How Modi government is using aggressive diplomacy to its advantage

The nationalistic ‘New India’ of Prime Minister Narendra Modi has made some tough decisions, the Modi government has vigorously defended India’s national interests.
India is leveraging its economic power and global standing to rap countries that are crossing it on core interests. The forceful measures New Delhi adopted to convey its displeasure to Turkey and Malaysia.
Before the familiar lament in New Delhi used to be that we cannot make bigoted Islamist horses drink the water of reason. Now, Modi is challenging the diehard Pakistan-backers with material disincentives and daring them to back off.
Today, China and the United States have far bigger markets and militaries than India to succeed in ‘compellence’ games. But the fact that India has embarked on the path of carrying a big stick and wielding it is a welcome development.
Modi govt. showing when to retaliate, in what proportion, and against whom and that is an essential aspect of growing up and holding one’s own in the competitive dog-eat-dog world of realpolitik.
