Trump and MAGA
U.S. President Donald Trump follows an unorthodox way of administration. Many of his policies are totally impractical. He cannot alienate the entire world and run America. His tantrums against Canada, proposed annexation of Greenland, and tariff war with China and Europe are some of the policies which are unwarranted and unworkable. There appears to be brewing discontent among the very American people whom he says are to benefit from his policies. Mr. Trump should not be swayed by the advice of Elon Musk. Mr. Trump should remember that the Americans voted for him and not Mr. Musk.

Mr. Trump’s imposition of tariffs followed by quick deferment shows a hesitancy as well an attempt to shake up the system. His MAGA frenzy and vindictive attitudes need to soften. Though his attempts to end wars are laudable, his offensive actions will hurt American interests.

Three languages
Language is always an emotive issue and the Union government should understand the implications of forcing students in South India to study three languages under the National Education Policy. States should be given more freedom in formulating higher education policies. Even if three languages are to be studied, the condition that the third language should be an Indian language should be scrapped. The BJP State unit should convince its central leadership on the need to understand the feelings of people of Tamil Nadu.
