Hello, Mr Trump? Hello? Why New Delhi's outreach isn't reaching the only man who matters
'The number you've dialled is currently busy' It didn't have to come to this. India-US relations are in desperate need of Operation Salvage and a restorative touch. Donald Trump's insults and excessive tariffs on India totalling 50% are threatening to bury the relationship, a fate neither side can say that this too shall pass, and India will ride it out, but decisions made now, when tempers are high and vision is clouded, can affect the relationship for years to come. The famed friendship between Trump and Narendra Modi is already a casualty of the crisis. It's clear that Trump makes all the major decisions - be it to bend, to mend or to upend relations with other countries. He is the only one who matters, but India appears to have no effective channel to him that one can detect. It's proving to be the biggest gap in India's diplomacy. Meanwhile, Asim Munir was on his second visit to the US in less than two months, allegedly issuing nuclear threats against India and attending the farewell of the Centcom commander, Michael Kurilla, on the Delhi, clearly out of favour with Trump, is reduced to looking for a side door entry into Washington. MEA's adroit welcoming of Trump's peace-making efforts with Vladimir Putin and with Armenia and Azerbaijan was dip in relations comes against the backdrop of growing anti-India feeling within the MAGA ecosystem. Prominent MAGA voices are spewing venom against Indians on social media as job stealers, brown hordes, builders of 'pagan temples' and followers of strange-looking gods. It's ugly. Anger against H-1Bs - always present - has burst into the open. Trump's top political and immigration adviser, Stephen Miller, is leading the charge - there's little political price to pay for denigrating who think Trump will stand in the way because of economic compulsions may be in for a shock. He won't irk his base for India, especially when he feels aggrieved by Indian officials say multiple channels are at work to reach the president. But no breakthrough is discernible. The vast tech ecosystem has not been mobilised. Ditto for the diaspora and Indian-American donors, one of whom has gone public with offers of help. Asha Jadeja Motwani, one of the biggest donors with close to $2.5 mn to the Republican National Committee, who knows J D Vance and commerce secretary Howard Lutnick, has repeatedly said on X she can intervene on India's behalf. But she hasn't heard from the Indian embassy, she into Trump's inner circle should have ideally been made during the campaign and continuously broadened after he won. Assumptions that India can 'manage' Trump, depend on China hawks to keep the balance, and make tactical concessions on trade to keep Trump in good humour have proven painfully re-engagement with Pakistan came as a shock. Yes, the US has a long history with Pakistan, but the latest phase caught India unawares. Not knowing meant no preventive diplomacy and no chance for a counteroffensive. One can take refuge under the umbrella that everything about this president is crazy, all countries are suffering, and India is no exception - all true - but the fact remains that some countries have done better than some resentment against India in the aftermath of Op Sindoor has proved to be the main problem that compounds with each passing day. After the third time Trump claimed credit for the ceasefire, it should have become clear his umbrage was real and required a political touch. Perhaps it was unwise to dismiss it as 'Trump being Trump' as most of us did. Early outreach might have helped, but diplomatic wisdom ordained others have said, Modi could have called, finessed the whole thing, and acknowledged him as a 'peace president' without ceding ground on third-party mediation in Kashmir. This is not an argument for 'kissing the ring', but a call could have been used to creatively pull Trump into India's corner, thank him for 'pressuring' Pakistan into a ceasefire, and to remind him he has always been against terrorism and that peace in South Asia depends on ending cross- border that hindsight is 20/20, and no one can predict how Trump would have responded. But a more innovative approach was worth a try. Instead, Trump's capriciousness and extractive tactics, combined with India's stern diplomacy, have pushed the relationship to an uncertain place. Ignoring the personal has come at a heavy price, with Trump going the extra mile to punish India, to say nothing of the negative on both sides claim that apart from Trump, the relationship continues 'apace', citing bilateral activity as proof. Frankly, it doesn't ring true. This has been a reality check, and unless something changes dramatically, the coming three years under Trump with this level of difficulty will be hard.

Bihar: Minta Devi slams INDIA Bloc Protest Over 124-Year-Old Voter Claim
A woman from Bihar's Siwan district on Tuesday criticised Opposition MPs for using her name in their protest over alleged discrepancies in the voter list, after she was recorded as 124 years old in Election Commission (EC) records. INDIA bloc MPs earlier in the day staged a demonstration in Parliament wearing T-shirts featuring Minta Devi's name emblazoned with the slogan '124 Not Out' to highlight errors in the electoral roll. Reacting to the protest, Minta Devi told ANI that she learned about the issue only a few days ago and rejected the Opposition's use of her name and age for political purposes. "I came to know about this 2-4 days back... Who are they (Opposition MPs) to me? Who is Priyanka Gandhi or Rahul Gandhi to me? Who gave them the right to wear T-shirts featuring me?... I think there are discrepancies (in the list)... I did not get anyone's (from the administration) phone call... Why are they becoming my well-wisher over my age?... This should not be done, I do not want this..." she said. "I want my details to be corrected... Whoever entered the details, did they do so with their eyes closed?... If I am 124 years old in the eyes of the government, why are they not giving me old age pension? My Aadhaar Card mentions 15-07-1990 as my date of birth," she added. Meanwhile, Leader of Opposition (LoP) in the Lok Sabha and Congress MP Rahul Gandhi today criticised the Election Commission of India, alleging that it has failed to uphold the principle of "One Man, One Vote," which he described as the foundation of the Constitution. Gandhi further accused the ECI of neglecting its duty, asserting that the Congress party is committed to protecting the Constitution and will continue to do. "We are protecting the Constitution. One Man One Vote is the foundation of the Constitution. It is the duty of the Election Commission to enforce One Man, One Vote, but they have not done their duty. We are protecting the Constitution, and we will keep doing it..." Earlier today, Congress Parliamentary Party chairperson Sonia Gandhi and party president Mallikarjun Kharge joined fellow INDIA bloc members in staging a protest in Parliament over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) issue. Several Opposition MPs arrived wearing white T-shirts emblazoned with the slogan '124 Not Out'. CPI(M) MP P Sandosh Kumar said the opposition intends to intensify its campaign, " INDIA parties' leaders are more energised and this has become an all-India campaign. We will intensify our fight against SIR. There is more unity among the coalition partners now. This will be a huge fight to save democracy..." Prominent leaders such as Nationalist Congress Party (Sharad Pawar), MP Supriya Sule, and DMK MP Kanimozhi were seen holding onions during the protest.
