    1. >> White House Trade Adviser PeterNavarro, while talking about 50% tariff on imports from India, has said in an interview to Fox News on Monday (September 1, 2025), “Brahmins profiteering at the expense of the Indian people. We need that to stop.”

      >> „And on top of that, by the way, 25% or 50% is because India is the Maharaja of tariffs. They have the highest tariffs in the world. They won’t let us sell to them, so who gets hurt, workers in America, taxpayers in America… Ukrainians in cities are getting killed by Russian drones,“ the White House Trade Adviser said.

      Ambani, Adani, and state run companies….be like….. since when we are Bramhins ??

    5. Superficial level of understanding of India on full display by these people. Someone needs to tell these guys to shut-up.

    6. This is a caste faultline in India the British and Americans exploited for two hundred years.

      Thanks to Donald Epstein Files Trump and his incompetent advisors — this playbook is out in the open for the average Indian to see.

      Diminishing returns.

      Classic divide and rule. The audacity that some whites have that they can still get away with it in this day and age is astounding, goes to show their mentality if anything.

      Statements like these are feeders to the dumb Opposition lead by Rahul Gandhi who will parrot the same statements in a pathetic attempt to increase his vote bank.

      But the reality is that Brahmins aren’t business owners, hell they aren’t even rich when compared to other castes in India. Brahmins were historically known be more academically proficient, priests in temples, teachers etc. Brahmins have never been the land owning, business or trade class.

      Yep casteism is bad, but it still does exist but not on the lines of what most westerners think. There is a little societal divide based on wealth which again attributes to historic caste system, land owning casts are definitely well of now compared to those that weren’t. But it’s no where as rigid as it was previously.

      Use all racist rhetoric against Indian people and then ask why Indians on internet are not pro-West

      Brahmins are priestly class not even trading caste lol. 

      Atleast if they want to bring sensitive issues of other countries they should study it first. 

    10. I think somebody finally looked at a book and stumbled upon a paragraph on colonial era of India.

      What a loser! What does Caste have to do with India buying Russian oil?

      Neither Modi nor the Ambanis who buy and refine the oil are Brahmins. Neither are most of Indian Businessmen.

      Even Pakistan and China don’t play dirty politics like this to India.
      It just shows how standards of american politicians have gone.

    13. This is what it looks like when you’re ineffective governing your country, you try start shit elsewhere to make your work look better

    14. The only „Brahmin“ in top Indian politics is Rahul Gandhi since he is a descendant of Nehru, who was a kashmiri brahmin. But if Rahul Gandhi’s paternal lineage is looked he is a Parsi. His grandfather was a Parsi Zoroastrian.

      Adani is Jain.

      Ambani is baniya.

      Modi is OBC.

      To the uninformed about Brahmins in the Indian context. Brahmins aren’t people from the business community. In fact, they’re known to take on priestly duties.

      On a side note, everything I’ve witnessed from the US side over the last few months tells me that this administration is not just intellectually dense, but has managed to crash their superpower status in under 9 months. Kudos to the American people for documenting the fall of a super power in the age of social media. Books will be written, paeans will be sung, and you can be rest assured, there’s no coming back from this. Enjoy the next decade or so of slow decay.

    16. I guess he also believes the shogun, daimyo and samurais dominate japanese market

      Typical white American who thinks he understands India’s complex caste system. For god sake even Indians from different parts of the country can’t understand each other’s caste system.

      Idiot thinks upper caste = Brahmins.

    18. This is going to be viewed extremely poorly in India. It’s basically trying to divide us on caste lines and get people really angry. What the hell are they trying to do?

    19. What a shame. Anti Brahmin propaganda is popular in India to divide people based on the caste system. In reality, Brahmin community has contributed a lot to society. In present day, their population is depleting like anything and their influence is very less compared to the so called low caste members of the society. They were just targeted. So that their existence will be gone and there by the strict practice of sanathan dharma is vanished. Now this guy is mindlessly giving statements. What a shame.

      At this point it is just funny and this statement basically emboldens people behind modi. Idk what is his goal here.

    21. Ok-Finding-6407 on

      India already got an experience in divide & conquer from the British, so they’re not about to fall for that low tier old trick again lol

    22. Top tier ragebait from this admin. But seriously, U just do not get what is the motive here. The statements never seem coherent or sensible.

    23. Since when does anyone in the WH care about rich people profiting off of the poor?

    24. Affectionate_Oil6551 on

      He went a little off script, should have blamed crony capitalists of India. Many Indians would have bought it and Rahul Gandhi would have amplified it.

    25. tati_mera_naam on

      Democrats should stay away from WH for next 4 terms. Whoever, takes this mess is going to bendover for all the countries to even consider trusting USA in future.

      My expectation was low but holyshit

    26. Why are Rahul Gandhi (apparently the Leader of Opposition) and his political party and Peter Navarro parroting the same ideological garbage?
