India is not completely insulated from these developments. Yet, compared to a decade ago, the country is far better equipped with larger reserves, expanded refining capacity, and stronger domestic exploration efforts.

In 1937, Jawaharlal Nehru agreed to cut down the national song “Vande Mataram” to appease sections of the Muslim community.

Lines invoking Durga, temples, and the spirit of Bharat Mata were removed, hoping it would make Muslims accept it.
