When you see Russia get into existential war over Ukraine, or Israel bomb Syria or India battle with Pakistan or Bangladesh, it is not because of some whim. It has a historical and geographical context. That is critical to understand for analyzing geopolitics.
One of the success stories of the first term of the Modi government was its outreach to the Indian diaspora and a gala that used to be an unmistakable part of almost each of the Prime Minister’s trips abroad—all planned and executed by the BJP.

Gokhale, NRIs made 2 million calls to India to canvass for Modi, around 700 actually came down to India to campaign actively, of which about of 100 have been invited for Modi’s swearing-in. #Modi #Namo #BJP
