This👇is wht Pakis wud like to believe. Practically, Indians have no upside to engaging w/Pakis - trade is miniscule, Paki science is Lal Masjid level, tourism will merely increase jihadi traffic into India. Good riddance is wht we did in 1947, let it be a status quo..

USCRIF has no locus standi to sit in judgment over the constitutional rights of Indian citizens.

Its habitual partisan, ill-informed, and jaundiced assessments cannot diminish India’s constitutional commitment to religious freedom and equal rights for all faiths.

India flourishes defying the agenda-driven partisan narratives of the USCIRF.

Taking the same liberty that USCIRF so readily assumes, a word of advice: introspect on your own prejudices and stop lecturing others.

Ex 101👇of why @Barugaru1 was spot on abt the utility of India-Americans in policy positions. They are utterly useless, nay detrimental to the Indian cause.

By derivation, ex 101 why OCIs are useless to the Indian cause...

When you think natl security is divorced frm $, you get a Soviet Union.

When those $ are spent to preserve marriage mkt equities of cntry peasants, well....

India is a society built on hindu heritage and a nation-state steeply imbibed w/hindu values. Just as US has judeo-xtian heritage. Sooner this is understood by those standing for exceptionalisms, sooner they will be mainstreamed...

[Somnath Mukherjee @somnath1978]

We have a penchant for self-rationalising. A wounded DJT, unencumbered frm another term, can be more belligerent in ext relations, much of which doesnt need legislative approval. One way or another, India is a minor cog, no side is looking for our score on the balance sheet..

[Somnath Mukherjee @somnath1978]

"Own terms" was done in 1947. Its not a gift horse that can keep giving. World's primary hindu cntry cannot agree to a continuous stream of exceptionalist demands weakening the edifice of the republic...

This👇is wht Sh Hasina was tamping down for 15 yrs. This is the genie released by the champagne liberalati's "inspirational street driven regime chg"...

[Somnath Mukherjee @somnath1978]

If street thuggery was allowed to dictate policy, and Modi has allowed it a few.too many times, time's not far when India wud go the BD/Nepal way. Nuisance value of a tiny cohort of riffraffs shd not hold the Indian state to ransom..

A cntry-illiterate version of Jinnah. Started off as a pin-up boy selling Liril soaps, ended by cavorting w/the Taliban and conjuring up islamist terror on India.

No sympathy for the guy, was always a closet islamist - said a match agnst India was "jihad" for Pak cricketers..

[Somnath Mukherjee @somnath1978]

Shdnt surprise the Brits. As an even poorer cntry, we pulled British chestnuts out of the fire twice, in 1915 and 1939. Economist interns frm Manchester Uni sociology courses are, well...

[Somnath Mukherjee @somnath1978]

In the last 10-15 yrs, athletes cant even complain abt $, exposure, facilities - GOI (+ bunch of pvt initiatives) today provide them at world-best levels. And there are some insane state payouts for winning medals, somethg v few cntries have. Its mostly all on the athletes..

[Somnath Mukherjee @somnath1978]

Remove reservations, and sociological gymnastics explaining why teenagers are cruel within their social circles will disappear. Ire on quotas isnt a fn of caste, but fact that someone has entered a 99% sanctum w/40% marks. Starting pt is a red herring - applies across castes.

[Somnath Mukherjee @somnath1978]

Last 2 yrs have brutally, in a grand ubiquitous fashion, brought home the utter mediocrity of India as a nation-state. All Vishwaguru pretensions have been punctured w/a level of statecraft violence that has never been so vivid earlier...

[John Pang 彭润年 @jynpang]

It's amazing how you now have to translate things into kindergarten terms to explain the principle of reciprocity to a grown-up western liberal audience.

[Somnath Mukherjee @somnath1978]

It will be good for the US to impose 100% tariff. Maybe that will wake us up. For starters, the asinine spectre of 100% dependence on US engines for the future fighter fleet we have stumbled in to shd be fixed.

[Somnath Mukherjee @somnath1978]

India has no friends, even if some world leaders are "Modiji's friend". We dont represent a globally fashionable woke cause, we are not part of a x-cntry ideological strain, we are not rich enuf.

Default wiring shd be neutral vis a vis all cntries...

Who else but Nimisha Sajayan delivers one of the best performances of the year in BABITA SINGH REPORTING, yet another solid and grounded investigation of Indian margins.

Horrible tenor. India is the pre-wminent power, and we are bailing out BD. Why shd we be grovelling for a visit?

[Rajiv Bhatia @bhatia_rk]

Excellent brief on India - Myanmar ties as they stand today, by a former mandarin in the Indian Ministry of External Affairs.
India's policy approach has been presented crisply and objectively.
