🚨🚨🇮🇳 India’s message to the world: our diplomacy begins & ends with STRATEGIC AUTONOMY – BJP leader @PrinceArihan
To those in the West who think India’s Russia ties are negotiable: think again.
🧵👇
🇮🇳🇷🇺 PM Modi’s engagement with President Putin reflects India's strategic clarity—our foreign policy is guided by national interest, not external pressure.
🤝 Russia remains a trusted partner in defence, energy, and strategic security.

🇮🇳✋ While some in the West press India for its trade with Russia, our position is firm:
We will not trade long-term interests for short-term appeasement.
⚖️ India will engage all global powers on equal terms—committed to advancing peace, stability, and sustainable growth.

⛓️❌ The SCO's opposition to unilateral tariffs is in line with India's own call for fairness in global trade.
🇮🇳📈 This opens up significant avenues for India to work with Eurasian partners—whether in energy, connectivity, agriculture, or technology.

🇮🇳🛡️ Through mechanisms like the International North-South Transport Corridor and greater use of local currencies, we can build resilient supply chains and reduce vulnerabilities created by protectionist measures.
5/6
📢 The message is clear: India seeks prosperity through partnerships, not protectionism.
📊 Within the SCO, India can drive a collective agenda that balances economic growth with strategic security, ensuring that Eurasia emerges as a pole of stability in a fragmented world.

The images of Modi, Putin, and Xi meeting together set off alarm bells among US corporate media.
Here are some of the most noteworthy reactions🧵👇
🇮🇳🇷🇺🇨🇳 'India, Russia and China unite against US'
This headline from CNN says it all.

🇺🇸😨 Another concerned soundbite from CNN:
“The enduring image is of those leaders of three of the world's largest countries, Russia, China & India, looking pretty cordial and happy together and all agreeing that this is a time of global uncertainty, and they're all calling for some kind of newer, fairer system of government.”
🇮🇳 India is recalibrating—choosing multipolar engagement over Western dominance.
Experts break down the stakes🧵

🇮🇳🇺🇸 In India, disillusionment is deepening due to US tariff-driven economic unilateralism —accelerating outreach to Russia and China as counterweights.

🇮🇳🇷🇺🇨🇳 Guided by strategic autonomy, India will continue to deepen ties with Russia and China—even as challenges, especially with China, persist.
One year ago, very few predicted drastic India-China rapprochement.
But today, Indian PM Modi just landed in China, his first visit in 7 years.
Here’s why the SCO Summit in Tianjin will be a watershed moment.
Thread by @Kanthan2030 🧵👇
🇮🇳 Modi’s trip to China is a game-changer for three reasons:
▪️ The immense potential for new economic, trade, infrastructure and tech cooperation between India and China, which have a combined population of nearly 3 billion people.
▪️ Revival of momentum for SCO, the world’s largest regional group. And this success will have spillover effects for BRICS as well.
▪️ Possibility of the revival of the RIC format – Russia, India, China – which will shake the unipolar dreams of the US Empire and herald a new multipolar vision.
🇺🇸 Interestingly, at this very critical crossroads, President Trump has launched a meaningless diplomatic war against Modi and India.
The US trying to prevent India from buying Russian oil is also a self-goal in terms of trying to end the Ukraine conflict.
Trump can end the conflict by gaining President Putin’s trust, not by trying to sabotage the Russian economy.

🤝The warming of ties between the two Asian giants was not easy.
⚡The border clash in 2020 deeply hurt the trust between India and China, which had worked very hard to overcome some innate geopolitical tug of war.
💸Although bilateral trade continued, everything else suffered in the India-China ties. At least, superficially.
However, in the background, the leaders knew that the hostility was not desirable or sustainable in the long run.
The big thaw of the glacier started after the Modi-Xi meeting at the BRICS Summit last year.
The two leaders agreed on a broad spectrum of strategic ideas; and the diplomatic/military teams from both countries started working on the consensus reached by Modi and Xi.
