Leaders Around The World Are Heading To India?

Last week, in New Delhi, an unusual coincidence occurred when both Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov and British foreign secretary Liz Truss visited the capital on the same day.

What proposals did they bring with them?

Lavrov made a direct offer: buy oil and weapons from us at a reduced price. Although it is unknown if 2 countries meet to discuss further ties, it will be impossible to forget the good old days when Moscow was always nice to New Delhi.

What was Truss’ reaction? What else than the dream of democracy and prosperity?

In those days, life was so harsh that people believed in this dream worldwide. 36% of the global population lived in abject poverty in 1990. Within 25 years, that number dropped to 10%. Several years ago, it was predicted that no one on this planet would be classified as "very impoverished" by 2030. A pandemic would have snuffed out such wonderful ideals, and capitalism-induced affluence would symbolize a broken system.

The United Nations University's World Institute for Development Economics Research estimates that covid-19 has put 8% of the world's population back into poverty. 230 million people in India have fallen back into poverty as a result of the pandemic.

As the pandemic raged, what were the leaders of rich countries doing when the people of poor and developing countries were suffering? They closed their air and land routes. They even seemed indifferent to the rest of the world.

During that dismal moment, people were astounded to see how the promise of a “Global Village" had been lost.

It could not have been predicted that the capitalist system’s promises would be so completely blown away in just 30 years.

The West’s authorities, who had handled the poor world with ruthlessness, were also attempting to blame the East by dubbing covid as the Chinese virus.’ The instigator of this hatred was US President Donald Trump.

Libya, Iraq, Somalia, Afghanistan, Haiti, and Syria have all suffered massive losses at the hands of the West as a result of various attacks by the superpowers over the past 3 decades.

According to UN estimates, 8.40 million people had to be relocated globally by the middle of 2021. Civil war, attacks, and terrorism were the main cause.

As a result, whether Russia attacks Syria, Ukraine, Crimea, the West is in no position to intervene. The President of Ukraine,Volodymyr Zelenskyy, has led his country down a path of doom as a result of their many hollow assurances. As of 30 March, 4 million Ukrainians had moved to other countries, while 6 million were compelled to seek asylum.

Now that the West’s claims have been exposed, it is time to show them their place. It is no surprise that when Truss tried to advise India on 31 March, External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar responded appropriately.

He exposed the West’s double standards by claiming that European countries had imported 15% more oil and gas from Russia in March than the previous month.

This is the New India! Since the start of the war leaders from many countries have visited New Delhi, including the PM of Japan, the ‘Deputy’ of thenaz American Security Adviser, and the Foreign Minister of Greece. Many more important officials are expected to visit North Block in the following days. India is, without a doubt, a beacon of hope for the rest of the world.

This is the finest time for our ministry of external affairs to chalk out a strategy that would get us to our goal.
