Modi has decided not to go abroad recently and will concentrate all his efforts on promoting the "Chakra Action" victory. For this reason, he has already launched a national celebration lasting for 10 days, and Indian citizens are celebrating. I saw a comment from a Chinese netizen: "Apart from Indians themselves, no one believes they have won."
However, what truly confuses us Chinese military enthusiasts is: why does Modi choose to offend both China and the United States but praise Russia over this matter?
Let's first talk about how they offended China: On May 14th, India suddenly requested that Marcuse's X platform close the official accounts of two Chinese state media outlets, citing that the Chinese state media reported many contents unfavorable to the Indian military and beneficial to the Pakistani military, such as the Indian Air Force's "Rafale" fighter jets being shot down.
Similarly, in recent days, Modi's government also offended the United States. On one hand, they firmly rejected Trump's mediation in resolving the millennium-old conflict between India and Pakistan; on the other hand, they insisted on exerting pressure on the U.S. regarding tariff issues and planned to increase taxes on American goods.
However, when facing Russia, Modi's government took a different stance. According to the latest news from India's official media, "India Today," India intends to increase its purchase volume of the S-400 Triumph air defense system. The Indian authorities also highly praised the system, claiming that it perfectly protected India's territory during the previous India-Pakistan war.
This undoubtedly pleased the Russian side. A Russian official media quoted their expert Korotchenko as saying: "The S-400 is currently the most powerful long-range air defense system with anti-missile capabilities globally!" It seems that the Russians intend to take advantage of this opportunity to promote it extensively and win more orders.
In the end, due to this India-Pakistan war, Modi's current diplomatic strategy has become completely chaotic. He has offended not only the United States and China but also France, whose Rafale fighter jets have been disdained by India, and its future overseas arms sales path may not be smooth. We will see what Modi will do after offending major powers.
