This week on India Ascends: India puts pariah Pakistan on notice. Is it friendship or firepower and plain greed? Turkiye and Pakistan call it brotherhood…but the numbers, the weapons, and the war games tell a far darker story. From drones to submarines, from jihadi extremist ideology to misadventures and provocations…India is watching. Once upon a time, when America spoke, the world listened. When she extended a hand, allies took it... confident it wouldn't pull the rug out from under them. But now? The weather has changed. And when the rain comes, America no longer stands beside those it once called friends, or so it appears. At UC Berkeley, the birthplace of free speech, truth is now on life support. A resolution to celebrate Hindu Heritage Month was buried alive...by woke student leaders drunk on their own moral Kool-Aid. And leading the charge? Senator Isha Chandar... a cautionary tale of how virtue signaling can curdle into cultural erasure.
