Disenfranchisement by institutional fiat is profoundly undemocratic. The effect of the ECI's new documentary process in Bihar will tilt the scales in favour of the BJP.
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.
Points to be noted –
1. Indian Navy Design Bureau wants to base its SSN designs on Shchuka B..partly due to the fact that no other country would share so much on subs and Shchuka B is one of the best designs when it comes to attack subs
2. Russians arent selling anything thats commissioned and is operational. They are short of subs, yasens are coming in slow and things are getting crowded again in North Pacific & Atlantic.
3. They may also need the newer hulls for Boreis
4. At the same time they need Indian money. So IMO they are letting us have Kashalot. Its a old hull, needs extensive refit to bring it back to operational levels and in process our Vizag boys would also better their learning. That explains 6 long years.
5. Contracts should be well drafted…dont forget Gorshkov
