A dark shadow on New Delhi’s credibility
Context:
The way India handles the American indictment against an Indian will shape its global image and long-term consequences.
Espionage, Covert Operations, and Public Image
- Unwritten Rule: In espionage, avoiding detection is key; in public diplomacy, avoiding lies is crucial. Recent events pose challenges.
- Allegations' Impact: U.S. indictment against an Indian for targeting Khalistani separatists raises credibility questions for India in covert and public spheres.
- Legal and Diplomatic Concerns: The allegations test India's credibility in covert capacities and public messaging, demanding a thorough response.
Trust Deficit in Intelligence Sharing
- Legal Challenges: Recent intelligence operations, legal challenges in friendly countries, and the U.S. indictment indicate trust deficits.
- Incomplete Information: U.S. caution to India without full disclosure hints at gaps in intelligence sharing and bilateral cooperation.
- Broader Implications: Trust issues in intelligence-sharing impact not just India-U.S. relations but raise questions about India's actions among western allies.
Diplomatic Strategy and Global Image
- Double Standards: India's varied responses to allegations from Canada and the U.S. reflect double standards, impacting its global image.
- Neighbourhood Impact: The case's repercussions on South Asian nations demand strategic reassurance to address concerns about Indian agencies' activities.
- Image Projection: The lasting impact depends on whether India presents itself as a "hard power" or adherent to international law and diplomacy.
