversed.
The “New India” which is not bothering about S-400 sanctions, how the author can imagine that there is a 1% impact from the interference of the USA?
It is pitiful to see that international pressure which once the USA have is no more functional in India’s internal matter.
hahaha delusional author of the article still stuck in CONregressi fantasy. He does not understand norms of international diplomacy that interference in India’s internal matters is none of USA’s business, nor is India and its think tanks which advise the govt are run by leftist pesudosecularist who appease islamists and western world. West and USA need India more than India needs them, as market, as young and cost effective service provider, its the only nation left in the world wjich is large, democratic, has native culture and dharmic religions which are NOT predatory supremacist violent avengelical jihadist conversion machinery. India will give it back to USA if they dare to interfere as there are too many inequalities and holes within USA’s own system.
India is no longer under Congress rule that it cares about US meddling in its domestic affairs. Under Modi it has become quite capable of speaking softly while wielding a big stick.
The US has always had a great relationship with dictatorships be it Pakistan, Saudi Arabia or China as long as they did it’s bidding. We all know how the US used and favoured these countries. So let’s not fool ourselves here and have a short memory like the author. China built itself up when it was in the good books of the US and India needs to do the same now. Rest everything is superfluous. If the ex foreign secretary has any ideas on that he should spell them out instead of useless philosophising.
US has never ever been a key ally and partner of India. Till the end of the Cold War, US was actively encouraging the rise of extremist Islam and Islamic countries with the strategic view that Muslims do not get much influenced by Communist idelology unlike other communities. After the end of the Cold War, from Clinton to Obama, the US-India relationship was skewed in favour of India exporting to the US, White Collar professionals willing to work at the tenth of the cost of a US worker. Only Donald Trump dared to go outside the traditional US government view of India and engage us as a world power capable of containing China. Mr. Biden has been elected on the platform of conserving the traditional US Cold War era worldview and cannot be expected to be as favourable towards India as President Trump was. At the end of the day it is best for India to conserve and promote its already robust ties with Moscow. At present, Russia is still India’s all-weather ally. Another promising developing alliance is with Israel. For India, till the time the Democrats are in power in the US, it makes sense to keep the US engaged and build robust all-weather alliances with Russia and Israel.
Current administration is filled with ultra left buddhujivis one of the critical skills being paper pushing.
This was already on the cards. The gains of earlier administration will be given away mostly on economic, strategic and world forums.
While the media is celebrating Indian American appointments in current administration, you have to understand they are ultra white and ultra American by all standards. Their belief rooted in ultra left ecosystem which by definition is bad for world’s largest democracy.
Friends should bring out the best in us. Democracy is our most valuable attribute, something that provides the framework to keep such a diverse society together with a minimum of social stress and use of state force. If the US points out that a shared commitment to democracy is the bedrock on which the India – US friendship rests, there is an unmistakable message contained in that. There is no need to see it as a threat. However, if there are any grievous slippages in the democratic record, America will point them out. The restoration of 4 G in Kashmir was a very happy outcome of a respectful conversation between friends.

Yes sir, next time before passing any bills in Parliament let’s send it for approval to the US Senate too.
The US lecturing us about democracies while having supported most, if not all of it’s “allied” dictators since WW II is the most laughable thing.

Lol…US is not a “friend” and never will be. They hypocrites, along with their anglosphear lapdogs.
