On July 2, Bank of Baroda told the stock exchanges that its Abu Dhabi branch had paid $600 million, about ₹5,700 crore, to settle a case on a collapsed hospital chain in the Middle East. In the same breath, it said it had admitted no liability and done nothing wrong.

India’s Escapism

Since last year, clear signs have emerged of a fundamental shift in U.S. policy toward India. The indicators are difficult to ignore: the latest U.S. National Security Strategy barely mentions India; the U.S. deputy secretary of state declared from Indian soil that Washington would not allow India to grow into an economic rival; the U.S. assistant secretary of state stated that the principal objective of American policy in South Asia is to prevent any single power from dominating the subcontinent; and Washington recently dropped “Indo” from the name of its Indo-Pacific Command. These developments come amid the declining salience of the Quad and an apparent revival of the term “Asia-Pacific” at the expense of “Indo-Pacific.”

The implication is increasingly difficult to dismiss. Washington no longer appears to view India’s rise as inherently beneficial to U.S. interests. Instead, it is beginning to see India as a potential economic and regional competitor whose power should be managed and constrained. U.S. interest in India is now largely focused on securing greater access to its vast market and gaining greater strategic access.

The 50% punitive tariffs imposed on India last year, efforts to make India more dependent on U.S. or U.S.-aligned energy supplies, the lopsided trade framework agreement of February, and the looming bilateral trade deal all underscore these shifting U.S. priorities.

Yet Prime Minister Modi appears unwilling to acknowledge the writing on the wall. This week he told President Trump that bilateral relations had “progressed significantly” since their last meeting in February 2025. In reality, the relationship has suffered a series of major setbacks during that period. Meanwhile, India’s foreign minister continues to speak of “deepening partnership across domains.”

Rather than acknowledge the implications of Washington’s policy shift, the Modi administration continues to promote a narrative of deepening strategic convergence, thereby deflecting questions — and opposition attacks — about whether its assumptions regarding the U.S. have been overtaken by developments.

K Annamali has in-depth knowledge of Mahabharata.. How beautifully he has described Bharat ..
Hoping Tamilnadu will give him what he deserves and respects and honours him... He has too much of regards for Modiji and moving away from Modiji to be on his own for the sake of Tamil Nadu are the qualities of a true patriot ❤️
As he is on his own now I hope he gets the required financial support from the people of TN because he is not Joseph Vijay he is the son of a farmer

[Anand Ranganathan @ARanganathan72]

I fully back @narendramodi’s call for austerity measures. But austerity must be guided by cost-benefit analysis, not emotion. Reducing Prime Minister’s security convoy is downright suicidal and exactly what our enemies want. India’s security depends on Modi’s security.

With this video, I’m launching a national health movement against false marketing in packaged food!

This time I’m not alone. Many influencers, celebrities, doctors and sports stars have UNITED to fight against false marketing!

Every week we hear of a new food issue affecting the country! Infant milk sugar, children’s health drinks, Indian chips having palm oil and the masala-cancer issue are just a few of them.

If the majority of Indians started reading labels, companies would be forced to stop false marketing and give us better quality food!

I invite the entire country to pledge to start reading labels now.

Let us all unite to make India the health capital of the world instead of the diabetes capital of the world!

Label Padhega India, tabhi toh swasth banega India!

Let’s break the internet.

Why do I feel Foodpharmer has sparked a revolution in India? Here’s a simple example- he made a straightforward video exposing the ingredients in Nutella, one of India’s most beloved chocolate spreads, often marketed as a staple on kids’ breakfast tables. Every parent should watch this video.

This is the only reason I have stopped going to any big temple. Ordinary people are treated like garbage and the VIPs are treated like literal Gods. Go to the temple nearby your house instead, pray there, Bhagwan sab jagah ek samaan hi hain.

The 28-Day “Monthly” Recharge SCAM.

I raised this in Parliament today.

Telecom companies call their plans “monthly” — but they last only 28 days.

That means prepaid users pay for 13 recharges in a year instead of 12.

28 days × 13 recharges = 364 days

If it’s monthly, it should follow the actual calendar month.

Consumers deserve better. Not these clever tricks.

