Amid Trump's tariffs, Rajnath Singh claims ‘sabke boss' does not like India's rise
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Sunday claimed that there are some who think they are 'sabke [everyone's] boss', adding that they are trying to make Indian goods expensive because 'they do not like the rapid development of India'. It was unclear who the Bharatiya Janata Party leader was referring to. However, the comment came amid diplomatic tensions between New Delhi and Washington after the Donald Trump administration doubled the tariffs on goods imported from India to 50% for purchasing Russian oil. The doubling of the levies came a week after Trump announced a 25% levy on Indian goods as part of the so-called reciprocal tariffs on dozens of countries that have not finalised separate trade agreements with the US. Speaking at an event in Madhya Pradesh's Raisen district on Saturday, Singh said that when India 'used to say that we would become the world's largest economy, people used to make fun of us'. He claimed that the world had now accepted that India was progressing fastest under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership. 'Everyone has accepted this reality,' he said. However, the Union minister claimed that there was an effort to make Indian goods expensive so that they are not bought by consumers in other countries. 'There are some people who do not like the rapid development of India,' Singh said. 'They don't like it [because they feel]: We are everyone's boss, how is India growing so rapidly?' He added: 'There are many who are trying to do something so that when things made by Indians in India go to other countries, they become more expensive than things made in those countries.' In response to Trump's levies, New Delhi had said that it was ' extremely unfortunate ' that the US had chosen to impose additional tariffs on India 'for actions that several other countries are also taking in their own national interest'. 'We reiterate that these actions are unfair, unjustified and unreasonable,' the Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson had said on August 6. 'India will take all actions necessary to protect its national interests.'

'The ROI of a sibling': Shaadi.com's Anupam Mittal's message for couples who don't want kids or stick to one for convenience
Synopsis Anupam Mittal, Shark Tank India judge, highlights the value of siblings. He calls them a 'lifetime infrastructure' offering unwavering support. Mittal shares his personal experience with his sisters Vandana and Shilpa. They helped care for their father during an illness. He also mentions considering a sibling for his daughter Alyssa. Anupam Mittal Shark Tank India judge and founder Anupam Mittal has a heartfelt message for those who believe one child is enough. In a recent LinkedIn post, Mittal wrote, 'Interesting to see people optimizing parenthood for convenience — 'No kids… one kid is enough… tuition is insane… we want to travel… raising kids is tough.' All true. All valid. All a matter of personal choice. But in the Excel sheet of life, there are two columns that made all the difference for me — my two sisters.' For him, siblings are not just playmates but 'lifetime infrastructure' — the only people who remind you who you were before LinkedIn turned you into a 'professional.' Citing the ongoing 80-year Harvard Study of Adult Development, Mittal noted that the biggest predictor of happiness isn't money, kale, or meditation, but positive relationships. 'Siblings are the longest subscription plan for that. No renewals needed,' he said. Recalling personal experiences, Mittal shared how his sisters, Vandana and Shilpa, helped care for their father during an illness. 'We rotated duties. No burnout. No 'career vs conscience' decisions. Without them, I'd have had to choose — and either way, I'd lose something irreplaceable.' He added that while his parents built a life for the family, his sisters were building him — offering love, support, and standing by him through every high and heartbreak. 'Maybe that's why Anchal and I feel bad Alyssa doesn't have a sibling. So, we're manufacturing that anchor with her army of cousins, because I know exactly what it's worth,' he wrote. Posting this ahead of Raksha Bandhan, Mittal also shared a picture with his sisters. The post struck a chord with many. One commenter wrote, 'Truth bomb. In a world chasing solo success, we forget that life's real compound interest is built in relationships. Siblings aren't just family — they're your emergency backup system, your unfiltered reality check, and your lifelong safety net. Money fades. Looks fade. Titles fade. But a brother or sister? That ROI never expires.' Another added, 'In the ROI of life, emotional equity beats financial equity every single time. We optimise for school fees, travel plans, and convenience… but forget that siblings are not just childhood memories — they're lifelong backup systems. When life throws curveballs, it's rarely your LinkedIn network that shows up at 2 AM. It's the ones who've seen you at your messiest and still stayed.'

We have birding, game fishing, and even the only active volcano in India at Barren Island. The region is vast — even ten days aren't enough to explore it fully. No other destination offers this level of ease for both Indian and international travellers,' he several hospitality projects are in the pipeline, Singh was unfased by the entry of large mainland brands.'Bigger players will only create more opportunities for islanders, raising living standards and attracting premium travellers with higher spending power,' he said.'With the support we have today, everyone should experience the Andamans. I've travelled to the most beautiful islands in Europe, the Seychelles, and the Maldives — but the Andamans remain unmatched for the experiences they offer,' he concluded.
