What did India gain from G-20 summit? Was it better that than the last summit?

Publicity and international centre-stage in global affairs. India for the first time gets G-20 presidency and will host the event in India’s J&K and Ladakh UT which may dismay Pakistan and China.

During Nehru era, Soviet Union was true friend – they helped build Indian heavy industry, supplied highly subsidised defence equipment’s, technology transfer, no defence purchase scams, always international support available for Kashmir issue and physical presence available in 1971 Indo-Pak war victory. Modi once said in Russia – ‘one old reliable friend is better than two new friends. India now supporting old friend Russia despite massive western pressure.

During Modi era, France is the true friend – didn’t impose sanction after 1998 nuclear explosion, UN resolutions support, reliable partner, no economic or defence technology sanctions. The only problem is western and French defence technology are far superior (than Russian) and also costly.

France is the new Russia / Soviet Union

India wants to be a leader in G-20 as this group controls 80% of global wealth

Nehru wanted to be a leader of third world newly independent country and formed ‘Non-Aligned movement’ (NAM) with leaders of Egypt and Yugoslavia. Subsequent congress PM like Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi proudly maintained leadership position within NAM. BJP PM Modi seems to have dumped NAM and became a leader of G-20 which is most powerful economic block along with G-7.

Recent G-20 summit 2022 in Bali, Indonesia is a diplomatic success for India. The G-20 leaders endorsed PM Modi’s message to Russian President Putin at the SCO Summit in Uzbekistan in September 2022 that ‘this is not time for war’. In a joint declaration adopted at the end of their two-day summit in Bali, the G-20 leaders observed that the use or threat of use of nuclear weapons was inadmissible. The peaceful resolution of conflicts, efforts to address crises, as well as diplomacy and dialogue, were vital. The ‘Bali Declaration’ said the war in Ukraine has adversely impacted the global economy, caused immense human suffering and exacerbated existing fragilities in the global economy constraining growth, increasing inflation, disrupting supply chains, heightening energy and food insecurity, and elevating financial stability risks.

Moral of the story – ‘Modi hai toh mumkin hai’.

Moral of the story for Indian left librandµs – ‘Modi is fascist. Petrol cost is Rs 95 now. Modi must resign’.

How sarcastic was Sonia Gandhi’s statement made in parliament yesterday when she said “Women’s Reservation was the dream of her husband Rajiv Gandhi” and she appealed everyone in the House to fulfil her husband’s wish?

This is called ‘chalta hai culture’ in Hindi which means ‘work in progress for decades’. This is the ‘sarkari’ way of doing things that India observed since independence. Women’s reservation bill was first mooted by ex-PM Rajiv Gandhi in 1989 but remained in paper for decades until made law in 2023. Sushma Swaraj’s soul will be happy today There are many examples like this. GST was drafted during UPA era by West Bengal Finance Minister Amit Mitra (Ph. D. from Duke University on Economics) but implemented by Arun Jeiley of BJP during Modi 1.0 government. New Parliament building built by Tata Projects for Rs 862 Crore within two years despite Covid-19 pandemic is an example of timely project execution. If congress would have don’t it, it may took two decades and 10 times cost escalation cur to corruption. A 16-17 KM Calcutta (now Kolkata) Metro took two decades (initiated in early 1970s, partly opened in 1984 and complete 1st phase by early 1990s). This is called congress slow speed. 17

What is the problem with Indian media?

This is Indian librandµ media and political contradiction at its best - MP Sanjay Singh of AAP getting arrested by ED for Delhi liquor excise scam in October 2023 Opposition MLA Sukhpal Singh Khaira in Punjab getting arrested for drug case in September 2023 Both politicians are proudly getting arrested in front of media and waiving to the crowd as if they have won some Asian Games or Olympic medals. Few decades ago, Doordarshan media comedian Jaspal Bhatti rightly said ‘politician going to jail only enhances their political carrier’. This is true even today. This is a side effect of Gandhi-Nehru politics in India. When AAP jailed opposition congress leader in jail for a drug case, this is not a case of political vendetta but law taking its own course. Punjab’s CM Bhagwant Mann and super-CM Arvind Kejriwal said drug menace will be strongly handled in the state. However, when its own MP Sanjay Singh is charge sheeted by ED and judiciary refuse bail considering substantial evidence agains

Why were the world leaders visiting India very frequently in March-April 2022?

Almost all P5 leaders are meeting Indian PM Modi he has emerged a global hero in last two years. This is because Indian greatly increased vaccine production and distributed to many countries including free across the world as part of ‘vaccine diplomacy’. Even UK PM Boris Johnson confirmed that he used India made Covid-19 vaccine. The second reason is Modi is the only global leader who spoke to both Russian and Ukrainian Presidents for safe passage of foreigners and other peace initiative during this two month old war. This is time for Modi to claim P5 status in UNSC with veto power which Indian leader Nehru gave it to China. See body language of global leaders when they meet Modi with arms around Modi’s shoulder Meanwhile, Chinese leader is in self-imposed quarantine and not ventured out of his country in last two years. No major leaders met him. China supplied ineffective Covid-19 vaccines in many countries but its major cities like Shanghai and Shenzhen are under prolong lockdown. Th
