As India hires US lobbying giant Mercury to manage ties with Donald J. Trump, Pakistan is outspending & outmaneuvering by increasing its lobbying budget in DC. Asim Munir won a rare WH meeting, a better tariff deal than India, & new US interest via critical minerals + oil. Delhi risks losing ground in DC.

Let’s be honest: American backlash against Indian H-1B holders didn’t start with racism- it started with years of H-1B abuse in IT outsourcing: lottery flooding, wage suppression, and job displacement. Pres. Donald J. Trump is targeting the abuse, NOT the Indian-American community. Fixing the system protects legitimate H-1Bs- doctors, innovators & those bringing genuine skilled talent to the US.

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman wants Indian banks to strengthen outreach to NRIs and attract more foreign currency deposits. 🇮🇳 Higher interest rates can be tempting, but exchange rates, taxes, and your long-term financial goals matter just as much. Here’s what every NRI should know.

Kanye isn’t selling Hindu 'Swastika' shirts—he's selling Nazi 'Hakenkreuz' shirts. Hitler himself referred to his symbol as a 'hooked cross' in German. So where did 'swastika' come from? The deliberate misconception is a dangerous attempt at creating and carrying a false, Hinduphobic agenda. The swastika is a highly auspicious symbol that has been used for thousands of years- way before WW2. Hindu American Foundation

Indian professionals in America: STOP over-apologizing in the workplace. The ‘reflex sorry’ is costing you authority. You’re not sorry for asking a question. You’re not sorry for having an opinion. Clarity builds credibility. Drop the apology. Keep the humility.

President Donald J. Trump's 25% tariffs on India (starting Aug 1) aren't random or mercurial; they're strategy. He uses game theory: loss aversion, public signaling & sequential moves to gain leverage in global trade talks. This isn’t traditional diplomacy. It’s calculated negotiation. Here's his strategy broken down 👇

Film Ajmer 92 faces backlash from certain Islamic organizations, including Jamiat Ulama-e-Hind, which has called for its ban because it exposes the dark deeds of the Chishtis of Ajmer Dargah. You can’t commit the crime & then try to ban something exposing the truth.

NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Kwame Mamdani’s temple visits drew backlash after he was seen wearing shoes inside, viewed by Hindus as disrespectful. His campaign also has backing from CAIR, Linda Sarsour, and Soros-linked Open Society groups. Whether oversight or optics, the moment raised questions about sincerity in outreach at a time when Mandani’s campaign faces scrutiny for its rhetoric and affiliations. Watch my take ⬇️

Your comments trend as usual, Mrs. Bachchan, for all the wrong reasons. You have ZERO relationship with today’s ' drain pipe paparazzi' because you’re disconnected from the world they work in. This generation builds careers with hustle, not entitlement. Mocking us media people doesn’t make you iconic or funny. It just exposes how outdated & frustrated you are.

Sorry but Zohran Kwame Mamdani's. extreme, unrealistic platform has even alarmed members of his own party. His anti-India rhetoric only adds to the concern in a city that houses 710K+ ppl of Indian origin. Moderate Democrats understand that this isn’t leadership; it’s radicalism. NYC needs experienced, practical leadership, NOT cringe TikTok politics that invite dysfunction. Debate with Shiv Aroor on NDTV

With the fall of the Sheikh Hasina government, there has been alarming violence against Hindus in Bangladesh. Despite evidence and videos going viral of the reality on the ground, mainstream media whitewashes & even justifies these atrocities. Sree Iyer

Immigrant parents often prepare their children for the America they arrived…not the America their children will work in. Keep the immigrant values. But today’s children also need confidence, leadership, communication. Discussing this & more during my workshop this Sunday, June 7, 12pm CST.

Indians in America are not a “model minority.” They are a power constituency, among the highest earners and taxpayers in business, tech, healthcare, policy and innovation. A strong Indian American community is critical for shaping US policy, countering racism and strengthening US-India relations. 🇮🇳🇺🇸

.Zohran Kwame Mamdani’sZohran political rise has been rooted in his anti-Israel activism; a defining identity he openly credits. In a city with nearly 1M Jewish New Yorkers and a fast-growing Indian-American community (1 in every 34) it’s fair to ask: Why embrace a candidate whose rhetoric and positions alienate and openly hate two of NYC’s largest and most vital communities? Leadership in NYC must unite, not divide. My take:

When VP JD Vance praises his Hindu wife for shaping his own faith & then hopes she’ll convert...it not only fuels Hinduphobia, but also underscores America’s conditional acceptance. Indian-Americans aren’t a campaign prop; they’re part of America’s modern success story 🇮🇳🇺🇸

Pakistan isn’t being “reformed” by IMF’s continuous money flow, it’s being kept on life support. America knows the rot there is deep: corruption, elite capture, broken institutions, terror networks. But a failed Pakistan is too dangerous, so a dysfunctional one is tolerated with a blind eye. I explain ⬇️
