Wall Street Journal's opinion piece says BJP is world's most important political party|Oneindia News

According to an opinion piece by the author Walter Russell Mead that has been published in the Wall Street Journal, the BJP is the world's most important party…and it may also be the least understood.

The Wall Street Journal piece read and I quote “"India's ruling Bharatiya Janata Party is, from the standpoint of American national interests, the most important foreign political party in the world.

It may also be the least understood”.

The BJP, after successive victories in 2014, and 2019 is also headed for a repeat victory in 2024, the publication stated, adding that, India is emerging both as a leading economic power and, along with Japan, as the linchpin of American strategy in the Indo-Pacific.

It added that for the forseeable future, the BJP will be calling shots in the country ..and without whose efforts American efforts to balance rising Chinese powers are likely to fall short.

The author..Russell Mead believes that BJP is poorly understood because it grew out of a political and cultural history unfamiliar to most non-Indians.

The BJP's electoral dominance reflects the success of a once obscure and marginal social movement of national renewal based on efforts by generations of social thinkers and activists to chart a distinctively 'Hindu path' to modernization.

The author further mentions and I quote again “"Like the Muslim Brotherhood, the BJP rejects many ideas and priorities of Western liberalism even as it embraces key features of modernity.

Like the Chinese Communist Party, the BJP hopes to lead a nation with more than a billion people to become a global superpower.

Like the Likud Party in Israel, the BJP combines a basically pro-market economic stance with populist rhetoric and traditionalist values, even as it channels the anger of those who've felt excluded and despised by a cosmopolitan, Western-focused cultural and political elite”.

Xi Mingze, Chinese President Xi Jinping’s only daughter, is back in headlines amid US-China tensions. The Harvard-educated Xi reportedly resides in Massachusetts under tight security.

U.S Cracks Down on Chinese Students With Communist Ties | Trump’s WAR on Foreign Students Spreads [Video]

U.S Cracks Down on Chinese Students With Communist Ties | Trump’s WAR on Foreign Students Spreads

The U.S. is ramping up its anti-China stance with new visa restrictions targeting Chinese students. Senator Marco Rubio revealed plans to revoke visas of students with alleged ties to the Chinese Communist Party or sensitive academic fields. China has condemned the move, accusing the U.S. of politicizing education and harming international cooperation. With Chinese students making up the second-largest international group in the U.S., these policies could disrupt academic institutions and worsen U.S.-China relations. The State Department has also paused new interviews and expanded social media screening for applicants. #USChinaTensions #StudentVisas #MarcoRubio #ChinaUSRelations #ChineseStudents #VisaBan #InternationalStudents #EducationPolicy #StudentCrackdown #HigherEd #GlobalEducation #USPolitics #BeijingResponse #MaoNing #ForeignPolicy #CCP #TechSecurity #VisaPolicy #WhiteHouse #USUniversities #TrumpLegacy #AcademicFreedom #DiplomaticRow #China #HongKong #RubioStatement #StudentScreening #SocialMediaCheck #ChinaUSConflict #InternationalRelations #GlobalStudents Also Read J-35 Fighter Jet May Head To Pakistan As India Accelerates AMCA Push :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/j-35-fighter-jet-may-head-to-pakistan-as-india-accelerates-amca-push-4165099.html?ref=DMDesc China, Pakistan Agree With Kabul To Expand CPEC To Afghanistan :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/china-pakistan-agree-with-kabul-to-expand-cpec-to-afghanistan-4159507.html?ref=DMDesc China’s Renaming Stunt in Arunachal Won’t Change Reality, Says India :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/china-s-renaming-stunt-in-arunachal-won-t-change-reality-says-india-4152779.html?ref=DMDesc

In a dramatic escalation, President Trump has stripped Harvard University of its SEVP status, effectively banning international student enrollment.

Russia Accuses Quad Nations Of ‘Forcing’ India Into Military Bloc, Urges Revival Of RIC Alliance

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has accused Quad nations — the US, Japan, and Australia — of dragging India into a de facto military alliance, despite Delhi’s stated focus on economic ties. Speaking at a Eurasian security forum, Lavrov warned of coordinated naval drills aimed at militarizing Quad beyond its original scope. He also pushed to revive the dormant Russia-India-China (RIC) trilateral platform, asserting that Western powers are deliberately stoking Indo-China tensions by reframing the region as "Indo-Pacific" with anti-China goals. His remarks signal Moscow’s shifting strategic focus in Asia. #RussiaQuad #IndiaQuad #LavrovStatement #RICAlliance #IndiaChina #IndoPacific #RussiaIndiaChina #Geopolitics #QuadMilitary #MoscowDiplomacy #GlobalShifts #AsiaPacific #QuadTensions #RICRevival #LavrovWarning #GalwanClash #IndiaChinaBorder #WesternStrategies #MilitaryDrills #RussiaIndiaRelations Also Read India Rebukes Pakistan Over Indus Waters Treaty Remarks At UN Forum: 'Appalled' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/india-rebukes-pakistan-over-indus-waters-treaty-remarks-at-un-forum-appalled-4169437.html?ref=DMDesc Russia: Bridge Collapse Derails Train, At Least 7 Confirmed Dead :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/russia-bridge-collapse-derails-train-at-least-7-confirmed-dead-4169275.html?ref=DMDesc Adani Ports taps its Largest Ever Domestic bond - 5,000 crore 15-year NCD :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/apsez-secures-inr-5000-crore-via-non-convertible-debentures-012-4168661.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.102~
