How has Indian and Pakistani diplomacy fared in Washington since Operation Sindoor? Read "India and Pakistan Face Contrasting Challenges with the Trump White House," my latest piece in South Asian Voices @SAVoices Link in reply
Every time Owaisi raises himself to be the best, clearest voice of criticism for this government, it should serve as further shame for a certain "Leader of the Opposition" who pales in comparison
#WATCH | During the discussion on Operation Sindoor in the House, AIMIM MP Asaduddin Owaisi says, "Does your conscience allow you to ask the family members of the people who were killed in Baisaran to watch India's cricket match with Pakistan?... We are stopping 80% of Pakistan's…

This is like watching WW1 pilots slowly start to figure how to fight each other

It makes no sense for the Raksha Mantri to say this. Offer the answer yourself if you are unhappy with no one asking how many Pak planes were shot down. This is something the avg person has not had clarity on, how many Pak assets were shot down?(not just struck on the ground)
Opposition never asked how many Pak planes downed. Only asked how many own planes downed. Should have asked has Pak been punished. Focus on macro aims not on micro. Focus on aims achieved. India avenged loss of lives at Pahalgam Opposition unable to ask the right questions: RM

1930s Hindu nationalism was literally 10 dudes in Bombay. The causality runs the other way: by forcing Partition, Muslims delegitimized any attempt at a “secular” cosmopolitan culture, and facilitated the later rise of Hindu nationalism.
Partition occurred because the Indian National Congress and other Nationalist parties were overwhelmingly dominated by Hindu nationalists. The Muslim League, rightfully fearing Hindu domination, justifiably demanded an equally formidable Muslim stake. Hindus denied it.
There's a lot to be said about this nonsense, but it's shocking how much this subscribes to a zero-sum, removed from production power mindset. The entry of new industrial ecosystems creates new room for everyone, its something that does not saturate
🚨 There is no room for another China. The conditions that allowed China to rise through mass manufacturing simply no longer exist: Raghuram Rajan.
At certain point I feel like some of these IT service giants should be pressured to dissolve as market correctly shifts post-AI. Instead they should serve as incubators for their massive talent pools to start new productive business w/o baggage of IT service.

The value of transparency is lost on those that make this response

one of my favorite things about america is that it’s gauche to admit you have servants no matter how rich you are
One of a few very good americanisms that has taken root globally

Going by this, can anyone of India's defense procurement stakeholders unequivocally say that their purpose is to build out India's defense ecosystem?
You can start with housing but if you stick to a white collar economy you’re going to need to change how those jobs work so new entrants have the most security not the least. Child rearing years have to be the most stable for people in child bearing age if you want child bearing.
I’m genuinely asking btw, I want to understand your point. What does your ideal solution look like, specifically? A stronger welfare state? Job guarantees? Tighter labor markets?
I don't understand the messaging of the Indian State. Operation Sindoor is just temporary halted and not suspended, is what they have officially announced. Meanwhile, India will play Pakistan on September 14th in Dubai during the Asia Cup.

Lots of Malaysiand and Indonesians angry at Singapore for having a close relations w Israel, as if it makes it guilty, but ignore their own complicity in defacto apartheid, racial pogroms, several actual genocides

If GOI was smart, it would strategically target QCOs to products that protect domestic manufacturing (where we have enough capacity) & not stifle labour intensive manufacturing by removing some QCOs where China isn't heavily invested in anymore (like apparels).
