Ukraine war / Russia is also facing the heat of India's neutral stand, India is worrying about its interests

India's foreign policy has come to the fore in the Ukraine war case. For the first time, India has given priority to its own interests over the interests of the world. Many western countries, including the US, are uncomfortable with India's neutral stand, while India has also sent a message to Russia by condemning the Bucha massacre. India is repeatedly sending a message to the world that its priority is to look after its own interests instead of getting entangled in the camp of powerful countries in global affairs.

After the start of the war, India became a part of the diplomatic gathering. Delegates from many countries including US, UK, Russia, China, Australia visited India. Through these visits, the purpose of different countries was to use India in their own interest. However, India made it clear that in the context of the Ukraine war, it will take a decision according to its interests and its views.

PM gave message through mail meeting

The message of changed policy was given by PM Modi during the visit of foreign representatives to India. Of the foreign delegates who visited India, PM Modi only met Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. The PM did not meet US Deputy National Adviser Dalip Singh, UK Foreign Minister Elizabeth Truss.

Similarly, the PM did not meet Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi. According to government sources, India's attitude towards his visit was cold. In particular, Truss and Dalip Singh wanted India to stop oil-gas imports from Russia as well as criticizing Russia in the Ukraine war case. By keeping distance from these representatives, India sent a message that it will not compromise on its neutral stand.

message to prioritize your interests

India has given a clear message by first hitting back at Britain, then European countries and finally America that for the time being it will give priority to its interests on all issues. In this sequence, Britain's Foreign Minister Truss had to listen to Jaishankar in a joint press conference in the matter of oil imports from Russia. Jaishankar also targeted European countries. When the US raised the question of human rights violations in India, the Foreign Minister did not miss to listen to it.

Getting approval for the new approach

After failing to put pressure on India, its new stand is also being accepted. For example, Australia, which has criticized India's stand, signed a historic trade deal with India last week. Earlier there was a discussion on not sending an invitation to India in the G-7 meeting to be held in June. It is now indicated that host Germany will soon send an invitation to India to attend the meeting.
