GUYANESE LIFESTYLE - TUSLI DAS RAMCHARITMANAS "HANUMAN POOJA" IN NEW YORK CITY- Video/Text by Nala Singham

In the Indo-Gangetic plains of medieval India, Tulisi Das wrote the Hindi version of the Ramayana in the 15th Century, translating the original version written in Sanskrit by Valmiki in 600 BC (Before Christ).
Unlike the classical Ramayana by Valmiki, which is considered more literary, Tulsidas's work is heavily devotional, making it suitable for recitation and singing. This approach makes the story of Ram accessible to a wider audience, contributing to its widespread popularity, and presents philosophical and moral teachings within the story.

With the advent of the British in the Sub-continent, the creation of British India led to the massive transport of labor from this part of the world to the British Colonies in the West Indies, including Guyana and Suriname in South America.
The descendants, 5th and 6th generation of the ancestors who arrived in Guyana more than 186 years ago from British India, have kept this tradition of Ramcharitimas alive with great passion.

With the advent of Indo-Guyanese migration to North America, you can savor the intense, heart-wrenching devotional renderings of the "Hanuman Pooja" (prayer recital) right here in New York City, with an umbilical cord still connected to ancient India, dating back 2500 years.

"As a first Indian American elected to the Legislative body,
it is with extraordinary pride that I like to introduce an extraordinary group of Indian Americans, proud members of the Pioneer Club of Kerala, one of the earliest and most impactful Malayali organizations in our state. The Pioneer Club represents a trail blazing community of Malaylees.
The people of Kerala, a beautiful and vibrant state on the south western coast of India known for lush greenery, back water, high literacy, and deep traditions of pluralism, whether Christian, Hindu or anything, Malaylaees are united by a rich cultural heritage, strong spirit of p***c service, education, and community leadership. Kerala is often called 'Gods own country' and I would like to recognize each distinguished leader by name. Let us all give them a warm welcome and thank them for their service, their heritage and contribution to our great State".

Nri Federation team is now looking to support and assist Indian Manufacturers and Exporters to benefit from Trump Tarrif war with China.
The Trump administration’s recent tariff policies present both challenges and opportunities for India. In April 2025, President Trump announced a 145% tariff on imports from china that impose higher tariffs on U.S. goods , leaving India and other Asian countries with a minimal tarriff of 10% for 90 Days.

Potential Benefits:
• Trade Diversion: As U.S. companies seek alternatives to Chinese manufacturing amid trade tensions, India could attract increased manufacturing and export opportunities. The government’s Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) schemes aim to bolster manufacturing sectors like electronics, textiles, and pharmaceuticals. 
• Domestic Industry Growth: Facing heightened competition from global firms due to potential tariff-induced market shifts, Indian companies may be compelled to enhance quality and efficiency, fostering overall industrial growth.
Potential Challenges:
• Export Competitiveness: The 145% tariff on China could create Trade Opportunities to Indian exporters to promote their products in the U.S. market, potentially boosting export revenues and generating more employment in various cost effective sectors.

In summary, while the Trump administration’s tariff policies could open avenues for India to expand its manufacturing base and exports, they also pose risks to export competitiveness and may strain trade relations. Proactive measures, including policy reforms and enhanced trade negotiations, will be crucial for India to navigate this complex trade landscape effectively.
India under Modi Government is promoting Made in india and skilled labor, now it’s time to utilize this time being opportunities and grab USA orders.
USA is still the world’s biggest economy enjoying 26.92% share.
Globally, the U.S. accounts for a substantial portion of total consumer spending. In 2022, global consumer expenditure reached $55.97 trillion . Given that the U.S. contributed over $18.5 trillion to this total, it represented more than 33% of worldwide consumer spending.
China and India being the worlds most populous Nations have advantage of cheap labor and manufacturing skills. As China is now amongst most tariff nation is Trump list, India has the highest advantage to earn a portion of USA imports and attract USA investors to tie up with Indian manufacturers.
Stock markets across the world fluctuated and saw roller coaster ride in less than 3 weeks and history was made on Wall Street.
Now that China has been set aside by Trump Admin and China starts selling USA treasury bonds to push Trump to bow down.
I believe China has emerge due to last 2 decades of USA support and as USA withdraw support China manufacturing will be under crises very soon. China has to compromise with USA in coming week and Trump also knows China is crucial for USA imports.
My expectations that by April end all should be close to normal and with minimal tarrif USA will regain its value and stature in International Politics .
World leader has to show its tantrums from time to time and this is what we all seeing now.
Lets hope for the best
