On Tuesday External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said that India has navigated and adapted to a world that has not always been kind and not always been accommodating but the country has drawn on its traditions to develop certain tactical skills.
Addressing a session titled ‘Thrones and Thorns: Defending the Integrity of Nations’ at Raisina Dialogue 2025 today, Jaishankar stressed there are three dimensions important to understanding India, which include the Global South, and democracy.
On asking about India’s authentic position during the discussion, the External Affairs Minister said, “I would say maybe there are three, four dimensions which are important to understand India. First of all, you know, the Global South, the decolonization, because it is impossible to appreciate India’s global positions without being cognizant of the colonial history, because when you have lost your independence and struggled to recover it, there is a whole mindset which comes with it. So, I would say very definitely Global South is one”.
