Indian Prime Minister Modi’s recent visit to Moscow to meet the Russian President, to strengthen diplomatic ties and trade relations, has sparked a range of reactions from different political quarters. While Russia has termed it as “historic and game changing”, many others have expressed skepticism while crafting many narratives centering the visit.
Following are the different narratives that the international actors are trying to knit around Modi’s visit to Moscow:
Criticism of Modi’s Alignment with Putin:
The most important part of the narrative that the West is trying to build is showcase Modi in an evil light stating that he was not there when mediation had to be made between Kiev and Moscow, given the bombings done by Russia. But now he has come to buy cheap oil and energy from Moscow.
Questioning India’s Strategic Choices:
Some commentators have opined that Modi’s visit to Moscow undermines India’s international standing, especially in terms of global conflict, and alignment with democratic norms, which the West believes have been set and complied to only by them.
This tagging of India as largely undemocratic is again one of the propagandas that the Western Left ecosystem is trying to establish.
Implications for India-US Relations:
There’s speculation on how Modi’s visit might impact India’s relations with the US and other Western allies, potentially complicating efforts for global cooperation and alignment on issues like sanctions against Russia.
Predicting the spoil of PM Modi’s domestic political image:
Some critics have even stated that PM Modi’s diplomatic moves are not being perceived positively by the people at his home.
Modi is trying to establish a divine mission:
At the end most of the critics fanned by the air of leftism have come to the conclusion that any power who wants to do divine missions are leaders who seek to increase their power and extend their rule, ideally indefinitely.
In this they have compared PM Modi with Putin whom they say have already completed the mission, and with Tayyip Erdoğan along with Modi are being headed in the same direction.
Victimisation of the West:
The US and its allies are trying to put the blame of the same crime on Russia and India which they themselves had been perpetrating for years now.
Let’s for example take the cruelty of the European colonisation for more than centuries, to the vanishing of the Red Indian tribes by the Americans or the Holocaust, or the killing of Jews by the Germans, or for that matter the imprisonment and torture of people suspected of terrorism by the Americans in the Guantenama Bay.
Have a look at some of the illustrations that demonstrates the cruelty behind the emergence of the American civilisation.
They have a history of patronising mass genocides throughout the globe and through ages. Even Islamic terrorism, the phenomenon they frown upon, was their creation in the mid 1970s as a weapon to fight the mighty USSR during the cold war era.
So, all their claims and attempts of tagging PM Modi as equivalent to someone patronising terror or killing falls flat on ground. America and its allies must look inward at their own blood-stained history before they go on putting blames on others!!!
ANYTHING FOR PROFIT..IS WHAT THEIR MISSION IS!!
