Is Prime Minister Narendra Modi being kept in the dark on the Manipur killings? As it is, his countrymen have no idea of whether he reads newspapers. If he had, he would have squared off with at least one press conference in the nine barren years of mishandling power. The ‘godi media’ that treat Modi like he has miraculous powers, have been sketchy about covering happenings in Manipur while being busy with vacuous Hindu-Muslim debates.

It was clear from the get-go when NCP chief Sharad Pawar decided to resign as the President a month ago. The three-day drama that saw Pawar take back his resignation as a gesture of deference to the party members now seems aimed at a predictable outcome — sidelining his nephew and de facto no 2, Ajit Pawar, to instal a member of his direct bloodline.

The visit will be marked by discussions on sealing a big-armed drone deal, high-level meetings with CEOs of top American companies, breakthroughs in semiconductor supply chains, and the elevation of the Indo-US technology partnership. These developments will showcase the growing importance of the US-India relationship and the potential for further collaboration.

The Narendra Modi government seems to be on cloud nine after more than expected growth in the fourth quarter of 2022-23. There are certain warning bells in the macroeconomic fundamentals, which should not be ignored. Morgan Stanley is in all praise for Modi government for economic achievements during the last ten years. There are certainly some path-breaking achievements like digitization, managing inflation, though lately not comfortable, covid handling and so on, but there are certain weaknesses which needed to be handled so that the economy gets back to high growth trajectory.
