Bhadrachalam women lauded by PM Modi in ‘Mann ki Baat'
HYDERABAD: Eight tribal women from Bhadrachalam, Telangana, who transitioned from daily wage labourers to successful entrepreneurs, were praised by Prime Minister Narendra Modi during the 123rd episode of his monthly radio programme Mann Ki Baat on Sunday. The women, members of a Self Help Group, received training through the Integrated Tribal Development Agency (ITDA) and began producing millet-based biscuits under the brand Bhadradri Millet Magic. These biscuits, made from foxtail, little millet, kodo millet, finger millet, and jowar, are now being supplied from Hyderabad to London. PM Modi hailed their journey as an inspiring example of 'Women-Led Development,' highlighting how these women, once labourers working in fields, are now transforming lives through their entrepreneurial spirit. 'The mantra of 'Women Led Development' is ready to create a new future for India. You will also feel good when you come to know about the success of the women of Bhadrachalam in Telangana. These women once used to work as labourers in the fields. They used to work hard all day for their livelihoods,' the Prime Minister said.

SC junks Lalit Modi's plea seeking BCCI to pay ED penalty
The Supreme Court on Monday junked a plea filed by former cricket administrator Lalit Modi seeking an order to the BCCI to pay a penalty of ₹10.65 crore imposed on him by the ED for violating the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA). A Bench of Justices P. S. Narasimha and R. Mahadevan, however, said Mr. Modi will be entitled to avail civil remedies as available according to law. The Bombay High Court on December 19 last year had imposed a cost of ₹1 lakh on Mr. Modi while dismissing his petition seeking an order to the BCCI to pay a penalty of ₹10.65 crore imposed on him by the Enforcement Directorate for violating FEMA. The high court had said the petition was "frivolous and wholly misconceived" as the adjudication authority under FEMA has imposed the penalty on Mr. Modi. Mr. Modi, in his plea, said he was appointed as vice president of the Board of Control for Cricket in India, during which period he was also the chairman of the Indian Premier League governing body, a subcommittee of the BCCI. The plea claimed that the BCCI is supposed to indemnify him as per the bylaws. The HC Bench, however, referred to a Supreme Court judgment of 2005, which said the BCCI does not fall under the definition of a 'state' as defined under Article 12 of the Constitution. Despite clear orders from the apex court, Mr. Modi filed this petition in 2018, the HC Bench noted. "In matters of alleged indemnification of the petitioner [Modi] in the context of penalties imposed upon the petitioner by the ED, there is no question of discharge of any public function, and therefore, for this purpose, no writ could be issued to the BCCI," the HC had said. "In any event, the reliefs are wholly misconceived. This petition is frivolous, and accordingly, we dismiss this petition," the court had said and directed Mr. Modi to pay a sum of ₹1 lakh to the Tata Memorial Hospital within four weeks.

The Cost of 'Boasting': Trump And India's Post-Op Sindoor Dilemmas
Diplomacy usually progresses through carefully chosen words and strategic pauses. Decisions are made away from cameras, the language is calibrated, and every phrase is weighed before being made public. United States President Donald Trump shattered that quiet when he claimed that he had averted a war between India and Pakistan in May by threatening trade penalties. Subtlety gave way to showmanship. The applause line may suit a rally, but it forces New Delhi and Islamabad to recalibrate their strategic calculations. From Pahalgam To A Pause To recapitulate, the immediate backdrop was grim. On April 22, a terror attack near Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir reignited tensions. Between May 7 to 10, India and Pakistan carried out air strikes, and both armies were on high alert. A ceasefire followed on May 10, after four days of conflict. Trump promptly credited himself, claiming that his promise of American market access brought the nuclear neighbours back from the brink. This is a claim he has repeated on numerous occasions, whether true or not. This episode is also cited in a filing by the US government with the Court of International Trade to argue that presidential tariff powers advance national security. In this telling, trade rather than diplomacy was the key to de-escalation. Sometimes, it is not the conflict that changes everything. It is the story told about how it ended. This is one such case. Strategic Autonomy in Question For India, the claim cuts deep. Since independence, India has pursued strategic autonomy by engaging major powers while reserving final decisions for itself. Trump's assertions, whether correct or not, imply that India's military choices can be reshaped by economic threats, a suggestion that strikes at the heart of Indian foreign policy. Worse, it crosses a red line. India has always rejected third-party mediation on Kashmir. By describing India and Pakistan as equal parties in a bilateral dispute, Trump blurred the crucial difference between a democracy responding to cross-border terrorism and a military-led neighbour country accused of enabling it. Accepting Trump's narrative also risks encouraging future economic coercion and weakening India's hand in any balanced partnership. New Delhi's official position is unambiguous. Indian leaders say the ceasefire resulted from direct military channels with Islamabad, no outside mediation and no economic inducement. The Congress and other opposition parties have criticised the Modi government for diplomatic surrender. In the media, critics have argued that silence implies complicity, and this has dented India's global stature. This controversy adds to the challenges of achieving the ambitious goals of boosting bilateral trade to $500 million by 2030, clinching an 'early harvest' by autumn 2025, and working on a first-phase pact that tackles tariff irritants, set by Modi and Trump at their meeting on February 13 this year. Hedging Through Diversification India's partnership with the United States is multi-faceted. Still, any perception that this partnership compromises strategic autonomy is disconcerting. New Delhi is, therefore, hedging. It is accelerating trade talks with the European Union, enhancing defence cooperation with France, and re-examining long-standing ties with Russia. Even ties with Beijing are increasing. Diversification, once discussed in theory, is now visible in policy. Pakistan's Calculated Embrace Islamabad, in contrast, has amplified Trump's claim. After years of friction with Washington, the idea that charm and commerce can solve security dilemmas is appealing. Trump hosted Pakistan's army chief for lunch at the White House and spoke warmly of future cooperation, prompting Islamabad to suggest Trump's name for a Nobel Peace Prize nomination in recognition of his role in the ceasefire. Yet, that enthusiasm masks fragility. External praise is no substitute for structural reform at home. Without economic and governance improvements, Pakistan will remain dependent on outside validation. Trade As A Tactic Trump's boast highlights a broader trend. Market access is becoming a tool of influence in the United States' foreign policy. While trade and national security linkages are not new, if tariffs are deployed as emergency levers in geopolitical crises, and trade can be revoked or granted based on security behaviour, then market access becomes a weapon and not a tool of mutual prosperity. Partners will question whether any trade agreement will outlast differences in other areas. Trust lost in this way is hard to regain. Steadying the India-US Partnership The India-US relationship rests on issues beyond trade. It also includes converging interests in the Indo-Pacific and shared democratic values. To steady the partnership, the US will need to balance the 'Art of the Deal' with the art of traditional diplomacy, and quietly but emphatically confirm that the May 10 ceasefire was India's sovereign decision. For its part, notwithstanding that Trump's remarks make for harder bargaining and a more fraught negotiating environment, India needs to frame the initial trade understanding that it seeks to arrive at with the US before July 9 as a matter of national interest. It will have to beat scepticism to arrive at the first substantive India-US trade deal in decades, and get a waiver of the 'liberation day' tariffs. Only then can it address other ambitious bilateral trade goals. A Call For Quiet Diplomacy Moments like this call for restraint. Statesmanship is measured not by the volume of applause, but by the discipline that follows. What the moment demands is composure, not spectacle, assurance, not drama. Quiet diplomacy is needed more than ever, so that the India-United States partnership emerges stronger after the storm.
