Trump’s 25% Auto Tariff: Opportunity Or Crisis For India?

U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision to impose a 25% tariff on vehicle imports has sent shockwaves through the global auto industry. While Indian automakers may see minimal impact, the country’s $6.8 billion auto components sector is bracing for potential disruptions. Tata Motors is the only major Indian player exporting vehicles to the U.S. through its Jaguar Land Rover operations in the U.K. However, the bigger concern is for Indian auto parts manufacturers, including Sona Comstar, Bharat Forge, Motherson Group, TVS Holdings, and JK Fenner, who supply critical components to the U.S. market. But amidst the uncertainty, there’s a silver lining. Since Trump’s tariffs also apply to countries with free trade agreements with the U.S., Indian exporters believe this could level the playing field and open up new business opportunities. Meanwhile, Indian stock markets remain volatile, but analysts expect better sales growth and earnings to drive a market rebound soon.

Justice Yashwant Varma Under Scrutiny: Forensic Experts Join SC Probe into Cash Scandal

The probe into the massive cash recovery at High Court Judge Yashwant Varma's residence is gaining momentum. Justice Varma is set to appear before the Supreme Court-appointed three-member inquiry panel to face questioning over the cash haul. Sources indicate that the investigation is being fast-tracked, with forensic experts roped in to examine the gathered evidence. Meanwhile, fresh revelations have put the spotlight on Justice Varma’s personal secretary, who allegedly instructed Delhi Police officials to leave the judge’s residence on the night of March 14 after a fire incident. Pressure is mounting as bar associations from Allahabad, Lucknow Bench, Karnataka, and Jabalpur have written to the Chief Justice of India, demanding criminal proceedings against Justice Varma. The controversy has also reached the political arena, with Congress MP Manish Tiwari calling for a response from the Law Minister. Amid the uproar, the scandal has reignited the debate over the National Judicial Appointments Commission (NJAC), though government sources suggest there are no immediate plans to revive the act that was previously struck down by the Supreme Court.

FM Nirmala Sitharaman In Rajya Sabha | Explains Timing Of Cuts In Customs Duties

The government’s decision to withdraw the 6% equalisation levy on digital ads has triggered a fresh wave of questions and criticism. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman insists the rollback is not linked to pressure from the U.S. or the ongoing global trade tensions. In her reply to the debate on Finance Bill 2025 in Rajya Sabha, she claimed the decision was part of a long-standing plan to ease compliance and align with evolving global tax norms. The withdrawal comes just as the U.S. is ramping up trade pressure and threatening tariffs on key Indian exports. Critics argue that this move looks more like a strategic retreat to avoid a clash with Washington, especially in light of past tensions during the Trump era. The FM said the cuts in import duties will make exports competitive as well by reducing the cost of inputs. She also made it clear the government will now only impose either the cess or the surcharge on imports, not both.

Marco Rubio: No U.S. Visas For Students Involved In Campus Chaos And Activism

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio revealed that over 300 student visas have been revoked to curb protests in American campuses. The move follows the arrest of Rumeysa Ozturk, a Turkish PhD student at Tufts University, whose detention sparked widespread outrage. Ozturk, a Fulbright Scholar, was taken by plainclothes officers in Boston and is now held in Louisiana. Rubio defended the crackdown, stating student visas are for education—not activism that disrupts universities. Comparing it to disrespecting a host's home, he emphasized the U.S. won’t tolerate foreign students “tearing up” campuses under the guise of education.

Chandra Arya Ousted? India Ties Under Fire | Canada’s Liberal Party Faces Backlash Before Elections

Is supporting India now a political liability in Canada? Liberal MP Chandra Arya, known for his vocal support of India and opposition to Khalistani extremism, is at the center of a growing political storm. With Canada’s intelligence agency CSIS reportedly monitoring him for his close ties to India, Arya’s recent trip to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi — without informing the government—has stirred major controversy. The Liberal Party has now blocked Arya from running for leadership, citing “inconsistent responses” about foreign interference. But Arya denies all allegations and claims he is being targeted for opposing the Khalistani movement in Canada. This isn’t the first time Arya made headlines. In December 2024, he refused to support a motion labelling the 1984 anti-Sikh riots as genocide—leading to a heated exchange with Sikh MP Sukh Dhaliwal. With Canada’s elections just weeks away, the Liberal Party is under pressure over foreign interference fears—not just from India, but from China, Pakistan, and Iran too. Is this political censorship? Or a case of national security gone too far?

Karnataka Milk Price Hike: â‚ą4/Litre Increase From April 1 | Price Rise Triggers Political Heat

Karnataka’s Congress-led government has approved yet another milk price hike, raising the cost by ₹4 per litre starting April 1, 2025. This decision follows sustained pressure from the Karnataka Milk Federation (KMF) and farmers seeking relief from rising production costs. While the KMF initially demanded a ₹5 hike, the state has settled on ₹4, a move welcomed by dairy unions — but one that puts additional strain on household budgets. This is the third hike in two years: ₹3 in August 2023, ₹2 in June 2024, and now ₹4 in 2025. But milk isn't the only essential getting costlier. Karnataka citizens are already reeling under a wave of hikes in stamp duty, fuel taxes, bus fares, alcohol prices, metro fares and power tariffs. The BJP has slammed the Siddaramaiah-led government, accusing it of failing the common man, while the state defends its move as necessary to support struggling farmers.

Waqf Bill 2024 Sparks Nationwide Opposition | Stalin, Lalu, Tejashwi Lead The Charge

The proposed Waqf Amendment Bill 2024 has triggered a political storm across the nation. After a series of electoral defeats, the INDI bloc has finally found common ground to rally against the BJP — united in their opposition to the controversial bill. In a powerful move, the Tamil Nadu Assembly passed a resolution against the bill, with Chief Minister MK Stalin calling it a “direct threat” to minority rights and Waqf Board powers. Even AIADMK, despite ongoing alliance talks with BJP, supported the resolution, while BJP MLAs staged a dramatic walkout. The ripple effect has reached Bihar too, where RJD leaders Lalu Prasad Yadav and Tejashwi Yadav joined the All India Muslim Personal Law Board's protest in Patna. Top Congress leaders have also echoed similar sentiments. The BJP, however, is holding its ground—calling the protests a form of political blackmail. Leaders like Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi and UP CM Yogi Adityanath have come out in strong defence of the bill, which aims to overhaul the management of Waqf properties.
