India should ignore odd comments by the West as a measure of strength. भारत मजबूत हो रहा है, पश्चिम की हर आलोचना (झूठी) पर चिंतित होना ठीक नहीं

Foreign Minister Dr. Jaishankar has remarked that the West seem to think they have a birthright to comment on internal matters, palpably motivated by disinformation campaign unleashed by disgruntled cabal who has lost power at the hands of PM Modi. Well done, but may be enough!

They criticize India (albeit wrongly) because India is a solid and vibrant democracy. They don't attack China an authoritarian state that is committing crimes against humanity in Tibet and Xinjiang, with whom the West makes lucrative business deals. 

Time has come to look at it in proper perspective. As a resurgent India picks up strength, power and esteem from its transformation in economic, defence, infrastructure, science, technology, space and especially political stability under PM Modi that deliveres results in growth strategy, nuances against India are bound to increase. As long as these do not jeopardize India's interests, the country should stop responding to each and every nuance of the West. I agree with Shahi Tharoor that JaiShankar should cool down a bit.

 see that in the midst of a few oblique comments, there are many overtures coming from the USA, that are meant to cement strategic partnership with India in many fronts, as noted by Kurt Campbell, an assistant to the US President Joe Biden, that US relationship with India will be the most important relationship of the 21st century. There is really no need to be nervous about every little odd comment!
