The Bharatiya Janata Party-led government seems far more unrestrained in enforcing its chauvinistic and revanchist agenda. So far, the Modi government’s signature strategy has been to keep domestic politics out of foreign policy. In the months to come, we’ll see New Delhi firefighting to douse the criticism from outside its borders. A viable option is to harmonize domestic policies with international norms while acknowledging genuine criticism. To strengthen the constitutional principles of secularism and equality of all before law should be a priority in this regard.
