India hails the new trade deal with the United States as a major economic and diplomatic breakthrough, but questions are already emerging over its fine print. Economist Praveen Chakravarty says any trade agreement is welcome, yet warns that key details remain unclear. He flags India’s commitment to buy $500 billion worth of American goods in five years and asks what reciprocal guarantees the US has offered in return. With concerns over Russian oil imports, trade surplus, and transparency, the Congress leader argues the pact must be judged on facts, not headlines. Is this truly a win-win for India, or a deal with unanswered questions?
