India’s evolving stand on the Israel-Hamas war
Context:
India's shifting stance on the Israel-Hamas conflict and the persistent challenges related to the Khalistani separatist movement is a task in present time for Indian Diplomacy.
India's Shifting Stance on Israel-Hamas Conflict

- Hesitation to Label Hamas a Terror Organization: In contrast to Western countries, India has refrained from designating Hamas as a terror organization. India's position remains distinct, focusing on talks to resolve the conflict while maintaining strategic ties with Israel.
- Link to Mumbai Attacks and Counter-Terror Cooperation: The editorial notes Israel's move to ban Lashkar-e-Taiba, responsible for the 26/11 Mumbai attacks, in an attempt to influence India's stance on Hamas.
Khalistan Issue
- Thwarted Plot on Khalistani Separatist: The Financial Times reported a U.S. intervention in preventing a plot to assassinate Khalistani separatist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun on U.S. soil.
- India's Response to U.S. Allegations: In response to the U.S. report, India acknowledged security-related discussions with the U.S., emphasizing shared concerns about the nexus between criminals, gun runners, and terrorists.
- Ongoing Security Challenges: The need for a coherent and transparent approach to national security, especially concerning dual responses, is emphasized.
Way forward
- Secrecy Surrounding Responses: The Indian government should shed some of the secrecy surrounding its dual responses to security challenges.
- Continued Relevance: The need for clarity in India's response to these challenges is emphasized for effective handling of national security matters.
- Time for Strategic Clarity: As matters of national security persist, the editorial suggests that it is time for the government to provide strategic clarity.
