Could not have thought of a better person to listen to at the start of the year
One must say that Dr Jaishankar has made foreign policy cool to listen and talk about

[barendrabhaumik]

This Minister is an asset for the nation. Most ministers in the Modi government are assets and patriotic. We are fortunate to have such people in the government.

Absolutely Bharat! As a F.B.I. (Fiji born Indian) I have been waiting for the Bharat connection since my ancestors were chained up on a English employment contract in 1885! Go Bharat, who cares what the world thinks of it. It’s our civilisation.

Jaishankar ji is single handedly responsible for bringing Indian foreign policy to the mainstream. I love how 13 and 14 year olds in millions in India watch foreign policy videos these days. Hum inko naman karte hain
