Saudi Arabia suspending visas for 14 countries, including India, is the latest diplomatic blow.
At the UN, China blocked naming the attackers. Pakistan secured support from China, Russia, Iran, Turkey, and Malaysia, all calling for a fair probe.
India’s global standing is shrinking:
1. G7 excluded India over the Canada-Khalistan fallout; G20 brought no breakthrough.
2. Maldives has turned hostile with “India-Out” and a clear pro-China shift.
3. Sri Lanka and Maldives have leased strategic assets to China.
4. Nepal redrew its map to claim Indian territory.
5. OIC and West Asian nations keep targeting India over Kashmir and Muslim rights.
6. SCO and BRICS have become mouthpieces for China.
7. Russia is signing military and energy deals with Pakistan.
Meanwhile, despite its economic crisis, Pakistan secured $20B from the World Bank, $1B from the IMF, and $800M from ADB. It strengthened ties with Russia and took control of the Kashmir narrative. Turkey sent a warship in support; Iran offered to mediate; Qatar, Kuwait, and Malaysia echoed Pakistan’s stance.
This so-called muscular foreign policy has collapsed under its own PR.
India is loud at home but lonely abroad.
