PM Modi’s Russia visit: A combination of strategic autonomy & foreign policy

 With his latest visit to Russia, Prime Minister Modi sent a message to the globe, stating that India will never compromise its foreign interests in favor of ongoing geopolitical shifts. This visit also suggests that India is a nation that can withstand international political pressure and stand its ground.

 As everyone knows, India and the USA have had positive relations lately as well. Nevertheless, the visit demonstrates how India is balancing its international ties. India has so far rejected calls from the West to denounce the war in Ukraine, opting instead to emphasize the significance of upholding international law, national sovereignty, and territorial integrity.

 PM Modi is trying to control China with his visit to Russia. There are currently three developing powers: China, India, and the United States. India is the economy that Russia needs to assist the quickest expansion. India wishes to keep its bilateral ties with Russia intact since they are arguably the most reliable and established. It has traditionally been the focal point of Indian foreign and strategic strategy.

 Both China and the US desire to rule each other. China never reveals its secret motto, "Unipolar in Asia," although constantly declares that it "wants a multipolar world." Asia is China's eternal province. India is aware of their covert intentions.

India is moving quickly to develop its plans to counter China's aspirations. India and Russia now have more bilateral contacts as a result. Following Western sanctions, New Delhi purchased Russian oil at substantial discounts. 

 India became the biggest purchaser of Russian oil after its imports from Russia increased from 2% to 40% before the conflict.

Following Modi's visit, the two nations decided to increase their bilateral commerce, which is currently valued at $65 billion, to $100 billion by 2030, according to a joint statement.

 Modi has consistently considered adopting a foreign policy based on the country’s interests. Modi's visit serves as a democratic check on China. India will keep the balance between Russia and the West because it aspires to be a pole in a multipolar world.

 However, India is also emphasizing the need for peace, with Prime Minister Modi stating that conflicts cannot be resolved by force. India's goal is not to become a "Vishwa-satta" or "World Power," but rather "Vishwabandhu."

Hindus Hold Massive Protest in Canada

 More than a thousand members of the Canadian Hindu community gathered in Brampton on Tuesday to express worries about the rising violence against Hindus in the country following a Khalistani attack on a Hindu temple. Participants from around Ontario came to the peaceful demonstration outside the Hindu Sabha Mandir, one of the biggest temples in Canada, to call for responsibility and safety. According to the demonstrators, the purpose of the solidarity event is to pressure Canadian law enforcement and politicians to stop aiding Khalistanis. In addition to demanding safety and accountability, the demonstrators from all around Ontario were waving saffron flags and the Indian tricolor while singing anti-Khalistani extremist slogans and voicing their displeasure with the Justin Trudeau administration. The Coalition of Hindus of North America (CoHNA) organized these protests, claiming that there were several attacks on Hindu temples across Canada over the Diwali weekend and callin...

Fractured Relations: What’s Next for India and Canada?

Image
  The death of a Sikh separatist on Canadian land has escalated tensions between India and Canada, leading to the expulsion of their top diplomats, a new low in their traditionally friendly relationship. Although there have been tense arguments in the past, none have escalated to this degree of direct conflict. Following PM Justin Trudeau's assertion that Canadian police were looking into claims of Indian agents' and the Indian government's direct participation in the June 2023 killing, the tit-for-tat expulsions took place. The greatest Sikh diaspora outside of the Indian state of Punjab is found in Canada, where there are about 770,000 Sikhs. Relations between the two nations are still strained by Sikh separatism, which has its roots in a violent rebellion that took place in India in the 1980s and early 1990s. Delhi has harshly criticized Canada for not doing more to stop the pro-Khalistan agitation inside its borders. Canada claims that India has been keeping an eye on...

Understanding Kamala Harris’s Defeat

Image
 With his overwhelming victory, Donald Trump will become the 47th President of the United States. Donald Trump's win indicates that Americans still need to catch up in electing female presidents. Despite being the oldest democracy, America has yet to produce a female president, or, to put it another way, they do not believe that it should. Everyone is talking about Trump's win and how it will affect other nations, but we can also concentrate on Kamala Harris's electoral defeat. Analyzing this will reveal a few key elements that contributed to her loss. The absence of effective leadership in the party over the last four years is a major factor in the evident disenchantment that many Democratic voters have with Harris's campaign. This ambiguity, primarily from Harris's vague policy statements, actually led some voters to view Trump as the better option. It's possible that this general perceived weakness in the party's leadership hindered her ability to get s...
