Indian Americans are confronted with two unappealing forms of identity politics. The path forward is to continue to assimilate, standing up for the values, of liberty as well as incorporation, that underpin the American story.

Had a productive meeting with Mr. Maninder Sidhu, Minister of International Trade, Canada, on advancing the India-Canada Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA). Both sides reaffirmed our leadership's commitment to expedite negotiations and conclude CEPA at the earliest, unlocking new opportunities across trade in goods, services, and investment, among others. Confident that an early conclusion of India-Canada CEPA will help realise our shared vision of significantly increasing bilateral trade and deepening the India-Canada economic partnership for mutual benefit. 🇮🇳🇨🇦 @MSidhuLiberal

My latest report “The Ghost of Population Past: How Population Control Persists in India” (with @AakankshaArora5 & Virat). India's fertility rate is well below the replacement rate and some parts of the country now have East Asian/European fertility levels. The number of live births in India peaked in 2001 at 29 million and has now fallen below 23 million. Population growth is now driven by longevity improvements but the pipeline is shrinking. Yet, population control policies remain embedded in government policies even in those states that want to incentivise more children. This is similar to what happened in China where population control measures remained in place for decades after it was obvious that it causing demographic damage. We would like clarify that we are not against family planning for reasons of health, child spacing or personal preference. The central argument of our paper is that population control is no longer relevant as an objective of state policy. Our family planning policies need to reflect the new demographic reality. eacpm.gov.in/wp-content/uplo…

Thank you so much for this opportunity, Dr @Kyunghoon_Kim_ I'm glad to have contributed to an important topic on India-Korea ties.
#KIEPGSP No. 5 Korea–India development cooperation is entering a new phase. After a decade of relatively limited ODA engagement, the focus is shifting from a traditional donor–recipient relationship toward co-development and co-investment. Shipbuilding, combining investment, skills, technology & capacity building, is emerging as a key test case for this new model. @AVIRAL96 @orfonline

People told me a Free Trade Agreement with India wasn’t possible. Well, today that deal passed its final vote in Parliament. It’s happening. National said we said we’d secure a Free Trade Agreement with India in our first term, and we’ve delivered. This landmark deal means more jobs, higher incomes for Kiwis. It means more New Zealand products being sold in India by opening the door to 1.4 billion Indian consumers. It’s one of the ways we will grow the economy to help you get ahead – fixing the basics and building the future.
