India Shifts Foreign Policy, Seeks Closer Ties with South Asian Neighbors While Ethnic Minorities Pay the Price
- India is seeking closer ties with South Asian governments while ignoring ethnic minorities to advance its regional interests
- India has a poor domestic record on ethnic minority rights yet hypocritically backed some ethnic movements abroad
- Past Indian support for ethnic movements abroad backfired, harming relations with neighboring countries
- India now appeasing ruling elites in South Asia to minimize China's influence and achieve regional power status
- Loss of Indian backing leaves ethnic minorities globally isolated and vulnerable to further oppression
