Good post on the difference between democracy and republic. For now, the republic/constitution is holding up in both India and the US.
But I also see a different kind of worrying sign wrt the constitution. Everyone talks of the constitution as if it is a holy book (when it suits them!), and oppose even the idea of amending it. Which is not at all the intent or spirit behind a constitution - it can and should be updated over time as needed. We need to be careful of the pendulum swinging too far in that direction too

Regarding Trump, Tariffs and India:
If, under Trump's threat, India reduces Tariffs on American imports, won't it be good for Indian public and companies and ultimately for India?
Thank you for anticipating the unintended with the American economy.
Whisky. (Whiskey is usually used for Bourbon). Notional loss was the reason for discrediting Manmohan Singh!
You make difference between democracy and republic crystal clear. Rule of law should be our focus.
