Step 1 in deescalation must be restraining the Israelis, otherwise all efforts to negotiate will follow this pattern:
POTUS publicly announces deescalation.
Israel takes major strikes to destroy the negotiations & in turn weaken our ability to negotiate.
The war accelerates.
The Indian middle class is so obsessed with buying their way out of government failures. Saaf pani gya. RO lelo. Light gayi, inverter lelo. Gas gayi. Induction lelo. Kal ko ye desh chala jayega aur humlog blinkit/zepto pe hi baithe rahenge.
Escalating hostilities between the United States, Israel and Iran are pushing a fragile region toward wider conflict. Crores of people, including nearly a crore Indians, face uncertainty.
While security concerns are real, attacks that violate sovereignty will only worsen the crisis. The unilateral attacks on Iran, as well as Iran’s attacks on other Middle Eastern nations, must be condemned. Violence begets violence - dialogue and restraint remain the only path to peace.
India must be morally clear. We should have the courage to speak plainly in defence of international law and human lives. Our foreign policy is rooted in sovereignty and the peaceful resolution of disputes - and it must remain consistent.
PM Modi must speak up. Does he support the assassination of a head of state as a way to define the world order? Silence now diminishes India’s standing in the world.
Modi and MEA silence on Ayotollah death is clear indication the fellow Modi has sold our sovereignty already to Israel. Not even 1 word has come from MEA yet.
Pathetic governance in Delhi.
Indians celebrating an attack on Iran should first look at the colour of their own skin.
That is exactly the shade Western missiles have historically been programmed to fall on.
In the global order that you admire, you are closer to the target than the trigger.
Trump has launched an illegal regime change war in Iran with American lives at risk. Congress must convene on Monday to vote on @RepThomasMassie & my WPR to stop this. Every member of Congress should go on record this weekend on how they will vote.
Insurance in India feels like a scam.
I have an @HDFCERGOGIC Zero Dep policy for my car since the last 2 years. This was my first claim, and it was only for minor dents and scratches.
Now HDFC ERGO has approved the claim only partially. 1/6
I have paid thousands of rupees in premiums for years, and now I cannot even get minor repairs approved properly. This is extremely frustrating and disappointing.
Customers deserve fair treatment, not excuses and technical loopholes. @HDFCERGOGIC 6/6
the government insurance authority IRDAI is completely useless and toothless. They do not review the case at all. They simply ask the insurance company for a response and then close the complaint.

Elon is favorably quoting a tweet that calls Rhodesia "high civilization." Wtf???
Rhodesia was a racist state where the white 5% of the population oppressed the black 95%
I used to defend Elon against the racism charge, but I think that's who he is. He wants fewer nonwhites.
