Better Call Saul? Tell him I don’t bargain with drug mafias.
Nearly ₹80 crore worth of drugs seized in Assam last month.
Objection overruled. My message is clear: no one gets a free pass.

This isn't a crowd, it's a warning. 30,000 yesterday , far more in the days ahead. India's youth won't stay silent while Cong and Dimagi Naxals push their regime change agenda.

Starlink works in line of sight of a satellite. If that satellite is visible over Bangladesh (where starlink is used) it’s visible over northeast india. “Turned off” only happened in May 26 over Burma. This fellow is twisting the facts.

Unlucky Hamam. He would be wishing to be caught in India.
Fair trial, media defence, whole range of system to give biryani, if possible send him home, write essay, no one died so why punish, and Jantar Mantar protest to put Capt Smit on trial.
He would have lived long life.

The PM says to Captain Smit, "The whole country is praying for you. Maha Mrityunjay Jaap is being done for you and your health. Your courage, presence of mind and composure saved many lives.

#WATCH | Nagoya, Japan | "The handle that opens the cockpit door is actually on the co-pilot's side. It would have needed real courage after being stabbed to reach out to the co-pilot's side and open the door," says Ajay Singh, CMD, SpiceJet, as he explains what might have been going through Flydubai pilot Capt Smit Machchhar's mind at the time.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu:
My salute to the Indian pilot Captain Smit Machchhar for his extraordinary bravery.
Despite being stabbed and seriously injured, he fought back, resisted, opened the cockpit door, and enabled passengers and crew to overpower the attacker — preventing a catastrophic mid-air disaster.
He saved the lives of 174 people, including Israeli citizens and other nationals.
I wish Captain Machchhar a speedy and full recovery.
He is a true hero.

Never trust bankers when they tell you what to do with your gold.
Gold is the banking system's natural enemy. Every rupee or dollar invested in physical gold is money that stays outside the banking system, beyond its ability to lend, leverage or create credit against it.
Gold is a vote of no confidence in the fiat monetary system.
You don't buy physical gold merely to earn a return. You buy it to protect your wealth against currency depreciation, systemic risk and the possibility that financial institutions may fail to honour their promises.
When a banker tells you that your gold is unproductive and should be brought into the financial system, remember why you bought it in the first place.
The purpose of physical gold is to hold wealth outside a system that depends on someone else's promise to pay.
Don't put your gold back where the risk lies.

Saudi Aramco has loaded 14 million barrels of crude onto seven tankers Sunday as exports through the Strait of Hormuz ramp up. Satellite images by Reuters show 7 tankers in vicinity of Ras Tanura port.
When the Financial Times reported yesterday evening on Gulf states desperately pushing for a regional reset and security dialogue with Iran, it was breaking news to the mainstream media but for readers and listeners of Niti Shastra, it was yesterday’s analysis confirmed.
Hours before the headlines caught up, we highlighted in the morning on our platform and podcast in afternoon how Qatar and the UAE were already paying to secure passage through the Strait of Hormuz, recognizing regional vulnerability and the limits of Western deterrence.
As Saudi Aramco now joins the flow by reversing oil volumes back toward Hormuz loading 14 million barrels across seven VLCCs and regional heavyweights admit geography leaves no choice but engagement.
Iran is Co-ordinating with Oman on Hormuz passage, countries are paying a cost for secured passage. Qatar & Emirates have secured such understanding with Tehran and now Saudis are being forced to join the que as Houthis disrupt Saudi trade via Yanbu.
The geopolitical reality is clear transactional pragmatism has overtaken ideological posturing in the Gulf Region exactly as Niti Shastra broke it down first. Countries are bypassing America to establish a new regional security architecture where Iran plays a fundamental role.

ChatGPT gave me the same figure of 1.75 lakh crores if I assumed 4-5% depreciation per year at ₹110 at the end of 3 years. This is the damage.
FCNR(B) scheme will cost India at least 1.75 lakh crore in additional interest payments and 3.18 lakh crore in foreign exchange depreciation. A 1.76 lakh crore notional loss in bad old days had created a storm. What about this 3 times larger loss? thequint.com/opinion/subhash…

Everyone in India is watching the rupee. Almost nobody is watching the reason. This week, US government bond yields hit a 20-year high. If you hold Indian stocks, bonds, or a home loan, that number matters more to you than anything RBI said this month. Here's the chain.

This is NOT the power of the Indian diaspora but the Power of arbitrage. NRIs are making unleveraged spreads of ~15 bps which banks are helping them leverage 9-12X.
India is paying these NRIs (and their bankers) handsomely for their "deshbhakti" :)
