Why India is Importing so much Chinese steel ? BigMint Updates
India’s steel imports are rising, and China accounts for a significant share of incoming HRC volumes. But the story is far more complex than it appears.
Why are Indian manufacturers importing Chinese steel despite higher domestic production? And why is much of this material never actually consumed in India?

Joseph Vijay became Chief Minister.
The people celebrated democracy.
But did they actually choose?
Meet Santiago Martin.
Lottery King.
Political donor.
Diplomat.
And perhaps the most powerful man in South Indian politics.
Net worth?
More than ₹6,000 crore.
The official story sounds beautiful.
A poor child labourer.
From Myanmar.
He returns to Coimbatore with nothing.
Starts small.
Builds an empire.
India loves these stories.
But reality moved very fast.
By 1987,
Martin already operated five lottery shops simultaneously.
Five.
Not one struggling tea stall.
Not one roadside counter.
Five operational lottery businesses.
A poor migrant becoming a king in a few years.
Almost cinematic.
Nobody asked where the capital came from.
Then came the raids.
Income Tax hit nearly 70 locations.
ED uncovered shell companies.
Benami properties.
False liabilities.
Unaccounted income.
The numbers became absurd.
₹595 crore allegedly undisclosed.
350 shell entities.
₹3,000 crore properties under questionable structures.
₹15,000 crore annual turnover from linked illegal companies.
Then came a death.
His cashier Palanisamy was interrogated.
Two days later, he was found dead in a pond.
The story disappeared quietly.
Tamil Nadu moved on.
Martin did not.
Instead, he funded everybody.
DMK got the Highest.
TMC.
BJP.
YSRCP.
₹1,368 crore in electoral bonds.
Now pause there.
Because his declared yearly profit was around ₹49 crore.
Yet he donated multiple times that amount politically.
So where does the real money come from?
Myanmar appears.
Bhutan appears.
Nepal appears.
Martin Myanmar.
Lottery monopolies.
Cross-border structures.
Then another layer appears.
Liberia.
Martin served as Consul General for Liberia.
That is not just a title.
That means diplomatic access.
Diplomatic insulation.
Diplomatic corridors.
And then Vatican appears.
Pope Benedict XVI personally issued an Apostolic Blessing.
It was given to Martin and his family.
Most Catholics never even see the Pope closely.
Martin received one of the Vatican’s highest symbolic recognitions.
Then came the ecosystem around him.
Foundations.
Church-linked networks.
Civil society connections.
International coordination.
Meanwhile, Tamil Nadu’s anti-conversion law vanished.
The same political ecosystem received massive funding.
The same ecosystem also defended conversion activity.
Connect the dots yourself.
Now fast forward to 2026.
Martin’s wife wins through AIADMK.
Declared assets: ₹5,683 crore.
His son wins through NDA-backed politics in Puducherry.
His son-in-law Aadhav Arjuna rises through TVK.
Now positioned No.2 in Joseph Vijya’s Cabinet.
One family.
Three rival camps.
All victorious.
That is not political luck.
That is board control.
Tamil Nadu thinks it elected leaders.
Maybe it only selected players already placed on the board.
And maybe the real question is not who Santiago Martin funds.
But who Santiago Martin ultimately serves.
Robert Caldwell to Joseph Vijay (Thread)
May 2026
Joseph Vijay, first ever Christian CM of Tamil Nadu
But foundation for this event was laid 170 years ago by Christian missionary Robert Caldwell.
A detailed thread
How Tamil Identity Was Weaponized Against Its Hindu roots
1/26
In Tamil Nadu, the BJP being in power at the centre has been used by essentially all the parties to demonize them. The DMK made "attack Modi" as their only plank. EdappadiDMK (that is the correct name) would have done the same thing if the Congress had switched over to them. In Tamil, we call this பூச்சாண்டி காட்டுதல் - like my grandmother would tell me as a kid "that tree next to the pond has a ghost that will catch you, so don't go near it" to keep me away from swimming in the pond! Modi is their favorite பூச்சாண்டி.
So when someone parrots the line "we want to keep the BJP out of Tamil Nadu", they are saying "we don't want competition for our cozy duopoly", not some deep principle. The BJP has been in alliance in AP and Pondicherry and those states are doing fine, they are making excellent progress. Yet TN is supposedly "different".
The "difference" was the BJP getting into alliance with these same parties (EDMK or DMK) that want to openly or secretly suppress them in TN.
What is the way ahead? Find good youthful passionate leadership that are willing to fight the good fight long term. Focus on building up the party from the grassroots. Ignore all the பூச்சாண்டி business. Do not align with anyone who claims "TN is different". TN is Bharat. We have to fight this subterranean separatism.
Annamalai was making progress but he needed a lot more time. He was creating a genuine political movement, he invited youth to be active in politics and he had massive engagement.
I would have volunteered for this assignment too (I love building up from zero!) but I am neck deep in tech and Bharat needs deep tech. So not in this life time. To be very clear, I will state my political views (my right to free speech) but I will not be in active politics.
I hope all our educated citizens do engage in this political debate and express their opinions, but let us all do it RESPECTFULLY.
