Description

India’s decision to continue buying Russian oil has become one of the biggest points of tension between New Delhi and the West. But when India’s External Affairs Minister Dr. S. Jaishankar is questioned about it, his response is direct — and it challenges the assumptions behind the criticism. In this video, we look at how Jaishankar defended India’s decision to buy Russian oil, why India prioritises energy security and affordability, and why New Delhi refuses to let another country dictate its foreign-policy choices. The discussion also highlights a much bigger shift in global politics: India is building relationships with the United States, Russia, Europe and other major powers simultaneously, while keeping its own national interests at the centre. India is not choosing sides. India is choosing its interests. #jaishankar #modi #india #europe #russia #oil #geopolitics
