At the BRICS foreign ministers' conclave last month, EAM Jaishankar called out sanctions imposed outside international law as measures that "disproportionately affect developing countries." Strong words. Rightly said.
But words need backing.
India claims the mantle of the Global South. Yet when extraterritorial sanctions from Western jurisdictions disrupted a fully law-compliant Indian refinery, severing access to its own paid-for digital infrastructure, our response was a court petition. Not a law.
The EU built a blocking statute to protect its operators. China built one for policy autonomy. Canada built one for sovereignty. Each of them forced the US to think twice before letting sanctions bleed into their jurisdictions.
India is BRICS Chair in 2026. It is hosting conversations about a fairer global order. It cannot keep speaking sovereignty while leaving its own companies legally defenceless.
Enact the blocking statute. Let the law do what diplomacy alone cannot.

Iran is believed to have struck the AR-327 early warning radar installation located atop Jabal ad Dukhan, Bahrain’s highest elevation at 134 meters.
The facility is equipped with a British-built BAE Systems long range 3D air surveillance radar, capable of tracking targets up to approximately 470 kilometers away. Protected within a fixed radome, it plays a key role in monitoring Gulf shipping routes and aerial approaches to the Strait of Hormuz.
OSINT researchers geolocated smoke visible in imagery released by Iran to the radar site, pinpointing the location near 26.0375°N, 50.5420°E.
The installation forms part of a broader US aligned regional early warning and missile defense architecture that supports operations linked to the Fifth Fleet.

🚨Exposed - Congress Helped China Snatch a Major Strategic Project from an Indian company.
In September 2024, Jairam Ramesh claimed that protests against the Adani proposal in Kenya could turn into anti-India anger. What actually happened over the next two years has now made one thing crystal clear Congress didn’t just oppose a deal, they actively worked against Indian interests to benefit China.
Hence proved that Congress is Anti-India. (Thread 1/4)
@namma_vjy Little pop-ups are showing up in and around Bengaluru this afternoon/evening. Short spell of light shower too. RH high right now. Feels a bit like the TS times.
This is the condition of the Punjab mansion of Hindu businessman Todar Mal who paid 7,800 gold coins and bought 4 yards of land from the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb to bury the bodies of the 2 young sons and mother of Guru Gobind Singh on December 13, 1705.
The Mughal faujdar Wazir Khan had ordered the two young children be bricked alive as they refused to accept Islam. When they died, their grandmother died of shock
The Mughals did not want to allow the cremation to humiliate the martyrs. They stipulated that the buyer can take only as much space as he could cover with give gold coins for the land. All the Sikh chiefs just stood helplessly
That's when Todar Mal produced the coins and bought the piece of land, and cremated the three bodies.
This is biggest irony of life, India is only country where its true heritage is hidden from next generation and falsehood Is taught.
The DS identified this man as a major threat to their easy manipulation of India very early on. They desperately tried to stop him from ever leading the country.
The moment he became CM, they ignited issues, branded him with every possible label, attempted to sanction him, and even revoked his visas.
They unleashed tens of thousands of pages of propaganda reports against him, both inside India and abroad. They weaponised the opposition and the courts to flood him with cases from every direction.
Yet he overcame it all. To become the PM of the world’s largest democracy. Despite all the hit jobs, sabotage, and propaganda, he remains the most popular leader on the planet.
He has turned every adversity into an advantage. "Being Anti-fragile" is his mantra. And he has made India anti-fragile too. We have seen the nation emerge stronger from every crisis thrown at it.
I believe he will also resolve the infowar crisis. The main force behind it will be weakened and broken by him. It will be a fitting feather in his cap before he retires as not only India’s longest serving PM, but its most impactful one.
History will remember him as the one who transformed India not just in infrastructure and development, but forged a confident, self-reliant nation that stands proud on the global stage.
Police have arrested this cook who was preparing food in the kitchen of Hotel Flourish Stays, where the fire reportedly started.
Next, they should arrest the vegetable, grocery, and dairy suppliers. Had they not supplied ingredients that day, there would have been no cooking and no fire.
After that, they should arrest the farmers who grew the vegetables, the factory owners who produced the grocery items, and the cows that gave the milk.
Sabko pakad lena. Kisi ko mat chhodna. Except, of course, the officials whose job it was to inspect such establishments and flag safety violations before a tragedy occurred.
Basically, in just 12 years, India has done or exceeded what was achieved in the last 60 years. India will be able to reap the benefits of all this work only in the coming decades. And only if there's political stability. That's why the adversaries are earnestly attacking now.
🇮🇳 India in 2026 vs 2014: A Decade of Transformation
In just 12 years, India has witnessed one of the fastest infrastructure and economic expansions in its history:
✅ Digital payments: From limited adoption to 18+ billion transactions/month
✅ Airports: 74 → 160+
✅ Expressways: 1,000 km → 6,700 km
✅ Metro network: 250 km → 1,000+ km
✅ Solar capacity: 2.6 GW → 110+ GW
✅ Internet users: 25 crore → 95+ crore
✅ Defence exports: ₹700 crore → ₹23,000+ crore
✅ LPG coverage: 55% → Near universal
Behind these numbers are millions of jobs, improved connectivity, faster logistics, financial inclusion, and better access to essential services.
No country is perfect, and challenges remain—employment quality, income growth, healthcare, education, and urban planning still need sustained attention.
But when evaluating a nation, facts matter. India's infrastructure, digital ecosystem, manufacturing capacity, and global economic standing have expanded significantly over the last decade.
The story of modern India is still being written. 🇮🇳
Whether you support the government or not, which change do you think has impacted ordinary Indians the most?
#India #ViksitBharat #Infrastructure #DigitalIndia #EconomicGrowth #Manufacturing #UPI #IndiaRising
Comparisons are futile but for me one of India's greatest engineering achievements remains the 217 feet tall shadowless Brihadisvara Temple built by Raja Raja Chola I in 1010.
Crafted with giant interlocked stones and crowned by an 81 ton kumbam, it was built within six years.
I think the millions and millions of Gen-Z followers of this movement from Kansas, Palestine, Pakistan, Ivory Coast, Malaysia etc couldn't join the protests. Because they were just phones in farms that failed to instigate the Gen-Z organically in India. DS has once again failed.
