WHY IS IT IMPORTANT FOR INDIA TO HAVE GOOD RELATIONS WITH SMALL NATIONS?

According to Kautilaya – If you don’t have good relations with the neighbors, your kingdom cannot sustain longer and in the long term your people will suffer heavily.

In the modern era, if you have good relations with neighbors, especially in international politics, you have a better and secure future. When I am talking about neighbors it means, I am talking about bigger and smaller nations. I live in India, and we have many neighbors, some are loyal to us, some are our rivals, some are our competitors and some are “two-faced”. We need to have good relations with each and every neighbor country. Today I will discuss how the present foreign strategy of India will strengthen our relations with our neighbors, who were ignored in the last decade. 

In the last two decades, the one thing India lacked was the “sweet relationships” with smaller nations around us. Relationship with nations like Bhutan, Seychelles, Mauritius, Nepal and Sri Lanka were not on the right track. We had affection for the USA, and we gave too much priority for USA but we had not much contact with these small nations. We gave importance for “super-powers” of the world and we unnoticed these nations. It compensated us heavily in defense and security sector, as their Government was not helping us and intruders as well as spies were entering our nation. Now, who are these spies? From which nation they belong? We had not much idea. A nation like China was making influence in these nations and was developing them as per their requirement. Always remember, China and India have a bitter history, and in Asia both nations are struggling to be a super power in this region. The race is for the spot no. 1, a supreme force in this province. India believes in competition, but China believes in monopoly. India believes that small nations (that I mentioned above) should rise above in every sector, but China wants its development more than any others. And that is why China was making good bonds with small nations in the Asian continent, so that it can manipulate them whenever it want and India was scarce this department. Every nation was becoming Pro-China & Anti-India, and believe me we were facing a typical situation as the USA was playing a twofold game with us. On one hand, they were helping our rivals, especially Pakistan and on the other hand they were showing themselves as our “friend”. We paid really heavily in terms of investment, security, foreign policy and else. The neighbor did not believe and invested in us and did not provide us the support which we were expecting from them. You can say we were in the tight path!

However, now we have a new leader named as Narendra Modi and a foreign minister Sushma Swaraj, who are working day and night on making “fruitful” relationship with our neighbors. Prime Minister Modi visited Nepal, Bhutan, Sri Lanka, Mauritius & Seychelles, and each and every nation got something from us, it might be financial help or technology. Now believe me our neighbors either its big shot like Japan or Russia or small nations like Bangladesh, Bhutan etc. are with us and helping us in many platforms. This is what we want, we want to have good relations even with China, we do not need war, and we want peace and prosperity in Asia and all over the world. This is what was missing from our nation and present Government is successful in achieving that. I want more and more success in foreign policy and better relations with our neighbor and other foreign nations. As foreign policy is the factor of raising investment & trust in one nation. That is why relations are important with small nations as well, so that we can avoid a war and increase our trade. We should weigh both developed & developing nations equally. Every nation should be our friend & accomplice.

5 REASONS WHY MIKE BLOOMBERG IS IN INDIA!

The last time Mike Bloomberg visited India was in a while before he was elected mayor of New York City in 2001. However, as the role of India on the global stage is rapidly growing, he is in India. Here's why:

CLIMATE RELATIONSHIP – Since the last nine month the Government of India (GOI) has become a leader in the global effort to confront climate change. The voice of India will be significant to the ongoing conversation, which is occurring in the U.N. Climate Change Conference in Paris at the end of this year. As the U.N. Secretary-General's Special representative for Cities and Climate Change, he is working to construct the support for the climate talks. Some part of this work involves helping national leaders understand how much development can be made if they empower their nation to take action -- an idea that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is strongly dedicated to.

SOLAR POWER – At the time of President Obama's visit to India last month, Prime Minister Modi reminded his promise to expand the India's clean energy production, and he has set a highly motivated goal. The Indian PM wants to boost the share of solar power in India's energy market from less than 1 percent to more than 10 percent by 2022. The PM wants to offer solar grids to the

During his visit, he will give a speech at a clean energy conference and meet with the industry and government leaders who are attending that conference. Such kind of interaction will not only provide electricity sources to the people but it will save hundreds of billions of the nation on electricity & power.

SMART CITIES - India is undergoing urbanization at an astonishing rate. By 2030, nearly 600 million Indians will live in cities. Prime Minister Modi has documented that these new, larger cities can be the anchor in sustainable development. Narendra Modi is supporting an idea to make "Smart Cities" throughout the India, where investments in modern infrastructure will provide a number of new jobs and gain new investment. There Mike will look at the conversation with Modi to discuss about the smart cities plan, which will boost economy.

ROAD SAFETY - Road crashes are a big problem in India, where more than 300,000 people are killed in traffic accidents every year. The foundation of Mike Bloomberg has been improving road safety in countries where the problem is extremely harsh, including India, by lessening drinking and driving, improving dangerous roads, amplification of laws of traffic, and promoting mass transit. During his tenure as mayor, road safety was an essential part of his public safety agenda -- and he had success in reducing the number of deaths on the road.

THE INDIAN YOUTH - India is the largest democracy and the second largest country in the world. It is also one of the youngest countries, near about half of its population is under the age of 30. This generation is approaching of age at a time when India's economy has recently become the fastest growing in the world, which will help lift millions of people out of the poverty. The future is looking bright for the nation, and as the owner of a global business, a philanthropist who is committed to improving lives around the planet, and an advocate for comprehensive immigration reform in Washington, I am confident that the U.S.-India relationship will continue to grow stronger.

When it comes to the important issues India will have a seat at the table. The impact of Mike Bloomberg will be bigger, and it will help entrepreneurs and business houses to make the next move. Hope this will be a great step in Indo-U.S. relations!

When, you are doing a business of a particular product. You should use hashtags in Instagram, which are a major part here. This helps you to search something using Instagram searches. A person needs to write “#XYZ” in the search bar and he can find his result. In addition, the tag should not be bigger; it should be limited, which can make a search result better. Include your business name in your posts to create hash tags. The created hash tags must be creative and unique, so that it can run a good marketing campaign for your product.
