It was during the grea Hindu gathering known as the KUMBH in Prayagraj, I was accompanying the family members of an American Physicist with a Nobel in Physics. A devout Quaker with outstanding knowledge of Hindu scriptures happens to be my mentor, While travelling to New Delhi we overheard conversation among a group of passengers belonging to a neighbouring country. These conversation was heard while passing over Iran.
One of the passangers was lamenting that the administration of Donald Trump has fallen into the hands of communal minded Hindus. At that time Ms Tulsi Gabard was being heard in the Senate for confirmation as the Director of American Intelligence. Mrs Gabbard is known for her deep knowledge of Hindu scriptures, At the time of hearing she swore by placing her hand on the Geeta.
It is mentioned that the former American Secretary of State Tony Blinken was an anti Indian while Marco Rubio is an anti Pakisan and certainly not anti Indian.
style="text-align: justify;">At the Kumbh there were discussions on physics, politics and the economic The journey of these great brains went unpublished and after witnessing these scientists having holy dip was impressive and surprising. I am writing a blog titled as IN SEARCH OF A DEITY, this is likely to be completed in time and may be presented a copy to my mentor and another copy to Carlo Rovelli a famous French physicist who is telling scientists that the cosmic dance of Lord Shiva repesent the flows of time but my own mentor thinks that the holy verses of Rigveda are flows of time. While a famous physicist who has become a pastor in South Africa wants to erase the concept of time to make the Deity more powerful. This scholar is also well versed in the Upnishads.
Here we are concerned with politics. In this politics by other means Ms Tulsi Gabbard may be caosidered a major participants.
Leader of opposition in India has only one agenda. He wants to know the relations between Adani and Modi, Several incompetent politicians who are supporters of the leader of opposition raised this strange question in the parliament and created rukus when theey failed to get an answer. These India lawmakers never bothered to know the relations between Trump and Elon Musk and Trump's close relations with other business magnets.
Now readers may be curious to know the role of Ms Gabbard in the murky Indian politics. Ms Tulsi Gabbard was confirmed with convincing majority in the American Senate and now she is the head of powerful Intelligence Agency of the USA.
USA INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY is the powerful agency which is responsible for shaping and predicating the status of the mighty nation.American greatness has been a great idea but it has failed to build upon it and it is said that the end of America' unquestioned hegemony has already began. But what is the reality?.

The global economy is now multipolar and so too is global politics The US confronts autonomous allies as well as new political ideologies and actors unimagined at the high point of the American history. Advanced industrial society is obsessed with the phenomenon of decline. Both the US under Trump and the Europe recurrently justify necessity of political and institutional innovations and activitism as a response to the threat of decline. America under Trump present themselves as fighting declinism.
The reality of declinismis however may be found in the official published views of th United States Intelligence Community. Thefirst report known as the GLOBAL TREND( Part 1) was published in 2008 this report entitled GLOBAL TREND 2025 made this predictions " The US will remain the single most powerful country but will be less dominant The report was further revised in 2012. It declares " No country whether the US, China or any other big countries will be a hegemonic power, The empowerment of individuals and diffusion of power among states and from states to informal networks will have a dramatic impact, Largely reversing the historic rise of the US since WW1.
The reports focuss on the growth of powerful and internationallly active non state actors like business, religious organisations and above all criminal networks.
And Ms Tulsi Gabbard as the new head of this intelligence community has not altered the findings of the report.
America's image in India is at a favourable 70% and as the latest survey Pew Research Centre would indicate. It is a relationship that resonates in the popular mind and for an inspirational middle class, the American dreams attracts and beckons in myriad way.
RAISINA DIALOGUE.
POLITICS BY OTHER MEANS. Mrs Gabbad is the right person to reveal the relations between Adani and Modi. I was surprised to see that none of the stalwarts who questioned Adanis'friendship with Modi dared to meet Ms Gabbard. News channels supporting the Dynasty maintained studied silence. In fact no body in India even tried to draw the attention of Ms Gabbard. Most probably Narendra Modi will be lost in the crowd following the general election of 2029 and if somehow(unlikely) the dynasty has a friendly government than the dynasty may need the support of Adani for survival. If anti Modi forces are convinced that there is unholy nexus between Modi and a few Indian business magnets than the new FBI chie Kashyap Vinod Patel and the new Chief of American Intelligence community Ms Gabbard shall remove the cloud. But the fact of the matter is that a few disgruntled politicians who are misguiding members of the dynasty are playing dirty games.
FINAL THOUGHT.
Raisina dialogue is important in the sense that for the first time a Chief of American Intelligence was participating in the debat. America;s role in a new political role has been elaborated in the report GLOBAL TREND (1&2) and as stated earlier Ms Gabbard has neither added nr expanded the report. Trump is influenced by this findings and for this reasons he is abusing political heads of the world . But it appears that Modi;s baitors have no courage to ask specific question to a trusted lieutenant of Trump.
