In his commentary, Justice Katju argues that the suspension of foreign aid by President Donald Trump could serve as a catalyst for India’s self-reliance. He posits that reliance on foreign aid post-independence reflects a lack of self-respect and leads to economic dependency, often with exploitative conditions attached. Katju draws a parallel with China’s beneficial experience after the Soviet Union withdrew aid in 1960, suggesting that this could similarly spur India to harness its vast human and natural resources to become an industrial powerhouse. He advocates for India to rise independently on the global stage, free from the shackles of foreign aid.

Justice Katju’s Call for Embracing Akbar’s Suleh-e-kul in Today’s Political Climate
Suleh-e-kul, a doctrine of universal peace and tolerance, was promulgated by Emperor Akbar to unite India’s diverse populace. Emphasizing equal respect for all religions, this policy aimed to counteract the divisive tendencies inherent in a multi-ethnic, multi-religious society. By fostering a national identity that transcended religious boundaries, Akbar sought to build a cohesive empire where communal harmony was paramount. Today, Suleh-e-kul remains pertinent as India grapples with issues of secularism and communalism. Its principles could guide contemporary policies to ensure that India’s rich diversity is seen not as a challenge but as a strength, promoting unity and social cohesion.
