Forget comparing it with classics like Hrithik’s Ek Pal Ka Jeena or the slick title track of Dhoom 2, Janaab-e-Aali does not even come close to Ghungroo.
India’s industrial output growth saw a 10-month low in June, with Index of Industrial Production (IIP) growing by mere 1.5% as against 1.9% in May 2025.
Standing up to America is usually not a personal risk for a leader in India. Any suggestions of foreign pressure unites India behind who they see as leading them in that fight.
The person who talked about self reliance, took it seriously earnestly and did some thing towards it. Nehru. Modi and his gang is vilifying that noble man with humanitarian heart.Think of the IITs, space program, IIMs, and corporations like BHEL, Sail and Oil companies and other enterprises which Modi and his gang of Nehru baiters sell off today.(of course there were failures like IDPL). Modi, a man with such narrow and sectarian mentality, driven by hatred intolerance and bigotry can never ever lead a country, let alone a a large one like India.History will speak for itself. Modi is the biggest disaster to have befallen on India so far. Do not know if bigger disaster will be waiting on to happen. You can be sure, as Amos Oz said before his death two years ago, that democracy is in crisis if people like Trump and Netinyahu get elected. Modi was not under his radar
The stupidity is obvious. Every country wants to or tries its best to be self reliant. No country would be dependent if it could be self reliant. But the truth is you are dependent not because you chose to be but because you dont and cannot have everything. Common sense .You cannot be self reliant in petroleum in modern technology .Your industry cannot develop a single product ?They have no budget for research and development .They reliy solely on foreign tech collaborations. Just check the Patents registry how many indian registrations. The Prime Minister must clarify doesn’t he think we are self reliant to the extent we can be. What is the self reliance in which fields and how is it going to be achieved. Is self reliance buy Indian even if it is poor quality and higher price. Would be doing injustice to India. That is the slogan of tje swadeshi jagran manch. These empty slogans are just good sound effect.
Self reliance in a globalised world is not easily defined or understood. However, strategic autonomy in the realm of foreign policy is something India has always pursued. Former NSA SS Menon believes that may have changed.
BJP people never tire of attempting to appropriate Gandhi. The comparison is silly. Gandhi’s economic ideas are regressive and would take us back to 10th century India. Merely because Modi now exhorts “Think Local”, this spokes person of BJP thinks that it it return to Gandhism. Typical intellectual laziness of Sangh Parivar. On the other hand, I am apprehensive that Think Local will become protectionist, and our manufacturers and traders, duly protected by government policies and lack of competitiion, will palm off substandard products and services to the consumers, as they were doing before the liberalisation.
Gandhi was particularly opposed to British Imperialism, though ironically he followed British customs and traditions when he was a lawyer. That was more than 75 years ago. We have come past all that, though the hypocrisy continues to flourish. The aspiration of the youth of 2020 is Modernisation and Globalisation, and they will get it no matter what tactics the present dispensation uses to brainwash them. Our Statesmen will continue to talk about “Swadeshi” and yet travel in a foreign car and wear foreign shoes. The Common Man cannot be fooled by the “Be Indian, Buy Indian” slogan or any other slogan for that matter. If the Govt cannot provide for the people and fulfill their aspirations, then they will teach the ruling dispensation a befitting lesson…in the next election.

You mean – Modi’s propaganda of self-reliant India!!

I think you took Modi seriously.
