Dear Readers,

Bharat/India: The sovereignty and integrity of India is of paramount importance. Bharatwasis are united. Prime Minister Narendra Modi had a meeting with representatives of 20 political parties following the border skirmish with China. With nails wrapped around rods and wires, Chinese soldiers killed 20 Indian soldiers. Our soldiers fought back. There needs to be accountability and transparency about measures to prevent Chinese land-grab in border areas. The long-term motive of the Chinese is to dominate India. That is totally unacceptable to Bharatwasis. However, we must realize that the only way we can manage the rise of China is by rising ourselves. We must grow at 7-8% per year for the next three decades. We must avoid complacency and work together in a Spartan and honest spirit.  India should gradually reduce import dependence on Chinese and other foreign goods while also developing our export competitiveness. This will help India to become ‘Atmanirbhar’ and boost ‘Make in India’. There is a saying, “Necessity is the mother of invention.” This is the time for India to ramp up its productivity in all sectors including manufacturing, agriculture and services........
