India-America Relations / Then don't feel bad... Why did Jaishankar give a blunt answer to America?

India-America Relations: India's Foreign Minister S Jaishankar recently made an important statement at the US think tank 'Carnegie Endowment for International Peace' when he was asked a question in the context of comments by American political leaders about democracy in India. Jaishankar said with clarity that anyone has the right to comment, but they also have every right to express their views.

Globalization and Democracy

Jaishankar said that the world today is in a very globalized state, and political deliberations cannot be limited only within national boundaries. He also pointed out that a large part of America's foreign policy depends on how it interferes in the political affairs of different countries. According to him, some political players try to influence politics not only in their country but also at the global level.

Equal respect for democracy

He stressed that all democracies should be respected equally. It is natural to have the right to comment on the democracy of one country, but when other countries exercise this right, it is seen as foreign interference. He said, "Foreign interference is foreign interference, no matter who does it."

Bold reply

Jaishankar said that if he reacts to any US comment, it is his freedom. He said, "You have every right to comment, but I also have every right to comment on your comment. So when I do that, don't feel offended." It was a clear message that mutual respect and dialogue is needed in international politics.

Conclusion

Jaishankar's statement is not only to protect India's democratic identity, but it is also an indication of how important the role of dialogue and respect is in global politics. This message makes it clear that it is necessary for any democratic nation to raise its voice and clarify its position. At a time when complexity in global relations is increasing, such statements further strengthen the exchange of views.
