Former U.S. President donald trump has once again sparked global outrage by making controversial remarks, this time blaming india for "indirectly supporting the killing of Ukrainian people" in the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war. Trump's statement, though lacking concrete evidence, suggests that India's continued trade with russia — particularly in oil and defence sectors — amounts to a silent endorsement of Russian aggression. 

The comments come on the heels of his previous claim that he single-handedly stopped a war between india and pakistan by threatening india with tariffs, a statement that was widely ridiculed and fact-checked by experts. This new accusation has not only stirred international debate but also triggered domestic criticism of the indian government’s silence in the face of repeated provocations.

Prime minister Narendra Modi’s muted response to Trump’s repeated jabs has not gone unnoticed. Despite the gravity of Trump's claims, Modi has not publicly addressed or condemned them, leading many to question his assertiveness on the international stage. Critics argue that a strong leader would not allow a former foreign head of state to repeatedly insult the nation without a firm rebuttal. The lack of response has fueled growing public frustration, with many expressing disappointment over what they perceive as diplomatic submissiveness. Modi’s cautious approach—often seen in his reluctance to directly name trump in speeches or interviews—has only added fuel to the fire, reinforcing the image of a leader unwilling to stand up to external pressure.

On social media, the sentiment is even more scathing. Hashtags like #SurrenderModi and #WeakPM are trending, as netizens express embarrassment over India’s perceived passivity. Many users have posted memes and sarcastic takes, mocking Modi for being more aggressive in domestic politics than in defending the country’s image abroad. Some point out the stark contrast between Modi's fiery election speeches and his silence on the global stage, especially when india is being accused of complicity in an ongoing war. For a nation that aspires to be a global power, citizens are demanding a leader who responds with strength and clarity, not silence and deference.
