India’s Foreign Policy Faces Global Setbacks, Telegraph Reports
India’s diplomatic and economic policies under Prime Minister Narendra Modi have come under sharp scrutiny, with a report by the international publication The Telegraph highlighting what it describes as significant foreign policy failures during his tenure.
According to The Telegraph, weak strategic planning and an ineffective foreign policy have exposed the limitations of India’s claims of regional dominance. The report states that institutional equity sell-offs and the impact of US sanctions compelled Prime Minister Modi to concede to American pressure.
The publication further noted that heavy tariffs imposed on India and stricter US immigration laws have dealt a major blow to Modi’s ambitions of regional influence. It also pointed out that the Modi government appeared unable to effectively assist hundreds of Indian citizens caught in the Russia–Ukraine conflict.
In another instance cited by The Telegraph, Iran reportedly denied India access to detained Indian naval personnel, reflecting strained diplomatic engagement. The report added that under US pressure, India withdrew from Iran’s Chabahar Port project, citing concerns within the Modi government.
On the economic front, The Telegraph reported that due to flawed economic policies, India’s trade deficit with China reached 116.1 billion dollars last year. The publication also highlighted what it described as contradictory policies and inconsistent statements by Prime Minister Modi and India’s foreign minister regarding Europe.
Global analysts quoted in the report stated that Modi’s narrative of regional dominance amounts to little more than rhetoric. Experts further observed that India’s repeated concessions under international pressure reflect weak diplomacy.
The report concluded that India’s flawed diplomatic and economic policies, combined with declining public confidence, stand as clear indicators of the Modi government’s overall failure.
