The Indian budget every year has always been an eagerly awaited event. For many decades, the best minds in economics, finance, tax, business and industry throng the media house to analyze the provisions shared by the Financial Minister.
Sometimes major events completely disconnected may be data points for the plans of the different powers around the world. The challenge is to discern what purpose they serve? More critically, what are we moving towards?
When the US Ambassador threatened India's "Strategic Autonomy" policy over India's friendship with Russia - much more than meets the eye was at stake. Let us unpack how the Ukraine war has fundamentally changed the US and the world. And why are we here anyway?
We pushed the envelope of our capability to bring a quality and insightful newsletter every day for over a year. Such an effort is intense and not always sustainable.
That is why we took a break.
To re-evaluate and to re-think.
To ensure that we do bring quality content that is expected from Drishtikone, we will bring out a Weekly newsletter. This will be sustainable and provide us the ability to do the research needed.
Our first edition will start on August 15th, 2021 (Sunday). We will send it out at 10 AM Eastern US time and 7.30 PM India Time. If you think some other time would be better, please share in the comments below.
This time our aim will be to deepen the analysis if we can and also share the weekly happening with some comments.
Meanwhile, we have started a publication on Medium.com - a repository of very well-written content. We are using the URL - DRISHTIK.ONE (a version of ONE VISION).
Please do follow that publication as we will publish the best content from our newsletters - past and the new ones there as well. It will also be something that you can share with friends and use to counter the negative narratives going forward.
For example, we have published “Swastika, Hakenkreuz and the Aryan Christ”. Many have written about Swatika vs Hakenkreuz. But that isn’t the entire story. The real crux of the matter is that Hakenkreuz was ONE of the components that Hitler came up with to change the very direction of Christianity. He was doing what Constantine had done via the Nicene Councils. He was creating a neo-Christianity. A Christianity which was devoid of any connection to Judaism or Christ being a Jew. That is the reason why Hitler attracts anti-Semitic haters. This needs to be clearly understood and shared. For, it is never brought out. For obvious reasons.
We have published three articles there as of now. The latest one is “How Jinnah’s Militias Orchestrated India’s Partition in 1947” - where we share another fact that is critical to understand but is missed by everyone. That partition and the violence that accompanied it was orchestrated by Muslim League under Jinnah in a very planned manner. RSS and Muslim League are always equated in that violence. But it is a false equivalence. We share the reasons why.
The first article is a revelation on the shady world of NGOs. Globally and in India - The Shady World of NGOs. Do read it. It is extremely important to understand how Amnesty has been characterized by folks who have worked at the helm of affairs and have the so-called “secular” credentials. Narratives can best be destroyed by using the facts from the opponents’ own stable.
So please go over to our publication and follow and like/share/comment on the articles.
The recent interview with Vikram Sampath basis his two volumes on Veer Savarkar by Vivek Agnihotri is a must-watch. Such work - serious and non-sensational in terms of effects and noise, but sensational in terms of content is exceedingly rare in the Indian media.
Do watch this to get a rare insight into Veer Savarkar and then do buy the books by Sampath, as I know I will now.
If you like this post - please share it with someone who will appreciate the information shared in this edition.

The I.N.D.I.A alliance has clearly expressed its election plank - annihilation of Sanatan Dharma or Hinduism. In order to dismantle the Modi government. It is not an electoral battle anymore but a civilizational battle now.
Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven wrote about disruptive militant protests in 1966. Movements like Occupy, Woke protests were its offsprings. Even in India, anti-Modi government protests bear its imprint. An analysis.
'The Vaccine War' is a beautiful story of very complex times. Vivek Agnihotri has weaved together a masterpiece dealing with a subject very few would have touched. The pandemic and the triumph of India.
Chandrayaan-3 landing on South side of moon was not just the triumph of scientists at ISRO today but a tradition and history of science that looks at exploration as a spiritual path. It is a story of a battle against all odds and challenges!
