Both India and China celebrated 2025 as the year of 75th anniversary of their diplomatic relations.Looking back,China’s foreign minister had suggested at a press conference in Beijing that the “dragon and the elephant should dance together and that the ballet would be the only right choice for both India and China”. Do these not signal China’s desire to improve relations with India?
Catching these signals, the BJP had recently extended a red carpet welcome to China's communist party at BJP Hq in Delhi.Was it not justified?
No doubt,holding a contrarian view, some experts do believe that China could never be trusted.But,what about Trump’s tariff war? How could the US force India to import arms ,crude oil, agricultural /dairy,fisheries and genetically modified products from it .This will adversely impact indian farmers and fishermen.
How could India ignore its national interests in the fast changing dynamics of international geopolitics?Did any country foresee the standoff between the US and eight european countries over former’s insistence on annexing Greenland?
Both,Russia and China are already suspicious about Pakistan’s growing proximity with the US.
All things considered,under such geopolitical compulsions,India needs to play its card carefully by strengthening the BRICS for creating a new currency for trade, despite US’s opposition to it, calling it a step towards “ de-dollarisation”.
China has border issues with all its neighbours.India must address these issues firmly and cautiously in the new world order.China is also expected to shun its claims on Aksaichin,Arunachal Pradesh and the latest Shaksgam valley as its territories. Shaksgam valley was illegally ceded by Pakistan to China
India should put its best foot forward in the emerging multi-polar world order and continue as member of the QUAD.
And finally,India must also support Russia’s proposal of forming the Russia-India-China troika (RIC troika) as a trilateral grouping to counter western dominance.
There seems to be no other option for it in the present chaotic and confused situation.

Hearty congratulations to the Govt of Tamil Nadu for announcing the new pension scheme which will be of immense benefit to the govt officials on retirement. I would like to mention a point please. Except for the pensioners covered under EPS 95 pension scheme most of the organised professions in our country are having the benefit of very lucrative pensions. The present minimum pension of a EPS 95 pensioner is Rs 1000 , mercifully the minimum pension which was Rs 500 from 1995 onwards was proposed to be revised to Rs 1000 by the govt of the day before the 2014 general elections and thankfully it was implemented by the govt of the day post 2014 elections. A number of very distinguished Honble MPs and others have been trying their best to convince the Ministry of Finance GOI and EPFO to revise the minimum pension of Rs 1000 to a respectable figure . But it looks like there is a utter lack of empathy from the concerned departments and about 65 Lakhs pensioners are hoping against hope that some change will accrue. God only knows how many of the pensioners who were hoping for a decent pension to manage their retired life with dignity have left for their heavenly abode. Trust that the The Almighty will give the wisdom to the concerned officials to take up the issue of revising the minimum pension to a decent figure considering the present day cost of living and get it implemented in the forseeable future. Thank you

Realisation time
Now Fadnavis will realise that being CM of Maharashtra is a much bigger position than being CM of a small state like Vidarbha …. He was the one who once supported for separate vidarbha state .

Indo-China Relations in 2025 onwards China had hurt Indian masses forever, unless it decides to make friends with India forever. India-China relation in all speres of economic, political, intellectual, cultural and religion were only revived during the Buddhist phase, though they must have started in the pre-Buddhist time and this aspect needs to be researched, the history of that period will bring out the strengths and weaknesses of our mutually beneficial relations. The need for re-thinking Indo-China relations has arisen in this year 2025 because of Trump’s adventurism and the American Deep State’s future plans for Neo-Colonisation of the world, with Europe being no exception, rather included, if Greenland actions indicate anything. The need today is to re-build trust in relations to develop deep friendly relations between India and China. China has to start the exercise to heal the wounds of 1962 for ever. The exercise will strengthen our relations for centuries, much, much, beyond 2025. Communism has already lost the charm. The young generation today is aware of the world and can’t be satisfied with jargon or rhetoric. Unless they share the fruits of development as equals, they will remain chained to the vicious circle of poverty generated by highly unethical economic doctrines of war hungry superpower/s. They are not prepared to be short changed, labouring hard at low wages as the factory of the world on fruitless arms race eating every Dollar they earn. Mankind does not need all these weapons of mass destruction that fuel the silly arms race. India and China have the potential for unimaginable growth and prosperity. As the world order is being reshaped now at breakneck speed, we cannot afford to miss this opportunity by living with an enemy frame of mind any longer as the cost involved is rather too heavy. To start with, China should return the Indian territory it has been occupying since 1962. The future China will be a strong democratic country, as communism is already history. Strong Indo-China relations will determine whether America succeeds in establishing colonies as it has already done in Pakistan, Bangladesh, Venezuela and trying to increase the numbers by the week. More than 8 decades have been lost to the hate narrative against one or the other, another cannot be gifted to such powers.

