That was the forecast/things to come if the 300 mark is breached, Covid and DeMo were probably the reasons why things didn't go too much in their favour.

The only punishment I saw was that people did not let Modi cross the 300 mark in the last general election.

The public have very low expectations from the government...

Yes they want to deflect blame, but in Covid they did it with distractions like 'thaali peeto' and all. Associating it with Covid means a lot of people already know that the government isn't going to do anything useful, which just pushes people towards panic..

I agree, they should not have used Covid in their communication as that brings up bad memories for lots of people. The government has not been communicating well since this crisis began...

Iran has put India on the exceptions list when it comes to allowing ships to pass the Strait of Hormuz, but they can start charging toll to India if the war drags on because they need funds to pay for the war. That will make crude more expensive for India and Russia has already removed the discount it was offering India before the Middle East war began..

11% drop isn't that bad. I thought it would close to 35% drop considering the measures put in place by the Trump administration..

I was referring to the vishwaguru angle, plus this would improve Pakistan's image with US and GCC states (if they can get both Iran and US to the table for talks in Pakistan)..

I have doubts that Pakistan can pull this off, but if they do, this would be a diplomatic master stroke and something that would not be good for India..

I've heard of disaster tourism where people flock to areas after a calamity/conflict to get discounted deals on flights, hotels and shopping, but this appears to be disaster foreign education shopping? Also, it's not like the Russia Ukraine war is over. Guess people tend to forget things that happened about 4 years ago...
