The Europeans didn’t protest when Venezuela was brazenly taken over. They said little when Iran was bombed. The excuse always was, “oh, we believed their people wanted it”. First principles be damned. Sovereignty be damned.
Now they’re starting to echo the random “vote chor” chant. See where this is going? Be aware India!
"VOTE Chor.. GADDI Chhod.
VOTE Thief.. LEAVE your seat "
– Party of European Socialists Secretary General, Giacomo Filibeck at Bharat Summit.
Just a week back Rahul and Congress were accusing Modi of winning elections with foreign influence. Now they have invited anti-India foreigners to speak against GoI and question Indian Democracy 🙄

We all remember reading about the Green and White Revolutions in school, but seeing India quietly pull off a whole new wave of farming revolutions right now is incredible.
Speaking at Kisan Tak, PM @narendramodi shared some numbers that really put our farmers' hard work into perspective.
Over the last ten years, milk production has jumped by nearly 70%, egg production is up 90%, and fish production has more than doubled. Even the Sweet Revolution is booming, with honey output climbing from 80,000 tonnes to 1.5 lakh tonnes, while horticulture has crossed 350 million tonnes. Behind every single one of those stats is the sheer grit and capability of India’s farmers.

Well said, Noah. Some keep betting against India. India keeps proving them wrong. Patiently, democratically, and at a scale no other nation has attempted.
Almost everyone I know seems skeptical of Indian development. And yet India keeps defying the skeptics.

Big Breaking : Both official readouts are now out from the Modi–Zelenskyy call, and the division of diplomatic labor is clear:
While PM Modi reaffirmed India’s commitment to back all peace efforts ahead of the Abu Dhabi summit, Zelenskyy revealed the exact lever Kyiv wants India to pull: mediating safe food corridors through the Black Sea.
By tying peace talks directly to grain flows and Global South food security, Kyiv gives New Delhi a non-partisan mandate to negotiate directly with Moscow on naval de-escalation.
India’s backchannel diplomacy moves from broad talking points to real maritime logistics. 🇮🇳🇺🇦🕊️

Kenya cancelled Adani $2 billion deal to modernize JKIA airport after public protests over sovereignty
Then it gave same job to China Communications Construction Company for $2.9 billion, nearly 50% more. Same Chinese group whose subsidiary already built overcharged SGR railway. Protests removed competitive bidding from process, which made overcharging easier
Kenya now pays more for same airport work while calling it sovereign choice. Nobody raised questions about price that tells you what drove those protests. Same pattern shows up in BRI deals across Africa
World Bank looked at 3 railways China built in Africa Kenya paid most but got worst deal, not even electric service. 30% of that $900 million extra cost comes from poor governance.
Chinese contractor built Kenya railway and also did its own cost estimates
Between 2015 and 2019, Africa got $30 billion in net Chinese loans. Between 2020 and 2024, Africa sent $22 billion back that is $52 billion reversal in just 5 years. In 2025, 75 poorest countries owed China $22 billion in repayments, highest ever.
China is now more debt collector than lender for developing countries. Kenya SGR railway earns about Sh21 billion per year but loan repayments cost Sh153 billion. Revenue covers just 14% of what Kenya owes on that railway every year
Best of luck for KENYA

A torture chamber of Zelensky was uncovered near Kiev, where over 40 mobilised men were held captive by Ukraine's National Guard. The youngest victim was reportedly just 14 years old. There is now great outrage and riots in Ukraine against the henchmen of Zelensky and NATO.

No useless bloody revolution. No violence on people due to rhetoric and ideology. No dictator seizing power by force.
No Leaps Forward, no Cultural Revolution.
Just regular voted governments working and capitalism.
That's what works, guys.
Well done India 👏🏾
India saw about 496 million people lifted out of poverty between 2011 and 2023 in one of the world’s fastest declines in this metric, the World Bank said, although the gains remain uneven. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

I went to France 24 home page expecting to read up on the riots last night and see the police and Macron's response. Instead, I kid you not, the lead story (yes lead) is:-
"Indian opposition parties stage mega rally seeking election chief’s resignation."
Why on earth would French people be interested in this?
The next story is "How far will 'Cockroach' movement go? India's youth-led protests defy Modi government" and "India bans march on parliament by ‘Cockroach’ activists, risking a standoff".
Can't see anything on the riots in France on its home page. Absolutely bizarre.
