India-EU Trade Deal Shows The World Is Moving Beyond Washington news18.com/opinion/india-eu-… American tariffs were spreading. Chinese goods faced thirty per cent rates. EU exports faced comparable pressure. The transatlantic relationship, which Europe had assumed was permanent bedrock, suddenly looked fragile. Washington was no longer pretending to play by the rules it had written 70 years earlier. It was openly treating trade as a weapon. That moment changed everything. Both India and Europe arrived at the same conclusion at roughly the same time: the rules-based trading system was cracking, and nations that did not build alternatives would be left stranded.

Sunset Of Satraps: A Modi-fied India Has Outgrown The Politics Of Fragmentation The decline of the regional satraps is not merely the fading of a few family-run parties. It marks the exhaustion of the fragmentation era itself, and the steady return of a national contest in which the BJP holds most of the cards. The important shift is the erosion of the ability of regional strongmen to define the national argument on their own terms. The old satrap model may still win elections in pockets. Yet the broader system has shifted. It is settling into two poles: a BJP pole dominating the national arena, and an anti-BJP pole with Congress, despite its weaknesses, remaining the only party with any notable pan-India reach. news18.com/opinion/sunset-of…

This is just the tip of the iceberg.

Spoke to US Secretary of State Marco Rubio this evening. I reiterated India’s strong protest at the attacks by the US Navy in the Gulf that killed three Indian mariners. Such lethal actions against commercial shipping are not justified.

What did the Indian MEA tell the US chargé d'affaires that Donald Trump has to publicly pin the blame for the attack against “Indian ships” on Iran?

Western media couldn’t care less about the three Indians murdered by the United States of America in cold blood. Unarmed civilians attacked with hellfire missiles in the open sea. This is rank cowardice, not bravery.

Oh

Quite an unprecedented situation for India. Our response cannot be ordinary.

Three vessels carrying Indian sailors have been hit by the United States of America in the past 48 hours. Three Indians are dead. Killed by America. Let that sink in.

TMC jhalmuri!

Modi 3.0: How The Setback Of June 2024 Made BJP Unstoppable June 4, 2024 did not go according to plan for the BJP. The reaction was swift and predictable. Every columnist who had spent a decade waiting for this moment reached for their keyboard. The opposition called it a people’s verdict against Modi personally. International publications questioned whether PM Modi’s grip on power was slipping. The INDIA bloc had won 233 seats – nowhere near enough to govern, but more than enough to claim the narrative – a “moral victory." For about a week, it felt like a turning point. That was two years ago. Last month, Bloomberg published a piece headlined “Resurgent Modi Paves Way to Keep Power in India Well Beyond 2030." This is the story of what changed. news18.com/opinion/modi-3-0-…

It took one protest for this circus to be exposed.

Congratulations @OilIndiaLimited ! An ocean of energy opportunities reinforced in the Andaman Sea! Very happy to report the presence of natural gas in Sri Vijayapuram-3 an exploratory well drilled by Oil India Ltd. 15 km off the east coast of the Andaman Islands at a water depth of 355 meters. Initial production testing of the well at the depth of 1900 plus meters in the Eocene formation has established the presence of natural gas through continuous flaring. Oil India is carrying out gas sampling to assess the composition & calorific value of gas and to carry out isotope studies to understand the genesis of the gas. Under the Samudra Manthan Mission (National Deep Water Exploration Mission) announced by Hon’ble PM @narendramodi Ji on Independence Day 2025, large number of deepwater & Ultra deepwater exploration wells are planned in our offshore basins to fully exploit our hydrocarbon reserves. Presence of hydrocarbon is now reported in 2(Two) wells out of 3 (Three) exploratory wells drilled by OIL in current exploratory campaign off Andaman Basin. This presence of natural gas will help us in taking forward our exploration ambitions in coordination with global deepwater exploration experts like @petrobras, @TotalEnergies, @bp_india, @Shell, @exxonmobil and will be a significant milestone in our journey through Amrit Kaal! @PMOIndia @PIB_India @PetroleumMin @mygovindia #OilIndia #EnergySecurity #Exploration #NaturalGas #Andaman
