Amid Trump’s Tariffs & H-1B Visa Woes, Is Modi’s Swadeshi Pushback Only a Rhetorical Shield? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=My74JIpOFaQ | Barkha
Mojo Story Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s renewed push for swadeshi comes as Washington stuns the world with a steep $100,000 H-1B visa fee. While the White House clarified this is a one-time payment for new applicants, the announcement sparked panic among Indian professionals, students, and families in the U.S.
The fallout is already visible: confusion, cancelled flights, and deep uncertainty for thousands of Indians working in America’s tech and business sectors. As Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal heads to the States for critical trade talks and Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar meets U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio at the UN General Assembly in New York, the big question is clear: Will this H-1B visa crisis push India to reset its economic strategy, strengthen self-reliance, and negotiate tougher on the global stage?

Sanjeev Sanyal: Judiciary now India’s Biggest Roadblock to Viksit Bharat https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOiUGzJL_-Q Sep 22, 2025
In his speech at Nyaya Nirmaan 2025, Sanjeev Sanyal, member of the Prime Minister’s Economic Advisory Council, makes bold claims about India’s legal system — calling it the single biggest hurdle in the way of Viksit Bharat. He critiques long court-vacations, unnecessary procedural delays like pre-litigation mediation, colonial legal language (“my lord”, “prayer”) and outdated norms in the judiciary.
hear directly what he proposes — reforms, modernisation, and who needs to step up.
What needs to change: Courts, Bar, Language Why this matters:
• India aims to become a developed economy (Viksit Bharat) by 2047 — but judicial inefficiencies are dragging progress.
• Delays in contract enforcement, long court vacations, and archaic practices cost time, money and trust.
• Sanyal argues reforms can’t wait — legal culture, language, procedures, everything needs overhaul.
