INDIA.. the country that witnesses mostly hatred everywhere..!!

At present, India is going through a very difficult phase of time.
While the entire country is battling its war against the second and much deadlier wave of the #ChineseCoronavirus.. the Western Media’s venomous propaganda & in-bred hatred are continuing to malign the image of the country.. worse than ever.

How much do you think India has impacted the world on World Affairs?
And what is the nature of this impact.. mostly positive or negative?

Although the indigenous Culture & Values, for which this country existing since time immemorial is globally renowned, India mostly projects on wielding its “Soft Power..”

But with highly hostile & terrorism-breeding neighbors like China & Pakistan respectively (now even Nepal has turned its peaceful diplomatic stand against India).. this Soft Power’s play had to be turned down:

While the examples of Soft Power of India are numerous, as per the following:

  1. India’s foreign aid to other developing countries like Bhutan, Sri Lanka, etc. along with cultural ties with the ASEAN member nations.
  2. India’s role in humanitarian and disaster relief operations (India contributes for the HIGHEST volunteers in the UN Peacekeeping Forces).
  3. Attraction of India as a higher education hub for many developing countries in Asia and Africa (various EdTech startups are expanding there territories in those areas supporting online education).
  4. Movies and Documentaries of India’s Bollywood (Hindi Film Industry) are quite popular among the citizens of many foreign nations.
  5. With collaboration between the USA & India, a deal between arch-rivals Israel & UAE was signed and this move was diplomatically groundbreaking; more such surprising deals are on the way.
  6. India was able to align around 175 member nations of the United Nations on its side to declare 21st June as the celebration of #InternationalYogaDay; an annual event organized worldwide.
  7. The International Solar Alliance (ISA) is yet another initiative to gather member countries on a single stage for working towards decreasing the usage of traditional fuels (global carbon footprint) & move towards the solar energy for a better & greener future.

There have been also some hard steps taken on India’s end to tackle the hostility of the neighboring nations, as follows:

  1. India did a ground military based Surgical Strike when Pakistan supported terrorist attack happened in Pulwama.
  2. India did an Air Strike in Pakistan to destroy the terrorist launch pads & terrorists breeding over them
  3. With the help from various supporting countries, India has been able to let the terrorist nation — Pakistan remain in the Grey List of FATF; it is now working towards getting it moved to the Black List.
  4. Military conflicts with China over the Doklam Standoff or the recent bloody clash in the Galwan Valley.. (along with the border dispute on Arunachal Pradesh).. the Indian line of defense has ALWAYS made us proud.
  5. Forcing illegal Bangladeshi Muslims & Rohingya Muslims of Myanmar to return to their respective countries.
  6. Making latest defense procurements on a rapid delivery basis to strengthen the Indian military’s might at the border fronts.

Even after doing so much.. India is STILL hated and scorned off by the Western Media.. and the countries that dislike India on account of its “negative impact on world affairs” are mostly more developed than it; watch video to know.. some names might shock you.

The humanitarian drive of distributing life-saving anti-Coronavirus vaccines to needy countries.. under the initiative -”Vaccination Maitri..” was negatively criticized both in-house & in foreign lands.

What more can be done OR needs to be done to deliver a positive impact over the world affairs?
India will NEVER behave like the USA or China.. NEVER!
I hope the world to at least realize India’s contribution in various domains of art, craft, architecture, culture, civilization, science, literature, grammar, technology, deep space exploration, etc.
