India Foreign Policy Thread

The armed forces are never enough. We have seen how East Pakistanis favored Indian economic opportunity over concept of Pakistan. The same may happen with Sindhudesh, Punjabistan, Balochistan and Pakhtunistan.

In some quarters, Pakistanis hate their armed forces more than they oppose India.

That will be the day when I believe that Pakistan will fall into India's lap. That day hasn't come and won't come.
 
They actually do. This constant propaganda and lobbying campaign from India against Pakistan is denying Business, Immigration and education opportunities to Pakistanis all over the world. India is spearheading worldwide campaign against Not just Pakistan , but also Muslims, and conditions are getting worse in western hemisphere. Those who live here, will know.
Causing Actual financial losses , loss of credibility , influence and much more to Pakistan.

Indian propaganda has no such power. What you are describing is anti-immigrant sentiment in Western capitals. All immigrants including Indian are nowadays targeted due to economic hardships.

Pakistan has hurt itself over all these years to achieve anything meaningful on the economic front. We all know the reasons. Corruption, mismanagement and more corruption.

As long as India exists, she will not be deterred nor distracted from this task.
 
Neither will we. Our survival depends on it.

Your opinion is already of a minority with soon to be fringe minority in your own generation. The younger generation that will replace you, were born in underbelly of Indian soft power projection.

Don't take my word for it, just visit any college or university in Karachi, Lahore or Peshawar.

Its different from the 70s and 80s.'
Previously the racism was on every non white. Now its laser focused on Muslims, and among Muslims , the Pakistanis. We get highlighted in almost every right wing Propaganda.
The money for this is coming from India and Israel cooperation, mainly India,
 
I am sure Poland is going to pay heed to Indian caution. 🤣
This is a snub that the Polish External Affairs Minister gave the Indian reporter when he asked about ( Pakistani) cross border terrorism. Fast forward to the 20 seconds before end of the video below.

JAISHANKAR-POLAND-PAKISTAN.jpg


India on Monday delivered a pointed diplomatic message to Poland over its expanding engagement with Pakistan, with External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar urging Warsaw to maintain zero tolerance on terrorism and avoid steps that could strengthen militant networks in South Asia.

During delegation-level talks with Poland’s Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski in New Delhi, Jaishankar publicly raised concerns about Poland’s recent outreach to Islamabad, including Sikorski’s October visit to Pakistan that resulted in a joint statement referring to Kashmir.


“Poland should display zero tolerance for terrorism and not help fuel the terrorist infrastructure in our neighbourhood,” Jaishankar said in his opening remarks, delivered in the presence of the visiting foreign minister.

He noted Sikorski’s familiarity with South Asia and said cross-border terrorism remained India’s foremost regional security challenge.

While avoiding a direct reference to the Kashmir language, Jaishankar’s remarks came against the backdrop of Poland’s widening political and economic engagement with Pakistan. Warsaw has recently sought to expand cooperation with Islamabad across trade, energy, defence, education and counterterrorism.

Indian officials view such engagement as problematic as Pakistan continues to face international scrutiny over terror financing and support for militant groups operating in the region.

Sikorski, in response, agreed on the need to counter transnational terrorism, citing Poland’s own experiences with attacks on infrastructure and acts he described as “attempted state terrorism.”

The talks also covered global developments, including the Ukraine conflict and trade tensions. Jaishankar reiterated India’s objections to what he described as the “selective targeting” of New Delhi for its independent foreign policy choices.

“In recent months, in New York and Paris, I have candidly shared our views on the Ukraine conflict and its implications. While doing so, I have repeatedly underlined that the selective targeting of India is both unfair and unjustified. I do so again today,” he said.

Although he did not name any country, the remarks referred to punitive trade measures against India, including tariffs linked to New Delhi’s purchase of Russian oil.

Sikorski echoed concerns about wider global trade disruptions, noting that Europe has also faced economic pressure. He warned of broader turbulence in global trade and welcomed India’s expanding diplomatic engagement across Europe as a sign of its commitment to ties with the European Union.

Jaishankar later said India’s concerns over selective targeting extended beyond tariffs, pointing to political and strategic pressures.

Despite the firm exchanges, both sides highlighted progress in bilateral relations since India and Poland elevated ties to a Strategic Partnership during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Warsaw in August 2024.

The ministers agreed to review the Action Plan for 2024–28, covering trade and investment, defence and security, clean technologies and digital innovation.

Poland is among India’s largest trading partners in Central Europe, with bilateral trade at about $7 billion, nearly three times the level a decade ago. Indian investments in Poland exceed $3 billion and have generated local employment.

“Our bilateral relationship has progressed steadily, but it needs constant tending,” Jaishankar said, also pointing to cultural links, people-to-people exchanges and historic ties, including the legacy of the ‘Dobry Maharaj.’

