Control! Rise of Kamala Harris or Rishi Sunak or Vivek Ramaswamy is not rise of India

You weekend read is here — dive in!

Dear Reader,

Kamala Harris... Rishi Sunak... Vivek Ramaswamy... the rise of Indian-origin leaders in the west often beings a mix of pride and anticipation in India.

The reality, however, is more complex. The impact on India's interests is often less favourable. Away from reality, this is a "Mirage of Influence" — our weekend edition's cover story.

Now take Kamala Harris for instance. Even being a part of the famed "samosa caucus" in the US Congress, her politics has not always aligned with India's interests.

Her niece Meena Harris' unwarranted and uninformed comments on India's farm laws led to a mini diplomatic row.

Hence, we call the Indian expectations, a mirage. Read more on this in our weekend magazine where we've curated the best from the week for you.
