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.
Mohammad Amir’s crime was greater – his involved betting. If Steve smith was involved in betting should have meant life. But in this case one or two years should do.
Too fanatical to ban Smith. He definitely did something worth ban of 2/3 test matches. But a lifetime ban? You are just crazy. Surely they over stepped their boundaries and are rightly being hounded by everyone. Cricket will suffer if we get too rigid. Except perhaps when one betrays his own team no other action on the field deserves a lifetime ban.
I highly doubt Indians are best placed to comment on ethics in cricket. Tendulkar, Harbhajan have lied at worst, and used a mother-abuse at best at Sydney. Tendulkar was been caught tampering, so has Dravid. Kohli has lied besides being routinely abusive. The win-at-any-cost attitude and ugly manners are Indian staples. And none of them have even accepted wrongdoing. We can live endlessly in denial that Indians have been so gentlemanly. But sorry, India has been down that path for a long time now. And everyone has feted and admired Kohli for his abominable behaviour. Smith will face punishment commensurate with ball tampering and Md Aamir faced his for fixing. But don’t assume Australians are the only ones on this macho trip. Indians are exactly that.
Then this episode should serve as an apt warning to Indians who may have started believing that the ‘Aussie macho way’ is the right way to do it. Kohli, above all, must remember how many kids follow him and all he does. Now show them that macho, abusive aggression is not the best way. I’m sure he’s clever enough to find other ways to retain his icon status and following.

Steve Smith was part of a group that went on strike for better conditions for Junior players.
Lets follow the money and see how this goes.
The simultaneous outpouring of hatred from the media and baying for blood shrieks payback to me.
