India Foreign Policy Thread

[Yasser76]

He got investments. Even now Americans are committing billions of dollars in investment. They are still the largest investors in India. We are not put in any list of undesirables. Countries are lining up to sign trade agreements. Unlike some others who had private meetings with him only to be embarassed.

Yes, US India relationship is going perfectly, we can all see.....

Indians don't apply for H1B genius. American companies do and pay the fee. You really thought you did something there huh?

Super genius: Correct . It's the American companies that are the ones footing the $100,000 H1-B visa fees applicable to the hiring of all foreign nationals, but the squawking and howls of protest are coming from the Andhbhakts from Bharat not from Norway or Korea .

For your education:

• Foreign graduates on F1 student visas completing their education have a 60 day grace period to find a OPT ( Optional Practical Training) job after graduation.After graduation F1 students must apply for Optional Practical Training (OPT), which allows up to 12 months (or 24 for STEM) for job searching, with work beginning within 90 days of OPT start date, though the average job search can extend beyond this initial window, necessitating early applications for OPT to secure longer work authorization periods like STEM extensions or H-1B visas. The hiring firm sponsoring the applicants H1-B visa must show why foreign talent is required to fill a job vacancy in preference to hiring an American national.
• Foreign nationals already employed in business provider outsourcing establishments, overseas American affiliate firms also apply for direct employment and placement with American firms within the USA. either through the Human Resources departments of the contracting firm or attached Recruitment Agencies
• For those already employed with an overseas American affiliate firm there is the , L-1 visa option where the job location is merely transferred. L-1 employees cannot change jobs and can remain in the USA only while employed with their parent company. In exceptional cases the L-1 visa employee may return to the country of origin to be re-hired under an H1-B visa sponsor ship.
• H1-B visas are for all foreign talent ( from various countries) employed in the USA, , not just those belonging to Bharat. Yet the squawking on the limitations, higher fees is coming from bhakts not from Japanese.

Question:
Why is the Godi media in overdrive howling over a recruitment policy the USA as a sovereign nation is fully entitled to make? Is employment in the USA a birthright of Bhartiya nagriks ?

OK, so you have lost touch with the reality of the US - India relationship in 2026. It seems you have thrown common sense out the window in order to win some pride fightingh for your country on a Pakistani defence forum.

Think about what that says about the modern Indian with internet access and why many are turning against India now

The Europe, their NATO allies, North American allies like Canada is having trouble with the US and some of them are having existential threat on top of tariffs. Meanwhile Pakistanis here "India relationship bad lol!".

Let the internet turn against us. I'm quite loving platforms like x going to shit. The right wing around Europe and North America is going down with it.

That was just a meaningless rant.. Your contributions are becoming more irrelevant and bizzare. A bit like laser eyes himself....

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.

But your foreign ministers response is out of proportion.

A tit for tat response has to be for issues which are in the same order of magnitude, Poland does not make a habit of interfering in India and the Russia issue is enormous for them as well as being on their doorstep.

India can at least notionally understand that these oil purchases help Russia, what your foreign minister is expressing is at least verbally you will not have third parties dictate your relations with Russia, this is fine then Poland can have some basic and mild interaction with Pakistan, in that sense the comment was out of proportion

 

[Baibers_1260]

So what's the Indian foreign policy in general today? Focused on the destruction of Pakistan and Bangladesh?
A few "Why " questions

• All the business opportunities and trade India's "4 trillion " economy and market offers hasn't seemed to influence China in stopping weapons sales to Pakistan. Why ?
• All the investment, energy sales, Indian manpower imports and trade with India hasn't prevented Saudi Arabia from having a defense agreement with Pakistan ( even if it is for optics ). Why ?
• Despite the bilateral goods trade between USA and India ( $132.2 billion) , Technical manpower Indian diaspora community, the "4 trillion dollar" economy, 1.5 billion population open market, and large Hindu Indian origin diaspora in the USA with several Hindu influential lawmakers , why did the USA sell a $686 million upgrafe package for Pakistan Air Force F-16 fighter jets knowing these will be used against India?
• Despite selling $2.9 billion worth of oil to India for badly needed relief from sanctions, why does Russia sell RD-93 and now possibly improved RD-93MA jet engines for Pakistan Air Force Jf-17 fighter jets (which have been used against India) ?

