While my pseudo sickular state of Kerala just sits there and scratches its rear end looking at the sky being a total useless. 🤡

A huge chunk of Kerala economy as a state comes from the money from NRI remittances..

Thank God for the NRIs that help keep this useless trash pseudo secular state afloat.....

In a moment that feels plucked from history and poetry, INSV Kaundinya has tied modern India’s maritime spirit to the shores of Muscat after an 18-day odyssey across the Arabian Sea. 🌅🚢
This isn’t just a boat arrival… it’s a living narrative — a thread woven from ancient mariners to today’s adventurers — that binds India and Oman in celebration and shared heritage.


Launched from Goa after months of painstaking handiwork by Kerala’s master boatbuilders, this stitched-wooden sailing vessel resurrected techniques and traditions that whisper of India’s seafaring past — anchored in the brushstrokes of Ajanta Cave art and the legend of Kaundinya, the first-century navigator who once crossed oceans to marry across distant lands.


When the 16-member crew sighted Muscat’s coastline, the message they shared wasn’t merely geographic — it was symbolic: “Good morning India; Good morning Oman.” 🌍❤️ The greeting carried centuries of exchange — from spice trade winds to today’s deepening cultural and economic ties.


Muscat, a city that has known India’s presence for millennia — from ancient dhow trade to bustling Indian communities today — received Kaundinya not just as a ship, but as a living bridge between epochs and souls. It stands as a poetic reflection of the enduring relationship between two peoples who have long shared sea, sky, commerce, culture, and kinship.


This voyage wasn’t just about reaching land after days at sea. It was a message in a bottle cast forward — a testament to human courage, shared heritage, and friendship rekindled with every wave. 🌊✨


From India to Muscat, with love — this historic splash in the sands of time reminds us that the seas don’t divide us. They connect us. 🌏💫
 
Global entertainment giant The Walt Disney Company has signed a lease for 174,000 sq ft of premium office space at RMZ Ecoworld 20 Campus, located along the Outer Ring Road (ORR) in Bellandur, Bengaluru. This deal reflects the growing demand for high-quality office spaces in Bengaluru’s ORR corridor, one of the city’s most sought-after commercial hubs.

India and EU finalize ‘mother of all deals’ with landmark trade pact​

New DelhiReuters —
India and the European Union have finalized a long pending landmark trade deal, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Tuesday, as the two sides seek to hedge against fickle ties with the US.

After nearly two decades of on-off negotiations, the deal will pave the way for India to open up its vast and guarded market to free trade with the 27-nation EU, its biggest trading partner.

“Yesterday, a big agreement was signed between the European Union and India,” Modi said.

“People around the world are calling this the mother of all deals. This agreement will bring major opportunities for the 1.4 billion people of India and the millions of people in Europe,” he said.

Modi and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen are expected to make a joint announcement at an India–EU summit in New Delhi, along with the details of the deal, later on Tuesday.

Trade between India and the EU stood at $136.5 billion in the fiscal year through March 2025.

The formal signing of the India-EU deal would take place after legal vetting expected to last five to six months, an Indian government official aware of the matter has said.

“We expect the deal to be implemented within a year,” the official added.

Flurry of trade deals​

The agreement comes days after the EU signed a pivotal pact with the South American bloc Mercosur, following deals last year with Indonesia, Mexico and Switzerland.


During the same period, New Delhi finalized pacts with Britain, New Zealand and Oman.

The spate of deals underscores global efforts to hedge against trade with the United States as President Donald Trump’s bid to take over Greenland and tariff threats on European nations test longstanding alliances among Western nations.

An India-US trade deal collapsed last year after a breakdown in communications between their two governments.

Talks between India and the EU were relaunched in 2022 after a nine-year lull, and gathered momentum after Trump put tariffs on several trading partners, including a 50% tariff on goods from India.

For India, the tariff cuts with the EU will lead to more exports in labor intensive sectors that will help partly offset the impact of US tariffs, said Ajay Srivastava, a former Indian trade official.

He said the deal will also give an immediate price advantage for EU products in India because of some relief from its high tariffs, for instance up to 110% on cars.

There's a lot of positive news coming out of unexpected areas in India. For a long time, the major concern was that India is producing a lot of a scientists but exporting them and almost no research is coming out of India.

The last few years have seen a dramatic shift though. The graph below illustrates well cited papers coming out of India as a proportion of global scientific paper output.

