A major analysis has emerged amid US President Donald Trump’s global activism and aggressive claims. Political affairs expert Ian Bremmer says that China’s President Xi Jinping and India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi are in many ways more powerful and in a better position than Trump.

This comment has come at a time when Trump is in the headlines for his claims of America’s profits through tariffs, stopping wars and the Nobel Peace Prize.

Ian Bremner said this
Speaking to India Today, Ian Bremmer said that even though America is the most powerful country in the world, it does not mean that its President is the most powerful leader. He said in clear words, ‘President Trump is not the most powerful leader. Xi is Jinping. According to Bremer, the biggest reason for this is that Xi Jinping does not have to face midterm elections nor does he face institutional challenges like an independent judiciary. He said that Trump may be out of office within three years, while Xi Jinping is in a position to remain in power for a long time.

Media headlines versus real power
Bremmer said that when Trump is focusing on the media and headlines, Xi Jinping is in a much stronger position than him. He also included the name of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in this list. According to Bremer, “Modi is also in a better position than Trump.”

Modi’s long tenure becomes strength
Bremmer said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s long and continuous tenure gives him the opportunity to take far-reaching policy decisions and see their long-term benefits. He said that this is not possible in the case of Trump or many European leaders, because they have to face constant electoral pressure and political instability.

He said, “As a leader, Modi’s long stay in power and continuity in policies make him more effective than many European leaders. This allows him to put forward his views strongly and can better face international pressures.” According to Bremer, examples of this have also been seen in recent years.

American initiative is not getting widespread support
Donald Trump on Thursday formally unveiled his proposed ‘peace board’ aimed at leading efforts to maintain the ceasefire between Hamas and Israel. However, many of America’s top allies have decided to stay away from this initiative. At present, Russia has said that it will consider this board, while Britain has flatly refused to join it. Apart from this, after France’s refusal, Norway and Sweden have also indicated that they will not be a part of this board.

This month of December was one of fear and silence for Hindus in the neighboring country Bangladesh. The brutal killing of many Hindus in just 10 days has raised concerns about regional security and human rights. Families locked in their homes, houses destroyed by fire and incidents of murder even among security forces are raising the question whether the safety of minorities is being ensured in the neighboring country and what steps can the Indian government take to stop it. Let us understand.

How many innocents were killed in 10 days?

This series of attacks on minority Hindus in Bangladesh became most intense in December. First, 27-year-old Dipu Chandra Das was beaten to death in Mymensingh district and later burnt. Authorities later said the blasphemy charge was false. A week later, 29-year-old Amrit Mandal was beaten to death by a mob in Pangsha of Rajbari district. The third incident took place in the same Mymensingh district, where 40-year-old Bajendra Biswas was shot by his Muslim colleague Noman Mian.

Dipu Chandra Das – False allegation took his life

Dipu Chandra Das worked in a garment factory in Bhaluka. Rumors were spread against him that he made objectionable remarks. At around 9 pm, a crowd of hundreds of people caught him and beat him brutally. After his death the mob tied him to a tree and burnt him. This incident is being considered the most gruesome example of increasing violence against Hindus in Bangladesh.

Amrit Mandal- Mob lynched

A week after Deepu’s murder, Amrit Mandal was murdered in Pangsha of Rajbari district. At night, some people along with him went to Shahidul’s house, then the local people raised the alarm of dacoit-robber and the mob caught hold of Amrit and started beating him. Amrit died in the hospital after being badly injured by kicks, punches and sticks.

Bajendra Biswas – No one is safe even in security forces

Bajendra Biswas, 40, who was a member of the Ansar force, was shot dead by his Muslim companion Noman Mian in Bhaluka, Mymensingh district. Biswas, posted at Sultana Sweaters Factory, became the target while on duty. His own companion shot him in the thigh and Biswas died. This incident shows that now the security personnel engaged in protecting the minorities are also in danger.

Attacks on Hindu families and burning of houses

Apart from the killings, houses of 5-6 Hindu families were set on fire in Pirojpur district. At night, when the families were sleeping, the miscreants also locked the doors from outside. The families managed to escape with their lives. Such incidents show that minority communities in Bangladesh are under constant threat.

Indian Government’s intervention and possible steps

Experts believe that the Indian government should exert diplomatic pressure to ensure the safety of minorities in Bangladesh. This could include high-level talks, joint security monitoring, and applying pressure through human rights groups. Additionally, a message can also be sent by taking temporary steps on visa policy, trade and cultural cooperation for Bangladesh in India.
