None of Pakistan’s PMs has lasted 5 years. That the current PM has given Asim Munir 5 years shows that of all military dictatorships history has seen, Pakistan’s is most creative.
While geopolitical imperatives of this new responsibility are highlighted in this essay, as a developing country India can draw attention to the revised scope, cost and accountability of public health. Or now it is global health. (When a China sneezes, rest of us also catch the flu)
Big Pharma and Health Insurance have skewed the human health narrative. India by virtue of its position to innovate in drugs manufacturing, doctor talent and unique health tech solutions must consider its opportunity to impact the world health positively. An aspect of Vasudeva Kutumbham that must prevail!

India supported China entry at world forum and sacrificed own permanent membership in UNO . It allowed Tibbet succession at the cost huge immigration from Tibbet.China captured Indian territory in 62 and made physical assets in POK.
List is long but China must negotiate Indian concerns first ,So that India carry out the burden of One China policy at least on Tiwan issue.
This article assumes that the only opinions that matter are others and not India’s own. Based on recent foreign policy decisions it is more likely that India will act according to how it perceives things should be, without worrying about what others think that much.
I think that Russia has a bigger role as it is a friend of India, China and off late, potentially budding with USA. I have always said that Russia cannot be forgotten especially, with China using so much ammunition from Russia. Russia is also India’s best friend….
India will have to learn to live up to consequences of taking a stand and also gets into priorities straight. It’s existence is a primary priority and every stand it takes should en-circle around it. As for next priority, comes thy neighbors… When your neighbor is happy, you are happy. It creates peace and tranquility on the border. Again neighbor at peace must also be linked to India’s existence and rightfully so. Next comes India’s responsibility to the role and in this case, WTO… When its in business, it does business and how can you do business when you are ethical. This is where existence of India in the belief of Vasudev Kutumbukum comes into picture. The decisions to the role that India plays in the role is important. This does not mean India must be naive or become pressurized but it has to tactfully create an environment where everything falls in its line… Next comes the outer periphery of its influence like Pakistan and Middle east and Africa and Europe etc… It has to differentiate its relationship with these countries on a case by case basis and take a stand by doing balancing acts. India must learn to be an adult and take stance like an adult.
Will India declare on WHO stage that Homeopathy is actually not fake, that Gobar, Cow Urine cure cancer and Tulsi, Turmeric protect against Covid-19 and that our studies prove all this?
As much as I want India to be out there, I don’t like us being laughed at and the world seeing us for the fools we are. Our government is the biggest approver of quack degrees in medicine in the world. In what way are we prepared for WHO responsibilities?
If India is serious in persuading its own interest, it should welcome Taiwan’s membership in WHO. Appeasing China is not going to help India viz Kashmir. GOI must take a stand, fast.
There is no way that India can avoid taking positions either in the reform proposals for WHO or the international ramifications of Chinas role in a post Covid world.Given the new situation India should not be hindered by the infrequent border squabbles on the China-India LAC.Any full fledged flare-up can be discounted.In the present circumstances ,it is not easy to overwhelm any nation militarily especially with the Nuclear deterrent.In fact India should use all the diplomatic advantage vis-a-vis China in the pursuit of our National Interest.This is an opportunity to gain some significant economic and political advantage.
India will have to face this problem, and work out a plan to overcome it with increase of influence for itself. WHO will be only the first of many such situations. And China unabashedly pressures the countries under its debt for support. The situation will become more confrontational, as we also share a contentious border, which that country ups the military pressure at its will. However India has the experience of its past dealings, and will come up winners. Now may be the time for some smart risk taking plans
