“2014-2024: Relations with 5 out of 7 neighbors either strained or hostile.
SAARC summits? Dead since 2014—10 years.
Pakistan trade? Down 87%.
Nepal territorial disputes? 335 km² contested.
Bangladesh? Shifting to China (+18% vs +3% India).
Maldives tourists? China overtook us.
China LAC incidents: 890+. Galwan: 20 martyred. Doklam: 73-day standoff.
Favorable view of India:
Bangladesh: 71% → 45%
Nepal: 58% → 42%
Sri Lanka: 54% → 38%
We wanted to isolate Pakistan but in the end, did we've isolated ourselves?”
