India is non-West, but NOT anti-west! What a powerful statement!
On the other hand, Americans be like, "You're either with us or against us!".

These Europeans have double standard.They accuse why India buys oil from comm. Russia.But their whole economy depends on comm.China

[yayatiindian]

Thank you Modiji for bringing out this Gem and letting him stand up for us. Other Indian parties would never let Jaishanker say these sharp smart things.

This man is a sugar coated, adorable weapon in India's arsenal unabashedly calling out the west for all its past and present hypocrisy. And his sincerity and integrity in all this compulsive smartness cannot be lost to anybody. Salute

Churchill rightly said that diplomacy is the art of telling people to go to hell in such a way that they ask for directions 🎉🎉

[gauravmasalkar]

West can invade countries, topple the democracies in the world but india can not even buy oil from free market. Hypocrisy!

The World Champ of Foreign Affairs - Calculated, Sharp shooting, Clever and Articulated.

Never thought that I would hear something like this and saying it in the face of the US Foreign Secretary. This was a distant dream for india 10 years ago. S. Jaisankar sahab is surely the best person to be in the post of Foreign Minister.

[shreyanshtiwari]

This is the reason why I'm big follower of s jaishankar sir 😂
His replies are marvelous, to the point, and realistic.
He is an intelligent and smart technocrats.

[mohancgr]

Blinken was worried that US will be exposed again by jaishankar Infront of western media. Maintained a calm stand there.
