The world has changed a lot since the Henry Kissinger era. Liberalisation of India's economy was fueled by market economics of the West (mainly USA), not Soviet/Russian principles or collaborations. Trade with the US is 160 bn annually, with Russia is <60 bn. When there was grain shortage post-independence, it wasn't the Soviets who helped India become a surplus grain producer (I don't recall Dr. MSS going to Vladivostok for collaboration). I get the dependence on them for energy, fertilizer etc., but it is time to keep smiling at them while simultaneously weaning away from them and becoming energy independent (nuclear) and fertilizer-sufficient (invest in ag tech including biotech and precision ag to minimize fertilizer use). BTW, do they depend on India for anything? Without any leverage, it becomes a 1-way relationship and that is dangerous, esp with someone like Putappa at the helm.

Agree, he has to stop PR otherwise and focus on performance. No need for PR in the third term. But IT cell is still going full steam with his reels. Opposition is also focusing only on Modi (Luke the gaffes) and not on real issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haridwar had major protests by samuday vishesh against UCC. A lot of UP and Bihar Muslims are moving there to do infrastructure work. Number of mosques in Haridwar is exponentially growing. It will be the next WB if not checked. Gollum 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
