India - May I come in? It's cold outside

 Modi made his choice, to distant India from Russia, to hug smelly Trump. Modi has his own priorities. The Americans were more anti China than Russia, worse, Putin is too close to Xi. The way to go forward is to sign up with the Americans. India has very serious historical baggage with China. The land that Britain stole from China and is India hugging closely to its chest, cannot be returned to China. No way, whatever things that landed up in India's hand, by India's own belief, legally or illegally, remains with India. With this mindset, India knows that China will forever be its enemy number one. China will want to take back its land one day. And that day must come, sooner or later. India will not give way and China cannot give way either. China's position is about national pride and dignity, that not an inch of its land would be snatched away from the Motherland by force. Indian mentality, whatever is in India's pocket belongs to India, no compromise, just like any foreign investments will eventually belong to India. This is the historical deadlock that would lead to war one day.

Modi knows this and is very comfortable to be on the side of the Americans, to depend on America as India's protector to keep its stolen goods. It went on well for a while and America too was very happy with India, carrying India up on a high pedestal. India was elated and grew in confidence. With mighty America behind its back, and thinking that strategically India is indispensable to the Americans, arrogance started to creep into the heads of Indian politicians. They can do anything they want. They have the Americans by the balls, and the Chinese too.

India is a superpower, the balancer, the king maker. India holds all the cards, calls the shot, China can be pushed around, America will just have to go along to please India. Jaishanker even took liberty to lecture the Americans and the Europeans about India's national interests that prevailed everything. India would decide and act on what was best for India. America and Europe just had to take it or leave it. India would act independently, free from pressure of the Americans, be friends with whoever it wants, buy oil, weapons from whoever it wants. India is sitting in the main table with the superpowers on its own terms. India will be a pillar in geopolitics, will not be bullied by any superpower.

 The Indian arrogance and audacity were just too much for the Americans. Trump the megalomaniac would not allow it. Who is India? The opportunity came when India embarrassed itself in Operation Sindoor. If India could be whipped by little Pakistan, how could India be a useful partner against China? Trump decided there and then to kick India into the wilderness. No more niceties for India. India is out in the cold. Trump slammed and insulted India over and over again, ignoring India, cold shouldering India and humiliating India without holding back anything. India tried feverishly by sending its articulate and clever Jaishanker and many military leaders to wait at the door in Washington for a meeting with Trump. If Trump did not care two hoots who is Modi, who is Jaishanker? Trump has no time for him, just like Trump had not time for Prabowo.

Henceforth, India is out in the cold, not invited to anything, just an outsider. India is in a dilemma. It cannot be closed to China for obvious historical and strategic reasons. Putin no longer trust Modi. BRICS does not want India. India once thought it was a key player in BRICS but received a rude awakening that it is a nobody in BRICS, seen more as a traitor, a dangerous member that is working for the Americans to undermine the interests of BRICS and its members. The 'I' in BRICS is taking a different shade, being replaced by Iran. China, Russia and Iran are the new power to be reckoned with under a new strategic and military alliance to reshape BRICS and the world,...without India.

Never has India been so alone, so left out. All its neighbours are now very closed with China. India used to dig at China for having no friends. Now India is really is a situation where it has no friends. Not its immediate neighbours. India even betrayed Russia and Iran by visiting Ukraine and Israel, the enemies of Russia and Iran. Of course no one in BRICS or SCO regard India as a friend, as a trusted and reliable partner. Even Japan is pissed with India after the high speed train debacle.

India is now muted, total silence. No one wants to talk to India, No one has time for India. Even Netanyahu has no time for India despite Modi's visit to curry his favour. No need to talk about Trump and his feelings for Modi.

May I come in? Anyone there? Please let me in, it is cold and lonely out here. Try little India... the only place that still have high regards for India and trusting India with unbelieveable fetish confidence, like under an Indian spell.

India is all sound and noise without substance. Modi and Jaishankar can talk all they want, thinking they are very clever. But words without real power behind them, they are nothing. Trump may be a scumbag, but he carries real weight even when he talked cock, because American power is behind him. With Trump taking the lead to ignore India, India has no cards to play and fully exposed...naked with nothing worthy to offer or respect... no money, no technology, nothing to offer to the world except noise and bragging and acting important. Only the daft in Little India will be mesmerised by Indian rope trick. Modi forgot that he can only be important if Trump or Putin allows him to be so. It is like the proverbial mouse roaring and thumping its chest while sitting on the head of a lion. Trump has thrown Modi under the bus. Period.