Huh? How's India's relationship a bad with the US when even the US allies are facing worse? We are fairing a lot better in comparison. And we haven't ruffled any feathers so it could go either way. You simply can't accept our foreign policy is simply superior to sir Wink wink much better than even the US allies

OK, you stay in your fantasy world, a proper discussion on politics seems beyond your capability.

But your foreign ministers response is out of proportion.

Jaishankar must have decided to give more than expected to signal many other European nations, who do similar grandstanding. They have the habit of lecturing others. It was not just Poland but to many others who might be harbouring similar notions.

Poland had no business of poking their nose into our affairs. And they aren’t kids who didn’t know it’s none of their business. Polish FM must have known very well when he was making that statement about Russian oil. What he wouldn’t have expected is that India would wait and give it back to him with interest in front of cameras.

So, it was not out of proportion. Infact there shouldn’t be a notion of proportion at all and I am very happy of Jaishankar to do what he did.

Russian oil was kosher till not very long back. West had set a price and that’s how India went to purchase it. West including US, want to dictate everything. They keep creating and setting the boundaries of these so called international morals, which are purely based on their convenience.

Till some time back Iran was kosher and then turned evil. Venezuela too was ok but turned blood money not long back.

What gives these nations to set these self preserving and many times selective rules?

Are Iran and Venezuela under Maduro evil nations that deserved to be sanctioned?

It is the current world order I guess. And moral policing is not about absolutes either but more of hegemonic.

Wars created by oneself are kosher and approved while those not can be termed illegal or immoral by these powers.

Was Russian attempt to take over Ukraine is dadagiri but Maduro’s capture by US was perfectly fine?

Same Europeans are now learning this hard lesson with Greenland. How would US attempt to take over Greenland is any worse than Russian effort regarding Ukraine?

Should we stop buying and selling stuff to US now to prevent US from these wars? What about Israel? Shouldn’t Muslim nations who make a lot of noise about Palestine do the same? Shall I post the trade figures of a majority of these nations with Israel?

If India was supporting a war because it bought some oil then Turkey and Egypt are supporting genocide in Palestine. US is supporting wars all over the world. Saudi is supporting a war in Yemen and Sudan. There are many others.

So I disagree with this whole charade and narrative around Russian oil supporting its war with Ukraine.

Many Pak posters may disagree with my words above since India is in a pickle to their glee.

I don't disagree with the thrust of your argument here, I would just point out that the scale of Russia India cooperation is nothing compared to Pakistan and Poland.

You also are comparing apples and oranges, Russia is in a long bloody war with Ukraine, Pakistan is in no such war so if Poland has some interaction there is no equivalence, so if you maintain the right to self-interest in the context of a war, then to criticise Poland for something more regular is ridiculous



Also you have previously acquiesced to Iran oil sanctions so you have lost your locus standi on making a principled stand when really you are pursuing self-interest, that too not against a country as big as yourself

Poland is doing the same

Trump is doing the same

 

[Vikramaditya1]

OK, you stay in your fantasy world, a proper discussion on politics seems beyond your capability.

Kinda ironic when your entire argument is Indian foreign policy went bust and you keep repeating the same thing. You get what you give and some.

 

[Vkdindian1]

You also are comparing apples and oranges,

I am not comparing anyone to anyone. Neither am I trying to view Indo-Russian relations with Pak-Poland equation.

I looked at just two aspects.

One -Poland trying to lecture us on an issue they have no locus standi. Shedding crocodile tears would be the right word to describe their false concern.

Second - Indian import of Russian oil being labelled as funding the war.

India backed down from importing Iranian oil because India doesn’t have that kind of power yet to openly defy the US. Import of Russian oil was also approved by the US under pressure from India asking for its energy security and requirements.

Basically, India is not as powerful as China to defy the west completely but has some leverage which is being used to delay the trade deal and also go a little slow on reducing the Russian oil. It didn’t do a high jump at the same way as would have been done by Pakistan or many other nations who have signed trade deals under duress. India is holding on. That is something, that you may not like to accept but is a truth.


Your assumption of “PRINCPLED” stands in geopolitics is a flawed one. There is only one principle - Self preservation. Rest of the things are secondary. People talk of principles when the first requirement of self preservation is met.

Poland is trying to do it but doesn’t have the kind of weight to pull Trump kind of s##t. That’s why Polish FM was lectured on camera and I loved every bit of it.