I've no doubt some of it if the weird stuff University professors do - self-servingly citing each other to create a circle of well-cited papers to put on their resumes but that stuff does on everywhere and Chinese scientists were criticised for it as well.

This kind of burst is hopefully a precursor (as it was in the case of China) for genuine scientific research to start coming through.
 
2 months back, Germany have initiated an (8B usd ) art of state submarine along TOT to India.They want to break the India Russia nexus but India should be pragmatic enough to fetch the good deals wherever its possible.

Growing pains.

The system has to grow first.

Scientific research will come through.

A country of 1.6-1.7 billion with an HDI of 0.8+ WILL be a scientific powerhouse.

I see us being like current day China by early 2040s. Of course China will then be a bonafide first world country. We will get there somewhere in the late 2050s-early 2060s.
 
Adani enterprise signs strategic partnership with Embraer group.

https://twitter.com/x/status/2016060237791592847

It helps India develop domestic aircraft manufacturing capability, not just assembly, aligning tightly with Make in India and Aatmanirbhar Bharat. Embraer’s regional jet expertise supports better connectivity to Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities, strengthening schemes like UDAN. The partnership also brings technology transfer, skilled jobs, MRO and supply-chain development, gradually reducing India’s heavy dependence on imported aircraft. Strategically, it deepens India–Brazil industrial ties and opens future export potential for aircraft and components.

As the European president says, Europe prefers the luxurious ones equipped with latest technology while india prefers the small ones.it should be a good add ons for both sets.Europe auto industry genuinely hopes that india becomes rich .Now its on the government to improve the infrastructure.

It’s the other way bro. Indians want everything. Features, performance, safety, and efficiency at a fair price. Buying a car is still a big deal for most people. The Indian car market is very tough for foreign manufacturers to survive in because of this.

We’re very value focused. See how Renault launched a special version of the Duster exclusively for India the other day.

Outside of exotic brands, most European cars are boring from a features POV, but they’re mostly solidly built. It’s a more mature market, and a good car is not a dream for most people.

Coming to this aspect of the trade deal, enthusiasts are going to benefit from access to reasonably priced CBUs like the Golf GTI, Octavia RS etc that sell in low volumes. This will further raise our overall expectations in terms of build quality. We need that exposure. And rich people will get access to higher trims of exotic brands at a lower price, which is not really a direct benefit but a sign of a maturing market economy.

We were lagging in the ICE and EV race, but our brands, particularly Mahindra now produce engines that can rival foreign brands in output and refinement, and our EVs can rival even Chinese ones. BYD and Tesla have been struggling in India largely due to this reason.

you are almost on mark. Most recent GDP growth analysis shows India is around 13 years behind China. Our current GDP and pace of innovation is similar to what China was doing around 2012/13

Your country is poorer than sub saharan african countries and have a lower growth rate than first world countries like Israel, Saudi, UAE etc.

It would require Pakistan 20-25 years to get to CURRENT India levels of HDI. That's the gap.

Lol what 20-25 years ?

Try like 50 or more and that to only if the external share holders of Pakistan have no political involvement along with them disowning the camel jockiness and madrassas for good.

As Pakistan is owned by too many external share holders like US, China, Arabs etc, if one of the owners are unhappy they will halt any progress Pakistan makes, it will be similar to taking 1 step forward at the same time taking 2 steps backwards.

Pakistan like I have always said for years is a lost cause they will never find redemption, the only question is how much more worse can they go..

I'm just using available data.

Pakistan's HDI grew for 0.396 to 0.544 from 1990 to 2023 ie 33 years.

Specific country data | Human Development Reports

hdr.undp.org hdr.undp.org

Since there has been no structural changes in the way Pakistan is run, I assume rate of growth will be somewhat similar and they will reach India's 2023 figures of 0.685 somewhere in the late 2040s.

Things can change rapidly for them however, dear.

They have huge interest in JF-17s, reportedly close to 100 jets annually is the demand which would put them in the elite list of defence exporters immediately.

Apart from the above, they're about to tap into to their vast oil, natural gas, minerals and rare earth reserves. Once the mining starts, that could add hundreds of billions to their economy.

Going by the above, a yoy growth of 23% for next 5 years and 14% for the next decade looks possible

Couldn't do jack all on 10th once SEAD-DEAD was done.

Operation Banyan Chaddi involved flying their airplanes around while their bases were getting bombed.
