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.
Shri Shivam Vij’s column made for depressing reading. Whatever may be the electoral merit of Sengar – the political landscape is increasingly littered with such flotsam and jetsam – the nature of his transgressions ought to have precluded the sort of blanket protection and immunity he enjoyed for so long. Had the young woman’s father not been killed, sparking national outrage and fury, he would not have been arrested. 2. It is likely that the apex court would have considered the whole history of this case, how it was sought to be suppressed instead of being investigated, before concluding that a fair trial was not possible in Yogiji’s Uttar Pradesh. An indictment of both the political and the police leadership. Both khadi and khakhi. 3. Parliament has more women members than ever before. On matters such as these, they could sink their political differences, form a powerful pressure group, stand in solidarity with the victims / survivors, ensure that electoral or political calculations do not let down India’s girls and women.
The sort of high quality infrastructure Delhi needs costs a lot of money to create and operate. The Delhi Metro was made possible by low cost Japanese funding. Even so, it is not a profitable enterprise, so sharing of subsidy between Centre and state is necessary and justified. That should be the approach for other projects as well, with the finances of Delhi being more sound than other metros. To offer free water, power, public transport is fiscally irresponsible, smacks of electoral desperation.
