50% people die in India without medical care. Absolutely shocking and no one is accountable for it. We either don't have enough hospitals or people just can't access them because they're too expensive.

@realDonaldTrump says India has been taking advantage of the US but he has `reversed' the situation. Is optimistic about India-US trade deal. Facing such barbs on top of Section 301 tariff threats, India needs to watch out! My story in @businessline

The story strictly follows script. @USTradeRep proposes Sec 301 12.5% duties on India for forced labour as US trade team visits for trade talks. 2nd Sec301 report may impose more. Will India cave in and agree to 18% US tariffs? My story in @businessline

US wants India to accept trade deal with 18% tariffs "locked-in" assuring there won't be additional Sec 301 levies. But India must eliminate/bring down tariffs on all industrial and most farm goods. Will New Delhi bite the bait? My story @businessline

Despite 20 yrs of petitions, U'khand's Dumak village has no road, forcing residents to walk for kms, carrying sick to faraway hospitals, says Prem S Sanwal, former village head. I met him in Dumak in 2007! Still fighting.😞
