He has made it clear to America that India will not dictate its foreign policy. How it maintains relations with Russia and China is not Trump’s domain. Since the strain in relations with America, India’s friendship with China has grown, and its friendship with Russia has strengthened. Government ministers are visiting China and Russia, but they are not even looking towards America. PM Modi himself is going to visit China, and Putin is going to visit India. These are all the actions through which a message is being sent to America. It is a message of an alternative to friendship. It has told America that India will not remain dependent on it. He has informed America that whatever decisions he makes will be in the national interest. Recently, he told farmers that Modi stands firm for your interests. While the PM is sending a message to the people of his country and telling them how his government is not bowing before America, his powers are also engaged in giving a direct answer to America. From Piyush Goyal to Foreign Minister S Jaishankar, Trump is being given a blunt answer from time to time. Piyush Goyal has said that India will not bow before anyone, while Jaishankar, giving a direct message on trade, said that if America does not like it, then don’t buy.
