Cover story : Much ado about nothing


In a new world order, dominated by a multi-polar world, India needs to establish herself strongly along with the US, Russia, Eurozone, China, and Japan. Modi’s personalised diplomacy is a huge attempt to achieve this objective. His endeavour is to leverage India’s status as an economic power to achieve political and diplomatic clout. Naturally, the spectacular extravaganza at Houston has been hailed by many as a shining feather in Narendra Modi’s cap. But as the show was watched by millions, Modi’s blatant endorsement of Trump’s candidature – Ab kibaar Trump sarkar – left diplomats and bureaucrats baffled. Diplomacy has always been a behind the scenes activity – nuanced and sensitive – and not a roll of the drums. As Prime Minister of India, Modi represents over a billion Indians and yes, he was voted back to power with a resounding majority to lead India.