Life does not shout its lessons. It whispers them daily, patiently, until time turns those whispers into consequences. Many people realize this only after opportunities have passed, health has faded or trust has been broken. Many life secrets most people learn too late. Every essential part of living speaks a simple, unchanging language.
Money speaks only one language viz., responsibility. If you save and respect it today, it will protect you tomorrow. Treat it carelessly, and it will disappear when you need it most. Money does not reward desire, rather it rewards discipline. Similarly, time speaks only one truth, which is, irreversibility. If you waste it now, it will fail you later. Time cannot be borrowed, paused or refunded. It either compounds your efforts or magnifies your regrets. To mention about health, it gives only one warning, that is, attention. Ignore it today and it will abandon you tomorrow. The body keeps a quiet score of every neglect and every care. By the time pain speaks, prevention has already gone silent.
To mention a few more, trust speaks only one rule and that is fragility. Break it once, and it may never fully return. Trust takes years to build, seconds to destroy and sometimes a lifetime to repair, if at all possible. To speak about discipline, it tells only one result and that is freedom. If you follow me today, I will reward you tomorrow. What feels like restriction now becomes strength later. Discipline is the bridge between intention and achievement.
Education speaks only one promise and which is elevation. Invest in it today, and it will lift you for a lifetime. Education does not just change what you know, it changes what you see, what you question and what you believe is possible. Similarly, Respect speaks only one path - reciprocity. Give it sincerely, and it returns to you. Demand it without offering it, and it disappears. Respect is earned through consistency, not claimed through words. To mention about Character, it speaks only one truth, that is, protection. Build it daily, and it will defend you when no one else does. Reputation may open doors, but character determines whether you deserve to walk through them. Love speaks only one action - expression. Show it now, and it grows with you. Neglect it, and it withers silently. Love survives not on intention, but on presence, patience and care.
Last but not the least, Knowledge. It speaks only one promise, that is, service. Chase it now, and it will serve you forever. Knowledge is the only possession that multiplies when shared and strengthens with use.
Life does not punish or reward randomly. It responds. Every choice made today is a message sent to tomorrow. Those who learn early live lighter. Those who learn late live wiser, but often with scars. The secrets were never hidden. They were simply ignored.
Yours truly,
Subbiah Sridhar

Many people nowadays attribute the Constitution of India to Dr Ambedkar. This is especially so by those who avail of affirmative action benefits. This is a great distortion of facts. Dr Ambedkar was only the Chairman of the drafting Committee. The Constitution was the creation of the entire Constituent Assembly which debated each and every Article, word by word and agreed to pass the Constitution including the affirmative action provisions. When the President of the Assembly, Dr Rajendra Prasad is not given the credit for the Constitution, how can a person who was merely the Chairman of the drafting Committee be given the credit? Actually, Dr Ambedkar all his life rode on British shoulders. He was a Member of the Viceroy's Executive Council from 1942-46 when all the leading lights of the freedom struggle were being tortured in British jails. The British used him to avoid independence, just as they used the Muslim League and the princely states. Every freedom fighter was jailed by the British. Dr Ambedkar never spent a moment in British jails. How can someone who never opposed British rule, who never participated in the freedom struggle in any way, who welcomed British rule and openly allied with the British and enjoyed British office till the very advent of freedom, be the father of the Indian Constitution? It is a travesty of history that a narrative has been built around Dr Ambedkar being the father of the Indian Constitution. This was not so when Dr Ambedkar was alive. No one in those days gave him credit for either freedom or the Constitution because everybody knew the events fully, having lived through those days. It was only in the 90s when Sh Kanshi Ramji needed some new dalit idol that he created a narrative and resurrected Dr Ambedkar in this light. Babu Jagjivan Ram, the real leader of the dalits who spent years in British jails, today is forgotten and consigned to the dustbin of history, his sacrifices but a forgotten chapter in Indian history just as the contributions of the krantikaris were swept under the carpet to build up a Nehru narrative post independence.

To The Divisional Railway Manager (DRM) Sir, Sonpur Division, Indian Railways
Request for cleaning and maintenance of Mithila paintings under the railway underpass.
Respected Sir, I would like to respectfully draw your kind attention to the railway underpass near Lalu Yadav Chowk, Bharpura, Sonpur (Saran). Under this underpass, beautiful Mithila paintings have been created on the walls, which reflect our rich cultural heritage and enhance the beauty of the area. However, due to dust, pollution, and lack of regular cleaning, these paintings have now become very dirty and dull. Many people use this road daily, and the present condition of the paintings creates an unfavorable impression, despite their artistic value. Therefore, I humbly request you to kindly issue necessary instructions to the concerned department for cleaning and proper maintenance of the Mithila paintings at the earliest, so that their beauty and cultural significance can be restored. I shall be highly grateful to you for your kind support and cooperation. Thanking you.
Aakash Raj
