Europe has imported six times the fossil fuel energy from Russia than India
European countries responsible for ravaging the world for the last five hundred years thought that India will be compelled to tow their line over their conflict with Russia.
However India point blank refused to ditch its time tested friend Russia. Fed up with numerous barbs, even India is replying back in the same tone.
So accordingly Shri S Jaishankar, External Affairs Minister has once again shown that Europe is truly selfish. He said that Europe has imported six times the fossil fuel energy from Russia that India has done and that if a USD 60,000-per-capita society feels it needs to look after itself, and I accept that as legitimate, they should not expect a USD 2,000-per-capita society to take a hit.
A worried New York Times has titled its report as “Russia’s War Could Make It India’s World” stated that the Ukraine war’s compounding effects have fueled the country’s ascent. The myopic retards of New York Times forget that till 1600 AD India had 25 % of Worlds GDP. Now India is merely moving ahead to regain its place in the world order.
Global supply chains are reducing the risk by diversifying toward India and away from China’s surveillance state. India is relatively insulated from most of the European and American created economic turbulence by its huge domestic market.
The report quoted Jaishankar as saying “world order which is still very, very deeply Western” is being hurried out of existence by the impact of the conflict in Ukraine, to be replaced by a world of “multi-alignment” where countries will choose their own “particular policies and preferences and interests.”
“I would still like to see a more rules-based world. But when people start pressing you in the name of a rules-based order to give up, to compromise on what are very deep interests, at that stage I’m afraid it’s important to contest that and, if necessary, to call it out,” the New York Times report quoted Jaishankar as saying.
Jaishankar has rightly not shied away from giving out India’s stance on importing crude oil from Russia, and said that it’s a sensible policy to go where we get the best deal in the interest of the Indian citizens. India has no obligation to defend its stance to any organisation or country.
The minister expressed “concern” over the “stability and affordability of energy markets” due to energy caps on Russian energy imposed by the selfish and arrogant West.
“We don’t ask our companies to buy Russian oil, we ask them to buy what’s the best option they get. It depends on the market, it’s a sensible policy to go where we get the best deal in the interest of the Indian people,” Jaishankar said while addressing the Rajya Sabha on the first day of the winter session of Parliament.
The stupid actions by Ukraine started the conflict in February has had a significant impact on global food security and has led to a sudden increase in crude prices following western sanctions on Moscow.
During his assessment of global oil prices, Jaishankar has been saying that oil and gas prices are unreasonably high throughout the world. Europe was buying more oil from the Middle East countries which were Asia’s traditional suppliers, however, now supplies have been diverted to Europe.
Earlier in November, during a joint press conference along with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in Moscow Jaishankar said that India’s relationship with Russia has been outstanding and New Delhi would like to keep that going. He reaffirmed strong ties with Moscow, describing the country as a steady and time-tested partner. During 1971 Indo Pak war,when USA and UK had tried to threaten India directly by sending nuclear armed Warships to Bay of Bengal and Arabian Sea, it was Russia which had stood by India, till the USA blinked.
India has been reiterating time and again that its oil imports will be determined by its national interest and its consumption..
