India

Espousing views is the crux of the issue here. Last I checked, India irrespective of party and affiliation regards Udham Singh - the murderer of British governor Michael O'Dwyer as a national hero. Quite contrary to Gandhi school of thought.

 

Majority of Sikhs AND BJP insiders including Modi denounce Indira Gandhi for the same reasons, acting like the parade is an affront is just politics and a shift of focus. https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/chandigarh/modis-attack-on-akal-takht-remark-shift-from-centres-line/articleshow/102666485.cms?from=mdr

 

Murdering a Canadian on Canadian soil which is unacceptable for maintenance of any global order.

I don't think so. I for one am not a fan of Indira and neither do I take any offence to their views on Indira. It is not the same when they very openly talk about balkanizing the country.

[sundin]

If its just talking about Balkanization, why should western countries care? India seceded from the British benefiting from talks about balkanization in California and BC (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghadar_Movement) Similarly, we talk about CCP and its respective issues with HK and Taiwan from a Western perspective and a One China policy. 

 

As far as India, I believe there has been a regime change in the last decade for the worse. India is a federate of states that can't have division along the lines of caste/language/region/religion to remain strong and unified. It's like a continent of different cultures, as if Africa were to be one country - practically needs unity to survive. The Modi govt doesn;t have best record here.

What are some investing resources that are unique to India? I've come across Equitymaster and Dalal Street Investment Journal but haven't found anything else. Is there a Valueline/Japan Company Handbook equivalent?

Indian government kicking out 41 Canadian diplomats

...

Trudeau said Tuesday that his government wants to lower the temperature in this dispute.

 

“We’re not looking to escalate, as I’ve said. We are going to be doing the work that matters and continuing to have constructive relations with India through this extremely difficult time,” Trudeau said.

 

Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly said she was talking with the Indian government about Canada’s diplomatic presence.

 

“We are in contact with the Government of India. We take Canadian diplomats’ safety very seriously. And we will continue to engage privately because we think that diplomatic conversations are best when they remain private.”

Not sure why O'Dwyer being killed is seen as something negative.

Killing slave owners is a generally good thing.

US Invests $553 Million in Adani's ...

...

For Adani, US money may offer a stamp of legitimacy after allegations of fraud by short seller
Hindenburg Research erased billions from the conglomerate’s market value earlier this year.

The deepwater West Container Terminal in Colombo is the US government
agency’s largest infrastructure investment in Asia, and among its
biggest globally. It will bolster Sri Lanka’s economic growth and “its
regional economic integration, including with India, a key partner to
both countries,” DFC said in a statement.

The funding is part of a global acceleration of DFC investments that
totaled $9.3 billion in 2023.

“It is a high priority for the US to be active in the Indo-Pacific
region,” Scott Nathan, the DFC’s chief executive officer told reporters
in Colombo Wednesday. “It is obviously the engine of economic growth for
the world.”

i am on a self directed tour in south east Asia. Seeing five cities in three countries. Kuala Lumpur was two cities ago. So already left. 
 

Now in north of Thailand in Chiangmai.
Will probably do Vietnam and the rest of Thailand in 2024 on a different tour.    

 

Hope to be able to do this in India soon. Assuming I can figure out which part to tackle first. The sheer size of India is staggering. But like compounding I guess you never start until you start.

This must be a mistake and a mixup 

 

 

White House spokesperson, Adrienne Watson, said in a statement that Indian officials “expressed surprise and concern” at the accusations, suggesting extraterritorial assassinations were “not their policy”.

 

“We understand the Indian government is further investigating this issue and will have more to say about it in the coming days. We have conveyed our expectation that anyone deemed responsible should be held accountable,” said Watson.

In recently concluded World Cup, India was the only country to win all 9 round-robin matches.

 

Then they won the semi-final and lost the final; which was a loss after winning streak of 10.

 

You can call that a shooting star or going down in flames, depending on your bias/propaganda.

Yup! India has a history of winning hearts. Again and again.

2015 WC Semis:             Lost
2016 T20 WC Semis:     Lost
2017 CT final:                 Lost

lol, the truth hurts I guess. #1 in the sport but haven't won a trophy since 2011. So congrats on being the Tottenham Hotspurs of the sport.

Not hurt about losing the semifinals or finals. I am unbiased and see the trophies as insignificant images of vanity.

 

Do you realize what a rare feat of achievement is to be #1 on all 3 formats at the same time? 

 

Human attitude displayed by you guys totally explains the discounted share price of Fairfax. 

 

The company is firing on all cylinders and the people have their focus on where they went wrong like Blackberry.

Nope.  It was a U.S. sting that caught the assassin.  He was to take out the lawyer for the Vancouver sikh who was killed a few months ago.  They also had a couple of other targets they were assigned to take out.  

 

This is very, very ugly for Modi and India.  Reeks of the shit that Saudi Arabia was doing with Jamal Khashoggi.  

 

Will it get whitewashed like that incident, or will Modi's head be delivered on a platter in the next election?  Cheers!
