The US just launched "Pax Silica" a 9 nation alliance designed to control the future of AI and semiconductors. The exclusive roster includes the UAE, Singapore, and Japan.

But conspicuously absent? India.

In this episode Nelson John investigates the snub heard around the geopolitical world. Is this exclusion simply a lack of technical capability, or is it the fallout of a quiet diplomatic freeze between Washington and New Delhi that began on May 10th?

Why is the Indian Parliament fighting over a 150 year old song?

In today’s episode, I decode the explosive controversy surrounding the 150th anniversary of Vande Mataram. Prime Minister Modi has called the 1937 decision to "edit" the song a historic betrayal, while the Opposition defends it as a necessary compromise for unity.

But do you know what was actually cut?

I takes you back to 1937 to uncover the "missing stanzas", the verses that describe the Motherland as Goddess Durga and explains why they became the flashpoint for a battle between the Secular and the Sacred that continues to this day.

Can your boss legally demand you answer emails at midnight? If MP Supriya Sule has her way, the answer will soon be no. The Right to Disconnect Bill 2025 is making waves in Parliament and boardrooms alike proposing financial penalties for non-compliant employers, mandatory overtime pay, and the creation of an Employee Welfare Authority to protect workers' personal time. In this episode of Nelson John 360, we unpack every clause, examine the constitutional backing, compare it to global legislation from France to Australia, and ask the hard question: can India really learn to switch off? Whether you're an employee dreaming of boundary protected evenings or a business leader worried about operational impact, this episode is essential listening.

Putin lands in India. Modi breaks protocol. America imposes 50% tariffs. And India says: we bow to no one.

In this episode, I unpack the most consequential diplomatic visit of 2025 — the $70 billion India-Russia relationship, why Russian S-400 missiles saved Indian lives during the May 2025 Pakistan conflict, de-dollarization, Indians trapped in Russian military service, and what this visit signals about the collapse of American hegemony.

Whether you support this friendship or question it, you need to understand it. This is that episode.

The internet was on fire this week. Headlines screamed that the Government's new Sanchar Saathi app would be mandatory and undeletable on every phone in India—sparking fears of mass surveillance and "Digital Handcuffs."

But just as the panic peaked, the Government blinked. Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia has now clarified that the app is optional and can be deleted, marking a massive U-turn in the narrative.

In this episode of Nelson John 360, we go beyond the headlines to decode the chaos. We break down:

• The Panic: Why the initial order triggered a standoff with Apple and privacy activists.
• The Reality: A look at the app’s powerful "Kill Switch" (CEIR) and fraud-fighting tools (Chakshu).
• The Verdict: Now that the choice is yours—should you keep the app as a shield, or delete it to protect your privacy?
