Stop Navarro From Damaging India-U.S. Relations Irreparably
The Sunday Guardian
|September 07, 2025
When President Trump has advisers like Peter Navarro, he needs no enemies.
During the Biden Presidency too, India was accused of being on the wrong side of history for not condemning the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
When asked by a journalist if India's purchase of discounted Russian oil would constitute a violation of the US sanction, White House spokesperson Jen Psaki had replied in the negative (March 17, 2022). The former US ambassador to India, Eric Garcetti told TV channels last month that Indian import of Russian oil didn't violate the US sanctions, it rather helped stabilize international prices.
This position has been repeatedly stressed by the EAM Jaishankar, PNG Minister Hardeep Puri and the Chairman of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on External Affairs, Shashi Tharoor. They have also shown a mirror to the US and the EU that after the imposition of the US sanctions on Russia, EU's imports from Russia stood far higher than the value of Indian import of Russian oil. Strangely, the US was herself buying uranium, fertilizers and other items from Russia. And now the unthinkable: 55% of diesel imported by Ukraine came from India; obviously from the Russian oil imports by India. So, shouldn't 25% penal duty imposed on India for importing Russian oil also be levied on China, the EU, Ukraine and the US? Evidently, the toxic utterances of Navarro are utterly illogical.
How does he dare to mount such a frontal personal attack on the Indian Prime Minister by calling the Ukraine conflict as "Modi's war"? No American President or European leader has, in the last 25 years, ever attacked any Indian Prime Minister by name. Is he speaking out of his hat? Or is he merely HMV?

EXTERMINATE MOSQUITOES TO ERADICATE EIGHT DEADLY DISEASES
Till now, Iceland, with a harsh, unique climate and geographical isolation, was the only country in the world that was completely free of mosquitoes. Three mosquitoes were found in the Kjos valley in October 2025. Scientists blamed rising temperatures due to climate change and increased travel for these arrivals. Mosquitoes are vectors for deadly diseases like malaria, dengue, chikungunya, Japanese encephalitis, Zika, yellow fever, West Nile virus fever, and filariasis. In 2023, there were an estimated 263 million malaria cases and 597,000 deaths globally. World Malaria Day on 25 April and National Dengue Day on May 16th in India highlight the need for public education, continued investment, and sustained political commitment for prevention and control measures, especially before the monsoon season. ‘Chikungunya' means \"to become contorted,\" (due to severe joint pains) in the Kimakonde language in Tanzania and Mozambique.

WELFARE DELIVERY, MODI FACTOR PROPELLING NDA IN BIHAR POLLS
The Bihar elections opened with opposition parties confident that Nitish Kumar's long incumbency and public fatigue courtesy his 20 years of rule would translate into a difficult contest for the NDA. In the early phase of campaigning, this seemed plausible. The same feeling was also shared by top National Democratic Alliance leaders while interacting with journalists privately, including by two senior BJP Union Ministers, who spoke to this correspondent before and after the poll schedule was announced.
