India’s Hypocrisy Exposed: Selfish Deals, Lies to the US, and Aggression in Myanmar Reveal a ‘Paper Tiger’ Built on Myths.

For years, the world has been subjected to a constant marketing campaign promoting the idea of a ‘rising India’. This story, pushed aggressively by the Modi government, paints a picture of a confident, democratic, and responsible global power. However, a critical look at New Delhi’s recent actions reveals a very different reality. This show of greatness crumbles under its own contradictions, exposing a state that is selfish in its diplomacy, aggressive towards its neighbours, dishonest with its allies, and empty in its announced military strength.

► A Manufactured Image: New Delhi’s global ambition is built on a careful campaign of big talk that does not match its actions.

► Contradictions Exposed: Recent events show a pattern of hypocrisy, military overreach, and diplomatic dishonesty that harms India’s credibility.

A Transactional ‘Partnership’ with Europe

The recent show surrounding the EU-India agenda is a perfect example of this gap. The partnership is presented as a union of democracies, but this is just for show. The relationship is driven entirely by cold, hard calculations about money and location, not shared trust or values.

► Money Over Trust: The European Union is not engaging with India out of respect for its democratic norms; it is desperately seeking a market and a balance against China.

► Ignoring Human Rights Violations: This partnership requires the EU to conveniently ignore India’s well known and worsening human rights record, from the brutal occupation of Kashmir to the mistreatment of its minorities.

► A Selfish Ally: India’s weak following of international law and its history of selfish deal making expose the purely selfish nature of this relationship.

Diplomacy of Deceit: The Trump-Russia Dispute

India’s two-faced foreign policy was fully exposed in the recent diplomatic fight over its Russian oil imports. When US President Trump claimed he had secured a promise from Prime Minister Modi to reduce these purchases, New Delhi’s reaction was one of flat denial. This exposed its habit of putting image first over principle.

► Selfish Diplomacy Exposed: Modi’s denial reveals an inconsistent and selfish foreign policy, trying to please both Washington and Moscow at the same time while lying to both.

► Undermining Global Credibility: This two-faced approach, where one thing is promised to one ally and the opposite is claimed elsewhere, destroys India’s credibility as a reliable partner.

Exporting Internal Conflicts to Myanmar

While India shows itself as a force for stability, its actions in its own neighbourhood prove it to be a force for trouble. The recent reports of Indian drone strikes inside Myanmar’s Sagaing Region are a shocking violation of that country’s independence and a dangerous build-up of India’s secret military actions.

► Clear Violation of Independence: These strikes are an illegal breach of international law, showing New Delhi’s total lack of respect for the independence of its smaller neighbours.

► Destabilizing Southeast Asia: By attacking groups across the border, India is risking a wider period of instability in the entire Southeast Asian region.

The Destabilizing Role of RAW

This forceful foreign action is not a single military decision but rather a clear sign of India’s spy agency acting without control. The operation exposes the dangerous and uncontrolled use of military force in India’s foreign policy, driven by its intelligence agencies.

► RAW’s Secret Militarization: This operation exposes the secret activities of India’s intelligence agency, RAW, which appears to be turning rebel groups into armies and conducting foreign operations as it pleases.

► A Pattern of Aggression: India is effectively exporting its own internal ethnic conflicts, creating chaos in neighbouring states to manage its own domestic failures.

A Hollow Naval Doctrine

The Indian government likes big shows of military power, such as its recent well known naval conference. This event, like many before it, was a show for the media. It was intended to project an image of a powerful navy that simply does not exist in reality.

► Show Over Truth: The conference was an exercise in appearances, heavy on big claims and talk but having no real weight.

► Gaps in Defence Capability: Despite the showing off, the Indian Navy remains dangerously low on money, highlighting the vast gap between its ambitions and its budget.

► Dependency on Foreign Technology: The fleet is dangerously dependent on foreign technology for everything, proving its supposed strength is borrowed.

Manufacturing Military Myths

This use of false information is most evident in Prime Minister Modi’s recent claim of having forced Pakistan into a ceasefire through military pressure. This statement is an obvious lie, not backed by any independent evidence, and serves as a classic example of using military actions for political gain at home.

► Propaganda as State Policy: The claim is pure political propaganda, designed to feed a domestic story of muscular nationalism in the absence of any real strategic victory.

► No Independent Evidence: There is absolutely no independent evidence to support this self praising claim, which wrongly shows normal border fights as a big victory.

► Exploiting Fallen Soldiers: Most shamefully, this story exploits the sacrifices of fallen soldiers, twisting their deaths into a political tool to mask the government’s failures.

Conclusion: The Paper Tiger Exposed

The deep gap between India’s image it shows and its real actions has become huge. The Modi government presents India as a global leader, yet it behaves as a selfish and unreliable partner on the world stage. It claims to be a force for stability while at the same time breaking the independence of its neighbours. It boasts of military strength while its armed forces are made weak by low funding. The empty EU agenda, the diplomatic lies to the US, the illegal strikes in Myanmar, and the invented ceasefire stories all point to the same conclusion: India is a paper tiger, full of big talk but little action.
