India is relevant to the world, not only in its size and girth but by its footprint and what matters to the world
Russia is under American sanctions, and none can trade freely with Russia except India which buys Russian oil on preferred terms and then re-export it to help an old patron earn dollars the indirect way. Two opposing military superpowers of the world claim India to be its ally. If this isn’t diplomatic coup, what is?
Under Modi it has crafted a religious-nationalist plank of its newer assertion and identity. Don’t balk. World over the trend is of the Right gaining eminence in social attitudes. Pakistan in this realm has its own set of challenges. Importantly, it seems to be working for Modi and India.
world baby
Saudi Arabia, Pakistan’s fraternal brother, announced an investment of over 72 billion USDs in India even as we beg her to invest the 7 billion promised for Pakistan. Pakistan’s iron-brother, China, pledged 10 million USD in the very latest donors conference in Geneva to help Pakistan out of its financial predicament as well as a looming bankruptcy, as did Pakistan’s favourite whipping boy, America. Somehow, both place equal premium on Pakistan’s prospects.
The world has taken note and regardless how much we play China vs India as a sorry paradigm for face-saving both are now above 100 billion USDs trade that binds them with a common aim to quickly move to 500 billion. Those who trade at that level never graduate beyond sticks and clubs, even if spiked, and whatever the savagery of their brawl. It is time to smell some real leaves.
One hates to admit, but Pakistan was politically outmanoeuvred by India on Kashmir by rescinding Article 370 of its Constitution which gave a special if not disputed status to the region. Her gradual mutation of the demographics in her favour continues unabated. And as the older generation of the defying Kashmiris bows out the young view issues far less weighed by emotive persuasion.

Hey mods,
You may have noticed that we have blocked the rdrama.net domain. It's pretty clear that this domain is being used to circumvent the sanctions we have placed on this community, namely disallowing both username pings and subreddit mentions due to the culture of harassment that pervades this subreddit.
These sanctions are not a joke, and they are incredibly serious. Your users, and by extension your modteam, are continually engaged in bad faith activity and harassment. This is something we have spoken to you about before many times, and /r/Drama has been given a lot more chances than many other subreddits. However, it seems to be becoming quite clear that no one here intends on following sitewide rules or doing anything to understand and combat the harassment that continues here regularly.
For now, all we have done is blocked the rdrama.net domain. The next time another mod takes steps to try and circumvent the sanctions we've placed, or does anything to continue the culture of harassment in this subreddit, we will begin removing moderators. We'll start with mods who have taken the actions, but we will also remove anyone else who seems culpable.
