Need to borrow their god.

"In a swift reversal of fortunes, countries that had been hardest hit by US President Donald Trump's tariffs have emerged as the biggest winners from the Supreme Court's decision to strike down his emergency levies." ET. On 2 February, "India and the US agreed on an interim trade deal under which US tariffs on Indian goods were reduced to 18% from 25%." On 21 February, Trump announced the rate would be raised to 15% (from 10%), subject to the 150-day statutory limit." ET. Still it is a 3% advantage for India. But, "Nothing changes. They'll (India) be paying tariffs, and we will not be paying tariffs." "I also stopped the war between India and Pakistan. As you know 10 planes were shot down," said Trump. This is a little jibe against India where Prime Minister Narendra Modi has claimed a great victory against Pakistan in Operation Sindoor (pib.gov.in). He then said "I think Prime Minister Modi is a great gentleman, a great man actually." Whether this was intended as a balm, or tongue in cheek, is left to our imagination. However, other pressure points seem to have been activated. "The US Securities and and Exchange Commission has asked a US court for helping in serving summonses upon Indian billionaire Gautam Adani and group executive Sagar Adani over alleged fraud and a $265 million bribery scheme, filings show." Reuters. In addition, "Adani Enterprises said...that a US agency is conducting a civil investigation into the company's transactions that may have involved Iran or parties subject to US sanctions." Reuters. This is following "allegations cited in a Wall Street Journal report published in June last year," which "had claimed that Billionaire Adani was attempting to officials in the administration of US President Donald Trump to drop bribery charges against him." ET. Mr Modi's friendship with Mr Adani is common knowledge, with Congress leader Jairam Ramesh claiming that "the real equation to consider is "Modi+Adani=Modani". TOI. "As early as 2015, a prominent Indian newspaper reported that everywhere Modi went 'Adani was sure to go'. This support has not always helped India. On the contrary, by brazenly promoting the oligarch's ambitions, Modi has sometimes hurt his country's relations with her neighbors as well as other countries." Adani Watch. Meanwhile, Nikhil Gupta has confessed to a conspiracy to assassinate Khalistani Gurpatwant Singh Pannun and named former India's intelligence officer Vikash Yadav as his handler in a New York court. There is a US arrest warrant for Yadav. The Wire. The Indian government cannot hand over an intelligence operative to another nation, so what happens now? More sanctions? As long as voters don't know, who cares. So, the government's "User Manual for Sahyog (meaning 'collaboration' Portal (IT intermediaries)" "makes it clear that orders are unilateral, and a direct correspondence between government agencies and intermediate platforms like social media and telecom providers. The content excludes journalists or content creators from the definition of 'stakeholders'." The Wire. Fascism works at home. Not in other countries. However, as long as there is an army of deluded Bhakts, with heads full of dung, the vote bank is rock solid. Perhaps, we should borrow America's God in whom they trust.