On the night of May 20, 2025, a little girl in a faded pink frock fell asleep on her mother’s lap at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus. Her parents, simple people from Solapur, had come to Mumbai for her father’s treatment. They were exhausted. Just for a moment, the mother closed her eyes.

When she opened them, her daughter was gone.

Six months.
Six months of walking from police station to police station.
Six months of showing the same crumpled photograph to strangers on trains, in slums, in orphanages.
Six months of the father not sleeping, the mother not eating, both of them growing hollow-eyed, whispering the same name into the dark: “Aarohi… Aarohi…”

In Varanasi, a thousand kilometres away, a tiny girl with no memory of her real name was learning to call herself “Kashi.” She had been found crying near the railway tracks in June, barefoot and terrified. The orphanage gave her food, a bed, and a new name. She smiled easily, because children always do, but sometimes at night she clutched the edge of her blanket and asked for “Aai” — Marathi for mother — and no one understood.

Back in Mumbai, the police refused to close the file. They printed posters with Aarohi’s face, stuck them on every platform from Lokmanya Tilak Terminus to Bhusawal to Varanasi Cantt. They ran newspaper ads, knocked on doors, begged journalists for help. Six months is a long time for hope to stay alive, but some officers carried her photograph in their shirt pockets like it was their own child.

Then, on November 13, a local reporter in Varanasi saw the poster. Something clicked. He had seen a girl who spoke Marathi words in her sleep. He made a phone call.

The next morning, a Mumbai Police inspector sat in front of a laptop in Varanasi and opened a video call. On the screen appeared a little girl in a pink frock — the same colour she was wearing the day she vanished. The mother, standing behind the officer in Mumbai, saw her daughter and collapsed without a sound. The father just kept repeating, “That’s my Aarohi… that’s my baby…”

They flew her back on Children’s Day — November 14.

When the plane landed, the entire Mumbai Crime Branch was waiting. They had bought her balloons and a new frock, sky blue this time. But the moment the little girl stepped out and saw the sea of khaki uniforms, she did something no one expected.

She ran.

Not away — toward them.

Tiny legs pumping, arms outstretched, she threw herself at the nearest officer and laughed — the purest, clearest laugh that had been missing from the world for half a year. The officer, a tough man who had seen everything, felt his eyes burn. He lifted her high, and she wrapped her arms around his neck like he was family.

Her parents were crying too hard to walk. So the policemen carried their daughter to them.

The mother touched her face again and again, as if checking she was real. The father fell to his knees and pressed his forehead to his child’s tiny feet, sobbing words no one could understand except God.

And the little girl? She just kept smiling, looking from her parents to the officers and back again, completely unaware that she had turned an entire police station into a sobbing, laughing, praying family.

Six months of darkness ended in one hug.

Aarohi is home now.
The kidnapper is still out there, but that is tomorrow’s fight.

Today, a mother is singing lullabies again.
Today, a father is smiling in his sleep.
And somewhere in Mumbai, there are policemen who will never forget the weight of a four-year-old girl in their arms — the weight of an entire life returned.

Sometimes the uniform doesn’t just catch thieves.
Sometimes it carries lost children all the way back to their mothers’ hearts.

The current situation between India and Pakistan has resulted in growing support for a boycott of goods and travel to Turkey and Azerbaijan. And rightly so. It is also important that we maintain consistency and apply long-term thinking.

However, we cannot be selective.

China’s strong support of Pakistan is well documented, both economically as well as militarily, and will have far reaching consequences for India’s security and sovereignty. This then, raises an extremely vital question - “ Are we applying our boycotts equally across the board or being selective?”

China poses a far greater and constant threat to our country and therefore, must be viewed in the same, in fact, even stronger light than Turkey and Azerbaijan.

THIS IS BIG! 🚨

Pune Police submits report confirming POLITICAL INTERFERENCE in the Pune Porsche case of last year. Report now with Maharashtra Home Dept explixitly nails netagiri for the teen’s family.

Will the Maha Govt act or will only cops & docs pay the price?

My take:

[jefin g thomas @jefin85]

@ShashiTharoor Congratss 👏 finally, we did it
