Donald Trump's ‘My way or highway’ approach leads to discord and heightens prospects of conflicts. It isn’t diplomacy, it's dadagiri! And India, led by PM Modi, must stand up to it.

The editor-writer-politician was once an awe-inspiring figure. Today, hit by a series of serious harassment charges, he evokes the opposite response.

The speech was a win-win for all: RSS, BJP and Congress can each cherry-pick what they like from it.

The US president and the North Korean ruler have kept the world on the edge with their unpredictability and volatility.

Does an issue which involves the export of around 3,700 Harvey-Davidson motorbikes from the US to India deserve to be raised by the US president publicly in such a farcical manner?

From 40,000 Americans marching against white supremacists to influential CEOs quitting the President's council, there is much to be understood.

A Congress-mukt Bharat is no longer a distant reality today.

Prime Minister has struck an instant rapport with world leaders like US President Donald Trump and Israeli counterpart Netanyahu.

While Trump might carry Washington and his ultra-right constituencies with him, the country doesn’t seem to support his decision, not even his daughter Ivanka.

In the globalised world of the 21st century, Modi has been trying to make India great using today’s tools and addressing aspirations of 1.3 billion people.

Without any impartial study, malicious canards are spread that beneficiaries of caste quotas are incompetent and inefficient.

Unbridled vigilantism poses the gravest threat to PM’s vision. He must rein them lest it is too late.

Reports suggest that Jared Kushner will be helped by iconic CEOs like Bill Gates, Elon Musk to help find solutions.

PM's supporters must not allow recent successes to go into their heads.

In the last two weeks, the world has witnessed Trump’s capacity to threaten, antagonise, divide and take extreme positions.

And he has pledged to work for improving Indo-US relations further.

Does the life of a common man mean nothing?

The overzealous implementation of a sensible initiative has created havoc.

There is bipartisan support for closer relations with India in the US Congress and the Senate.

Only a long-term, multipronged policy utilising all bilateral, regional and international leverages might work.

Breakthrough with Russia notwithstanding, the PM will have to come up with an out-of-the-box approach for China.

PM also benefited personally, as he emerged as a mature leader.

If Saudi Arabia and Iran come on the same page and the US and Russia get over their mistrust, they can degrade the terror group irreparably.

The outgoing president has opened doors of friendship with countries which long perceived the US as hostile.

A little introspection and soul-searching will do us no harm.
