Journalist: President Trump praised PM Modi as a tough negotiator. Does this mean India has finally arrived on the world stage?

Foreign Secretary Misri: India has been on the world stage for the last 7000 years when I last checked

He is the most beautfiul looking man. He looks so nice. He is like an angel — Trump on India’s Modi

'But actually he is as tough as a killer. He is a killer'

'But he looks so good, so he gets you by surprise'

Performative foreign policy at display by absolutely weak political leadership...

[Dr. Brahma Chellaney @Chellaney]

How Nations Earn Respect

Because of power differentials, asymmetry is inherent in international negotiations. The parties are rarely equal in economic or military strength. Yet history shows that the stronger side does not necessarily prevail, whether on the battlefield or at the negotiating table. Outcomes between nations often depend less on material capabilities than on leadership, political will, national resilience, strategy and tactics.

In 1962, China, by launching a surprise war against an unprepared India, inflicted a humiliating defeat on an economically and militarily stronger adversary. More recently, the world’s most powerful military, the United States, has struggled to achieve decisive results against a much weaker Iran.

In 1999, China was no match for American power. Yet after the U.S. bombing of the Chinese Embassy in Belgrade, which killed three Chinese nationals, Washington was compelled to pay $32.5 million in compensation for the damage and for those killed or wounded. The U.S. also issued repeated apologies for the bombing, with President Bill Clinton personally apologizing to help defuse the crisis.

In 1971, defying U.S. military pressure and nuclear blackmail, a relatively weak India helped Bangladesh secure independence in a swift 13-day military campaign that produced the largest number of prisoners of war (POWs) since the end of World War II. The operation succeeded despite President Nixon’s deployment of a nuclear-capable naval task force off the southern tip of India.

In 1998, an economically vulnerable India brushed aside U.S. sanctions threats and conducted a series of underground nuclear tests, declaring itself a nuclear-weapons state. The decision reflected a willingness to bear costs in pursuit of national objectives and ultimately became a defining moment in India's rise and strategic transformation.

In 2026, by contrast, an India widely regarded as a rising power but seemingly lacking comparable political resolve responded fecklessly to the killing of three unarmed Indian merchant mariners by the U.S. Navy, demanding neither an American apology nor compensation for the victims’ families.

These episodes differed in circumstance and scale, but they shared a common lesson: nations earn respect not merely through economic or military power, but through leadership, resolve and a willingness to defend their interests.

Respect is earned, not bestowed. Power alone does not command respect; leadership and resolve do. Without them, even a rising power may find itself unable to defend its interests, uphold its dignity or secure justice for its own citizens.

You need to quit these 7 addictions right now.

If you don't, it is better to quit the UPSC preparation journey altogether.

This is not for you.

You're failing again and again because you're not serious for this exam...

You procrastinate...you waste time and you keep doing the same mistakes again and again.

Quit these 7 addictions right now:

1. Comparison
2. Overthinking
3. Comfort zone
4. Procrastination
5. Phone addiction
6. Instant gratification
7. Validation from others

No real progress will happen if you keep repeating the same mistakes again and again.

Identify your weaknesses -> Rectify them and Win.

Handwriting matters in UPSC Mains.

For same quality answers - good handwriting will score more than poor handwriting.

Convince me otherwise.

[Mao Keji | मुखर्जी @kejimao]

India’s greatest weakness lies in having an overly advanced superstructure that is mismatched with its backward economic base and social realities. Put in simpler terms, India possesses first-world aspirations, values, and institutions, but operates with third-world economic resources, social conditions, and governance capabilities. That's why democracy as it stands now may well be a curse on India.

Scientists found that caffeine can cause "shallow sleep" that makes you feel tired regardless of how long you rest.

It keeps your brain from shutting down and ever truly going to sleep.
