When will the establishment take these critical issues seriously? Canal irrigation has decreased from 16 lakh hectares in 1990-91 to about 11.5 lakh hectares today, yet endless discussions on water recharging and groundwater depletion continue.

Why aren't these issues getting prioritized given these alarming statistics?
Donald Trump returned from China celebrating “fantastic” trade deals and photo-op diplomacy with Xi Jinping, but with no clear breakthrough on Taiwan tensions, Iran negotiations, tariffs, or even the future of US arms sales to Taipei. While both Washington and Beijing are calling the visit a success, their versions of what was actually agreed upon appear noticeably different. So was this trip a real strategic breakthrough between two global rivals, or mostly a carefully staged business-and-headlines summit designed to avoid bigger conflicts for now ?
डोनल्ड ट्रंप चीन दौरे से लौटते हुए “शानदार” व्यापारिक समझौतों और शी जिनपिंग के साथ फोटो-ऑप कूटनीति का जश्न मनाते दिखाई दिए, लेकिन ताइवान तनाव, ईरान वार्ता, टैरिफ़, या ताइपेई को अमेरिकी हथियार बिक्री जैसे बड़े मुद्दों पर कोई स्पष्ट सफलता सामने नहीं आई। दिलचस्प बात यह भी रही कि वॉशिंगटन और बीजिंग दोनों इस यात्रा को सफल बता रहे हैं, जबकि दोनों पक्षों के दावों में काफी अंतर दिखाई देता है कि वास्तव में क्या सहमति बनी। ऐसे में क्या यह यात्रा वास्तव में दो वैश्विक प्रतिद्वंद्वियों के बीच कोई रणनीतिक सफलता थी, या फिर बड़े टकरावों को फिलहाल टालने के लिए तैयार किया गया एक सावधानीपूर्वक मंचित बिजनेस और हेडलाइन वाला शिखर सम्मेलन ?
After years of tariffs, chip wars, sanctions, and supply-chain tensions, Xi Jinping’s latest remarks calling US-China ties “the most important bilateral relationship in the world” have sparked fresh debate over whether Washington and Beijing are finally moving from confrontation toward stabilisation. With markets reacting positively to possible easing in trade tensions, AI chip restrictions, energy flows, and manufacturing supply chains, many now see the Trump-Xi talks as more than just symbolic diplomacy. But despite the softer tone, major conflicts over Taiwan, technology dominance, and global influence still remain unresolved. Is the world now witnessing the start of a genuine US-China reset, or just a temporary pause in a much larger geopolitical rivalry ?