Monday’s talks underscored India’s effort to deepen strategic and economic cooperation with Poland while drawing clear lines on terrorism and Pakistan.
WOW watta country gora saab
 
Polish government had given a public message last year about Indian import of Russian oil. That was praised as a high in tough diplomacy and many of our friends on pdf were mighty happy about it. They even created a thread about it, which is still running with regular comments about how Poland is a rising power and India a waning one.

When India gives a similar message, it becomes Randi Rona and what not?

Jaishankar’s public statement on Polish delegations face suggests that India is no longer willing to overlook what it sees as selective moralising from Indian perspective. If Poland can choose to that, so can India. And it was done in front of cameras in a forceful manner.

It is very clear that, this public chiding made the Polish delegation as well as their supporters on pdf squirm in their pants

Well done Jaishankar.

When a country can complain about the usage of AMRAAM against them - then you need to understand their tactic is to voice complaints all over and use every dirty rotten tactic against you.

Your fault is to make humor and assume incompetence when instead you should recognize their expertise in underhanded diplomacy and using economics against you.

In case of India - I apply the opposite rubric to something that seems trivial -
Never assume incompetence when plain malice will suffice. Whether it’s their FM shooting tangents on Pakistan or some member here making snide or derailing comments.

You can never underestimate how much hate they carry because you never have tied your personal achievements and status to your country in the way they do.

yes Oscar, this is exactly the gripe many of us have with the so-called restraint shown when they didnt exactly deserve any of it.

Any comments from the Indian External Affairs Minister on the snub by the Polish External Affairs Minister to the NDTV reporter when asked about "Cross Border Terrorism " ? Scroll to 1:48 in the video below,
"That's enough" says the Polish EAM 🙂
The Polish EAM thought complaining about "cross border terrorism " is selective moralizing by India considering the fact that India is in bed with the Taliban whom the Poles fought on behalf of ISAF for 20 years and 44 Polish troops were killed by the Taliban in Task Force White Eagle

Wonder what "Laser eyes " said .

Poland tried to give unsolicited advice to India last year regarding Russian oil.

Jaishankar did exactly the same and that too at his face. It was to show them that it’s a two way track. When you want to give knowledge then be ready to accept some too.

Jaishankar and is team would have known exactly how would the whole thing go, after his strong statement at the face of polish FM. And he didn’t seem to like the taste of that medicine.

Many European nations try to take high moral ground and think that they can get away with unwarranted moralising.

This guy is trying to again tell about colonising behaviour of Russia. What about US attempt to take over Greenland? Has anyone heard a word about that attempt to colonise?

No. Absolute silence from the same Polish FM. And no word is excepted, because many of these nations think that, they have the mandate from god to pick and choose based on their own convenience.

When Jaishankar publicly chided him, he would have known that this guy can’t do s##t to India. Next time he would need to be a little careful while giving pearls of unsolicited wisdom to India.

Agree.. The gall of those Poles !
These Poles don't realize they are facing the emissary of a country with a "4 Trillion " economy, and per capita GDP of $2,800 - $3,000 USD ( 2025 projected)
Never mimd Poland's GDP per capita (nominal) is projected around $30,651 for 2026, while its GDP per capita (PPP) is estimated at roughly $58,559 for 2026, showing significant growth and closing the gap with EU averages, reaching 82% of the EU average in 2024. Now with such a paltry Purchasing Parity power these Poles have the nerve to lecture the indomitable "laser eyes.".

By "doing exactly the same" Mr. Jaishankar scored wonderful points off Poland and the Poles will be very willing to continue selling Nuclear reactors, boilers, gas turbines, and other mechanical and electrical equipment, a paltry $1.45 USD worth to India,
Jaishankar and is team would have known exactly how would the whole thing go, after his strong statement at the face of polish FM. And he didn’t seem to like the taste of that medicine.
Yes, exactly, the Poles have been dishing out bad medicine to the Russians, India's strongest ally funneling 148 billion worth of weapons to Ukraine. These weapons transiting through Poland were effective enough for the Ukrainians to have killed 1.2 million Russian soldiers.

Actually Poland is very impressed with India's "liberation " of Goa, Daman and Diu, Pondicherry and Sikkim. The only ones not impressed are the citizens of Goa and Pondicherry who would have been EU citizens ( of overseas territories of Portugal and France) today . As EU citizens they would not have needed to take the Dunkey route to the EU countries.
No. Absolute silence from the same Polish FM. And no word is excepted, because many of these nations think that, they have the mandate from god to pick and choose based on their own convenience.
Agree..,and even on the subject of a divine mandate the Poles come off short when compared to India. The Poles have just one god as against the proven fact of 300 million.
When Jaishankar publicly chided him, he would have known that this guy can’t do s##t to India. Next time he would need to be a little careful while giving pearls of unsolicited wisdom to India.
Agree, and likewise none of the other tiny bankrupt nations in the neighborhood can do much to India. Money is no problem. India can buy more planes as compared to Poland, even if those pesky Pakistanis can be a nuisance at times,
