📉 Global Report Card: How Modi Flunked Diplomacy and Dragged india into a Pitfall
Narendra Modi came to power promising to turn india into a “Vishwa Guru.” Instead, he has ended up as a global embarrassment, flunking every test of diplomacy. What was once hailed as India’s rise has turned into India’s humiliation. Here’s Modi’s international report card—spoiler alert: it’s a series of big, fat Fs.
Subject 1: united states – Grade: F (Failed Ally)
Modi promised a “natural alliance” with the US. But thanks to democratic backsliding, censorship, and authoritarian antics, Washington is wary. Instead of being America’s key partner against china, india is now seen as an unreliable backbencher. Modi’s obsession with propaganda selfies with trump and Biden did not translate into strategy.
Subject 2: nepal – Grade: F (From Brother to Stranger)
A country bound by culture and geography should have been India’s closest friend. Instead, Modi turned nepal into a bitter neighbor by pushing border disputes and enforcing economic blockades. Result? nepal happily opened its arms to Beijing. china won a friend, india lost a brother.
Subject 3: canada – Grade: F (Diplomacy? What’s That?)
When faced with the Hardeep Singh Nijjar controversy, a mature leader would have chosen quiet diplomacy. Modi chose megaphone nationalism. The result? Relations are in the gutter, india looks arrogant, and canada, backed by the West, is calling the shots. A diplomatic own goal of the highest order.
Subject 4: Russia-China-Pakistan – Grade: F (Strategic Blunder)
India’s historic ally, Russia, is now cozying up to china and even Pakistan. Modi had one job—keep moscow close. Instead, his blind support for the US and weak handling of Russia-Ukraine relations drove Putin straight into Xi Jinping’s arms. Now india stands isolated while enemies huddle together.
Subject 5: Global Reputation – Grade: F (From Guru to Joke)
From being hailed as a democracy that worked, india is now mentioned in the same breath as authoritarian regimes. Modi’s censorship, communal politics, and lack of tact have reduced India’s brand. Instead of being “world teacher,” india is now the world’s warning sign.
📌 Final Scorecard:
Diplomacy: F
Neighbors: F
Allies: F
Strategy: F
Ego and Photo-ops: A+
Conclusion: Anpadh Leadership, Global Disaster
This is what happens when a man with no depth in foreign affairs pretends to be a statesman. Modi mistook stadium rallies abroad for diplomacy and hashtags for strategy. The result? india is boxed in, isolated, and weakened.
💔 India deserved a leader. It got a salesman.
