New Delhi (HRNW)- Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s diplomatic approach during the recent Gulf crisis has come under sharp global scrutiny, with critics questioning the effectiveness of India’s foreign policy and international standing.
According to a report, India’s claims of strong global alliances appear exaggerated, as the country’s influence seems to have weakened during a critical geopolitical situation. The report highlights that the United States under Donald Trump allowed India to continue purchasing Russian oil, while India simultaneously sought assistance from Iran—moves that have reportedly impacted Modi’s political credibility.
Bloomberg further noted that within India, the public has begun questioning the government’s handling of the crisis, contrasting it with earlier narratives portraying strong global leadership. Concerns have also emerged over the return of nearly 50,000 Indian nationals from Gulf countries, raising potential implications for foreign exchange reserves and increased welfare expenditures.
The report adds that India’s evolving strategic partnership with Israel over recent years has strained its relations with Iran, with analysts suggesting that New Delhi’s balancing act has not yielded favorable outcomes.
Global experts believe that Modi’s narrative of regional dominance and international influence has faced a significant setback amid the ongoing crisis, with criticism growing over what is being described as inconsistent policies and diplomatic missteps.
