Domestic consumption is hogwash, India exports most of what they buy from Russia. This is the difference between India and China.

India is the key Russian enabler for the war in Ukraine. There will be more punitive actions for India and Modi's billionaire overlords. Trump is working on EU to slap on sanctions on India as well, the chorus is getting louder and louder.

Let's not get silly. The EU is the main buyer of petroleum products from India. They'd basically have to sanction themselves.

The majority of Crude and other petroleum products India imports are domestically consumed. Whatever's exported is value added through refining.

I'm all for India not getting into a silly fight about this and cutting crude imports from Russia for a while to maintain optics but it's funny being sanctioned by the States who are the biggest arms suppliers to a significantly more genocidal State - Israel while being compared unfavourably to China who are keeping the Russian war machine going.

Yup international relations have been a joke for a while so best to just play along. Especially when you guys in the States (you're from the States right?) have placed the inmate in charge of the asylum.

India's done okay in the whole Russia-Ukraine thing so far. Could've been better but certainly could've been worse. I just hope we don't screw it up to make some stupid point now. We're not there yet.
 
A phenomenal 2025 for India 🇮🇳

• Crushed Pakistan in war, leaving them pleading for ceasefire
• Stood up to Trump & America on the global stage
• Tilted China into a pro-India stance
• Brought home an ICC trophy 🏆
• Grew at 7.8%, retaining the crown as the world’s fastest-growing major economy

PM Modi isn’t just winning, he’s redefining leadership.

Priest King 🐐

The GDP growth numbers definitely suprised on the upside.

I'm personally uncomfortable with a few of the numbers - manufacturing growth near 8% looks off when you look at some of the underlying numbers like electricity demand, car sales etc.

Also the very low inflation deflator - ~2% has played a role despite softening nominal growth rate.

Overall though, it's a good story. Broad based growth in many sectors, strengthening fiscal position, solid reserves etc. We're well positioned to weather the tariff storm for a while if that's what we choose to do. It's a different story that we shouldn't just be weathering the storm. We should be taking advantage of it.
 
Japan announced massive 69 billion dollars investment in India

French president Macron announces increase in trade with India

China says it firmly stands with India, opposing president Trump's tariffs

India to shift seafood exports to Japan, China, UK and EU after US imposes 50% tariff. High demand for Indian products

Let's get some economic facts

USA - GDP per capita is no 7
Your beloved China is no 69.
You tell me which of those other 67 countries are economically stronger or more important than China...
So yes we are a poor country with lots of issues but size matters and that size speaks for itself.. you can be salty and just celebrate our failure but it says more when you have nothing to celebrate for yourself.
Like your brethren the rat Mushfiqur celebrating India's defeat to windies you cheering for Australia or South Africa . Sometimes try to ask what did or when will Paksitan achieve something we can be proud of.

Size does matter, but it’s also the motion of the ocean. Right now, that motion is dragging India back to the same powers that already proved to them why size really does matter.

So now that we have decided the size and India matters.. there is no harm is admitting both USA and China are massively more powerful economically and us is far more powerful militarily than India. With that said India isn't Paksitan.. it doesnt bend to any country.. but it partners based on ground realities...

It's China's president who first said they are against 50% imposed on India by US.. if someone speaking in favor and giving support... then India have every right to improve relations with china.

If tomorrow Pakistan ready to handover terrorists to India and shutting down terrorist organizations, then India will good with them as well
 
If the PM Modi Trump issue is real and not an act. Well the reason is quite simple, PM Modi is not playing ball with President Trump by not allowing enough American business's to enter the Indian market and this whole buying oil from Russia is used as a political gimmick to put pressure on India and nothing more.

China buys from Russia,
US buys from Russia,
Europe buys from Russia

So in otherwords everyone buys from Russia 🤡

No issues with the above 3 dealing with Russia only issue is India 🫠

I understand the stance PM Modi may have taken here, he is trying to protect the interests of the local Indian businesses...

