The US granted India leniency on purchasing Russian oil amidst the Strait of Hormuz tensions, not because India sought permission, but because Delhi had consistently defied Western sanctions during the Ukraine war.

India continued to buy Russian oil, undeterred by US-Euro sanctions, prioritizing its energy needs. The US, keen to project power and appease its domestic audience, turned a blind eye—acknowledging India's strategic autonomy.

This trifecta—trade ties with the US, defense cooperation with Israel, and continued access to Chabahar—illustrates Delhi’s deft balancing act: hedging against instability while capitalizing on shifting power dynamics to emerge as a key player in the new regional order #US_Israel
India’s recent pivot toward the United States—marked by aggressive new trade deals—is not a knee-jerk reaction to American pressure or tariff threats looming over the Modi government. Rather, it reflects a calculated strategic reorientation.

Fast forward to today: with Iran’s Supreme Leader Khamenei gone, the United States is poised to shape the emerging Iranian regime. Meanwhile, India retains its strategic foothold at Chabahar port, a vital conduit to Afghanistan and Central Asia.

Acting with foresight, India dispatched a high-level visit to Israel just two days before the war broke out, securing access to cutting-edge Iron Dome technology—a move that bolstered its defense capabilities and signaled alignment with the US-Israel bloc. (3)
Delhi had long been reading the geopolitical tea leaves: an imminent US-Israel confrontation with Iran was brewing, and when that conflict erupted, India needed to position itself on the right side of the equation to safeguard its energy security, regional and global standing.(2)
We have faced a 100x increase in Arattai traffic in 3 days (new sign-ups went vertical from 3K/day to 350K/day). We are adding infrastructure on an emergency basis for another potential 100x peak surge. That is how exponentials work.
As we add a lot more infrastructure, we are also fine tuning and updating the code to fix issues as they arise. We have all-hands-on-deck working flat out.
As a matter of fact, we had planned on a big release by November, with a lot of the features you expect, a huge capacity addition and a marketing push. And then it suddenly went vertical!
We have a lot more planned for Arattai, please give us some time. Thank you for your patience and support! Jai Hind 🙏
Today, I heard a very disturbing story about how India's national security is at risk. It came from a friend who recently visited Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
After landing, he checked into a hotel and was speaking with a man at the reception desk. The man, who worked there, asked my friend where he was from. My friend replied that he was from India.
While talking, my friend was trying to figure out the man's accent and asked if he was from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. The man laughed and said, "Haha, good catch. Actually, my i am from Peshawar, Pakistan."
Then he said something shocking: "But I have an Indian passport."
Yes, you read that right - and my friend was shocked too. The man went on to explain that since the Malaysian govt/other countries don't offer visa on arrival for Pakistanis and because it's cheaper to get an Indian passport than to bribe Pakistani officials for a visa, he took the Indian route.
At this point, my friend was both scared and shocked. He asked the man, “How did you get an Indian passport if you're a Pakistani?”
The man smiled and replied, “I went to Hyderabad, India, and stayed there for 1 month. I paid 3 lakhs to agents who arranged a job for me abroad along with an Indian passport. Within 1 month, the passport was delivered.”
Just imagine the level of corruption involved. When I applied for my passport recently, it took me 2 months. But here, a Pakistani with a fake address, fake name, and fake documents gets an Indian passport in just 1 month?
This is a serious national security issue. I have no idea what our intelligence agencies are doing, but this is happening right under their nose. The person sitting next to you might not even be Indian but a Pakistani or Bangladeshi.
I can tell why one group in India develops hate for another or some leader over time. It is mental programming. If I have the resources, I can make you hate Modi or even your mother using certain methods of seeding discontent, hate, and contempt for that person or group.
There's a method to it and there's science. What Pakistanis and Chinese are doing is this sort of social engineering within India to break India easily using just information warfare.
They are using critical theory methods and advanced targetted psyops using tech to target groups and program them.
I have seen some people get very triggered and upset when I point out "there are many accounts that are not Indian" creating hate and divide." They retort "No! They are all Indian. See this guy is Indian, that one is really Indian."
Yes, there will always be viciously hateful people within every community. It is natural in every society. But they are NOT the only reason there's so much of hate and animosity between groups in India.
They are only used as useful pawns in an organized hate and divide operation that is affecting everyone's mental health. Foriegn actors fuel hate and incite these types. They in turn incite more. It is a very simple crowd psychology they are using.
Even the triggered and upset behavior of some when I point out an outside hand is due to such foreign run operations. As these people are now 100% programmed and certain it is really that group hating them. So anything said contrary to their programmed assumptions triggers them.
Now what is the point of Modi ji always reaching out to Sikhs or doing betterment of Muslims. Or India aiding Nepal or Sri Lanka? When India is letting the Pakis and Chinese erode every goodwill in a matter of days?
It is now so bad that these fake account farms acting as Hindus are attacking Modi and seeding discontent and contempt for him within Hindus. Though it is very difficult to gain traction, there is definitely momentum I see.
The opposition needs 80% of Muslim and Sikh votes, and just 20% of Hindu votes. If they can manage that they win. If this happens organically in a democracy that's fine.
But when Pakistan and China will make it happen and our govt will sit watching, then they are betraying India, its people, its democracy and the PM too. Because the PM can't be expected to handle all this.
I will call whoever in govt and whatever depts turning a blind eye and being apathetic to this social media based war on India, inside India and outside, a traitor of the country and PM Modi.
Period.
If USA has the right to bomb Iran because Iran is a rough nation and is making Nuclear bombs, with same logic, doesn't India also have the right (in fact, more right) to bomb Pakistan because Pakistan is also a rough nation, worse than Iran, has nuclear weapons, and sponsors terrorism in India?
-Iran may have nuclear
-Pakistan has nuclear
-Pakistan attacked and killed Indian civilians
-Iran didn't attack USA, didn't kill any American citizen
-India attacked Pakistan to avenge the terror attack
-USA attacked Iran to ensure they don't have nuclear
-Modi was asked to maintain peace
-Trump is being hailed as a hero
West privilege?
@BhavikaKapoor5 Worst part is this terrorist gave a speech to cut NorthEast India from Mainland India and you are justifying the statement. I am from Assam and some random guy dares to give this statement then yes he is a terrorist and should be held behind bars. Stop propagating your narrative.
