'Trump is shocked by insult from best friend': Indian-origin venture capitalist says India should be nice to him; 'Promise to buy...'
Indian-origin venture capitalist Asha Jadeja Motwani, who offered to help read US President Donald Trump's mind as the largest Indian-American donor of the Republican Party, said New Delhi must be nice to Trump if it wants to reduce tariffs.
Listing down five things that New Delhi needs to do to be in Trump's good books, the Indian-origin entrepreneur said that Trump will reduce tariffs as soon as "we melt him".
"Will Trump reduce tariffs on India? Yes! But this is dependent on how FAST we melt him. He is hurt, humiliated and shocked that his best friend insulted him in public on the ceasefire fiasco (justified or not). He will come around, but SHOW him the warmth that we genuinely have for our bestie US, a fellow democracy, a fellow free country and a fellow market economy.
With a 6 million strong diaspora," Motwani said.

The entrepreneur said Trump wants Indian's top business houses to come together and announce an MOU of between $100 billion to $500 billion investment in the US.
The second step will be to close on the purchase of Styker and Javelin.
The third will be a promise to buy more energy from the US and reduce dependence on Russian crude.
Fourth is to thank Trump, if possible, for "his behind-the-scenes work on controlling Chinese military equipment, and support in Pakistan".

"BE NICE TO TRUMP. He knows we love him, but we must show it more actively. American culture is different from India. Be more expressive," Motwani wrote.
Trump imposed a 25 per cent penalty on India in addition to 25 per cent tariff for buying Russian oil. The new tariffs are set to come into effect on August 27 and US negotiators are expected to go to India on August 25. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has warned that Washington could increase secondary tariffs on India. "We've put secondary tariffs on Indians for buying Russian oil. And I could see, If things don't go well, then sanctions or secondary tariffs could go up," Bessent said in an interview to Bloomberg TV on Wednesday.

Har Ghar Tiranga yatra celebrated with patriotic fervour
Hyderabad: The 'Har Ghar Tiranga' yatra, organised by the BJP, was celebrated with immense enthusiasm across Telangana as part of the nationwide campaign, despite alleged hurdles posed by the state's Congress-led government. Telangana BJP President N. Ramchander Rao led the yatra at two prominent locations—Necklace Road and JNTU Kukatpally. The event witnessed participation from party leaders, workers, students, and citizens, all united in a display of patriotic spirit. Addressing the gathering at Necklace Road, Rao stated that while the yatra is officially organised in BJP-ruled states, in Telangana, people—especially students—are voluntarily joining the initiative. He announced that the national flag would be hoisted on 40 lakh homes across the state, describing it as a powerful symbol of unity, dignity, and national pride. Rao emphasized that the yatra, launched under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, is instilling a deep sense of patriotism in every Indian. He noted that the campaign commemorates the 79th Independence Day and pays tribute to the sacrifices of countless freedom fighters and visionary leaders who secured India's independence. In a sharp political statement, Rao accused the Congress party of having supported British and Pakistani interests during the partition of India, which he claimed led to the plundering of the nation's wealth. He urged participants to pledge their commitment to safeguarding India's unity, integrity, and cultural heritage. The yatra in Hyderabad proceeded from Necklace Road to the B.R. Ambedkar statue near the Secretariat, while in Kukatpally, it moved from JNTU to the HUDA Truck Park. Despite the festive atmosphere, Rao revealed that he had been placed under house arrest by the police on August 12, allegedly to prevent his participation in the event. The BJP's Har Ghar Tiranga campaign has gained momentum across Telangana, with citizens actively engaging in flag-hoisting ceremonies and public marches. The initiative aims to foster a collective sense of national pride and reinforce the values of democracy and unity. As the state prepares to celebrate Independence Day, the yatra stands as a testament to the enduring spirit of patriotism among the people of Telangana, transcending political barriers and reaffirming their commitment to the nation, the BJP chief said.
