#Important 🧵

As the SCO Summit 2025 comes to an end, we analyse how India has transformed its position from an observer to an active player under the leadership of PM Modi.

The Indian Prime Minister met with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese Premier Xi, and held bilateral talks amid the imposition of a 50% tariff on US imports from India.

PM Modi visited China for the first time in 7 years.

He demonstrated India's dedication to Eurasian
cooperation at a time when trade disputes and disruptions to global supply networks threaten the foundation of international alliances.

PM Modi's participation in the SCO Summit 2025 at Tianjin, China is thus significant.

The Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) was founded in 2001.

For a large part of its existence, India was merely an 'observer.'

As expected, India's involvement with the SCO
was cautious and restricted.

The man in this picture is Peter Navarro. He is the senior counsellor for trade & manufacturing to Donald Trump.

For the past few days, he has been peddling lies to justify the 50% tariff imposition on US imports from India.

Here is a point-by-point rebuttal of his propaganda surrounding India's purchase of Russian oil.

(1/n)Image
Claim: Purchase of Russian oil is 'unfair trade' and 'financial lifeline' for Putin

Reality: There are no sanctions on Russian oil by the United States, G7 countries and the European Union (EU), unlike Iranian oil and Venezuelan oil.

Only a price cap was imposed on Russian oil and petroleum prices to prevent ‘war profiteering’ while not disrupting global supplies.

India thus did not violate any international norms through its purchase of Russian oil, as it adhered to the price cap.

Russia is both the second-largest crude oil producer and exporter in the world.

In the absence of India’s purchase of Russian oil, global crude oil prices could become $200 per barrel. This steep hike in fuel prices would affect all nations, not just India.

The Modi government’s decision helped keep global crude oil prices stable and balanced.

And this fact has been acknowledged by at least 3 US officials, including US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, Ambassador Eric Garcetti and diplomat Geoffrey Pyatt.

(2/n)Image
Claim: India uses US dollars to buy discounted Russian crude.

Reality: India purchases Russian crude oil from third countries, where transactions are carried out not in US dollars but other currencies like the United Arab Emirates Dirham (AED).

At the same time, the United States has never previously objected to the purchase of Russian oil by India, as it prevented crude oil prices from shooting up to $200 per barrel.

If the US wanted countries to stop purchasing Russian oil, it could have imposed sanctions on Russian crude oil like it did in cases of Venezuela and Iran.

Faizal Khan (aka Khan Sir) has recently made several comments in an attempt to downplay the vision and achievements of the Modi government.

Let us look closely at the truth behind some of the comments:

(1/n) Image
No need for 2047 ‘Viksit Bharat’ vision

In one of the podcasts, Khan Sir claimed that the vision to transform India into a developed nation (Vikshit Bharat) by 2047, i.e. 100 years of Independence, is a 'political gimmick'.

(2/n)
It is clearly difficult for individuals with a limited outlook and myopic vision to imagine the transformation of India into a developed nation.

Without a clear vision, no goal has ever been achieved.

PM Modi's innate ability to think about the country's future progress has ushered India into an era of economic development.

Our economy is now the 4th largest in the world. In the last 11 years, it has witnessed a 109% increase.

Faizal Khan could possibly have never imagined in 2014. And hence, he lacks the ability to envision India's development in the next 22 years.

Bangladesh is witnessing a series of 'blasphemy attacks' against the Hindu community under the Muhammad Yunus regime.

A Hindu boy named Utsab Mandal was almost lynched to death after he was accused of committing 'blasphemy' on Facebook by a Muslim mob.

The victim was assaulted in the presence of the police and severely injured. He booked under the Cyber Security Act and arrested after his discharge from the hospital.

No action was taken against those who attacked the Hindu boy.

Date of incident: 7th Sep 2024

Islamic extremists painted a target on a Hindu student named Kankan Biswas by claiming that he made ‘objectionable remarks’ about Islam.

Muslim students, studying at the Jessore University of Science and Technology, held a ‘protest march’ against Biswas and demanded his trial over alleged ‘blasphemy’.

They labelled the Hindu student as ‘Kulangar‘ (disgrace) and demanded his immediate expulsion from the varsity.

The TMC govt is leaving no stone unturned to turn the life of a 22-year-old college student, Sharmishta Panoli, into a ‘living hell.’

It is doing so to appease its Muslim vote bank, which has taken serious offence to the victim's video targeting Pakistan.

Mamata Banerjee, in an act of clear overreach, sent its police force 1500 km away to Gurgaon to arrest the young Hindu girl and bring her to Kolkata.

A local court rejected her bail petition and sent her to judicial custody for 2 long weeks.

According to the victim’s lawyer, Sharmishta is not doing well physically amid unhygienic conditions at the Alipore women correctional home.

In the meantime, the police force and the TMC govt turned a blind eye to the rape, death and ‘Sar Tan se Juda’ threats unleashed against Sharmishta Panoli online by Muslim social media users.

A few examples are included here -
