Despite tariffs, US remains India’s largest export destination, with $52.12 billion worth of merchandise exports in the first seven months of this financial year.
Without a Congress revival, there can be no challenge to the BJP pan-nationally. Modi’s party is growing, and almost entirely at the cost of the Congress.
The problem is for Muslim with passage of time they are not become part of local culture. When I was young so many Muslim play with us in Holi. Now a day’s hardly any Muslim is playing Holi. By wearing, name, food Muslim show they are different from Hindu. Now these are exploiting by some party for their electoral benefit. Desire for looking different then their fellow citizens is sole reason of Muslim facing discrimination.and this is not just India but in many advanced country.
It was only one intolerant minister from punjab. He was widely condemned by the public and ministers alike for his comments. He apologized but was still forced to resign. Please Google for verification if you want. Give Pakistan credit where it is due.
Recognize that post modi India is developing into a ticking time bomb due to his ultra nationalistic tirades emphasising religion that has ultimately torn apart the social fabric of India. You only need to watch the news to see the growing tide of hindutva hate for minorities in India.
Similarly in Pakistan, whilst Imran Khan was claiming the release of Wing commander Abhinandan was a ‘peace’ gesture, openly racist Pakistani ministers called Hindus ‘Cow piss drinkers’ and threatedn India with further attacks.

The majority of Indians recognise that ethnic and religious diverstity in India is actually our strength. The Indian constitution created 70 years ago accords Muslims in India special status by giving preferential treatment with regareds to free education, reserved places in the Military and government demonstrating this. Unfortunately 70 years on, reserved places has created an imbalance on rights and the help needed for the underprivileged ordinary citizen. Therefore it has created resentment. Affirmative action should be for tribals and for citizens based on social economic status. Otherwise it divides us further.
The inclusive nature of India’s democratic constitution reflects the fact Muslims have succeeded as politicians, the Military and in Universities to name but a few. So minor incidents does not mean Muslims in India are completely subjugated as minorities are in Pakistan.
We should remember that Indians, irrespective of religion and state is working for India. For example jawan Aurangazeb who was a muslim Indian Kashmiri was murdered by the Islamic terrorists in the Indian state of Kashmir, whilst fighting as a soldier in Indian. Another Army officer Ummer Fayaz was kidnapped and murdered by Pak sponsored terrorists in Kasmir.
Perhaps to increase communication between children, there should be constitution classes and schoolkids should be encouraged to learn about each other, from each other. Only with an United India, can India survive. I hope we do not become as racist as Pakistan.
