George, not Alex.
"Huma Abedin, a longtime aide to Hillary Clinton, and Alexander 'Alex' Soros, the son of billionaire philanthropist George Soros, got hitched over the weekend in a high-profile wedding that brought together some of the biggest names in politics, media and society." Alex "serves as the chairman of the Open Society Foundations, continuing his father's legacy of supporting democracy and human rights initiatives worldwide." TOI. Congratulations and good luck to both. In January 2025, "George Soros, along with 18 others, received the highest civilian award in the United States - the Medal of Freedom - from the outgoing President Joe Biden." HT. George Soros is hated by Bhakts, (disciples) of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who have created an alternate reality (DH), in which Mr Modi would have created 'Amrit' (nectar for external life) 'Kaal' (era), had it not been for opposition parties, foreign countries and George Soros. A Hindu version of the Mahdi (wikipedia), as it were, fighting single-handedly against all the internal and external naysayers. In 2023, Sheyril Agarwal and Joyojeet Pal found that George Soros "was already a boogyman for the Indian right," and "While a small number of (social media) accounts belonging explicitly to politicians, including those of the BJP main handle as well as that of the BJP IT cell convenor Amit Malviya were important in putting out the key content, the main amplifiers of content were influencers." "Mr Soros is an old, rich, opinionated person sitting in New York who still believes that his views should determine how the entire world works," said External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar. "I'd put it away if I could stop at old, wealthy and opinionated. However, he is old, wealthy, opinionated and dangerous." TOI. Recently, "India's precision strikes using an array of weapons systems and missiles on eleven key installations ranging from air defence systems to radar sites and command centers of Pakistani military forced Islamabad to urge New Delhi to end the hostilities." ET. "After the successful conduct of G20 as its president...India has emerged as the leader of the developing economies and the Global South." And so, "After keeping India out of the G7 summit, Canada has relented or rather made to toe the line of other members, to extend an invitation," wrote Seshadri Chari. India made nuclear power Pakistan beg for peace, is a leader of the Global South and dominates the G7, and yet we consider a 94-year-old man George Soros (wikipedia) as dangerous. Does he worry us, maybe even scare us? Who supported India against Pakistan? In fact, "Instead of backing for the military strikes, New Delhi was counselled by one and all - including Russia and Ukraine - to talk to Pakistan." "In India, domestic audiences, fed for a decade on how Modi, ably guided by his external affairs vizier, had cut enemies down to size with an 'aggressive' foreign policy, and won the world over with his statesmanship, are aghast at how it all turned out," wrote Nirupama Subramanian. "For a decade or so now, an in-house conspiracy to embarrass the prime minister has been afoot," with his picture on Covid certificates, school satchels and now even on train tickets, wrote Badri Raina. Photos everywhere inside India. No respect abroad. Just a cutout.
