GL responds: It is my understanding that the business community across India approves of Modi's policies. This is reflected by economic strides across several sectors of the economy, including defense and aerospace, and by several private enterprises beyond Gautam Adani. The Indian press does report the violence across the country - both political and domestic. Goanetters get their daily fill of anti-government posts. It is for state's government to deal with these local issues. On an international level, India is the only economic bright star; and an example is the hope that Air India's recent big airplane order will reinvigorate world economies and jobs in USA, France, Britain. I am sure India's benefit from the East and West by its cozy oil refining deal with Russia irks many western capitalists. Even USA benefits from India's export of refined oil, which is helping car drivers and the economy. Geo-strategically, India is rightly positioned to benefit from the opposing blocks in today's worldwide conflicts; and carries on its business diligently with its nose to the grinding stone. So let us beware of foreigners who would like to sow dissent in India and among Indians without leaving any fingerprints.

India is under attack by foreign powers. Specifically, the United Kingdom and the United States. Or so our government would have us believe. Why? Because former colonialists and neo-imperialists cannot tolerate our prosperity and good fortune. The attack, we are told, is aimed at the political and economic foundations of our young nation.
