Pointing to the debates on Indian democracy that have been in the headlines in American academia and media, the External Affairs Minister suggested that those who had “lost out their monopoly to shape narratives in India” and were uncomfortable with India’s own way will continue to try to shape India from outside – he urged the diaspora to contest these narratives

India’s External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said that the biggest change in his career, a change that he was privileged to be a part of, was the nature of the India-US relationship. He lauded the role of the Indian-American community “as a living bridge” in enabling that shift.
In his interaction with the Indian-American community, Jaishankar spoke about Russia’s war in Ukraine and expressed India’s willingness to help bring an end to the conflict. He underlined the need to push out one’s own civilisational narrative, across domains with the participation of the diaspora.
