Narendra Modi has been wise not to let Pakistan and Pulwama ruin ties with Saudi Arabia. And he's only pursuing a Manmohan Singh initiative energetically.
The Indian govt was insistent that the Saudis insert Pakistan’s name in the joint statement ‘at any cost’ after the Pulwama attack, said diplomatic sources.
Vijay dashed to the nearest airport, and left for Chennai in his private aircraft after the stampede broke out. Any astute politician would have done exactly the opposite.
As many as 21 policy reforms are under implementation following Invest Kerala Global Summit, as LDF govt works to change perception that the state is not conducive to businesses.
Company builds microsatellites that are smaller, faster, cheaper to produce. ICEYE will develop & launch micro-satellites, hand them over to India, which will have full control & sovereignty.
What Munir has achieved with Trump is a return to normal, ironing out the post-Abbottabad crease. The White House picture gives us insight into how Pakistan survives, occasionally thrives and thinks.
Hugging and camaraderie with foreign Muslim leaders is all very good, but I have always wondered if any of them ever raised the subject of Muslim lynchings with Mr Modi, and why it never found a mention in any of their joint or solo statements. No sane person can ever be indifferent to Muslim terrorists, they have to be condemned in the strongest words, but it’s sad that India’s common-man Muslims who are predominantly poor have been left forlorn not only by India’s present government but also by the Muslims’ powerful visiting brethren who definitely could slip in a firm word of disapproval to Mr Modi. What kind of custodian of Islam Mr MBS can claim to be? It had to be an American Muslim, “my friend” Barak Obama to issue a note of displeasure against present-day India’s intolerance that made Mr Modi, for the first time and perhaps the only time, speak a few feeble words against it. Goswami Tulsidas has said, “samarath ko naahin doash Gosaeen” (a powerful man is never castigated). MBS and the UAE khalifa whose name I forget but who too had visited India few months ago have surely read that part of Hindu literature.

These foreign leaders are intelligent. They are not kutta like you.
The author Ms. Jyoti Malhotra ‘s observation is fine that NaMo in the best national interests
did the right thing by hugging Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman during his recent
visit to New Delhi !
Ironically, as the photo makes it very evidently clear from the body language of the Prince that
the response from the visiting dignitary seems to be cold ! The NaMo hug actually appears to be
one way track !
Anyway let us all hope for the best ! May NaMo hug really strengthen India’s relations with the
Arab World especially Saudi Arabia and UAE !
Moreover, in diplomacy one does not know which hug ultimately reaps rich dividends and fruits ?
The event at Corbett National Park has drained the toxicity out of Pulwama. Any military riposte would now not carry the same sense of moral indignation and outrage. Should it result in casualties on both sides, it would lead to more questions on how efficacious the policy in dealing – or not dealing – with Pakistan has been. US NSA John Bolton was staring the obvious when he said sovereign states have the right to defend themselves. However, the global response, including from Russia, has been muted. The consequences should be very deeply thought through.
