Gollum Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 We are in Amrit Kaal, heading towards Vishwaguru status maybe in 20 years time . Hope our ICFers based in USA, UK, Canada, elsewhere come back to their motherland in the near future. ravishingravi, coffee_rules and Lord 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried coming back in 2015 and I can’t afford a job that pays for all my family needs, hoping to retire in Bharat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaneda has been a thorn in our flesh ever since 1985. All posturing is from their side treating India with a supremacist attitude, . Really wish India has display a Republic day tableau with India army killing Khalistanis and claim it is FOE.

Today, I claim one main identity - a human with my individual culture with bhoomi as my homeland. In any case, I wonder how thinly do we need to slice bhoomi to define one's janmabhoomi? My father was born in Kerala. He moved from Kerala to Kolkata to Bengaluru. Should he have moved back to Kerala to fulfill some cultural obligation? Should I return to Bharat? Should I return to Karnataka? Bengaluru? Rajajinagara? Chord Road? And who decides? Sunday afternoon musings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just the public "you are not invited to this party" from one side and "You are so mean I am going to cry" from the other side that I am criticizing.

Neither of the parties have confirmed anything. He has not been insulted in anyway. Ofcourse given his conduct, he has been duly given the required diplomatic respect and no more. This is the language of diplomacy. That's how it rolls. BacktoCricaddict and coffee_rules 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Protocols. Procedures. Rules of engagement. Posturing. Who decides? Based on what? There is just an overall lack of genuine, sincere engagement of leaders focused on the welfare of all people. And, to me, therein lies the pity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The leading question from a western journalist (kanedian assuming) in the second tweet I posted, indicates a strained relationship between Modi and Trudeau. He answered it in a deep state response. There are personal traits and egos even among foreign leaders as they are after all humans . and then there is deep state. What we see outwardly looks like petty clashes. @BacktoCricaddict https://x.com/ani/status/1700832049891008702?s=46 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texan Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 Good strong message from Modi to Trudeau. Trudeau is almost certainly going to be out when elections are held in Canada. He is massively unpopular. Instead of trying to address issues like unaffordable housing, he is still pandering to the shenanigans of Khalistani elements. He needs to learn a lesson from the example of Pakistan. When you keep pet snakes to attack your neighbor, the snakes can end up biting you as well. coffee_rules and ravishingravi 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is healthy for democracy. All other Congress guys (Kharge, Gandhis and their loyal brigade), Kejris, Mamtas, KCRs et all have taken the word "opposition" too literally. Accha kaam karo to bhi opposition, bura kaam karo to aur jyada opposition. They have even gone to thr extent of shaming India internationally just to satisfy their personal political goals. Ye log to desh ki ijjat bhi nikalne se nahi mukarte. Shameful! coffee_rules 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
