Modi’s strong support for Israel – and refusal to condemn the Israel-U.S. strikes on Iran, a long-time friend of India’s – have “diminished India’s stature in the eyes of the world.”
Journalist Bharat Bhushan wrote in Deccan Herald that with the recent visit, Modi has put India “firmly in the U.S.-Israeli camp.”
That is not a space that India should be in if it is hoping to lead the Global South, especially in the context of Israel’s continuing war on Gaza and the latest Israel-U.S. military strikes on Iran.
Indian leli delusion. Are the “global south” countries to unite and wage war against the “global north” countries which have superior economies and firepowers?
Also a lot of these global south kangers get one thing wrong – global south countries don’t aspire to be members of the global south permanently but become rich and become part of the “global north”. Korea, Taiwan, GCC, some Latin American countries etc did it and now the rest of the Asian countries are on their way.
As soon as India hits 0.8+ HDI and 12k+ pci in the 2040s it is applying for OECD membership.
