What exactly defines a ‘successful’ trade deal?

Paying inflated prices for fuel? Purchasing overpriced military hardware with zero technology transfer? Opening our markets to substandard goods and toxic agri-imports? Signing trillion-dollar investment commitments that often resemble charity, extortion, or worse—strategic dependency?

In that context, a high tariff suddenly looks like a rational option.

Why are we still chasing elusive ‘deals’ with a historically antagonistic power? Instead of pouring time and energy into negotiations that yield diminishing returns, it would be far more prudent to initiate meaningful, strategic dialogue with China.

If Russia and China—despite their own long-standing territorial disputes—can find functional, cooperative ground, why not India and China?

Ironically, what Biden managed to do with Russia and China, Trump may end up replicating with India and China. The world might eventually get a reimagined RIC, a stronger BRICS, and perhaps, finally, a SAFE PLACE AGAIN.

The Indo-US relationship is best sustained through a time-tested people-to-people framework—not burdened by transactional compulsions masquerading as strategic ties.

The term, Gen Z, is too simple a label, argues Saikat Marik.

Heard some brazilian guys were saying that they didn't know that India had a national foorball team. What a coincidence! I always knew that Brazil was the name of the football team and I just came to know that it is a nation as well!

Comparative advertising can distinguish a brand, but when does competitive creativity become disparagement? The Gillette-BSC dispute highlights why the overall impression, context and message of an ad matter under #AdvertisingLaw.

BRICS Summit 2026 highlighted how the same geopolitical event can generate sharply different #MediaNarratives. As Western and Global South media frame BRICS differently, the information environment itself is becoming increasingly #Multipolar.

Delhi HC’s Beco-HUL order highlights a key principle in comparative advertising: objection alone is not enough. The legal question is whether an ad crosses the permissible boundary under the applicable framework.

Air India's latest chapter of There's an Air About India places young cricketer Vaibhav Sooryavanshi at the centre of a narrative about ambition, national pride and a changing India.

@TrumpTruthOnX Someone said in 2024 that he could end the war within 24 hours.

@elonmusk What's your opinion on the recent tendency within popular AI commentary to conflate intelligence with consciousness? Is it deliberate and strategic, or sheer incompetence?

[Saikat Marik @powerbanky]

@Matt_Pinner The rebranding was not just another renaming. It aimed for the X AI integration and had a wechat like interface (which it still tries to aim for) - so X seems good.

@driscoll13_n @AP US does need China for sure but does China need the US? Nope brother. Stay blessed. US is going to face hard time due to stupid policy decisions.

[Saikat Marik @powerbanky]

@lucifer_damned Sorry lucifer! Your scathing criticism against a political leader is understandable. But please refrain from bringing the Indian Army in such a discussion. Suddenly from a constructive critic, you make yourself look like a buffoon or "fool" (in your own words).

[Saikat Marik @powerbanky]

You are missing the crucial part that no one wants the world economy to be disrupted other than Rabid Trump! Also, if you portray everything in black and white, let me ask you how India and US managed to have some 'tie' where historically US was always with India's enemy? If that is possible why not India and China. Please open your eyes and refrain from wishful thinking.

[Saikat Marik @powerbanky]

America now truly needs to be great again — and for that, we must thank none other than Rabid Trump himself.
The man who turned a slogan into a self-fulfilling prophecy — just in reverse.

Pakistan and Beggar Trump - a match made in delusion!

One roams the globe with a begging bowl in both hands.

The other? With a begging bowl in one hand… and a machine gun in the other.

No wonder they get along so well!!

@nitishrajput No question of bowing down to a bully who had always taken the side of our enemy!

[Saikat Marik @powerbanky]

@MajorPoonia Pathetic! So unbecoming of someone having an army/armed force background.

[Saikat Marik @powerbanky]

@beatsinbrief All eyes on Russia-India-China!

[Saikat Marik @powerbanky]

The question is possibly not about weakness or strength! It is rather India's behaving like a state that it has earned to become. And so far things going to the inevitable RIC ailliance. The US would be the only sufferer here as a country because it has unfortunately chosen the worst president in the history of the US.
