This criticism misses the point entirely. When Prime Minister Modi engages with the Indian diaspora abroad, he is not addressing a “troupe”; he is engaging one of India’s greatest strategic assets. The Indian diaspora serves as a bridge between nations, strengthens economic and cultural ties, influences public opinion, and amplifies India’s interests across the world. Showcasing India’s rich and diverse cultural heritage is not a distraction from diplomacy, it is diplomacy. Every major power invests in soft power because influence is built not only through negotiations behind closed doors but also through ideas, culture, identity, and people-to-people connections. The results are visible. Indians today enjoy unprecedented visibility, respect, and stature globally. The diaspora has become a force multiplier for India’s economic, technological, academic, and geopolitical influence. From boardrooms and universities to legislatures and innovation hubs, people of Indian origin are shaping global conversations while strengthening India’s standing. As for substantive engagement, Prime Minister Modi’s foreign visits routinely deliver outcomes on trade, technology, defence, energy, critical minerals, mobility, and strategic partnerships. Those agreements are negotiated and announced through official channels. Public outreach and diaspora engagement complement those efforts; they do not replace them. Critics would do well to stop whining endlessly about optics and start engaging with outcomes. If there is substantive criticism to be made, make it. Dismissing cultural outreach and diaspora engagement merely reveals a poor understanding of how modern diplomacy and global influence actually work.

Looking for a team of 10-12 cracked researchers & engineers to build a new AI Lab in India. Funding and compute secured. DMs open.

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.

This gets worse. So not only did the US Navy fire two missiles and kill three Indian sailors they refused to rescue the 24 Indian crew despite saying they are on fire, the vessel is sinking and that they are an all Indian crew. The Omanis rescued them.

A PROMISING INDIAN FUTURE CUT DOWN BY AN ILLEGAL BLOCKADE IN AN ILLEGAL WAR SPARKED BY TRUMP'S HUBRIS. This is 23 year old ADITYA SHARMA a young man earning a honest living to support his family and secure his future. His father RAJESH SHARMA spoke to CNN NEWS 18: "i spoke to him on phone last sunday. In evening i was in jalandhar when i came to know of this news. On 27th novemebr my son left for china from dubai via singapore. Last month he told me he is going to OMAN. He told me a day later that the captain is planning to enter gulf so i got anxious and now my worst fears have come true."

India's biggest development challenge was never a lack of ambition. It was the politics of delay, disruption, and opposition. ▶️ The 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐭, which once produced nearly 40% of India's refined copper, was shut down after sustained protests, turning India from a net exporter into a net importer of copper. ▶️ The 𝐒𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐚𝐫 𝐒𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐫 𝐃𝐚𝐦 faced decades of resistance before finally delivering water security, irrigation, electricity, and economic transformation across large parts of western India. ▶️ Today, the 𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐍𝐢𝐜𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐫 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭 faces similar opposition, despite its potential to strengthen trade, connectivity, and India's strategic presence near the Malacca Strait. Watch how the stories of Sterlite, Narmada, and Great Nicobar reveal a recurring pattern: when critical infrastructure projects are stalled, the cost is borne by India's growth, self-reliance, and strategic interests. The real question is whether transformational projects will move forward — or remain trapped in a cycle of politics and obstruction. 👉

Now that Delhi Police has arrested the cook, they should also arrest the sweeper, the security guard, the receptionist and the liftman. Arrest everyone but the corrupt MCD engineers, the inept fire dept officials and the extortionist local police personnel.

As the fire was raging, people were ready to jump to escape the fire. This mattress shop guy, pulled out 20-22 new mattresses from his shop. Laid out on the road. And saved lives of absolute strangers. He knew nobody would pay him. Govt should compensate!

Client wanted to localize an imported plastic steel lunchbox. For over a year, he's faced nightmares: -Endless factory delays -Horrible product finishing -Sky-high local quotes -Scrapped injection moulds -Suppliers ghosting him He was completely stuck. I told him to send me clear photos, videos, and exact dimensions. The moment I saw the design, I could tell the moulds had to be engineered in China. There was no other way. I immediately leveraged my China network and located the exact factory manufacturing this specific line. I negotiated with them to produce the custom moulds for us and supply the internal components. Quotations were shared. The buyer confirmed: “Project is feasible.” Samples are already on their way to India. All this in just 48 hours. That’s my superpower. That’s the Swadeshify moat. 🇮🇳💪

What a coincidence! 4 people travelling in different parts of country on different dates, all had worst experience and clicked the same pic But if someone exposes their toolkit they will be labeled as Bhakts. They just hate how railways keeps adding new Vande Bharats

Karuvi update: these are the major issues that come up in power tools design. At 11000 rpm, does it overheat, does it vibrate too much and does it produce too much noise? We have to find parts that work well and are also price competitive. Low end Chinese power tools won't pass all the tests but they are very cheap. We decided we have to pass all the tests the Japanese and German tools would pass. Finally we have the product that meets that quality bar shipping to trial customers locally. Tooling costs are another major issue. We are planning a tool room. All this has taught us a lot of lessons. We will roll out a full line of tools later this year. To build anything that truly lasts, it takes time!

Dharmendra Pradhan should go. Javadekar, and Nishank were removed from the Education Ministry for far less than what has unfolded under Pradhan's tenure. The govt should not worry about whether Congress will portray his removal as a political victory. Let them. They are irrelevant. The govt is answerable to students and parents, and they are increasingly disillusioned by repeated paper leak controversies, CBSE evaluation discrepancies, contentious UGC regulations, and a series of avoidable crises. In recent years, there has rarely been this level of public anger directed at the Education Ministry. Pradhan's removal should be followed by an independent probe to determine whether tender rules were altered or interpreted in a manner that favoured Coempt Edutech, and whether any conflict of interest exists between the company and anyone associated with the Education Ministry. Public confidence in the education system must be restored.

Traffic. Roads. Garbage. Water. Corruption. Bureaucracy. Apathy. With Bengaluru’s most powerful citizen voices, we hopped onto a bus through a BEAUTIFUL city that needs help. Can CM @DKShivakumar deliver? 5PM, @NDTV

Dear Ministry of Culture, To whoever wrote this paragraph: “Civilizational inheritance is not just about geography or ruins; it is defined by living customs, symbols, rituals, and an unbroken cultural consciousness. India is the enduring living continuity of the Indus-Saraswati Civilization.” Take a bow! 👏
