Donald Trump on Truth Social.
50% tariff.
Plastered on India.

We didn’t blink.

EU protested.
Japan negotiated.
China retaliated.

India?
Calm.
No panic.
No midnight flights to Washington.
No “urgent bilaterals.”

Why?

Modi’s ego?
Blind nationalism?

Or… something darker?
A game running 11 years deep.

May 2014.
South Block.
First briefing.
NSA Ajit Doval leans in.

“Sir… if India wants great-power status…
expect U.S. heat.
Trade. Tech. Oil.
Our enemy isn’t China.
It’s dependency.
Tariffs.
Sanctions.
Dollar chokeholds.
Defence strings.”

The room went still.

“Solution?” Modi asked.

Doval: “Decouple risk.
Build leverage.
Not anti-U.S… pro-India.
Bring Gulf and Africa closer.
Build buffers.
Own our seas.
Weaponize our market.”

The plan lit.
And it burned for a decade.
18+ Hours Works

2014
Make in India Launched.
First hooks in the wall.

2015
Qatar LNG renegotiation.
Long-term energy locks.

2016–17
UPI goes live.
GST knits the market.
Payment diplomacy is born.

2018
Iran sanctions teach fuel-finance fortification.
Whiteboards fill with sanction-resilience drills.

2019
National Electronics Policy.
Stop just assembling.
Start owning components.

2020
PLI tsunami: ₹1.97 lakh crore.
Across 13+ sectors.
Rafales touch tarmac.

2021
Strategic Petroleum Reserves expansion.
Quiet, boring, vital.

2022
INS Vikrant sails.
UAE CEPA.
Australia ECTA.

2023
UPI - PayNow link.
Rupee trade corridors multiply.
Dollar choke-points lose bite.

2024
MIRV Agni-V test.
20-year Qatar LNG.
Chabahar Port deal.

2025
Services exports $387.5B.
U.S. slaps +25% tariff over Russian oil.

Impact?
Not existential.
RBI loosens SRVA rules.
Oil mix rebalanced.
Market weapon ready.

This wasn’t ego.
It was armour.

In 2013
GDP: $1.86 trillion.

2025: $4.19 trillion
We’re 4th-largest economy.

$17.65 trillion PPP.

GDP per capita rose,
~$1.45K to ≈$2.9K.

PPP $11,938 by 2025.
Growth stands at 6–8%,

Making us the fastest major economy.

FDI?
We went from shaky reformer to global darling
$300 billion inflows since 2014,
$81 billion in FY25 alone.

Poverty halved;
Macro stabilized;
Market confidence sky high.

I know it was Painful Journey.
We ended up Paying High Taxes.
But it was for this moments.

And yes,
It makes America uncomfortable.

Because here…
the Viceroy’s chair is empty.

Because here…
puppets have no strings.

Tariffs?
They clang against armour, not chains.

We sip our chai.
We count our tankers.
We guard our seas.
We fly our own skies.

And our finance?
Not your Colonial charity,
Thank you very much.

No, the garlands won’t go to Modi.
He’ll be mocked.
Branded.
Hated.
I’ve got my own laundry list of criticisms.

But this phase…
This pain…
This was the Agni in the furnace.

And now,
What will the West do when they can't bend Bharat?
When the memos and sanctions don’t bite?
Will the next captain keep the altitude steady?

Or…
Will we trade sovereignty for a seat at their tea party?

Your move, Sahib.

Scott Bessent and Peter Navarro justify U.S. secondary sanctions on India by claiming its Russian crude imports fuel Moscow’s war machine in Ukraine. By the same logic, India could impose 50% tariffs on surging U.S. crude and petroleum exports to India, arguing that America’s weapons supplies to Ukraine are prolonging the conflict and bloodshed.

🚨🇮🇳🇺🇸 US tariffs against India aren’t about Russian oil.

They’re about sabotaging the 'Make in India' initiative.

Here's why:🧵

@BhaavnaArora You are such a sadist person, people like you get pleasure by seeing people react to your online provocations. You need help. Prayers for you 🙏

[Navroop Singh @TheNavroopSingh]

You see where it is headed !! America is taking over Balochistan and they had eyes over it since the 1980s. The TAPI Gas Pipeline will be revived. Remember Bush, Robin Raphel, Unocal & Rabbani Government overthrow by Taliban in mid 90s ! CPEC is dead & attacks on Chinese engineers were done sponsored America hiring those rebels.

And i won't be surprised if Jafar express attack was orchestrated by that 'Friendly Country' to incite Munir for Pahalgam attack on India ! They wanted to engage India in a land war & probably embroil China into it. Where USA could then leverage it with New Delhi ! Alas the plan failed as India hit by air on Pak Airbases !

[SUHEL SETH @Suhelseth]

A country that can’t care for its animals especially dogs is not a country that is compassionate.

The Supreme Court is so so wrong on this one. Said both as a dog lover and a proud Indian. Some one needs to file a review petition! Soonest…

@WW3finalboss @NikkiHaley Do us a favour and stop the H1B visa program

This is how you can completely destroy your fear forever🤯‼️

[Dr. Brahma Chellaney @Chellaney]

Trump is turning up the heat on India to ditch Russian oil in favor of American crude. Yet, in a twist of Trumpian logic, his 25% tariff on Indian goods conveniently spares Indian exports of refined fuels like diesel and jet fuel to the U.S. — even though these very fuels are increasingly made from Russian crude. So apparently, Russian oil is toxic — unless it's been run through an Indian refinery and pumped into American planes.

[Adv. Virat Joneja @iamvirat]

@aaron95594856 @BowesChay @barnes_law By all means please suggest that to @realDonaldTrump ..it will do wonders for #India
