India launches global charm offensive after conflict with Pakistan
NEW DELHI — India is deploying dozens of lawmakers and former ambassadors to more than 20 global capitals in a hastily organized diplomatic blitz aimed at reclaiming the narrative after its recent clash with Pakistan — and at building international support for a more muscular military approach to its archrival.
India framed its strikes inside Pakistan, the deepest in more than half a century, as retaliation for a deadly militant attack on tourists in Indian-administered Kashmir. Now, it is working to convince its allies that the operation represents a new front in the global fight against terrorism.

India Races Clock as U.S. Tariffs Loom -- Deal Incoming?
In a pivotal development for global markets, India and the United States are accelerating trade negotiations in a bid to secure a partial agreement ahead of looming U.S. tariffs set to take effect next month. Trade officials from both countries met for a week in New Delhi, discussing key issues such as digital trade, customs procedures, and market access. The urgency stems from the Trump-era "reciprocal tariffs," which could impose levies of up to 26% on Indian exports if no agreement is reached by July. Talks are reportedly progressing on a phased deal that may deliver "early wins" and defuse trade tensions. Sources familiar with the matter say the latest discussions touched on regulatory standards for food safety, plant and human health, as well as technical trade barriers. While the information remains unofficial, officials indicated meaningful progress has been made, and both sides are pushing to conclude the initial tranche of the agreement swiftly. The negotiations come amid legal challenges to the proposed tariffs in Washington, suggesting a window of opportunity for resolution before trade restrictions tighten further. Market watchers are monitoring this closely, particularly for companies with India-related exposure or global supply chain footprints. Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA), for instance, has previously signaled interest in expanding into India's EV marketa breakthrough trade agreement could influence cost structures and regulatory clarity for such ambitions. As the July deadline approaches, investors may want to position for potential volatility and opportunity tied to trade dynamics. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.