Disappointing thing here is now India will have to side with China, which is dangerous in the long run for both India and US...
 
Trump should put additional tariff on India for call center scamming.

Indian call center scammers loot billions of Dollars from USA on a regular basis. Indian government barely does anything about it.

Good article on India's lack of hard power and diaspora dynamics.

Why the thriving Indian diaspora in the US is not an asset anymore

The excessive publicity about Indian success stories and their high income and wealth levels has begun to breed envy and resentment in non-elite Americans.

Pretty decent article.

Gets quite a few points right. India is not of the stature of China and Russia (actually I'm not even sure Russia is...without Chinese support) in geopolitics that it can openly clash with the States in this way. It's more of the level of Japan or the UK which have pretty much accepted their subservience. That it refuses to accept this irritates Trump and his gang.

However, he doesn't acknowledge India's messy democracy which creates the compulsions for these actions. We don't have the history of bending to US whims and fancies that the likes of UK, Japan and Germany have which makes it especially hard for us.

His points about Indian American success are neither here or there. Probably some personal bugbear and irrelevant to this current situation.
 
Only three countries in the world actually hold strategic advantage, and India isn’t one of them. It never will be, unless it clings to one of those powers like a shadow. That’s exactly why India has practically marked itself as ‘unemployed’ on the global LinkedIn, fishing for a new sponsor. But Indians, lost in their own echo chamber, keep convincing themselves they’re the center of the universe, when in reality, they’re orbiting around those who actually set the course.

"Never will be" is petty bitterness talking. India was more or less irrelevant in global geopolitics 20 years ago. Today you have Zelensky tweeting about his call to Modi just because Modi's chosen to go personally to the SCO.

India just needs to bide it's time.

I remember travelling with some American colleagues to China in 2008 to scout for a factory location and how they were all making inside jokes about Chinese pretensions and airs. About how all the Chinese were good for was cheap labour. You Americans are not laughing now, I bet.

It seems “never” under the current circumstances.

Comparing India to China is rather amateurish. China does not need to worry about constantly selling a domestic political narrative, India’s ruling regime, however, does.

The contrast in leadership styles illustrates this clearly. Prime Minister Singh never needed to demonstrate that he was personally liked by global leaders, he simply focused on his work. Prime Minister Modi, by contrast, often leans on performative displays of camaraderie, projecting closeness with world leaders to satisfy domestic audiences. It may seem minor, but it points to a deeper issue.

India’s current political culture is limiting the country’s ability to reach its full potential. And for the foreseeable future, it appears India will continue to hold itself back.

Classic regime change set up tactics.

Laying a platform for opposition to attack - aam admi is suffering while brahmins and Modis rich pals make billions.

Good move from Peter Bhai. No wonder Modi is on begging mission to make amends with XI.

I predicted this.... They are going to squeeze Modi's billionaire overlords. They will work for the US to bring about a regime change to save their skin. Modi's billionaire overlords are the Pakistan army equivalent of how much tight grip they have over the country in all spheres of life.

Adani is a shady character anyway and they have receipts on him to squeeze his balls for securities fraud in US. I won't be surprised if they issue an arrest warrant at a time of their choosing. Then you will see swathes of countries bringing up bribery charges to cancel deals with his companies. If I was an Indian investor, I be hedging my investments in his companies.

As neutrals in this situation we must stand with the poor Indian people who have been manipulated by Modi and his cronies. They are the one bearing the brunt for these policies, while Modi and his friends make billions.

I hope the Americans are able to hold these people accountable for the misery they have inflicted at home, and on the poor ukranians.

I like the delusion but think you are confusing India with Pakistan/Bangladesh. Amreeka is not able to stop India from buying Russian oil and they force a regime change in India?

@DeadlyVenom bhai was joking and you took it seriously.

Woh Modi hai...Imran Khan nehi :yk
