New Delhi: Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi skipped the historic 80th session of the UN General Assembly, where he was earlier scheduled to speak, amid growing indications that Washington is moving closer to Pakistan, leaving New Delhi\u2019s geopolitical manoeuvres in disarray.<\/p>\n

According to Kashmir Media Service, India\u2019s External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar addressed the UNGA in Modi\u2019s place, invoking Sanskrit phrases of \u201cself-reliance, self-protection and self-confidence,\u201d while pointedly using the name \u201cBharat\u201d to underscore the Hindutva agenda of the ruling BJP.<\/p>\n

Analysts note that Modi\u2019s decision to stay away from New York was influenced by the optics of Pakistan\u2019s prime minister and army chief being seen in warm engagements with US President Donald Trump. Such visuals, they argue, would have undermined Modi\u2019s long-standing strategy of always coupling his UN visits with a bilateral meeting with the US President.<\/p>\n

While Modi sought to counterbalance the setback by showcasing meetings with Chinese President Xi Jinping at the SCO summit in Tianjin and affirming \u201ctime-tested ties\u201d with Russian President Vladimir Putin, observers say these moves failed to mask India\u2019s isolation. His rhetoric on \u201csovereignty and territorial integrity\u201d in connectivity projects was also read as a veiled attack on the China\u2013Pakistan Economic Corridor, exposing New Delhi\u2019s frustration.<\/p>\n

Experts stress that the real twist lies in Pakistan successfully nurturing ties with Washington, Beijing, and Moscow simultaneously \u2014 a triangulation that has unsettled India\u2019s foreign policy establishment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
