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?
Terrorists have to succeed only once to create their narrative. Security Agencies may succeed thousands of times, but their success goes unnoticed.
Unbeknowst to us all, the security agencies are working day and night, against all odds to prevent any more terror attacks. We don’t get to hear of them. But it doesn’t mean that work is not being done. We only hear of the attacks that happened. Not of those that did not.
In a manner reminiscent of the series “24”, the Indian forces foiled another Pulwama style terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir. The attack was planned against a high value political target.
In fact, on February 23rd, the terrorist – whose name was Raqib Ahmed Sheikh – had recorded his video as well detailing the attack. On February 24th, he was gunned down before he could execute the attack!
It was a Jaish-e-Muhammad operation where two Pakistani terrorists – Numan and Waleed – were indoctrinating the Indian guy Raqib to carry out this attack. All three terrorists were killed!
So you see to even believe that Pakistan “comes in peace” or has no intention of hate, terror or violence is not just naive but self delusional! The operation that was started post Pulwama, therefore, should NOT be stopped! Not until the terror sponsors in Pakistani Army are made to pay!
Here is the news clip, which will surely go unnoticed by most because it does not align with their narrative.

This visit of India left me with many questions. Many observations and inputs from different people and sections. Food for thought that I have tried to contemplate on and make sense of. Sharing all that with you.
When you analyze the last 60 years of the economic miracles of Singapore, South Korea and Malaysia versus the continued impoverished Indian economy, you get very interesting lessons. Can Indians have the wherewithal in them to do in one generation so that the coming generations may rise?
