    Feb 5 2026
    US President Donald Trump announced the India–US trade deal on Truth Social, stating that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had agreed to stop buying Russian oil and instead purchase significantly more oil from the United States and, potentially, Venezuela. Announcing a reduction in tariffs on Indian goods, Trump said, “Made in India products will now have a reduced tariff of 18%,” and expressed his gratitude over what he called “this wonderful announcement.” In return, Trump said India would reduce its tariffs on American products to 0%. He added that India would “BUY AMERICAN” at a much higher level, including purchases worth over $500 billion in U.S. energy, technology, agricultural, coal, and several other products. In this episode of Editorial, HW News’ Managing Editor Mr. Sujit Nair discusses the Indo–US trade deal and its possible consequences for India if the Modi government agrees to open the Indian market to American agricultural products.

    Editorial With Sujit Nair | Why No Padma Award For Bal Thackeray? | Shibu Soren | VS Achuthanandan
    Jan 28 2026
    In this episode of 'Editorial', HW News’ Managing Editor Mr. Sujit Nair discusses the possible reasons as to why the Shiv Sena leader Balasaheb Thackeray was not conferred a Padma award while other leaders such as Shibu Soren from Jharkhand and V.S. Achuthanandan from Kerala were selected. Mr. Nair highlights that Balasaheb Thackeray despite belonging to the same Hindutva ideology that the BJP follows, was not considered for a Padma award, whereas leaders from a different ideological spectrum were honored. He argues that the current Modi government is using civilian awards for political purposes. According to him, a possible reason for not selecting Balasaheb Thackeray for a Padma award is that it could strengthen the political prospects of the Thackeray brothers, Uddhav Thackeray and Raj Thackeray, in Maharashtra who are political opponents of the BJP.

    Editorial With Sujit Nair | 'Tackling Pollution Must Become A Top National Priority': Gita Gopinath
    Jan 24 2026
    Pollution is emerging as one of India’s biggest economic threats even greater than trade tariffs and global protectionism, according to Gita Gopinath, Harvard University professor and former IMF Chief Economist, speaking at the World Economic Forum (WEF). At Davos, Gopinath warned that environmental degradation, air pollution, and climate risks pose a serious macroeconomic challenge for India impacting productivity, public health, and long-term growth more than external trade barriers. As India positions itself as a global manufacturing and investment hub, the economic cost of pollution could undermine growth, raise healthcare spending, and reduce workforce efficiency. In this episode of 'Editorial', HW News' Managing Editor Mr. Sujit Nair discusses how Gita Gopinath faced scathing criticism on social media for voicing her opinion regarding the massive pollution levels in India.
