Whether it was due to the efforts of the United States or the sagacity of the leadership of India and Pakistan, the announcement of a ceasefire between India and Pakistan is welcome. No sane person on either side of the border would want a prolonged war between two nations that are nuclear powers.
However, the Indian people need to know whether every objective of launching 'Operation Sindoor' has been achieved and what caused India to accept the ceasefire proposal so readily, when it was reportedly in an advantageous position.
As the Prime Minister has said, 'Blood and water can't flow together'.
India must have firm steps in place to check terror attacks originating from or that are aided by Pakistan. Else, we will be back to square one, with no bargaining chip, with a hostile neighbour bent upon hurting us in every possible way.

'The Huddle 2025'
It was interesting to read the reports on The Hindu's The Huddle in Bengaluru. One hopes that the dialogues with eminent people give life to constructive ideas, which the government and society can also analyse.

US team scraps visit, trade talks with India stuck on agri hurdle
The India-US negotiations for a trade deal, which began in February after Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited the United States, have come to a halt, and the US negotiators' scheduled visit to India later this month stands cancelled, a source aware of the development told The Indian Express. The breakdown in trade talks assumes significance as US President Donald Trump has announced 50 per cent tariff on Indian products, the highest on any country globally. While 25 per cent tariff has already come into effect, government officials have said the levy of another 25 per cent – for Russia oil trade — could depend on 'how geopolitical events unfold'. The Indian Express had first reported on August 8 that the negotiations for a trade agreement had hit a pause, and the arrival of the US trade team was uncertain, as no formal communication had been received from their side. The deal has been stuck over India's long-standing stance of protecting farmers in every trade agreement. The US, under Trump, is prioritising market access for its agricultural products. In his Independence Day speech on Friday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi reiterated that India would not compromise on the well-being of its farmers, fisherfolk and cattle keepers, amid the standoff with the US over access for American products in India's agriculture and dairy market. On August 7, too, after Trump announced the additional 25 per cent tariff on Indian goods, Modi had said that he would not compromise 'even if it entailed paying a very heavy personal price'. The geopolitical factor The uncertainty over when the tariffs on India could ease may drag on, as Trump's high-stakes talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin did not result in a Russia-Ukraine ceasefire. However, Trump said he and Putin had made progress during the meeting in Alaska. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has warned that the secondary tariffs on India could increase if 'things don't go well' during the Trump-Putin talks. 'I think everyone has been frustrated with President Putin. We expected that he would come to the table in a more fulsome way. It looks like he may be ready to negotiate. And we put secondary tariffs on the Indians for buying Russian oil. I could see, if things don't go well, then sanctions or secondary tariffs could go up,' Bessent said in an interview with Bloomberg earlier.

Neelam Social releases documentary on conservancy workers' protests
Neelam Cultural Centre's YouTube channel, Neelam Social, that had documented every development of the 13-day-long sit-in protest organised by conservancy workers, released a documentary titled 'The Eve Before Independence Day'. The protests were organised by the workers demanding permanent jobs and end of privatisation of garbage disposal in the city. . Founded by filmmaker Pa. Ranjith, Neelam Cultural Centre's YouTube channel focusses on social and political issues faced by marginalised sections of society. The almost 27-minute-long documentary features video footage of how the police encircled the protesters before bringing in buses to take them out of the protest site. Speaking to The Hindu, Neelam Magazine's Editor, Vasugi Bhaskar, said that a three-person crew was stationed at the protest site to document every move and development in the protests. 'Our job was to record as much footage as possible. We didn't know what we were going to do with it. However, given that mainstream media often ignores and sometimes even misrepresents the protests launched by marginalised sections, we wanted to be there,' said Mr. Bhaskar. Rejecting the allegation made by certain sections on social media that Neelam Cultural Centre was actively involved in giving direction to the protesters, Mr. Bhaskar said that the organisation often had to face unfair and unsubstantiated slander. 'In fact, we were clear that this was their [conservancy workers] protest and that the credit belongs to them. We were merely present there to document how the State deals with such protests,' he said.

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi to visit India next week for border talks; what's on the cards?
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi will be in India for a two-day visit on August 18 and August 19, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said on Saturday. The top Chinese official will be in India to hold the 24th round of talks on the India-China border talk with National Security Adviser Ajit Doval, who is New Delhi's Special Representative of the matter. 'At the invitation of National Security Advisor Shri Ajit Doval, Member of the Politburo of the Communist Party of China and Chinese Foreign Minister H.E. Mr. Wang Yi will visit India on 18-19 August 2025. During his visit, he will hold the 24th round of the Special Representatives' (SR) Talks on the India-China boundary question with India's SR, NSA Shri Doval,' the MEA said in a statement on the day. 'EAM Dr. S. Jaishankar will hold a bilateral meeting with Mr. Wang Yi,' it added. Earlier in the day, China also confirmed its Foreign Minister's visit to India. Wang, along with NSA Doval, heads the Special Representatives dialogue mechanism aimed at addressing the vexed border dispute spanning the 3,488 km Line of Actual Control (LAC). Wang Yi's visit to India comes days ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's tour to China where he will attend the annual Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit from August 31. India and China have been working to improve their relationship in recent months, marked by several significant developments. High-level talks between the two countries have resumed, including meetings between Foreign Minister Wang Yi and India's External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping are expected to meet at the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit in Tianjin, China, later this month. Moreover, India and China have agreed to disengage and resume patrolling in the Depsang Plains and Demchok areas along the Line of Actual Control (LAC). This move aims to reduce tensions and restore peace along the border. Both the countries are bearing the heat of global trade and geopolitical turbulence triggered by US President Donald Trump's tariff blitz. Chinese and Indian officials have said in recent weeks that the two countries were discussing the resumption of border trade.
