Asoka uncle is back…back at it with the apocalyptic “India is isolated!” doom-posting.
It’s the exact same broken record every single time… 2 neighboring Islamic nations mention SAARC in a joint statement, and suddenly our resident grand strategist declares that Indian diplomacy has collapsed, the West is laughing at us, and the sky is falling.
What he conveniently forgets (or just ignores because it ruins his dramatic narrative) is that SAARC was rendered dead in the water by Pakistan’s state-sponsored terrorism, not an Indian whim.
These 2 neighbors mentionee a dead regional forum in a press release, and suddenly Bharat is “isolated” from the entire planet? Really uncle?
SAARC didn’t die because of Indian diplomacy… it died because nobody normal sits at a summit table with a terror-exporting state like Pakistan just to take nice group photos. India moved on to actual, working partnerships while these guys are stuck dreaming about a 1990s ghost ship…
And Muizzu offering to “mediate” between India and Pakistan? Hilarious. That’s not a diplomatic breakthrough… that’s just a small-time politician playing to his home crowd. But sure, let’s pretend a trillion-dollar economic engine and global power is trembling in its boots because of a press communique…
Bottom line: Classic doom-posting from asok, the international relations expert, who mistakes local political posturing for global isolation… The view from his doom-cave must be exhausting…
India is getting isolated in South Asia. It cannot be seen as a success of foreign policy and diplomacy. Performative most of the time. Facile to believe this does not affect how India is regarded in the rest of the world, including the West.
