NOT BREAKING INDIA IS SOROS'S SORROW

George Soros, a 94-year-old Hungarian-American tycoon, is accused of trying to destabilize the Indian economy and government, in cahoots with the Congress party. His actions have disrupted parliament and set a negative narrative, despite his efforts so far proving unsuccessful.

His time, it is the dragon that is slaying St. George in the clash between the BJP and the Congress. George Soros's buccaneering habits came to the fore in 1992 when he bet on the British pound, made a $1-billion profit, and brought the British economy to its knees. This time, the target of the 94-year-old Hungarian-American tycoon, investor, philanthropist and liberal political activist is Narendra Modi and his government. Saffron scuttlebutt is amplifying a propaganda storm by accusing Soros of doing the same to the Indian economy in cahoots with the Congress. Though his targeting has flopped so far, it has succeeded in setting the narrative and disrupting parliament for almost a week.
