India launches its third diplomatic strike in 72 hours, this time through External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar. In a sharp warning against global dominance, he declares the world cannot be ruled by a few – a clear shot at the U.S. amid pressure on India’s Russia oil trade. Speaking at the BIMSTEC music festival, Jaishankar invokes culture, tradition, and sovereignty as India’s tools to resist Western control. His fiery remarks echo India’s defiance of U.S.-led pressure and bolster New Delhi’s multipolar world vision.
