#AmitMalviya, if you’re going to wave the Lowy Index around, at least read past the headline.
Yes,
#India is 3rd in
#Asia-with just 40/100, while the
#US is at 80.5 and
#China at 73.7. We’ve only just scraped past the minimum “major power” threshold.
The very same
#Lowy page you’re quoting also says:
•India’s weakest score is defence networks (rank 11, slipping further).
•Our Power Gap is negative and at its widest ever-meaning we punch below our weight and fail to convert resources into real influence.
Translated into non-propaganda language:
“Big potential, underperforming, weak alliances, not enough clout for its size.”
And you’re selling this as a victory lap for
#Modi’s foreign policy.
You’re not showcasing strength, Amit.
You’re proudly circulating a progress report that literally says: “could do much better, still falling short.”
