KEY POINTS
· India’s unbounded consideration for U. S. concerns has been a hallmark of its foreign policy over the decades, especially after the May 1998 nuclear tests.
· It is one thing to meet a minister from a “difficult” country, but it’s quite another to say that Iran has promoted regional security.
· India would not abandon Iran at the IAEA, and eventually led to their withdrawal of support to his government over the India-U.S. nuclear deal.
· Today’s India has its own compulsions, especially on the energy front given the global polarisation of positions around the Ukraine war.
· The government is also facing flak from the Gulf nations, including Iran, on the insulting remarks made by the ruling party’s spokespersons against Prophet Mohammed.
· In today’s uncertain world, India has the opportunity and the clout to pursue an independent foreign policy in the interest of its people. The departure from follow-the-leader default position on Ukraine and the vote on Iran are welcome, but there is a long distance to travel down this road.
· Energy security must be one of the guiding principles of this independent foreign policy as should food security.
· These goals are not negotiable and must not be sacrificed for the sake of any alignment with the West.
