A very pragmatic comment by a youngster. The future of India. I think just as Xi is seeking to create history for himself & China Modi meets to do a PVNR in FP. Flip it over. Create your own club & end this I am a member of all clubs delusion. Given Indian inclusive culture the https://twitter.com/HoysalRahul/status/1276544729165914112
ONLY option is to align with the West. If I were to be audacious I would even say - create a new NATO - let's call it QUAD for now. Rope in Japan Philippines Vietnam Japan Australia USA & openly plan for a shared defense strategy with a FTA that can help each other economically
Unlike in the past the USA & Russia even if they rattle swords is more in the scabbard. They have a shared interest to dominate space, jointly use the #ISS & Russia even transports the USA astronauts. While Russia can lean towards China the shared Indian & USA history can ensure
that Russia does not feel threatened by this QUAD even if they don't join. Russia may actually like the role of being a bridge between China & this QUAD. This is the best way to counter China plans of hegemony,domination, Pak terrorism. I still wonder what would have been history
if let us say the Chandrasekhar govt which helped USA on the initial period of the gulf war had continued to do so instead of pulling the plug & making USA feel we aren't a reliable friend. This QUAD can have visa free travel for tourism & business though not working initially.
The bottom-line is that the old order needs to change, the so called neutrality needs to go & @PMOIndia @realDonaldTrump @JPN_PMO @ScottMorrisonMP #GovtofVietnam #GovtofPhillipines @DrSJaishankar @SecPompeo can create history & a new world with common shared interests & culture
