The west has diametrically opposite standards for dealing with issues in its own backyard and that of non-western fast-growing economies like Bharat. Not that a western country should technically have a say in Bharat’s internal matters, yet meddling in the internal affairs of Bharat even as their own house goes all topsy turvy and haywire, seems their favorite pastime. With the geopolitical order transforming at an unprecedented pace, the west is fast losing its relevance.
As the world gets wary of the high and mighty attitude of western countries, they are clutching on to the last straws of power, as it were. Lecturing Bharat, a country that was once their colony, perhaps gives them the illusion of still being an imperialist power and calling the shots globally. The west’s attempt to showcase itself as all-important and supremely powerful in a world that increasingly doesn’t give two hoots to its perception regarding this and that is nothing short of farcical. It’s the 21st-century adaptation of Don Quixote chasing the windmills.
But now the west is getting entangled in its mess, and it can’t quite figure out how to escape. Take the case of the UK, for example, It has long lectured Bharat on the Kashmir issue and continues to do so. They have a long history of Islamic appeasement and therefore, many of Bharat’s international issues including the Kashmir issue are routinely raised in British Parliament.
