‘Needling India won’t make America great again’: US expert warns Trump

The article first appeared in Business Today on June 11, 2025 India was one of the few major countries to openly welcome Donald Trump's return to power. But five months into his second term, there are signs that the goodwill is wearing thin. In an opinion piece for The Wall Street Journal, Walter Russell Mead, Professor of Foreign Policy at Bard College and Distinguished Fellow at the Hudson Institute, wrote: "Among the handful of American allies and partners that welcomed Donald Trump’s return to power, India was the most important. Nearly five months into his second term, some of Trump’s strongest Indian supporters wonder if they made a mistake."... Read more on Business Today Find more Global Indian Top Reads

Indian students reconsider plans for US education

The article first appeared in BBC on June 10, 2025 When 26-year-old Umar Sofi received his acceptance letter from Columbia University's School of Journalism, he thought the hardest part of his journey was over. After trying for three years, Mr Sofi had finally been admitted to his dream university and even secured a partial scholarship. He quit his job in anticipation of the big move. But on 27 May, when the US suddenly paused student visa appointments, the ground slipped from beneath his feet. "I was numb. I could not process what had happened," Mr Sofi, who lives in Indian-administered Kashmir, told the BBC... Read more on BBC  Find more Global Indian Top Reads

Ivy League dreams in limbo: Visas, verdicts & very anxious students

The article first appeared in The Economic Times on May 31, 2025. “Ivy League colleges cannot survive without international students. They are the backbone of America’s academic strength. This situation is temporary... it will pass.” I have been saying this often these days, more to calm the nerves of students and their parents than anything else. For over two decades, I’ve watched thousands of Indian students chase the American Dream—an Ivy League degree, a high-flying job in the US and a life of global success. I’ve walked this journey with them—from the nervous excitement of SAT prep to nail-biting decisions on colleges... Read more on The Economic Times Find more Global Indian Top Reads

Is India the world’s fourth largest economy?

The article was first published in The Hindu on June 2, 2025. Over the past week, much media space was devoted to discussions around the size of India’s economy relative to other economies of the world. These discussions were based on the new estimates of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of various countries for 2024 by the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and its annual projections from 2025 till 2030. As per these projections, India’s GDP in 2025 was likely to be $4,187.03 billion, which will be marginally higher than the GDP of Japan at $4,186.43 billion. Thus, in all probability, India will be the fourth largest economy of the world in 2025 after the U.S., China and Germany... Read more on The Hindu Find more Global Indian Top Reads
