The Indian press is going absolutely gaga over US Secretary of State Marco Rubio's arrival in Delhi, fawning over his "diplomacy." Have we completely lost our collective memory?

​It wasn't long ago that we were dealing with the horrific fallout of the Pahalgam massacre and the military brinkmanship of Operation Sindoor. Back then, the Trump administration openly sided with Pakistan, with top US officials going out of their way to praise Pakistani military leaders.

​But today? Today they need India for trade, so Rubio shamelessly stands on our soil and thanks India for a $20 Billion investment.

​The New Face of Economic Imperialism?

​Let's call it what it is: this is economic imperialism. It feels like the East India Company operating under a brand-new corporate name. Have we forgotten the sheer arrogance and verbal abuses hurled at us by the likes of Howard Lutnick, modern economic czars, and western commentators who view India purely as a transactional market?

​Now Rubio has the audacity to claim that US tariffs on Russian oil "were never about targeting India." If it wasn't about squeezing India’s strategic autonomy, what was it about? Venezuela? The imperialist capture of an elected government's sovereign right to secure its own energy needs?

​The Geopolitical Gaslighting

​Why are we rolling out the red carpet for these guys? They didn't just engage in verbal diarrhea; they actively targeted Indian strategic interests. All for what? A Trump dream of a Nobel Peace Prize?

​Look at the military backroom dynamics. When US Central Command's General Kurilla publicly lauds Pakistan as a "phenomenal partner" right after Indian blood is spilled, it raises massive red flags. Can we truly rule out that external actors weren't gaming our reactions during the Pahalgam crisis, planning exactly how to rope the US leadership into a scripted mediation role?

​The "Viceroy" Body Language

​Look at the optics and the patronizing body language. When these foreign military leaders land at our secure airbases, draping arms over the shoulders of our top generals—like Gen. Guillot's overly familiar posture with Gen. Singh—what is the message? Do they think they are the modern-day Viceroys inspecting a colony? It is deeply condescending.

​Time for a Consumer Response: Boycott Harley-Davidson

​As citizens, we cannot just sit back and watch this strategic gaslighting. We need to respond where it actually hurts: their export economy and corporate mascots.

​During Trump's first term, Harley-Davidson was made the poster child of his rants against India, crying about tariffs and claiming India wasn't accessible to US businesses. Let's make Harley-Davidson the symbol of our pushback.

​If they want to view India purely as a transactional market while undermining our security interests, let’s show them the power of the Indian consumer. It’s time to hit back economically. Boycott Harley.
