Modi and Jaishankar have become to foreign policy what Rao and Manmohan were once to economy

Firstpost  

The Gulf War had left India in a precarious situation. When one revisits the year 1991 in India’s history and gathers thoughts on its significance for India’s destiny three decades later, there is an uncanny resemblance that is found between Rao-Manmohan combination and Modi-Jaishankar partnership — but the latter is in the domain of foreign policy. Since then a new era has begun in India’s foreign policy, India’s engagement with China is over for all practical purposes. While the US and other Western countries are important to balance China, India also recognises Russia’s value as a time-tested ally. A careful analysis of India’s behaviour since 2020 highlights these three aspects of its foreign policy for which the Modi-Jaishankar duo can’t be credited enough.
