If India wants to take its business elsewhere, it’s free to but let’s not pretend this is some masterstroke. Turkiye isn’t economically dependent on India. Erdogan won’t lose sleep over a few canceled contracts when he’s securing deeper trade with the EU, Gulf, and Central Asia. If Modi’s India wants to be taken seriously, it should act less like a petulant child and stop throwing tantrums, and act more like a real strategic player
That would be peak moral bankruptcy. It was a humanitarian gesture, not something to be weaponised.If Modi’s government is now admitting that Indian aid comes with strings attached, it only proves what the Global South already suspects that Delhi’s ‘Vishwaguru’ act is just hollow PR.
