Reality is that the US needs India far more than India needs the US. Yet, we kowtow to the US leaders - they treat us like dirt. No foreign leader has publicly embarrassed India's Prime Minister, who represents 1.5 billion people, more than Trump has.
Remember, in the present multipolar world, the US is one of the three great powers. We foolishly believe that we need the US, which is 12,000km away, to balance China which is our neighbour. India's crazy foreign policy is run by the intellectual @DrSJaishankar !
WELL DONE RAHUL GANDHI.
Personally speaking, I don’t care much for public posturing, ceremonial position in a queue, sequence in hierarchy on stage, seat on the table etc. In politics, however, these optics are sliced and diced. But truth is m, it shows an insecure mind, a big ego and a thin skin. Indian politics is full of this trash.
But on the Republic day celebrations , making the Leader of Opposition ( a shadow prime minister) Rahul Gandhi sit rows behind the others, shows you that we have a coarse, petty people in power, cunning, insecure and cowardly, like those sly village moneylenders seen in the 1970’s Hindi movies who have no scruples, and are shady, untrustworthy characters.
Rahul Gandhi may have things he can do better, but the decency, grace and gentlemanliness he brings to India’s current political toxicity is like a breath of fresh air. He carried himself with distinction. No fuss. Nothing. He sat where he was allocated his seat, craning his neck for a better view.
When this government is defeated, the Congress must not make the current man who will be ex-PM sit on the third row. No tit for tat. Give him respect: give him a front row seat. That will be the ultimate humiliation.
I repeat, we need a new politics. And a new leadership.
We are having constant thefts in our farm Given written application to S. O Paniara,District Maharajgunj UP. The thieves who are often in and out of jail confidently say that the Thana is in their hands because of monetary dealings.#DGPUP
@RanaAyyub Nineteen year old Juyel Rana left Murshidabad to lay bricks in Sambalpur and was beaten to death because a pack of bigots decided he looked like a foreigner even after he showed his Aadhaar. This is how casually citizenship and human life are now torn up in India.
- Church burned in Chhtisgarh over land dispute
- Muslim lynched in Bihar for religious identity
- Women manhandled in Delhi for singing christmas carol
- Boy harassed in Orissa for selling Christmas cap.
But India is heaven for Minorities.

Let’s not pretend there isn’t a silence around this.
Kashmiri lives are demonized to the point where a father takes his own life after being denied the chance to see his son- a suspect, not even proven guilty.
In the world’s largest democracy, the basic human rights of Kashmiris seem to matter less and less.
